When I vid, I tend to post a lot, waiting for things to render. I'll try not to get too spammy.

(via tzikeh) Ok, so most of us have probably heard they scrapped the US Life On Mars pilot and are re-filming it. (Can I just say yay? That first pilot promo was painful.) It's now set in New York (because that's so original), and have recast Gene Hunt. Instead of Colm Meaney, he'll apparently be played by Harvey Keitel. This definitely would not be my first choice for Hunt, but I do like him better for the role than Meaney. I doubt that that same slashy vibe the original had will carry over regardless. But that's ok! I just want this to be...well, good. (Confession: I have slashed a Keitel role once, and that was Reservoir Dogs. Because Mr. White & Mr. Orange definitely had a vibe going on there. I think I blame Tim Roth.)
