No, because he's not playing R'as, he's playing Henri Ducard.
Who's that?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
No, because he's not playing Ra's, he's playing Henri Ducard. Ken Watanabe is playing Ra's.Bah. I'm an idiot. I even knew that and my brain went wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My god, the apostrophe in Ra's is even more restrictive than the Jaffa punctuation. How in god's name do you go possessive with that and not lose an eye?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
How in god's name do you go possessive with that and not lose an eye?
Well, that's why they make you wear protective lenses. I mean, sure, if you say it, you can just duck, but if someone else says it? You're in danger. And if they type it, well, let's just hope you are wearing a high collar. 'S'all I'm sayin'.

To every idea a shelf...
Just watched Before Sunset.
What did you think of the ending? I really liked it, it kind of reminded me of Say Anything. (very vague spoiler)
With His Dark Materials, how will they deal with characters like the two angels if they remove religious content? From what I remember they weren't presented in an entirely positive light.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Well, positive, but I suspect their gayness might not play well in Utah.

Oh, I'm sure the writers'll pull an Achilles/Patroclus on us. But wasn't one of the angels kind of whiny and cowardly? I can't even remember what happened to the two of them in the end. Anyway, I guess I'm really just wondering how the film makers will deal with the domino effect of making God a Generic Authority.
Did the stage version retain the religious content?

Yes, it did. And the angels are kinda grumpy, then one dies futilely and the other sacrifices himself.

Sounds sort of like Dogma.

I'm sure they're just good friends.
