Gerard Butler is/was a model?
He's not? I'd never heard of him before Phantom, so it's possible I've been misinformed.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Everything I've seen and heard of the filmed Phantom leads me to believe that it will suck enourmously.
Oh yes. I have every faith that it will suck beyond the telling of it. And frankly, having seen it twice on the stage, once with an impressive Phantom (and once with a pretty disappointing Phantom) and once with a Christine so impressive that the audience lept to their feet and started screaming and lighting lighters when she took her curtain call, I'm not sure I even want to see it on film.
I'm not kidding about the audience reaction to that one Christine. That was the night I saw with a poor Phantom, but nobody cared because Christine's performance was transcendant to an almost absurd level. I know it brought me to tears on more than one occasion.
I can't wait to see Blade: Trinity. I'm helpless in its thrall, despite all the advance press.
I am ita in this regard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gerard? No, he's a British actor...checks IMDB...has theatre on his resume, and since then has been gritty in cheesy action movies.
But I fault his film choices more than his talent -- he's been good in the crap (Lara Croft, Reign Of Fire, Dracula 2000) I've seen him in. Better than his surroundings, anyway.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Wasn't his first real public notice over that awful Attila TV miniseries?
I had trouble recognizing him as the same actor between Reign of Fire and DREKulaDracula 2000.

I own both Attila and Dracula 2000. Unrepentant love.

I've never seen this Attila thing. I may need to visit Netflix.

I'm reading this IMDB snippet on His Dark Materials, and I agree that it would be pretty unsellable on a large scale with the anti-religious bent.
Huh. Okay, yes, but without the religious content, it's hardly the same story, is it?

It gets complicated to posit one Authority that's been messing with people over that length of time without going all Illuminati, and that's still in the ballpark.
So no, not the same story, but I think the marvels and the visuals are probably what they bought it for anyway. It's a really angry story.

Not really.

Well, it's 223 in my queue, so we'll see.
It could end up being one of those "Okay, on crack and using the web" selections. I'm The One That I Want just got sent back unopened -- when I reached my limit of Cho, I forgot to go back and prune the list.
