While I was talking today to Bright Star’s talented Ben Whishaw (the full chat will be coming to Movieline next week), we landed on the topic of Taymor, who directed him in her upcoming adaptation of The Tempest. As the actor discussed her, suddenly the thought crossed my mind: Whishaw himself is bookishly handsome, has a theatrical background, and has sung in roles before (including one scene in Bright Star). Surely Taymor approached him to play Peter Parker at some point?

So I asked. And, pay dirt.

“She did, yes!” Whishaw said. “She did ask me to speak to her about it.”

Still, despite Taymor’s vote of confidence, Whishaw wasn’t sure he’d be right for the role. “I don’t feel confident enough as a singer,” he admitted, though he has nothing but praise for Taymor’s methods.

“She’s working at a very furious pace. You almost have the sense that she could do anything on a project: she could act in it, she could light it, she could design it, she could direct it. She’s working at a real speed, and you’ve either got to be up to her speed or lag behind. I like that kind of challenge.”

Certainly, a Spider-Man musical would have posed a very different challenge than the sedate Bright Star. “Yeah,” Whishaw said, laughing. “And maybe not a bad one! I’d love to do a play or something with her, or even another type of musical. I’m just not a strong enough vocalist for Spider-Man.”

Thank Baby Jesus he said no holy shit.The role has been cast now, though - Reeve Carney got the part and I think he'll be awesome.

Recap: I work at my university's library at the circulation desk. It's basically a long counter with four computers on it. Both ends of the counter are open and so is our back room (I'm not 100% why it doesn't have a door, but whatever). Basically, if you're standing in front of about the middle of the desk, you can see right into the very open room. We're also like five feet from the front doors of the library. At this time, I had a bowl of reheated pasta with a roll. I had been on my break, but my co-worker was ill and she had to make a run for the washroom. So I left my lunch on the counter and went out. And this is the basis for the most bizarre customer experience I've ever had.

It's a typical customer interaction. He is returning some books. I take them and sign them in, then bid him good day. Oh, wait -

Yes, sir, that is my lunch.

Yes, it does smell very good.

No, sir, I can't share, but I will laugh like I found your joke amusing.

You have a good day, too.

Next!

Wait, sir, you're not supposed to be back here -

....

Is that my lunch in your hands?
