Xander ,'First Date'
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.
Alex Pettyfer is number one on my list. Garrett Hedlund number two.
Armie Hammer is way too beefy. if Hunnam(he is!) is too old, Justin Hartley(he so is!) is way too old. Kitsch is only a year younger than Hunnam(and starting to look his age IMO).
of that list, only two are age appropriate Zylka and ZEfron and neither are Finnick for me. though i do love me some ZEfron.
I don't feel the actors have to be the characters' ages, they just have to look them. And I haven't seen the pics of Kitsch that you have. Maybe his box office results have taken years off his life. I think Pettyfer looks older than Kitsch right now.

I gotta say, my first reaction is: Ian McShane? SERIOUSLY? WOW.
I've felt that way about him, mostly.
Huh. That there is a very nice roster of awesome British character actors. In between this and The Hobbit, playing dwarves is in this year, I guess.
Damn, FILM CRIT HULK is in The New Yorker! Writing about Ruffalo's Hulk, no less (with a fairly substantial digression into Bixby's Banner).
Pondering why the sound of the siren from Prometheus gives me serious heebie-jeebies.
My brother was never into comics. Friends in high school were, and I've been reading them for about 20 years, off and on, but my entry points were Vertigo and the old Warren Ellis Forum. The first time I got an ongoing superhero title was during Morrison's Batman run 2 years ago. There are a few other things like Immortal Iron Fist that I got in TPBs, but I'd guess that maybe 5% of my comics are superhero books.
So I'm all about Nolan's Batman, but the last Marvel movie I saw in a theater was Spider-Man.

My flippant answer is that it was probably specifically created to trigger that reaction, because I know you're not the only person to have that creep-out reaction to it. Every time I see the trailer, I can feel my muscles tensing up when the siren noise becomes audible.
Not flippant, Jilli, I suspect you're right. It has to be a deliberate combination of pitch and frequency, or something. I can hear it in my head right now. Somebody give me a silly earworm, quick.
