Sumi, that article you posted a link to on Wincest is an awesomely interesting read. Thanks for that, as well as the Misha-Castiel stuff.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Who do we think made the mistake, the person writing the interview or Misha?
Well, the person writing the interview seemed to have only the most passing acquaintance with spelling, and evidently was not on speaking terms with dictionaries. ijs.

Maybe they will eventually be worn to tatters and I will morph from “holy tax accountant” to “holy homeless guy.”
I like this guy!

Because books.
Don't they all pronounce it Constan-TEEN in the movie, though?
Misha sounds like he fits right in, doesn't he? ::dreams of the day he does a con with the boys::

Well, the movie does turn him into a dark-haired American hottie, rather than a scruffy blond Scouser, so pronunciation not so much true to the original text. Guess you can pick your canon!
(Although I liked the movie, and loved Gabriel. Gah. Hotness. Still, I'm sorry that they'll never make a movie of the comic now, because I love the fact that he's a blue collar Liverpudlian, and that so many of his stories are set in Thatcher's Britain. It's such a very unAmerican fantasy, and such a very unHarryPotter take on English fantasy [cue reiteration of how fabulous Gaiman's Books of Magic is. Although not so much the nonGaiman spinoffs.])

Books of Magic came out a bit before the first Harry Potter novel, didn't it? I remember being struck by how very much Harry resembled Tim Hunter when I first became aware of the series. Down to the owl.

To be fair, Books of Magic didn't invent the archetype of the dark-haired, bespectacled boy who gains or discovers he has powers. But there's definitely a resemblance.

Yeah, I think Neil Gaiman mentioned that in his blog once.
To be fair, Books of Magic didn't invent the archetype of the dark-haired, bespectacled boy who gains or discovers he has powers.
And he basically said this.

The owl familiar and the bitter adult authority figure who's sure the budding wizard will go bad and therefore behaves ultra-scary towards him both struck me as a bit more specific correspondence than the archetype would warrant, though.

I can't believe that Metallicar was only 7th of the Top 8 Coolest TV Cars.
