Ahh, I love Pan's entrance (pun totally intentional) . Ok, if it were a film, who in the big round world would play Pan?

I gotta go with Robert Downey Jr as Pan. What do you think of Kiefer Sutherland as the troubled Alobar?

How could we not go with Johnny Depp? His impish good looks, playful panache, nimble hooves...feet... and lusty satyr style just cries out--Pan! Can you see him in the deepest, most serene forest, lounging against a boulder covered by a thick carpet of moss near a tumbling stream where water nymphs play, fern fronds brushing his withers in time to the haunting notes that wafting from his pipes?

I also thought of Robert Downey Junior - still think I'd give the manic edge to either Robin or Jack though.

Johnny Depp could probably do something Pandemically Cool too, who knows what kind of persona he would come up with?

Otherwise someone a little less known.

I guess Kiefer could do Alobar if you made him dark, but to me Alobar is very dark and brooding. He needs to look Turkish or Greek...

I can't really think of any young contenders for Pan - but I guess he is ancient so it's okay, although he can't look too old. But I reckon either of these guys could Jitterbug it:

Jack Nicholson
Robin Williams

Those are my nominations so far.

Omar Sharif...Clint Eastwood...Sean Connery...depends on the accent you're casting, since Pan's a Greek, Omar's best placed since he speaks the proper lingo.

I nominate Sean Connery to play the role of Alobar. For his younger
days use Daniel Craig.

Connery was the one I thought of the first time read the book years ago.

How’s about Samuel L. Jackson?

For some reason I've always pictured Pan looking like a young Mickey Rourke.. Or Benicio Del Toro. Johnny Depp is almost too pretty. (Although he "uglies up" really nicely- like Captain Jack)

Jack Nicholsen would only work (for me) if it was Jack Nicholsen circa One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Hearing and Looking

What I'm listening to: The Santa Ana winds are blasting and I've cracked my window just enough for the wind to play it like Satchmo on a strange trumpet. The variety of sounds is fascinating from howling to whistling to shaking the windows.

Here's some self-referential art I found:

..I cannot tolerate the passive obliteration of all that I am to myself...... These limbs, this trunk, the heart that drums, they urge me, against all my training, to prevail over submission to the
collective destiny"
i apologize i'm a day late(pg.24). ...but this just stirs something... .DEEEEEEEEEEEP. Can you feel it?

Not to worry, Michael.

One thing we have finally discerned is that information cannot disappear from our universe. After many years, even Hawking admitted he was wrong in thinking that it could. So, forget obliteration. And, the stomach butterflies prior to a transition are nothing more than music (what the hell is that?) perceived in utero.

Our guy TR is quite the wordsmith, though, isn't he?

“Days grew shorter. The citadel was hidden by morning fogs. Beets, resembling the hearts of gnomes, were piled in the storage cellars. Ducks lined up to buy their tickets to southern swamps. Mead was jugged. Blades and leathers oiled. Wolves made clouds when they sang at night. Maybe that was where the fogs came from. Everywhere there were sounds of husks cracking, virgins dancing, the rush of bees on last-minute shopping sprees, the roar of altars ablaze with some sacrifice.”

Walking through Seattle’s foggy October streets tonight, I breathe the songs of wolves.

"Dotted with cow pies and large stones. The stones had been arranged geometrically in patterns that were supposed to mean something to the gods. Presumably, the cow pies had fallen at random, although then, as now, the division between what is random in nature and what is
purposeful is extremely difficult to determine" pg 28 JP could it be that ~existence could be rearranged~ by a change of perspective or a simple 'eye game'? who's to say, that given their various herbal diet,cows aren't laying their monuments in a varied geometry pleasing to the gods as well?
wahooooooo
