Um... Look! Over there! It's Sally Field!

Dear reader (are you still there?), to distract you from the fact that I haven't blogged in so long that the blogger interface has actually changed since last I used it, here is some interesting news about everyone's favorite flying nun.

She has, apparently, been cast as none other than Mary Todd Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's mouthwateringly-anticipated Lincoln bio pic.

While she never would've sprung to my mind, in hindsight it seems like the best bit of casting since Christopher Reeve put on Superman's red undies. I can't think of anyone who could better portray Mary Todd's warmth and humor alongside the scary-crazy of her darker moments. Sally gives the impression that at one moment she could be serving you warm brownies and in the next moment bashing her own skull with the pan.
