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!

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

Date: 2006-08-04 12:01 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2006-08-04 06:23 pm (UTC)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 :)

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.
