Writer's Block: Casting couch
Jul. 22nd, 2010 04:30 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
So very tempted to say Michelle Rodriguez. Although if anyone could think of someone more fitting, they should feel free to chime in, because the only other possible I can think of is whatshername that plays Tonks. Whoever it is must be able to do stunts, there will be fencing in this film.
The problem is I don't look that much like anyone else, except my father's side of the family, and normally if people are looking for a comparison, they go Pacific Island rugby player, not actresses. It's not like anyone else in my family looks like anyone else. I'm guessing Julie Walters for my Mum. Terribly stuck for who to cast as my Grandma.
Friends in RL are just as difficult to cast. Probably one of Crabbe or Goyle for one housemate, and the boy Potter for one of the others. The third housemate and his girlfriend, I have no idea for at all.

Discussing films, I am very tempted to take part in http://www.youtube.com/lifeinaday . I mean, the 24th should be an interesting day, lots of scenery, so I could give it a go.

I decided to do the TV meme. Then I will do the film meme, and then I shall do the Shakespeare meme. I may well also do the Dr. Who meme going round. And when I have finished all of those, it will be doomsday ;)
TV meme:
Day 01 - A show that should have never been canceled
I am going to be boring. I am going to give the same answer I always give. Because damn it, Brimstone should never have been cancelled. My opinion is being reinforced because I'm rewatching it, slowly, at the minute. I've got as far as the second episode and the thing I'm loving at the minute is ( spoiler )
The thing of right and wrong, and the fact that the writers have done their homework on the mythology behind their pantheon (unlike many, many other shows) are what I love. Because most shows, your good guy kills the guy that raped his wife, and this is presented as a positive thing, where as this goes with, understandable but not just and therefore wrong in the eyes of God.
Then there's the fact that these people actually resemble people, not random soundbites (why no, I'm never not going to stop being bitter about Reaper).
I am also v. annoyed that we never got to find out how the devil was going to go back on his deal. Because you knew he would, and you knew that he'd make it so it was Zeke's fault, but gah! I want details.
