I remember recoiling a bit at the opening words--"Tra and la!"--finding them annoyingly perky and jaunty. I immediately imagined the actress Amy Adams, based on her work in Junebug, for instance, of being capable of uttering them without any hint of irony. Would Amy A play Amy D?
And then, this month, Amy Adams turned up on the cover of Vogue with the accompanying headline AMAZING AMY. I may have looked bemused for a moment because, as readers of Gone Girl will know, Amy D's parents write a series of YA novels about Amazing Amy, an idealized version of their own dear but imperfect daughter.

It's breaking my heart to imagine how much better the Gone Girl movie could have been with Amy Adams instead. And maybe someone else instead of Ben Afflect, too.
Oh no--was Rosamond not good? I haven't seen the film yet and did think lovely Ms R an unusual choice, but hoped for the best . . .
I thought she was fine, but I think Amy Adams would have had a bit more of an edge that would have suited the role better. It was a movie that made me want to go re-read the book.
