So in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, and all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars’ll be out, and don’t you know that God is Pooh Bear? the evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what’s going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty.

i am a fan of garrett as dean/neal and viggo as lee/burroughs. tom as ginsberg? idk about that. and kstew as “the only woman that dean ever loved”? not a fan.
I know :/ I really hope the movie doesn’t turn her into a bigger character than she was in the book, either I’M JUST REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT HER PORTRAYAL, and she really doesn’t even look like marylou is described…
Reblogging myself to say that, yes!, Marylou wasn’t all that in the book, but I have the strangest feeling she will be bigger in the movie than she was in the book. I’ve created a totally different Marylou in my mind at reading On the Road, you see. Actually, except for Viggo, I didn’t reconized the characters in none of these actors (okay Garrett is great), but KriStew is so far the worst choice to the role she is in. I’m not saying that because of my obviously hate for Twilight, but mostly because of Marylou’s characterization. I’m really satisfied with the choices for Sal and Dean; it was not what I was expecting for them, though. Anyway, I trust in Walter Salles as a good director and, just maybe, the movie will surprise me a lot.
