In Lucas' immortal words... NOOOOOOOOO!!!

I've just read that Daniel "Two expressions" Radcliffe is murdering Equus...

No words, absolutely no words.

Why doesn't Colin Firth rise like the Spectre of Venceange and PULVERISE this wooden non-actor whoƬs getting roles just because he's La Rowling's darling? Colin was - and IS, oh how he is still - one wonder of an actor! He can act! He can act well! He was a lovely and perfect Alan - hung like a horse, BTW and no pun :-D - with an enormous range of expressions, tones and subtle subtext. WAH! When will this bastardisation of culture end?

In other news, RL tried hard to kill me, but was, once again, foiled. Call me The Travel Agent Who Lived. HA!

I had no idea what Equus was until I looked it up, but I feel your pain. I felt the same way when I learned that Keanu Reeves was going to star in Constantine. -_-

So... (*patspats*) Sorry to hear it. Just remember, nothing can take the older, non-sucky versions from you. :)

(incidentally, when I looked it up, I found one article from last December where a spokesman for Radcliffe stated that the rumour of him starring in Equus was completely unsubstantiated, and one article from last week which confirmed that he was, indeed, going to star there. There's possibly some kind of lesson there about trusting a) spokespeople, b) the Internet, or c) both. =])

I'm very fond of Colin Firth, also. He was just plain amazing in Pride and Prejudice, just for starters. :D In fact, he gave me a fictional character I could identify with as much as with the Phantom of the Opera - which is nice, because it felt weird that the fictional character I could identify with the most was such a complete messed-up nut of a man. =]

> In other news, RL tried hard to kill me, but was, once again, foiled.

You didn't get where you are today by going around dying all the time - RL should have realised that by now. =] What happened? The usual crap deciding to launch an offensive, or brand new crap sneaking up on you?

Say something against Keanu Reeves and die!!! :D
BTW, not everyone is Anthony Hopkins :D Someone should take by their looks :D I hope, for your sake, you don't hold anything against Colin Farrel :D

I defy death threats! I say it loud, and I say it clear - the man butchered the part of John Constantine! Constantine is a brooding anti-hero! That's not the same thing as being a self-pitying asshole, but try telling that to Keanu Reeves! :P

I have absolutely no idea who Colin Farrel is, so I can hardly hold anything against him. So I'm clear on that score, at least. =]

You haven't seen Alexander??? Poor you! That's why you are straight! :D Where are your other reviews, my dear? I was so much looking forward to them ;D
