& take a look at yourself and then make a change
for the You Spin Me Right-Round, Baby challenge at gleek_land
Compared to what I did for a genderswap picspam the last time, you'd argue this one is hardly different. In fact, the similarities are a bit OTT of obvious. This time, I wanted to do three very specific things:
I. do a completely new character and picspam {Coach Sylvester}
II. redo a previous character {Jesse St. James}
III. redux a previous one {Quinn Fabray}.
And then, one day, when you least suspect it, Quinn Fabray will seduce Jessie St. James even though Coach Sylvester told him to only just "befriend her." And I will write fic on the subject.
This is the part where I talk about my choices. It's hidden under the graphic so that now that you've seen the main attraction, you can hit the BACK button ;P
Christoph Waltz as Sue Sylvester is a total no-brainer if you think about his recent spate of movies: Inglourious Basterds, Carnage. Sue is three things: determined, ridiculous and dangerous. Yes, dangerous, because if you really think about it, nothing that goes on in the Cheerios is legal, let alone ethical: flamethrowers, exploding bras, shooting girls from cannons, stilts, and that godawful diet.
Waltz has shown us all three in Basterds alone with SS Colonel Hans Landa: single-minded, unwavering, and terrifying Jew hunter, with a bit of the ridiculous thrown in ("As you Americans say, that's a bingo!")
Plus, he smokes pipes. And Sue has a pipe. 'Nuff said.
And basically Kristy and I rewatched that movie this weekend and you have eyeteemonkeyto blame for it.
Gaspard Ulliel as Quinn Fabray is not because I am in love with this boy seriously, if he had been cast as Edward Cullen after all, he would have saved even Twilight or because I am having a total love affair with France right now hello, Arsene Wenger and Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny.
As an acting recast, he'd be perfect because he has that special Dianna Agron-esque skill of being a charmer irl and a cunning bastard on screen. And given Quinn's stint in Not Without My Daughter, Ulliel has the chops to pull off gritty post-natal madness as opposed to making it look like bumbling teenagerdom.
Plus, he smokes like a chimney.
Michelle Trachtenberg as Jesse St. James is because I'm tired of the Leighton Meester* casting. No, I'm not putting Trachtenberg to replace the Gossip Girl connection. Rather, the point is fair skin and dark hair, and the tendency to be a ditzy vamp of a villain.
*Blair dating Jesse in some crossover? Perfect ship- as perfect as perfection can get. Transplanting Blair as Jesse? Doesn't work. Blair Waldorf schemes on a higher intellectual plane than Jesse St. James, people. He's the method actor con man heartbreaker. Even their levels of grit/determination are totally different, and while Blair is capable of the malice required to egg someone, A. She wouldn't do something as crude as egg them herself B. She wouldn't do it to someone she was in love with. So enough with the superficial stereotype. And no, this wasn't personally directed at you, but just something that I needed to say.
