Oops, sorry!   :-[   Maybe I should do a Dresden Files casting with the Babylon 5/Crusade cast.  Hmmmm.  ....but probably none of you here would get it.

A books series.  Recently described as what would happen if Harry Potter got drunk and lost his virginity to the Ghostbusters.  You should try it.

...The Books I mean.

Gillian Jacobs as Karrin Murphy
Alison Brie as Molly Carpenter
Danny Pudi as Waldo Butters
Donald Glover as Carlos Ramirez
Yvette Nicole Brown as Charity Carpenter
Chevy Chase as Bob the Skull
Harry Dresden and the Sorcerer's Curse

Okay, so I went and saw "A Good Day to Die Hard" this weekend, and half-way through I leaned over to my wife and said ...

At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

Would he use magic to fight "diabetus"?

I know this may sound odd, but I think he's too old.  He doesn't seem to be the kind of guy who would still be working his farm in the Ozarks.

I was wandering youtube and came across you doing that monologue and now I'm going to have trouble finding another Molly. It'd be really convenient if you could become famous and do a bunch of TV so I have some clips to cut from.

Oh, gods. XD  I've only done theater in the past, and screen acting is a totally different beast.  But I had to prepare a monologue for my application to CalArts' film directing program, and I figured why not go with a piece of text that was meaningful to me?  Now that I'm at USC, I'll be sticking to the other side of the camera for the foreseeable future, and the world will be better for it.  :D

I respectfully disagree.  The world would be a richer place for having you on screen.   We do have you-as-Molly in a Worldbuilder's charity calender, so a good cause is richer already for your image :)

PS  Everyone go buy one right now!  They are on sale at ThinkGeek, and its for a worthy cause

*sighs* :'( Can't buy ThinkGeek things. Which is probably good for my economy.
