Johnny Depp Wants 'The Thin Man' Remake -- And Writers Are Lining Up At Warner Bros

No. No. No. 

I didn't think I was opposed to a Thin Man remake until I read this article and the comments that follow. I don't dislike Johnny Depp as an actor. I loved the "Pirates" movies and Finding Neverland. I guess I just don't want to be ambivalent about the actor playing Nick Charles and I'm definitely ambivalent about Johnny Depp.

There's no mention in the article about an actress slated to play Nora but reading the actresses listed in the comments was painful for me.  Do. Not. Want. I actually like a few of the actresses mentioned but I can't see them as Nora Charles.  Amy Adams was the only name mentioned that made me think "maybe" and that's entirely dependent on her chemistry with whoever plays Nick.  

I know I should probably hold off on any complaints until there's an actual script and cast, including Asta.  I just can't see anyone outdoing this.  And if I want something paying homage to The Thin Man, I'll watch Castle or White Collar, thanks.      

I clipped this from some magazine but the recipe is from Butter Lane Cupcakes. According to the magazine articles, these cupcakes have been known to make men propose, hence the (silly) name.

I've sampled one now and while I don't think it's the kind of cupcake to inspire marriage proposals, it's pretty darn tasty. My mom, who's weird about some food combinations, was not impressed by the idea. She had one bite of a and changed her mind.  I think she would have eaten the peanut butter frosting on its own.

Note: I think the peanut butter frosting would work really well with a chocolate cupcake too.
