I just read a great book with the ideal role for Nathan Fillion.

Dirty Sweet by John McFetridge is a crime novel set in Toronto about Russian mobsters, bikers, internet porn and real estate scams. The main guy, Vince Fournier, runs an internet porn site. He is the epitome of laid-back cool.

Our boy would do a great job in the movie and it would be a departure from his funny hick parts.

Sorry foreskin, I don't really put much time into thinking about you. Why start? You threw a dart. What you are is a troll that hides behind other trolls. So no one knows you are a troll. Or are you the troll slayer? Well hair extensions on me.

PS what the hell are photies? Is that what sissies call photos? Well, are you wearing booties?

On Topic: I'd rather see him as Mal.. in a sequel if it's all the same to everyone.

Although he is very capable of being the cool calculating ( shiveringly scary too!) bad guy. He was awesome as Caleb in Buffy.

A romantic comedy would be very nice thank you.
Our Cappy kissin' someone ( I said someone ) is a very nice thought.

Maybe the prescribed "someone" could wear a bag over their heads. I get the feeling too many of us female 'coats would be too busy imagining it was us.

eep! Let it never be said that the bun is a
cradle-robber! Not that I wouldn't want to
take him on my (figurative) lap and teach him
some manners (NAs know about That Photo), feed
him low-calorie sweets, and read him his
cues.

I want to see him do more Mal.

I want to see him in a romantic comedy.
(Yes, Waitress, still Waiting for release)

The character mentioned above might show more
of his range, but I haven't read the book
and nobody can guess what a script would look
like, or how it would play. Has the author's
previous work (if any) been adapted for film?

The basic idea is intriguing. But is there
action? Is there love interest? Does Fournier
get to be a bad guy? (Discounting what he
does already)

Or do we all just get the book and read it,
casting Nathan in the part?

bun, drawing a line...

Ooooh Bun! I like to do that already ... I sometimes read books with a cast in mind, even if it hasn't been made into a film yet... I have cast Mr Fillion as a couple of bad guys after seeing Caleb... and then when I meet him (one day) I will get him to call me a 'dirty girl'... sorry off topic...

I'm reading a Kay Scarpetta novel by Patricia Cornwell and I keep thinking of Nandi as Kay...

Also just re-read Pride and Prejudice and cast (don't laugh) Adam as Mr Darcy and Sean as Mr Bingly but I managed to get them muddled up and they kind of became an Adam/Sean type of Mr Darcy... ??? I can do that you know - it's not a film ... it's imagination!!

Anyhoo... err... what were we talking about?

Uh - can I be your bridesmaid FMF

I don't do it on purpose, but sometimes books
seem to cast themselves while I am reading
them. Possibly (in a current-day novel) the
author was thinking of someone while writing
and it leaks through.

If an author is really specific about looks
and so on, I construct something in my mind
and nothing much will knock it loose. Or a
character builds himself/herself. I've read
some Cornwells already but should see if I
can put Nandi in the Kay part. Could be
interesting.

Meanwhile, we must find more roles for Nathan!

Ideal role for Nathan? Hmm...

He should do some sort of indie art movie. Where he's naked. For the whole film.

I would be perfectly willling to write and direct such a movie.

Work, work, work...

Wait'll the Appreciators wake up and

You'll have a mad scramble of ladies
offering to co-star. Maybe a gentleman

I'll run the steadicam for you.
And double on costumes, since that won't
be a really big job.

Okay. Let's see the script.

I heard he's in consideration to play Indiana Jones.
I'd be so game for that.

Ai, yi, Agatsu, we've fought this one to
a standstill already.

Harrison Ford is Indy. Period.
Nathan Fillion is Mal. Ditto.

Nathan could be son of Indy,
just as Harrison could be dad of Mal.

The original roles belong to the
original actors in each case. They
are too deeply imbedded in our little
fan-brains, going back many, many years
in the case of Indy.

Connery)

Seeing that it has already been discussed, I won't argue with you on that, but he's under consideration for the role nevertheless, so deal with it.

Yes, I'll just have to deal with it,
if it happens.
(Sacrilege! eeeeeeeeek.......)

Nice to see you back, Agatsu. You've
been missed.
Rude of me (as usual) not to have said
so last night.

In fact, my last night's post needed a
smiley

or two

to
indicate that I hadn't bared my rather
large fangs at you.

The original argument hadn't been so
much fun that we needed a re-run, but I
promise to ignore it if there is one.

REGINAROADIE

Here's a thought. Now that Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson's careers are in theoretical flames (Cruise is finished, but Gibson could possible bounce back), how about the studios, who are attempting to scale back the amount they spend on movies (a smart fiscal move if you ask me) give Nate Fillion the roles they would have normally dangled in front of Mel and Tom. And not just leads in B sci-fi movies, but legit leading actor roles.

Just a thought.

You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.

That's a splendid thought, reginaroadie!

Now all we need is for someone to approach 'The Man' with that thought.

Here's another one:
The Sacred Art of Stealing by Christopher Brookmyer. I dare you to read Zal Innez, the charasmatic bank robber with the intense blue eyes without seeing our BDH. He's much smarter than Mal though.

And yes, you should read these books to see if you agree. This one and Dirty Sweet are available at bookstores and many libraries.
