Do you know if the animated one is any good, the one currently on Netflix Instant.

No clue, anime doesn't do it for me.

Gankutsuou? Merla (a Monte Cristo fan, I should add) and I loved it. Has its deviations of course but was more faithful to the story than the Depardieu live-action one, that's for sure. Is was also pretty to look at it.

I fucking love Gerard Depardieu. Did anyone see Camille?

B E C K · « **Reply #124 on:** Feb 21, 2010, 06:00:14 PM »

Nope.

Depardieu is a great actor, but that nose of his is distracting. It looks like he'd use it to root in the dirt for truffles or something. Prime candidate for a nose job if I ever saw it.

And I'm not surprised over the 4 part miniseries being all romantic and crap... it's France, everything has to be about love or sex over there....

That's not true. They take time out of love and sex to drink and surrender.

Those weren't really the major problems with it. I had no issue with them wanting to focus on the more romantic aspects of a body of work, but adding in some non-existent character to that end and changing the ending is a no-no.

Anyway, yeah, his nose is huge. Judging by his earlier work, it apparently bloated with age.

his son was hot, rip

B E C K · « **Reply #129 on:** Feb 26, 2010, 12:54:38 AM »

Oh yeah, that was a shame. Saw him in Monte Cristo, thought "what a waste".

His casting as Cyrano de Bergerac was either utterly inspired or blatantly obvious. Whichever, he was nominated for an Academy Award for his work as the titular character.

Nowadays its all about the looks, come on. Do you think Daniel Radcliffe got chosen as HP for being a good actor? or that bitch from Twilight?? If it comes from a book, looks will have the upper hand

Fiero · « **Reply #132 on:** Mar 01, 2010, 03:29:06 PM »

But Daniel Radcliffe is a decent (not amazing) actor.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #133 on:** Mar 01, 2010, 03:47:28 PM »

Now he is, but when he started as HP he didn't even know how to act

Fiero · « **Reply #134 on:** Mar 02, 2010, 09:51:45 AM »

They picked him because he looked almost exactly like the book cover illustrations. It was uncanny.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #135 on:** Mar 02, 2010, 03:04:52 PM »

Obviously, that was the point of my previous post. If its about a book, they'll try to choose whoever looks the closest to the character.

Fiero · « **Reply #136 on:** Mar 02, 2010, 06:56:49 PM »

But not because he was "pretty" because he was "accurate."

B E C K · « **Reply #137 on:** Mar 02, 2010, 10:25:52 PM »

Yeah, there's a difference there.

Same thing bro, its all based on the looks.
ps: true, i dont think Daniel Radcliffe is hawt at ALL. he looks like a future pervert

Fiero · « **Reply #139 on:** Mar 03, 2010, 03:01:15 PM »

It is an important distinction. Finding someone who looks correct for the part AND can act is damn near impossible. Finding someone who is pretty is pretty easy.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #140 on:** Mar 04, 2010, 03:02:11 PM »

but you can always just find someone that looks exactly like the character and teach him how to act.

Fiero · « **Reply #141 on:** Mar 04, 2010, 03:28:23 PM »

You might be able to, but not always. See Beck's sticky at the top of the forum.

EDIT: Wait, I am sorry, they are just being lazy.

Just a casual mention on the website.

Eight teenage boys suffered gunshot wounds late Friday night while exiting a popular Gary skating rink where they were attending a concert.
Gary Police Cpl. Gabrielle King said Saturday "all chaos broke loose" when a fight broke out during the event and security advised attendees to leave Skate World, 4415 W. 5th Ave. in the Commons shopping center.

King said no arrests have been made.

One of the victims told police he was shot in the stomach by a male black holding a rifle. He said the man was wearing a red hat and had dreadlocks.

The wounded were transported to Methodist Hospitals Northlake in Gary, St. Catherine's Hospital in East Chicago and St. Margaret Mercy in Hammond.

Another victim said he was with a group of friends and they were asked to leave to avoid a fight with a group of males he didn't know. He said the suspects confronted him in the parking lot and someone started shooting. The teen suffered a gunshot wound to his left leg and was taken to St. Margaret.

Another victim told police he was inside Skate World and the crowd became disorderly. Security told the crowd to exit and when he stepped outside, he was shot in the left leg.

Police identified the wounded as: Shaquille Hughes, 15, shot in right side; Marcus Ratliff,14, shot in right wrist; Justin Bodley, 16, shot in the leg; Junan Washington, 18, shot in left ankle; DaVonte Biddings, 16, shot once in< back; Marquel Croock, 16, shot in stomach;Kesean Philon, 14,shot in leftleg; Stephan Danzy, 17, shot in left leg.

Gary police are still investigating the incident.

Shaquille? his name is shaquille? LOL I think we all know the ethnicities of this gentlemen. Not being racist or anything but some names just fall right into the stereotype. Like Juana or Maria

Derrick · « **Reply #144 on:** Mar 08, 2010, 04:58:51 PM »

Plus, who opens fire at a concert of any other ethnicity?
