History is the universal subject. All of human experience is encompassed in History. Even though I am nominally an "Adjunct Professor of Public and Environmental Affairs and Political Science", I am an Historian, not a Political Scientist (in fact, to me "political science" is an oxymoron--don't tell my dean).

role. I have stage experience, no problem there. Movies can't be that different, right? (Haw!--famous last words for many an actor when movies--especially talkies-- came in.) And while I'm dashingly handsome, the make-up and FX crew can deal with that. Only problem is my height--6'2" while Jack is 5'11". So I'd hafta be chopped-off at the ankles. Still, no sacrifice is too great for art. And now I =really= have to get some rest, cuz I'm raving. Manana, shipmate.
So kind of you to offer, Mike, but I'll be glad to fill in if we get desperate. Who's playing Gia? BTW, I just watched Spy Hard last night (starring Leslie Nielsen). It's gotta be good being Leslie Nielsen. (If you watch the movie, you'll get my drift).

We could have a whole bunch of boardwalkers as Jack, just as CASINO ROYALE had all kinds of James Bonds!

Why, Kenji, I'm shocked--shocked!--that you would use such language! Here in the good old USA these days, we're not supposed to employ such insensitive, divisive terms. Say what you mean? Not anymore, pal. Let's see...it's Tuesday, so I guess the approved phrase today is "alternatively sane." But that might change tomorrow.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
