Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't really care much, but the name Armie Hammer makes me laugh every time I see it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OMG, I've been hung up on this casting forever. I think I have an Evernote keeping track of suggestions (with pics) and a tumblr tag for it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, man. I think Taylor could rock that.

Because books.

Armie Hammer is pretty but sort of pedestrian to me. And Taylor Kitsch has too much attitude, too much pout, for me anyway. Hedlund is probably the closest to what I imagined out of those three.

Too much attitude? But Finnick is all attitude in his introduction (I just reread it looking for character descriptions--bless you, Nook app)--you definitely need someone who can play cocky, as well as all the other spoilery things. From what I've seen of FNL, he's as good a choice as many.

I do not get Garrett Hedlund in the least, tho.

Here's the latest list I have:

  • Jensen (I put him on just to warm up)
  • Justin Hartley (Smallville)
  • Zac Efron
  • Taylor Kitsch
  • Charlie Hunnam (I've been told he's too old)
  • Chris Zylka (Secret Circle)

I've also seen Alex Pettyfer on people's lists.

Zac Efron is too sweet. Charlie Hunnam is probably too old, although I would LOVE that.

I've never seen Garrett Hedlund in action, I realize. He's got the look, though.

I may not be remembering right, but I thought Finnick was smoother, slicker. Taylor Kitsch on FNL was more pouty bad boy.

He's way OTT in his first encounter with Katniss. And I totally interpet it as bad boy with a complete knowledge of his charms. Given that Taylor also played Gambit pretty well, I can totally see it.

I have to read it again, then. If the neighbor kid ever gives me back my book.

Here are two of the pages of his introduction (images, because the app won't let me cut and paste):

Gambit was one of the few good things about the Wolverine movie, and he's pretty similar to this. No idea about his character in the two bombs of this year.

Oh, I forgot the golden-net sarong, and the sexual innuendo. Clearly, I have to reread.
