shaking my ocs in a jar rn thinking about who would play them if this was live action but i don’t know actors. this is also a post for any of my mutuals who have seen my ocs and have actors in mind to share them/nf!

it's so funny to me how crowley chose a first name AND a second name for himself while aziraphale just kept his own and then only out of need and on the spot he took the last part('s pronunciation) of said name to use it ALSO as his surname

Same lol.

Although I might add this also started for me a Micheal Sheen phase. Well technically is a phase with both of them combined, since I'm alternating between their stuff.

But instead of rewatching their stuff (except Staged, Staged it's a comfort show for me) I'm watching some more David Tennant media I missed during my first phase, and I'm watching for the first time stuff from Micheal Sheen (which it's becoming a bit irritating since he has less screen time in the shows and movies he appears in so its a bit underwhelming).

I still have a big list of things I still have to watch from Mr Tennant it's ridiculous. Still haven't watched Blackpool in all those years as an example. I think I didn't find subtitles back then and that stopped me. Might have to try again.

So it's 2023 and Good Omens 2 did what even Good Omens (2019) & Staged didn't manage: I'm back in my David Tennant phase. Hello 2006, has it been 17 years already?

Anyway, I'm sick at home and using the time to rewatch the first season of Broadchurch. And after that I'll probably watch the other two seasons I've never seen so far.

Also I haven't watched Blackpool in ages. David Tennant continually putting things in his mouth, yes please!

And then probably Much Ado About Nothing.

i can’t for the life of me tell Michael Sheen and Simon Pegg apart.

like there is a trailer for a movie? show? something? that has one of them in it with david tennant and i’m p sure its michael sheen but i dON’T KNOW.

ok i looked it up it’s a show on amazon prime and it’s micheal sheen but good god you could tell me thats simon pegg and i’d be like sure. sounds legit

ok my new cheat sheet is that simon pegg usually has facial hair.

S H I  T

i searched micheal sheen with facial hair to find this image and i honestly am not sure if that is really micheal sheen. for a really long time i thought they were the same person. but i only knew the name simon pegg. simon sheen. micheal pegg.  most actors im like oH THAT SO AND SO AND THIS IS WHAT I KNOW THEM FROM. but i’ll be watching a movie and be likE OH COOL SIMON PEGG and then go look up the movie and nope its my man sheen. or vice versa. what is this conspiracy. do my eyes have 20/20 vision eXCEPT for these two????

Also they are both about the same age AND ONLY AN INCH OFF OF THEIR HEIGHT this is going to ruin me.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: my take on casting

I watched the 2000-whatever Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie and I was so so upset on how it was produced and delivered so I’m casting my own version and adding notes on how I think it should have gone.

Zaphod- how I perceived Zaphod and how the movie producers perceived Zaphod are completely different people. I thought of Zaphod as just being so nonchalant about everything it’s choatic. Like he steals the Heart of Gold with one smooth line, and he greats Ford, his long lost cousin with just a quick few relaxed lines, and in the book he’s never as blatantly rude to Trillian as he is in the movie (slapping her on the butt, belittling her, implying she’s stupid or even thinking himself smarter than her, etc). I envisioned a super cool guy who’s repressing a lot of stuff that happened to him that was bad (the movie cut out the entire plot of Zaphod frying his own brain and his dealing with that fact, which is like the best part of his character.) So I mean, my first thought was of course the coolest of all cats, Jeff Goldblum, but I mean, he’s kinda old to play the part, especially with who I’d like to see play trillian. I don’t know anyone else, feel free to recommend.

Trillian- I HATE how they turned Trillian into another John Greene “I wanna go somewhere and do something” dreamer but conveniently mega-attractive helpless girl. Also in every single adaptation of the book she’s been portrayed as a white girl when in the book it states many times she’s middle eastern/Arabic when it comes to looks. Trillian is supposed to be smart but also empathetic, witty,independent and stable, an all-together well put together person. Also she never gets with Arthur (except she bears his child, which technically she didn’t even conceive with him and she only did it to try and save the human species and Arthur is the last male human alive), in the books which I Throughly Enjoy for reasons stated in Arthur’s thing. So for her I’d cast Jameela Jamil. Which is why I probably wouldn’t cast Jeff as Zaphod, because as handsome as Jeff is, it’d be weird to see him and Jameela together.

Ford- I thought ford was actually kinda okay in the movie but I thought he was So much better in the book. They made him too frantic and worried about everything in the movie. He’s supposed to be Zaphods twin in the sense that he’s non chalant and super calm about everything. The first thing we learn about Ford is that he’s a guy that can leap across galaxies and slip through ships and get out of sticky situations in a snap and still know where his towel is. He’s a put together, calm, cool guy, whose just like Zaphod only he has more patience and empathy, probably because of his time stuck on Earth. He’s so in the loop and cool that he finds it hard to slow things down and catch up Arthur, who has no idea what’s going on. Also should it be mentioned that Arthur and Ford are best friends! The movie made them practically hate each other! In the books ford is at most annoyed with having to constantly explain everything to Arthur, but I mean still, when he learned the world was ending his first thought was His Best Friend Arthur, so I’d like the friendship to still be relevant. So for him I’d probably cat David Tennant. Mostly because he can play a cool sci-fi character with a soft spot for sidekicks quite well.

Arthur- I love book Arthur. I hate more than anything movie Arthur. And I mean, it’s not that I don’t like Martin Freeman, really I love him. It’s just they ruined his character in the movie. Arthur is not at all the underdog who saves the day and gets the girl. He’s a blundering idiot whose the main character but has no real say or doing in what happens. Like, he does not singlehandedly save the day and become a saint or hero or leader of the team. He pulls clutch with good ideas just as much as everyone else and has the same moral high ground as everyone else. He’s part of the team and part of the family. And in the movie Arthur hates Zaphod and acts like his whole life has only happened to meet Trillian, whom he met like a month ago at most. That’s not his character. He’s lovable and disheveled and wants to contribute to the team but is too over whelmed to do so. And therefore I cast Micheal Sheen. Lovable, flustered and accidentally a genius. I love you Martin Freeman, but you’re just too angry and condescending for this role :p

I just wish all in all that they worked more of the team dynamic than they did the underdog hero. But it’s whatever. Feel free to add or make your own recommendations, I wanna hear what you guys have to say :))

I have to rewatch good omens to see if it was actually good bc the first time I was stuck on the pure aesethic genius of David tennant and micheal sheen with red and white hair respectively the whole time and I can’t remember anything from it except their looks.

Same but I guess GO isn’t a movie. And cause of course Micheal Sheen and David Tennant are exceptions.

no one wants the movie cover ever
