As I've been watching Community, I've been reading the AV Club write-ups, and I almost hurt myself laughing at this line in the comments: "I guess cartoon bandits are not positive cereal role models." Therefore, "cartoon bandits are not positive cereal role models" is my new LJ name

With comics characters I often picture them as they are drawn by specific artists e.g. Tim in my head looks like he is drawn by Marcus To but as Robin he looks like he is drawn by Todd Nauck.
Interesting. That Tim is very pretty as well.

I liked Christian's gravelly voice. :-P Even Michael Keaton had that quality to his voice when he played Batman. George tried, but was...less successful.
You know, when I do see scenes playing out in my head, movie-like, I never really see the features of the characters. I might see hair color or even clothes, but the faces are never distinct. Which is kind of weird considering I can see expressions, or maybe it's just that I know "Sirius would be frowning, his lips in a bit of a pout here" or "Remus' eyes would go wide, and his mouth would gape slightly" but I don't actually see it, if that makes sense. (And I've never pictured either Remus or Sirius as David and Gary in my head. Ever. Even though I like them in the movies ( ... )

Yes, this! I can do silhouettes or body language or hair color, but the faces are never there in the same way. I think that's why whenever I write fic it's in a movie fandom, where I can be sure I know what the characters look like.

I liked it in the first movie, when he didn't use it all the time. I thought he went overboard with it in the second movie.

Yes! That's exactly how it works for me on the occasions when I can see, or when I force myself to visualize, the actions. Even with characters where I know what they look like (i.e., they're played by actors), I still don't really see the faces. Weird.
Finding the right words and flow to convey it all without distracting from the dialogue is what's hard!*nod nod ( ... )

Very interesting about you and voices. But don't you "see" extreme action with your mind's eye? Frodo at the Cracks of Doom, Dobby saving Harry et al?

Exactly. I mean, sometimes, you totally have to laugh at him, but not as much as that stupid gravelly voice makes you.

Not really, not while I'm reading. If I think hard about it afterwards or on the reread I might.
