the body in the library...

May 29, 2006 15:48

I just watched The Body in the Library with JackDav. He's playing a wonderful character, snobbish and permanently annoyed. A perfect bastard, really, but I love him OMG. *squee* I nearly fell off my chair when he was interviewing the girl scouts and suddenly stammering and clearing his throat. *LOL* SO DAMN CUTE. *wants him*

That's how JackDav's character looked after a girl scout was flirting with him instead of giving him the answers he needed. )

He really was adorable. :D I could squish him! Even when he was playing the bastard. *LOL* There's something in his annoyed glare that makes me want to cuddle him.

Oooh... This Life. *wants SO MUCH*

Yeee! *bounces happily* I suppose I'll have to pick it up at the post office when I return. My packages arrive in Augsburg and I'm in Hof (300 kms away) during the week.

Oh yes! Muddy and scruffy. I really hope that's not Sophie he's wearing (his original wig from the first movie). I really like her and I'd hate to see her so... destroyed. *sniffle*

Maybe they changed it *because* people know the book? To surprise even those that have read it?
I guess Simon Callow would have refused to participate had he thought the concept homophobic; and at least they gave the women a chance to show they really loved each other.
- I have to admit that I wouldn´t have minded a kiss between Harper and Gaskell either, though... ;)

Good point!

Well, the original concept isn't homophobic at all, as there is no hint of a f/f relationship... Maybe Callow requested it? I'm still looking for a possible explanation for the fact that they changed the plot. It must have a reason!

That scene at the end really was lovely, I must admit that. *nodnod*

Oh, be still, my fangirlish heart!! *almost collapses from mental image*

Oh, I´m sorry, by "original concept", I meant the screenplay, not the novel (when will I ever learn to express myself correctly, *sigh*). Surely Callow must have seen it (including the lesbian murderers) before he signed up for the part?

And yes, that scene was great. *And* I may have had the one or the other naughty thought about Tara Fitzgerald (because OMG, what a voice...!).

As for the fangirlish heart, I know perfectly well what you mean... I must have imagined him with just about any attractive human being of either sex on this planet... Very helpful on a cold day or to keep you busy on long train journeys. ;D

No worries! I understood it now! I'm no native speaker and sometimes I get things mixed up. *hides*

Very true. I suppose he had no problem with it, then. Though I wonder if he has read the book before.

Mmmhyes. Though I have to admit that I was distracted by Jack Davenport's 'hello bedroom voice' most of the time. *blushes*

OH YES. He's quite the slut in my head. :D

Hmmm they have this at netflix. I might rent it when I have time. Jack's part must be really small. It never showed up when I searched his name, but it did when I searched for the title.

Oh, it's not that small! You see him quite often! And he says the most wonderful things. :D
