Ewan McGregor;

i just mentioned in my post (but didn't elaborate) an analogy between new criticism and postmodernism...the new critics believed that there was a true meaning that could be deciphered. if you then write them as gay, if you try to check inch length on poor ewan to get to Obi..there's the sense of "authenticity," of truth to it. and that's a bit troubling to me.
whereas putting JC and justin together in Munich was one of a multitude of possible scenarios, none of them closer or farther away from a truth we knew we could never reach...or sth like this :-)
but then i am not very visual and wouldn't know anyone's eyecolor if it had close ups and really could care less :-)

Authenticity is... a bit of a problem.
And somehow it rolls around to questions of canon in my head now. Like, if I know DH's shoe size, is that canon... and now I'm thinking of the fairly standard practice of making a character's age whatever the actor's age is when no other information is given. Not that there's anything unreasonable about that.
