Word of Mouth

Todd Haynes' yet to be released (September 21, according to IMDB) Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There has all the Dylan fans salivating. The movie's unorthodox cast includes six different actors playing Dylan in various stages of life, among them Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere and Heath Ledger. But there could have been only one guy suited to portray the beat poet Allen Ginsberg, Dylan's longtime sidekick (there had been rumors that Ginsberg was hopelessly crushed out on Dylan) and that's Mr. Mr. Show/ Mr. Arrested Development/ Mr. That Guy from Scary Movie 2 David Cross. Here's a clip of Cross meeting Blanchett for the first time in the movie. Check it out and you'll see what I mean. Cross is sooooooo Ginsberg. Blanchett, I must say is pretty convincing as the young Dylan.
