Harry Potter and a toilet guide to Cuba

[martinemonster]

I'm nearly done tagging my old lj posts, and I came over this post here that you guys have to read: A complete toilet guide to Cuba I think it's funny!

On a different note, I just read a disturbing piece of news:

"The truth is that it would be very hard to recast, because Daniel is so famous in the role and is adored by the fans. But if his new image is seen to be at odds with the franchise, then the whole issue would have to be looked at...I guess we always knew that Harry and Daniel would have to grow up, but we hadn't bargained on full-frontal sex scenes. Nor, one imagines, had the star's millions of young fans."

cut from this Daily mail article.

I can't believe they're even considering replacing him in the last two movies. That would be sucky! Just because he's decided to play naked in one movie and a play this year. I mean, come on, it's not like it'd destroy the "Harry Potter" character that Daniel Radcliffe is all butch and manly. He can still pull off "Just Harry", I'm sure. Stupid WB afraid of the little kiddies. Most of the fans are rejoicing, I tell you! (Or at least I am). Points, views, discussion? Do you guys think they'll seriously consider changing actors for Harry?

Psah. that's just silly. Now, - i've told them from the beginning (as if my opinion mattered) that starting to make the films so early in JKs writing process obviously was more of a mean to make money, than a way to give the films the attention and quality they could and should have had. They should have made the first film now, this year, so that a) jk could have had some more time to write the last books. and b) they could let the actors age with the characters.

And i seriously doubt this would happen. They were going to get rid of tom felton for the third film, apparantly because he was going to go fishing or something, - but that never happened, did it? or.. i bet he went fishing, but he also took part in the last films.

And some nudity never hurt anybody.

...

Do they even KNOW of the millions and millions of fanfics written practically every day about Ptter-chars and their appearantly very..strange...sexlives?

I betcha all these people don't mind in the slightest that ickle harrykins does nudity.

*relearning how to breathe to keep from trying to rip WB to pieces* Good point. There's always rumour like these, but this was a quote from a WB representative. Only reason I could see for why one should change actors for a part is if the actor died. So there.

But they have let the actors age with the characters...and I'm happy they started making the movies when they did, otherwise I'd probably never have started reading HP at all...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Of course not! Why should I care? I don't care! Gah! Also, I don't see how they'd have much trouble clothing and fixing him up so he looks like a 16 year old boy just cause he's got muscles...

*points to icon* See, I wouldn't mind if he barebacked Tom Felton between sets and the papers found out and printed pictures. I just don't want to see another actor trying, and failing, to be harry potter.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Porny icon by the way. Where did that come from? Even I usually refrain from using only a tit as an icon (disguising it as art or at least adding a face to the mix).

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

uh, i started to write an entry about my body (again, - i often do that) but the ended up image-googling "breast" instead (dno't do it, you will see things you don't want to see)

So this is my "anything that's body related"-icon. yeah. And potter was naked.

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

they have done it to some extent. not completely. There hasn't been a full film a year.

And i think the "felton is leaving" thing was officialish too.

They can't replace him. People would murder them.

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

and uh. you have mr orgasm face there who has man tits. that's vulgar, that it is.

Tagging. I tag and tag and tag, and I've only reached 12/5 2004. What do to. I won't ever finish this process.

[cheewen.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'd rather like it if there was pictures of that.

Well, they did catch an unreasonable (in my opinion) amount of flack when they cast Clémence Poésy as Fleur because she'd been naked in a French film prior to being in The Goblet of Fire. Why did they catch so much flack? Because far, far, far too many Americans are afraid of teh bewbs. And that pales in comparison to how freaked out they are by teh wang.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Ah, then I understand. Though it might need some explaining... Or maybe I'm just dense.

I'd do it, (you know, saying "don't do that" is like waving a red flag) but the being at work thing sorta stops me from looking at breasts. ;)

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I know I do, but that's why I said that I'd added a face...see, not just man tits, man tits with an orgasm face. *walks away from the lame excuse. No sudden movements now, maybe she won't notice*

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Point...*mind drifting, images in head much more fun than the real world office building*

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Huh? That is so weird! I didn't even know that ms Poesy had ever been naked on screen. Oh well, guess it's just not that big a deal in Norway. But come on, it's an artsy play as well as a classic. So what if he's naked?

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter. There are far, far, FAR too many uptight prudes with lots of money and big voices in the states. Remember, we're a country founded by folks who were too uptight for Europe.

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

oh, trust me. you just really don't want to. It's like googling veneric diseases!

my arm hurts when i use the mouse.

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

he looks liek he's masturbating, or receiving buttsex.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Arg! Oh well, you can keep your crazy prudes. I thought Norway was bad... but you don't get to mess with my Potter! Do you hear me?! ;)

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Iiik...I'm off to band practice even though I'm too tired to stand. But it'll be alright I guess... :/

You be careful with that arm! *looks at you sternly* No more extra hours for you!

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Are you sure I can't send you some? Just a few? Please???

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

uh. extra hours today, or eelse i would be home now

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I know! Which is why I love that screen cap. Actually, it's a shape changer shedding its skin, and the rest of the scene is so oogie that I had to stop watching parts of it, so cudos to the person brave enough to watch it so closely that she could get the one screen shot where he looks like he's having sex and not like he's dying. I thought it was manipulated first...

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

*laughing* Oh, I'm sure. I have enough as it is here...really couldn't take any more...maybe we could exchange some? You can get the crazies making I-hate-muslims-web pages, and I could get, I don't know, a lawn mower?

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Hah! So busted! Go home and rest! Not your mommy, but you don't want to get loads of pain in your arms do you? Yoga was great btw. Will post about it tomorrow.

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

gjør det gjør det gjennomfør det

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Nono, I'm offering you the Jerry Falwell/Fred Phelps two-for-one combo pack! In return, we'll take um... I dunno, a couple of the I-hate-muslims-web page maker guys.

[akselwestlund.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetheart. I now have to claw my brain out.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...I'll have to think about it. Trading one evil for another...It might be worth it.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

lol (yes, I know it's an abomination to the english language, but since I actually started laughing, I guessed it would be appropriate).

Well, you know, I'm here to please...

I suppose I can understand where the producers are coming from considering that most young children do not even differentiate between Harry Potter and Daniel Radcliffe anymore--he's just "Harry" to them.

But then again, why are they worried about little kids seeing Daniel Radcliffe in a full-frontal sex scene? I mean--LITTLE KIDS--PARENTS DON'T LET THEM SEE THAT--and the ones that do, well...I don't think they'd really care either way. *shudders* Personally I say that the only excuse for a recast is if someone dies. *cough* Richard Harris *cough* And that is only in extreme situations.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

And besides, that would just give the two last movies bad publicity...I mean, DanRad is Harry Potter whether the studio, or he for that matter, likes it or not.

[dream20.livejournal.com]

Just as all the characters are now affiliated with their retrospective actors. I saw a clip from the movie "Driving Lessons" with Rupert Grint and I seriously had to do a double take and for a brief moment I thought to myself: "Why isn't that car flying?!" ^^;;

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

lol! Amazing! But yeah, I know what you mean.

I'm intensly good at doing that, that is, I do it all the time. Lately I've been watching Dark Angel and I keep crying out: "Hey, that's this character from BSG, oh, and there's this other character from BSG"...
