You're probably all gonna say "Oh no, not THIS again" as soon as you see it, but got a couple ideas that I'd like to bounce off folks, and it seems nobody's reading "Part 2" anymore, where I originally posted 'em.  Since I missed out on the fun I'll try to resurrect it somewhat.

My recommendation for Thomas Raith is Michael Wincott--as he appeared in the first "Crow" movie.  Didn't see anyone else make this choice, but I'm not trying to be "different"--I voted with the majority in casting Nathan Fillion (in elevator shoes) as Harry.  It's just that's how I've always pictured Thomas from the very beginning.  Thomas is not just "pretty", he's dangerous.

Same goes for my choice of Robert Loggia (as he appeared as the General in "Independence Day") as Baron John Marcone.  Always pictured him in that role.  Imagine him sitting at a table in Burger King with his fingers steepled while he listens to Harry lip off...

This "automatic" visualization of certain characters has caused problems for me, too--I simply CAN'T help but picture the Naagloshii as Jim Carey in yellow "grinch" makeup and claws!  No matter how hard I try.  I KNOW the Naagloshii is terrifyingly evil, but whenever I think of him I see the image of a yellow Jim Carey/Grinch.  Can't get it out of my head!

Hmmm...guess "perfect soundtrack" would fit in here as well (mentioned this in another post to Dina):

If they ever make a movie out of "Dead Beat", the PERFECT soundtrack for Suzannasaurus Rex's last ride would be the last approx. 25 seconds of Mastodon's "Siberian Divide" (from "Blood Mountain").  Listen to it an tell me you don't agree!

MaSalaam,

Bilal
