Light up the mic like a Simaril!

[neverwhere]

Bwahahahaha!

Everyone who hasn't done so already must GO HERE and listen to The Lord of the Rhymes, I guarantee a most surreal experience and you might even laugh your arse off. Or at least snort loudly at a certain line about being a dwarf. Hehehehehehe.


Am trying not to think about the fact that my debit card was eaten at a cashpoint yesterday, I'm overdrawn on my credit card and I have no money in my checking account. Nope, not worrying about it at all...*whistles innocently*


Did you hear the news? Timothy Spall is going to be Peter Pettigrew in Prisoner of Azkaban! Yayyyyyyyy!
Okay, I know most of you probably have no idea who he is, but he's a fantastic British actor and will be the most perfect Wormtail. Visual evidence can be found here and here. I'm so excited about Azkaban, I know it's going to be fantastic, because the director knows and understands the true magick of childhood -- his first film was the astonishing A Little Princess, which sadly no one saw because of the title, but is truly a masterpiece. Go watch it now! :D


I finally got my pictures which have been lingering in the camera for months developed, so now I have to scan: a few of Anthony Stewart Head looking very cute in a checked shirt, some very silly rehearsal photos, various people at an LJ meetup, an exceedingly cute picture of trukkle, cubey and timmypup, a few very poor quality pics from the Two Towers premiere (although I do have the SWEETEST picture of the beautiful trianne), and a very, very bad picture of me with Michael Palin. Will try and do that within the next few days. Honestly. *G*

And speaking of pictures... eyre_lasgalen posted some pictures from her visit to England with wreibyn, and as there are quite a few of me there as well I thought I'd post them here for your viewing pleasure. *grins*







Wreibyn, Nevvie and Eyre on a London bus on Canada day!





We are soooooo cute!




Eyre and me at the great Roman bath, in, surprisingly enough, Bath. I love this picture.




Me and Kara in a tour bus over looking beautiful Bath. It's a shame this picture doesn't do justice to the spectacular sight below us.


And finally...This picture is too big to post here, so just click me instead.
It's Eyre, Kara, two lovely Ravenclaw girls from Hogwarts Online, an ex-boyfriend and a Texan. Oh, and me. And if you couldn't guess, we're at the London Dungeon. *grins*

Everyone playing the Mauraders era crew are too old (especially James, but don't me started on that *foams at the mouth* ;-), but if they look the part I dont mind. Can you imagine ANYone else as Snape other than Alan Rickman? No, didn't think so. *grins*

Erm, yes... I'm a huge Alan Rickman fan but I still think he's totally miscast as Snape - it's too much like other things he's done and I find his acting is too "easy". Plus I imagine Snape as a lot more hunched over than that, and with a bigger nose (not sure why, I just do :) ).

So, for me, Snape's always been Tim Roth. Who would have played the part, except that he turned it down to do something else...

But I completely agree with what you say in principle - looking the part is the most important thing. Although the suggestions on www.billyboyd.net that Billeh should play Lupin were distinctly appealing, and he would be pretty much exactly the right age... (it's going to be Ewan MacGregor, though, isn't it?)

I hope to got it isn't Ewan, he would be totally wrong for the part. But that is the strong rumour, yes.

And I see what you're saying about Alan Rickman -- I wanted Tim Roth to do it too, but he stupidly decided to be in Planet of the Apes instead. What a loser. *grins*
I still think AR is a marvelous Snape, but Tim would have been excellent too.

Good grief! I didn't know that's what he chucked it in for.

Idiot... Oh well, I'll forgive him for his stupidity, for the sake of R&G are Dead and Rob Roy... :)

Re:

OMG he was so damn sexy in Rob Roy -- forget Liam Neeson! All I could do was staaaaare at that malicious and oh-so-gorgeous badguy...*laughs*

Re:

Oh, so I'm not the only one then???

(Although actually I was rather taken with Jessica Lange too!)

Have you seen Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, by the way? It's kind of lovely seeing Gary Oldman and Tim Roth as these Shakespearean fall guy poppets. Fancied them both rotten in it. :)

*chuckles*

I've seen the film at least 10 times, and the play twice. I just love Tom Stoppard. :)

R&G is actually the only time I've ever fancied Gary Oldman, he was so utterly adorable and clueless, and, well, I just can't resist a man with floppy hair. *laughs*
