Intertextuality and creepiness

[kattahj]

You know, one thing that makes watching films and television more interesting is seeing known actors in new parts. This is particularly interesting if the actor is so ingrained in my mind with one part that he somehow remains that person even when he's doing a completely different character

I know. I watch that ep and I'm all "Bad decision. Bad. Very bad." *grin*

Which was one reason I loved the crossover series "Donna the Vampire Slayer" in which the two characters actually *are* the same guy.

I first ran into it when I was doing an essay on AUs some years ago. I still love it very much. :-)

Well, that multifandom slayer thing I'm working on now for fan_the_vote really brings out my inner paranoia. :-)

Are you getting anywhere with the grammar thingy, btw? I could ask someone else if you'd rather.

It was really funny, because I was watching Judging Amy and immediately went "Eugh! Don't date him!" before I even realized who the actor was. :-)
