{picspam} genderswap: never let me go

[aragons]

OH GOD THIS IS FINALLY DONE. This is the product of a great deal of procrastination and, obviously, Vickie's request that I tackle this. I think I'e apologised about a million times already but I feel it's worth re-iterating for a final time: I am not what one would call a proficent (or efficient) user of Photoshop. So let's just leave the

The Jamie Bell casting is entirely down to that lust so I'd say it's served us pretty well. REALLY THOUGH I WAS IMAGINING THE VOICEOVER AS I REWATCHED PARTS OF THE FILM AND SO MANY HEARTCLUTCHY FEELINGS. I haven't actually seen Hallam Foe (for shame) but the first cap at the top is from it and well, let's guess what I'm going to be doing later this week. Too many filmographies, not enough time. also he can have this kind of low-level hostility going on that I think would be interesting in Kathy.
EXACTLY. I think he would just bring some really interesting dynamics to the role.

Lol the Ruth as Tommy thing was so confusing when saving these files. FOREST SCENE, SCENE OF MY HEART STILL GIVES ME ALL THE FEELINGS. The problem with having done this now is that I really really want to see my version made because a) I'm a narcissist but b) I have all these ideas about what the genderswapping does to the role and how that might bring to the fore things that were ignored or highlight things really differently. BENEDICT AND SALLY SHOULD WORK TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW IN WHAT BUT SOMETHING. In my heart I'm thinking he could have been a brilliant Wentworth and now I'm mourning what could have been.

I hadn't! It's really fascinating though. I'm still so surprised at how this film has completely fallen through the cracks because, at the very least, it should have garnered attention simply for the performances which are stunning and the more I rewatch, the more I love the cinematography of the film too. Back to the article, I love the point he drew out of these character's lack of action and their refusal to overthrow the system because I think that is what it's about, it's about indoctrination but more importantly, that sad sense of resignation to your lot in life. IDK, IDK, my feelings in this film are all mixed up in performance rather than respect for the source material. Things we know.

SCOTTISH ACCENTS, EVEN MORE SOLD. Augh, I keep thinking about him doing and he would be Northern because that is so entirely necessary to me even if it fucks with continuity/slash let's just make them all Northeners to satisfy my soul. I SAW THAT CLIP. THAT CLIP IS WHAT INSPIRED MY CASTING. I so entirely do not care for anything else in this adaptation apart from Jamie, Imogen and Holliday.

ALL OF THIS. AUGH SOPHIE THIS GENDERSWAP IS ONLY CAUSING ME TO THINK WISTFULLY ABOUT MORE ADAPTATIONS. ALSO REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO WRITE GENDERSWAPPED FIC AND I'VE NOT EVEN FINISHED MY ORIGINAL KATHY/RUTH PORN YET.

Harry Lloyd's in it? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT.

THIS IS SUCH A PLAN. I mean knowing me I will probably write genderswapped Ruth/Kathy porn at some point because I have no self control.

Lol Sophie, I have already thought of this.
Ruth = Rupert even if all i hear is "just call me 'the bear'"
Tommy = Thomasina, so Tommy for short
Kathy = Kit

Hahaha is he? These are things I can look forward to.

SOPHIE I APPROVE OF ALL OF THESE DECISIONS. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY INVOLVE CLONES HAVING SAD THREESOMES IN OLD COTTAGES.
