I don't know who I would cast.. (you need a nerdy/awkward person but still can be awesome)

[Karina]

Exactly! I dont know who I would love to play simon either...I am curious about Magnus Bane...

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Magnus Bane could be played perfectly by Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) could play Camille.

[Karina]

I love both of them!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Haha what am I saying! I love them both but they don't fit the part AT ALL!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Dave Franco is my cast choice for Simon!

Is that James Franco's little brother?

Yes (of Green Goblin fame)

[Karina]

I cant see him as Simon because Ive only seen him do comedy.

I saw him in 21 jump street and he was really good.
Alec- Andrew Garfield
Jace- Chris Zylka
Clary- Emma Stone
Play our movie casting game!

[Karina]

Ive only seen him in Scrubs.
I love Andrew!! :)
uhh.. I love Emma but not as Clary
OH nice choice for Jace!

I'll give it a try but I am not good at that sort of thing.

[Michele, The bookoholic!]

we have a thread called movie casting where we try to pick actors for movies

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

I think Emma Stone is way better than Lily Collins though. I think Kristen Dunst (Mary Jane from Spiderman) would have been perfect for the movie years ago like around when spiderman came out in theaters.

[Karina]

I can picture Emma Roberts as Clary..but I dont like her acting.

Oh I would love Hayden Christensen as Jace!..If he were younger because I think now he looks to old to play a teen.

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Haha I was just thinking of Emma Roberts! Now time for Magnus casting! Btw your Magnus anecdote from a couple of posts ago rocked!!

[Karina]

I had to share it, it was funny!

He is the hardest...

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

I'm still sticking with Johnny Depp because he can be creepy, funny, and he just rocks.. Apparently people want Adam Lambert which is a pretty good choice.

[Karina]

I love Johnny!
when i was reading the book I had a hard time picturing him in my mind.

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Wan't he purple? Is Magnus related to the vampaneze or Barney?

[Karina]

HAHAHAha! I am about to re-read his description.

[Karina]

this is from the first time they meet:

"The man blocking the doorway was as tall and thin as a rail, his crown of dense black spikes. Clary guessed from the currve of his sleepy eyes and the gold tone of his evenly tanned skin that he was part Asain"

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Okay.. he doesn't need to be asian though.. I think that's not as important as his gold eyes, and purple hair.

[Karina]

He is going to be one interesting looking guy!
I got one of my friends into the series and she hates Magnus...only because he ends up with Alec lol
I feel like re-reading the series again..

Me too.. isn't that kinda homophobic?

[Karina]

Oh no she has no problem with him being gay
Alec is her favorite character and thinks he "is too good looking for Magnus"

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Okay.. I like Magnus more than Alec because Magnus is a warlock!! I mean how cool is that! *It's kind of awkward how we are the only members commenting on this thread but I dont care!*

[Karina]

Yeah Magnus is awesome! I had forgotten that story he tells Clary abut when he was a baby and his parents tried to drown him :O
Haha I noticed that too but I dont care either :)
This is my favorite series!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Haha me too.. At of all the books I have read this is my favorite series.. I will be first on line at the movie or on fandango.. I will be hyperventilating until Mayth 8th.. I'm so pissed off how Clare keeps on extending the publication date (it must be the 3rd time)

[Karina]

Yup Same here! I cant believe I almost didnt read this series! As soon as I read the first book im like "screw everyhting else, this is amazing!"
Yeah it is getting annoying.

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

May 8th is a week with less competition.. May 1st has Insurgent, Bitterblue, Deadlocked.. my schedule will be full the first 2 weeks of May

[Karina]

Oh so true. I hope my schedule is not as busy as it is right now, that way I can read all these books!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

IKR... seriously during May my teachers better get lazy.

[Karina]

Hahaha yes I hope for the same

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Do you like the infernal device or mortal instruments better?

[Karina]

hmmm..I ...GRR!

You would ask such a difficult question -_-

..okay Right now I will say MI

which do you prefer?

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Okay here's my breakdown:
ID- Clockwork Angel was good but at times I didn't like it.
Clockwork Prince- I loved every moment of it!
MI- ALL THE BOOKS ARE FREAKIN' amazing (I hate SEBASTIAN!)
I like MI better!!

[Karina]

I love the time period that ID is set in and I loved both books but I thought CP was better.
but I think I will always love MI more. Plus MI has Simon and includes Vampires, werewolves and faeries!
Yup Hate Sebastian!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

I wonder if Sebastian will be killed.. I hope so. Luke and Jocelyn should get married!!! There should be a big wedding where Jace proposes to Clary at the reception! Okay maybe not or Simon should admit he will never get over Clary.. I am hoping for a Clary/Simon relationship even though I do like Jace.. Why can't for once the nerdy guy get with the girl? I hate how the bad boys always win in every book. And that's how you rant.

[Karina]

HAHAHA Its okay rant all you want, I dont mind at all!
Well if Sebastian dies so does Jace since they are linked or whatever. I thought they were getting married!?! that would be cool but Jace doesnt seem like the type and especially since Jocelyn will probably not be happy abut that..
I feel so bad for Simon..I love that guy!
I love Jace but I know what you mean..I love nerdy guys so I just want to read at least one book were the nerdy best friend gets the girl in the end!
I mean I do like bad boys but What is wrong with the nerdy guy?! They are just as hot and awesome!

[Karina]

Oh and I wonder what will happen with Alec and Magnus..I mean they seem to be having problems because of Magnus past and as Magnus stays the same Alec will only grow older..

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Hmm.. the whole Alec and Magnus thing is so Twilight-esque.. Grr.. Alec was like Bella in New Moon only Alec is less annoying and doesn't bite his lip every 3 seconds.

[Karina]

Haha I am a lip biter so I wont say anything about that.
Never thought to compare the two but i think you might be right

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Going to the Hunger Games tonight.. I hope I don't fall asleep in class tonight!

[Karina]

You are making me jealous! I dont see it until tomorrow and i have to sit in class for 4 hours before I can see it :(

Have fun! :D

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Thanks!

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

What did you think?

[Karina]

Disappointed >:(

[Jon, The Paperback Prince]

Ik :(

[Karina]

I hope CoB doesnt disappoint as well because I will seriously cry :'(
