Perfect Casting, part 2

[Me Grimlock King]

Yeah, it was actually pretty good.  I'll see the next one, got a long list of movies i need to see still...thor, x-men, the other harry, green lantern, green hornet, gotta get ta watching.

I saw Thor and the X-Men.  Thor's a great popcorn movie.
X-men is another great popcorn movie though you do have some stuff to think about.

[Me Grimlock King]

nice, Green Lantern and X-men are playing at the drive in around me, I want to go.  That would be sick

[Snowleopard]

That does sound like fun.  On top of which it's a drive in - way cool.
I want to see Green Lantern.

If you saw X-Men and Thor and liked them Green Lantern is on the same level of fun.  The movie I'm behind on right now is Super 8

[Snowleopard]

I saw it.  Don't know whether you want my opinion or not.

[Warden John Marcone]

I do.

[Snowleopard]

Hey WJM, long time no see.  We're being Warner Bros. for you all week.
As for review of Super8.  I'll put it in spoilers just in case.

It's interesting.  I didn't find it as much fun or as riveting as Thor or X-Men.
The Train crash is pretty stupendous but left me wondering if Michael Bey was directing that
section of the film.  The kids act like kids but some of what they get up to seems a bit much.
Like running around in the midst of a battle.  A writer friend called it derivative.
The military villain is fairly stereotypical.  The monster kinda looks like the monsters from Falling Skies.
Maybe that look is in right now.   I got taken to a screening.  If you can - don't pay
full price.  It left me - not satisfied.  Not dissatisfied just not satisfied.

I hope that helps.

Harry and Thomas dont really look alike. when described in Changes, they have same jawline, and thats about it. And Im a dude, so Im not factoring in best looking, Im factoring in acting ability and who looks the closest to my mental image. Tall and kinda gaunt. long features basically. and I go by the movies Ive seen them in to determine if they could fit the role. Garret Hedlund matches for me.

No matter what... I will always vote Matt Bomer for Thomas.

I know he fits because when I first picked up Changes and read the scene where Thomas shows up for the first time, I just about squeed cause my mental imagery showed me Matt Bomer walking out dressed in the character desc. It was like the perfect scene and very vivid. It just clicked. I had to stop reading long enough to just soak it in. I tend to read books and it's like I"m watching tv. I see it all so vividly and Matt just fit.

Why picture Thomas' first appearance in Changes when you can picture his first appearance ever?  Who will photoshop butterfly wings onto these photos of Matt Bomer in a loincloth?

Speaking of Xmen, having seen the First Class, Im starting to think that Michael Fassbender (who played magneto) could make a damn good Harry.   I haven't seen him in anything else to judge his acting range, but visually I think he has the look.

Funny, i Actually suggested him as Thomas based on his rippedness, and long hair in 300.  I actually picture him as thomas when i read.  I picture Valerie Cruz (from the show) as Murphy just because i thought she was great at it.


Disclaimer Edit:  *Assuming the rippedness in 300 wasn't CGI*

[Quantus]

For Harry he's got the strong but lanky build, and can look a bit rough around the edges when needed.  Cleaned up he could probably look the thomas part, but Im still thinking Matt Bomer has the pretty boy thing working a bit more

[CHAR2056]

I know she's a little to tall at 5'-4" but my favoite actress for Murphy is Sarah Carter.

Just watched DOA (Dead or Alive) again and the scene where she fights 20 people on the stairs just screams the fight at CI.

The scene I'm talking about starts at 2:15 in the above clip.

Fixed the second link.

[Me Grimlock King]

Ahh that makes more sense than the link you posted the first time!  Yeah she looks like she could fit the part.  be interesting to see what she could do with a less cheesy fight choreographer
