Colin Firth would have made a terribly interesting Sirius.
That's an interesting take. I think it would have worked, though I've always pictured a rougher Sirius.
Of course, then I think I would have to pair him with David Wenham as Remus.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I see you weren't in the midwest in '95, Corwood. Exploding chickens! Among all sorts of other bad stuff.
Well, exploding birds, sure. But did they explode into rapidly* expanding fireballs?
* but not too rapidly because your heroes need to be able to outrun them.
It's excellent. Pete and I were talking about it last night.
My eyes kind of bugged out when I read it, but you're right. He's got that sort of rugged, haggard thing going on that'll work for the character. Nice.
From ita's link (I keep clicking on them ... I don't know why):
Monty Python's Flying Circus features a sketch with an exploding penguin. There was no visible biological reason, nor explosives; it was just eight o'clock
You click on them because they provide unpredictable reward. It's a conditioning technique.
Pay no attention to the blonde behind the curtain.
Intermittant reinforcement ... you been taking lessons from my family?
I didn't know that birds could explode in gigantic fireballs.
I think it would require lots of them flying into the engine intakes of jet aircraft. Which I'm sure we'll see in the remake.
But, then, I'm the person who, while watching P&P, was thinking that Colin Firth would have made a terribly interesting Sirius.
While watching HP:TOOP, I found myself wondering when Colin Firth was going to get cast in these movies.
