...But if she's playing a 'Sue, maybe that's a good thing?

...suspended in air. But knowing Hollywood, they'd probably be blue and script, and probably glow as well.

Actually, that sounds really Sue-ish. Maybe...maybe Words from canon writing and goodfic looks like what I first described, and Suefic Words look like the second? Hmm...

Ah, I'm rambling. Never mind.

I keep reading it as 'technically not human, still havign a metric crap-ton of elven blood in that generation, but mortal'. :)

She probably doesn't even realise he had a canonical brother.

...Or made with CGI a la Avatar (only much better plotted, of course). That way, the Agents can be tailored to whatever standards we (alright, the directors) will. But, if I had to choosea person, it would probably be a young Edward Norton to play Julius, and...well, I can't think of a good actress for Leila off the top of my head and I just did a Google image search for 'actress' and the results are 90% NSFW.

See, this is why I say CGI is the way to go.

From looking at some of his other films, he does actually seem to be a pretty decent actor cast in a horrible role, and I gather he's genuinely scared of the Twilight Fans (cannot say I blame him).
As for shiny things... come to think of it, I'd have an aversion to sparkles after doing the Twilight Saga.

No Sean Bean as Beren? :'(
Ah well, I guess that would be confusing (though not as confusing as my original fantasy of Viggo Mortensen as Beren, Liv Tyler as Luthien and Hugo Weaving as Thingol). There are other guys who'd probably be just as good in the role. Hugh Jackman, perhaps, without his Wolverine haircut.

I will not attempt to give Stephenie Meyer a quick tour of all the work she's making us poor fools do.

1093 I will not do this to Peter Jackson, either.

1094 I will not coerce Allan Poppleton into teaching OFUM students how to do Bridge to Terabithia, LotR, or Narnian stunts. Really. Or Eragon. I mean it.

Can a man be that despicable? Nah, he doesn't seem to embrace the Fanhards that much. Sean has already been in a LotR, so there goes your fantasy, I'm afraid. Anyway, does Pattinson have the drive to be a Son of Feanor? Probably not the love of all things shiny...

Kazeyama didn't need to worry about all of them, as a salad bowl with goodness-knows-what in it took one of them out, and a sugar explosive took out the other.

But it's about fanfiction, so we'd have copyright trouble if we made a real movie out of it, right? Or would it be different because it's all about the fan treatment of something published?
I kind of think that there should be something different, unrealistic, about the suefic to represent its disconnect from reality. But that would have to compare to something. HQ isn't exactly in touch with reality, either, though I guess an RC would look lived-in and messy. We'd also have to represent the strange things that happen when a scene is described wrong. I think there would be an good contrast if the agents and people not directly connected to the Sue, or a canon when the agents talk to them privately, could be shown as more real than the Sue and her immediate surroundings.
A glowing hot pink with a little bit of purple in it should work well enough as urple.
What would the Words look like?

Maelwys whooped as she wiped off her face. She reached for a nearby salt shaker and poured the whole thing into an already unappealing salad, then added some of the Kool-Aid and threw the whole bowl. She couldn't quite see who it hit- but she thought there was a satisfying thonk.

The Lay of Lethian is awesome, and that would unquestionably be my first choice if they were ever to make a film of a Silmarillion story. That might get it the recognition it deserves, if they could do it justice.

I'm now having somewhat happy thoughts of Robert Pattinson playing Curufin, and Sean Bean as Beren strangling him unconscious (even though I know it's not really fair to blame the actor).

While Aafje was testing her explosives, Airhead got lost. She crawled from table to table, hoping to see someone she knew... oh, there was that person that made the great speech! She thought it was so hilarious she couldn't resist showing her appreciation by scooping up some peas on the floor and whipping them at his face. More than one went into the non-potatoed ear.

I was mostly thinking that many of them are carbon copies of Liv-Tyler-as-Arwen, so she'd inherently look right. And she'd be Arwen as well in this case, of course.

I'd probably choose Brandon Routh as Ken. That's not to say all Kryptonians should look like Superman; it's saying that author of the Suefic Ken came from basically envisioned him as Superman with slightly different hair and eyes. Poor thing.

Grace would be Mia Wasikowska. She nailed the "dreamy blonde with untameable hair with a limited range of expression" thing in Alice in Wonderland.

I go with the general consensus that Sues should either be animated or played by Megan Fox. Angelina Jolie would probably do well as a Sue, too, as would Britney Spears...if someone could only convince her that she can't sing worth a darn.

One of the rice balls missed and hit Maelwys on the head.
"That's what you get for lurking," said Scytha viciously, in her ear communicator.

"Shuddup, I"m thinking, I'm thinking..." Mael's brain finally comprehended that thinking is not the best thing to do in a food fight is to fight with food, not think. Her inner whacko took over as her brain sulkily retreated, pondering whether no-mai could be made with this brand of sticky rice. Any lapcheung to be found? Chinese mushroom? Probably not...

Maelwys was too busy chucking half-cooked shrimp to care. And then she got hit in the face with something that exploded sugar. Oh, yeah.

... I might have nightmares about that.
It's a pretty good idea, but I'm seeing her in that outfit she wears at the beginning of the Poker Face video, making out with Legolas.

Have a wardrobe and an anti-glomping shield. You'll need it, with all the gifts...

I suppose the obvious choice for Nume is Zachary Quinto. He's the right age, but they'd have to make him look more haggard. He's a bit on the pretty side. Or maybe Thomas Gibson (Hotch on "Criminal Minds").

Possibly Matthew Gray Gubler (Spencer Reid on "Criminal Minds"--funny how that works) for Ilraen. He has the right amount of innocent geekiness (though a total madman, if you visit his website. Wow). Neil Patrick Harris might do it, too.

Jenni looks like Julia Roberts, but she's too old now. Any suggestions?

Gerard Butler would have to play Derik. No getting around that one. Fortunately, he probably wouldn't be required to sing. However, he does well as a sword- (or sledgehammer-) toting action hero.

No idea whatsoever for Earwig. Possibly a child actor with greater than average maturity? Thoughts?

Also, Barid and I have cast Liam Neeson as the Sunflower Official, Patrick Stewart as the Marquis de Sod, and Judi Dench as the Sub Rosa. We're not sure what to do with Morgan Freeman, but he needs to be there somewhere. Maybe Captain Dandy?

"SUGAR!" yelled Airhead. And she had been worried she would get the proper caffeine here!

Aafje would have told her to stay on task, but she was more occupied with a way to put pure sugar in a package that would explode when meeting the target

But that doesn't mean they can't hit hard!

*smack*
"Aafje, do you recognize that guy?"
*smack*
"No."
"..." *duck* "good."
"What are you-" *smack* "hiding?"
"I think Khazad Dym-"
"Oh, great-"

Does soup make a smacking sound if it flies fast enough?

SQUEE!!!
"Airhead... you're blue, not cherry anymore."
"I know, I love it!" *smack*
"Oy... I'm not taking that from you, little miz Lego-"
*smack*
"Shut up and-"
*smack*
"I did, you-"
*smack*
"Is this even food?"
*smack smack*

BUT I'LL SETTLE FOR A CHUNK OF FROZEN DUMPLINGS INSTEAD! YARRGH!!!
