Oswalds

As a large number of my journal's visitors are or will soon be on summer vacation, I thought I'd post a link I've been sitting on for a few months.

Oswald on the Web

It's basically a Discworld casting site, where you can nominate certain actors for certain roles and then vote on the nominees. An excellent way to fritter away a couple of hours. (They're also desperately in need of people who have a broader perspective of Movieland and who won't just nominate Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman for everything.)

Personally, I think Ms Smith is much better for Granny than she was for McGonnagall... I was never terribly happy with that casting choice. But now, because of the popularity of the Potterverse, that's all anyone seems to see her as. (Whereas I forever associate her with Mrs Medlock from Secret Garden so my hypocrisy is blatant.)

And that's why Sister Act will always be a greater source of amusement that it should be: it's McGonagall as the head nun! ;)
Kicking ass as usual. Just like Mrs Medlock, and any other character the great Dame Maggie plays. :)

Ack, and now I'm obsessed with Maggie Smith. I looked her up on imdb and saw this quote: "It's true I don't tolerate fools but then they don't tolerate me, so I am spiky. Maybe that's why I'm quite good at playing spiky elderly ladies."
Well hmm Granny. ;)

Speaking of grannies... [on roles] "When you get into the granny era, you're lucky to get anything." Typical really that she called it the GRANNY era. ;)

Will shut up now!

Well, obviously, she's lobbying for the role of Ms Weatherwax! Bring it on!
