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!

ACTORTIME!
Can't be arsed to be all witty and things again, sorry lovelies. Point was: I'd never have imagined Keanu Reeves was actually able to do 'self-pitying asshole'. Maybe he should be Harry, then, because Dannypoo certainly can't even do that.
If you like Danny's voice and pronunciation you should swoon every time Alan Rickman gets on screen. He's, BTW, only one of a host of brilliant actors totally wasted in the wasteland of HP films.
Personally I don't find either sexy or yummy actors who can't act, but that's possibly because my definition of sexy and yummy includes a having a brain. Yes, that's just my opinion, yes, sexy is personal as hell.
Oh, and Russkiekins mine, the others are just babies as well, but none is as bad as Dannypoo and actually the boys playing Ron, Crabbe and Goyle are very good. And the Neville, Luna and Draco actors are more than decent. No, I don't remember their names and don't care to, but they ain't bad at all, specially the Crabbe and goyle kids. So there. :p

Re: ACTORTIME!
As for Draco, he was the son in the King and I which managed to be a hell of a good film and he was a child then and quite good. Also my cousin saw him in a theatre production last year... think it wa "French without tears" and she said he was very good and perfect for the part of the protagonist. Now French without tears is by Rattingan, a Brit guy who wrote plays and it's a very witty sophisticated type of thing. Three brit teens are in France to learn French and one has a complicated and funny-awww affair with the wife of the teacher. The... *gasp*... the 'Alan guy'...? It's PROFESSOR SNAPE to you! :p
Re: ACTORTIME!
But my most beloved voice is Christopher Lee - oh, the power!!! the beauty! Unfortunately his pronunciation isn't as British as I'd have liked (that Americans!!!) but British it is :)
Re: ACTORTIME!
Christopher Lee is also absolutely Brit and has a perfect pronunciation, thankyouverymuch, as he came from RADA and was - and is - a theatre actor.
Where do you get these odd notion of what the 'correct Brit pronunciation' is? Besides UK is NOT one small town, y'know, lots of dialects and different BUT legitimate sounds for the same word. Don't you dare tell me Russian is not the same. :p
Re: ACTORTIME!
I know UK isn't a small town and I even know that there are other languages spoken in UK :) They must have their impact on their natives :)
For example in Russia, which is surely not a small town, there is only one kind of correct pronunciation and I am sure it's the same everywhere. Accents aren't punished but there are just that... accents :)
PS. You should be amusing me, my dear, or I'll eat that little clone of yours alive - oh, he is very amusing :)
Re: ACTORTIME!
P.S. I was not born to amuse thee, troll. Best thou grateful I talk with thee and do not command thee with commands such as 'begone, thou foul troll'. Not that I'd ever give you the satisfaction, honeypoo. You sound far too amused, actually, than it's good for you. now go and repent.

Re: ACTORTIME!
Which movie? :-D
Re: ACTORTIME!
No worries. Being alive and well is mandatory; being witty is optional. =]
> I'd never have imagined Keanu Reeves was actually able to do 'self-pitying
> asshole'.
Mostly, he stomped about, pouted, and glared at everyone in sight. It wasn't really one of the greater artistic efforts in our time. =]
> Maybe he should be Harry, then, because Dannypoo certainly can't even do
> that.
Not sure he can handle the CAPSLOCKS OF DOOM, though. Can't recall ever seeing him emote, or, indeed, give any sort of sign that he hasn't been dead for three hours and is controlled with strings... =]
Re: ACTORTIME!
Grin at the mandatory thingie, actually being alive and well is problematic, not mandatory. :-D
Re: ACTORTIME!
So, mandatory, I say! =]
(on a more serious note, good luck with solving the problematic. :) )
Re: ACTORTIME!
Yet still not mandatory... *sigh*
Anyway am currently recuperating and avoiding dearest DEATH's presence.
Problems won't be solved for a while, but HEY! I keep bouncing back *G*
