I thought we established that Tom Cruise can't touch this movie?  ;)

We did. Apparently GW needs a refresher every now and then.

NO TOM CRUISE. NO TOM CRUISE. NO TOM CRUISE.

Just repeat this to yourself every time you're about to make this suggestion, GW. We let him near this movie, he's gonna take over it and start making "suggestions". Harry Dresden the Wizard will end up turning into a magical version of Ethan whatshisface from Mission Impossible.

But Thomas isn't really on the prowl all  the time though

It doesn't matter if Thomas is always on the prowl, or never on the prowl. It has nothing to do with what his thoughts are -- it's his entire being. It's what makes him a vampire of the White Court, an incubus. The demon inside him resonates through every inch of Thomas' body, and everyone within a ten foot radius of Thomas will react to it, whether he's hunting them or not. You've read some of Harry's descriptions of what happens when Thomas walks in front of people when he isn't paying attention -- men, women, they all turn around and watch him, and follow him with their eyes. Thomas could be completely lost in his own thoughts and have a parade of people walking behind him because he can't even have a shot to turn down the "come hither, and make with the go-thither" (to borrow a turn of phrase from Harry).

Snowleopard and Hatshep are smack on the money with the term "predatory angel." Thomas is supposed to be so utterly divine in his looks and aura that only people who know what he is would be aware of themselves enough to back off. And in my eyes, Ryan Reynolds, though awesomely sexy, cannot pull it off.

Also, it's not just a matter of finding someone with the right looks to portray Thomas. In my opinion, you have to find someone who is willing to go into the same mindframe as the man. He loves life, he loves his parties, he loves Justine, he loves Harry -- he hates his father, but he's loyal to his sisters and would go to any lengths to protect them; he's a known layabout, but he's also a secret agent of the Venatori; he's vain, arrogant, charming and entirely too flippant, but he's also one of the only known White Court vampires that has known love, and feels guilt over what his Hunger can do to the people he's around.

You have to look for someone whose eyes will convey the daily circle of happiness and torture that Thomas goes through. For me, that person is Matt Bomer.

Do you suffer from SAD Hatshepsut/Tiny but Fierce?
It's a season disorder caused by the waning of the light in fall and winter.
I get bouts of it.

Re: Viggo.  Yeah, he's got the intensity for Michael but not nearly the size.
Michael is a burly kind of guy.  You look at medieval armor and while the guys might have been short they were usually pretty bulky through the chest and arms.  Comes of wielding several pounds of sharp sword.

I dunno :) Usually I'm pretty kicky during this time of the year. I enjoy it. But yesterday, I was just depressed.

Very true. Unfortunately, I can't think of anyone else besides Viggo and Nathan Fillion to fill the role.

Yes! Love, love, LOVE that discription. And I completley agree about Michael. He's my favorite character from DF and one of my favorite characters period. His casting has just got to be perfect and so far I haven't seen anybody who could begin to pull it off.

I still see Viggo Mortensen as a wonderful Michael. Purely based on how he played the character of Aragorn in the Lord of The Rings, I would lose my mind if he played Michael because he seems so perfect for the role.

Side issue -- for some reason, Charity's words from SmF kept running through my head today: "His heart. They hurt his heart." I've been kinda depressed all day :(

By the way, has anyone in the States seen the latest issue of People Magazine?

Ryan Reynolds has been named Sexiest Man Alive.

He's officially 2010's sexiest man alive.

Which means he's officially out of the running for Harry, because no one would want to see the sexiest man alive with a broken nose and two black eyes :-\

He has the size but I'm not so sure of his facial features.

RIDE, RIDE, RIDE SALLY RIDE.

I'm sorry. I saw what you changed your profile name to, and I couldn't resist.

Patrick Warburton could do it, but the problem is that everytime I hear his voice, I start hearing Joe from Family Guy, or Brock Samson from the The Venture Bros, or the Big Bad Wolf from Hoodwinked, or Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove.

I don't think I'd be able to take him seriously as Michael :(

Besides, when I think of Michael, I think of him as a soft-spoken man, like Harry is, just less sarcastic.

If you guys haven't read Aftermath from Side Jobs, Murphy's description of Harry goes along the lines of this:

"Aftermath," Side Jobs, page 352

With deference to a few lines, Murphy might as well also be talking about Michael in the early days, before SmF. He stands confident, is only a few inches shorter than Harry, with a blockier build, he meets people's gazes head on -- find some footage somewhere of a construction foreman working. You might see exactly the sort of person Michael's build coincides with. Also, as Harry is somewhere around 6'7 to 6'9, Michael could be anywhere from 6'0 to 6'5.

They would waste Spike faster than Buffy. Right away in fact.

..... Yeah.

That would be why it's AU.

That's the funny thing - its the last season side of Spike that I'm in love with. I don't know...maybe its the combination of their noble side with the danger that really does it for me. *sighs* *snaps self out of hot daydreams* That's true - Spike is such a beautifully complicated character that I can certainly see how his fans to could gravitate to either Sam or Dean equally well, depending on what about him they found most appealing.

Which is why me and my beta are in the process of creating a Buffy/SPN crossover event. Sam, Dean and Spike are almost essentially the same person, and get along very easily. It's sweet.

A Dean/Cas shipper? Oh, God. At least you're not a "Wincest" shipper. That is just even more wrong on so many more levels, if there is anything more wrong than that. And moving on. I'm decidedly a Sam girl but Dean and Castiel are awesome and oh-so-sexy, too.

It's funny - my sister started out as a Sam girl and me as a Dean girl but I fell head-over-heels for Sam after he went psycic and I found out that he

(for some reason I just found that really, really, hot) and my sister fell for Dean when he

at the end of season 2. Something has got to be wrong with us that we found that stuff extra sexy but we simply couldn't help it. I'm afraid guys with dark secrets are a major guilty pleasure for me. But I think a lot of girls are like that.  ;)

Yeah, I know. Trust me, I know.

Also, it's because you have Evil!Vampire!Spike!Love.

I have Funny!Badass!Spike!Love, which is why I'm a Dean girl.

What, no love for my Sammy?  ;D

LOL, I love Sam. Unfortunately, Jared was not being interviewed on the carpet with Jim Beaver and Misha Collins when Jensen snuck up on them both and gave them kisses on the cheek. I found this icon somewhere, and since I'm a Dean/Cas shipper (which is so wrong on so many levels but DAMMIT I LOVE IT), I hijacked it and made it mind.

Plussss, it would've been kinda awkward if Jared was in the picture WITH them O.o
