Skipped 143 posts in order to have my ha'penn'orth wrt the casting of
Wuthering Heights:
Who is your ideal casting for it? Feel free to roam back in time since you don't think it's been done definitively.
Sean Bean
as Heathcliff. Granted he's fair rather than dark, but he's a real Yorkshireman, and he can do violent and passionate and tight lipped and working class and all that pretty damned well
and
he's strapping and sexay. And he can
act
(which I only realised with "They have a cave troll".) Can't think of anyone else who would give him a run for his money.
Although...aternatively, I could be sold on a mixed race actor - there's plenty of canonical basis for having Heathcliff be mixed race, and that would open up the field rather nicely.
Cathy, however, I'll have to ponder. But she should be sturdy, and not china-doll pretty, or model-looking. Sexy, yes, but not in anything approaching a conscious-of-it or fragile way.
Hmm.
Meanwhile, JohnSweden is me wrt Bond.

Grrr.... I'm getting broken object icons at both this and the X3 site. Maybe I need to update Quicktime. I'll try that and see if that works.
Meh. Didn't like it. Which... is totally par for the course for me and Pixar trailers, so I'll assume the movie will rock.
Yup. Installed iTunes, updated Quicktime. Everything better.
Trailers....
Cars, eh, I still don't know.
X3....
It looks like it will at least be pretty, but as if the fears of Brett Ratner taking over from Bryan Singer weren't bad enough, I'm really irritated that they're
not doing Dark Phoenix, after all that effort they spent building up to it.
At least, that's what I read.
Me, three, wrt to Bond. I never willingly watched a Roger Moore "Bond" flick, if I could help it. Sometimes, however, older brothers who have custody of the remote don't always give you the choice.
I had the same "meh" reaction to the first Finding Nemo trailer, so I'm still holding out hope for Cars.
Yeah,
Finding Nemo
took me completely by surprise. I had no interest in seeing it based on the trailers, but we went to a free screening, and I loved it.
I'm still uneasy about
Cars,
regardless.
Pixar trailers are always discouraging for some reason. I've never liked any of them.
I'm guessing it's because some trailer-making hacks at Disney create them, not Pixar people.
