I think McDonnell could br good. Certainly, he seems a bettet fit than than Hunnam. He doesn't have Strike's 'pube' hair, though. The costume department had better get him a good wig.

What!? That's a pretty significant difference, alright. I wonder how stiff the competition was for the part of Grey?


message 53: by [deleted user] (new)

From what I've read of reviews, I don't think people's problems with the book result from prudishness.

Emma Watson might have been a good choice. What do you think of Saoirse Ronan for such a part?

I don't know. The most important casting would probably be the role of Grey, and I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. Cavil might be good.He seems to have the physical cut I'd associate with Grey.

Will you watch it when it's released?


message 56: by [deleted user] (new)

Probably not. I won't give a resounding no, but I often end up at films I'd normally avoid like the plague on dates.

Hopefully, if do end up watching it, it won't be like Twilight.

No, I sat through the opening twenty-or-so minutes with my niece, and that was enough.

About male resistance to SoG: Sex and the City was no stranger to showing flesh or sexual scenarios, but most men I know couldn't sit in the same room were it was being watched. I think this might have a similar effect.

I'd dare say it is, but the majority of women I know who enjoyed it were all fans of SatC.

My old boss, Ed, was a SatC fan. I must ask him if he's read SoG. I'd be interested to see if he enjoyed it.

Neil (charcoal_waves_at_night) Sex and the City is one of the best shows ever made. Utterly love it, even as a man. It just speaks volumes about the time and culture that surrounded it. I feel. My tactic of imput and withdraw is striking again here so apologies for just jumping into your conversation.


message 60: by [deleted user] (new)

The few times I've tried to sit in front of SatC physically hurt. I wish I was exaggerating.


message 61: by [deleted user] (new)

The characters, the storylines, the acting, the actors...

These spring to mind right off the bat, but I'm sure there's more.


message 62: by [deleted user] (new)

I believe that anything people enjoy has merit. I'll never understand its appeal, though.
