Not long ago Alice Longworth managed to startle even me by announcing, at a dinner party: "Daisy Harriman told me that every time she was alone with Senator Gore he would pounce on her. I could never understand why he liked her. After all, he was blind. But then Daisy always smelled nice."

If Spacey goes Method in the villa, what will the budget be for teenage boy 'day labor'?

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 22 July 2017 01:35 (six years ago) link

ughhh why does it have to be Spacey :(

No matter how hard Kevin Spacey (or the script) tries, I don't think he (or it) could ever faithfully capture Gore's caustic personality or the degree of contempt in which he held 'the opposition'.

Spacey is about 58, I wonder what ages he'll be playing GV? He was 43 at the big TV tiff with Buckley.

Obv the Young Vidal years would require someone handsomer.

The film is in the can, and Netflix will not release it. Gore wins!
