More randomness

[tallulahgs]

So, like, you could rewrite the Badger song with 'coffee' for badger, 'biscuits' for mushroom and 'cake' for snake. And it would be cool.

My brother has left. We spent the entire weekend watching DVDs, eating, showing each other interesting stuff on the Net, and walking to and from town. Twas cool. We also worked out, kind of, a cast list for a live-action version of Saiyuki. (This is what I do with my brother. Either that or discuss who's smarter, Yamagata or Jade Goody.)



Assuming everyone can be scaled up or down to more or less the right age...

Genjyo Sanzo - Paul Bettany or Mackenzie Crook (the latter has the incredibly bony and kind of unnerving thing going on, but we haven't seen him play serious so we don't know how that would work)
Son Goku - I put forward Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Nik said someone else who I can't remember
Sha Gojyo - Johnny Depp (Nik's idea)
Cho Hakkai - David Tennant (Okay, that one was me. And kick-started the entire discussion)

Kougaiji - Samuel L Jackson, cos he's got the whole menacing thing going on
Yaone - Zhiyi Zhang (I've probably spelt that wrong. The woman who was the lead in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and House Of Flying Daggers)
Jien - Vinnie Jones XD
Lirin - This girl in Sister Act 2 who we didn't know the name of

Ni Jianyi - Bill Nighy, or maybe Jason Isaacs

We couldn't think of anyone for Chin Yisou - or at any rate ran out of time before Nik's train came.

Had my first two lectures today. One of them is with Excitable Russian lecturer. And it's on chaos. This should be interesting ^^ (realised that second semester of second year was the only one with no Russian lecturers in it. No wonder everyone was so gloomy).

Wrote snarky letter to the TV licensing people. So there.

"Either that or discuss who's smarter, Yamagata or Jade Goody"

HAAAA.
I lol'ed so hard I fell off my chair.

And yay for snarky letters!
:D

[tallulahgs]

I'm glad I could amuse you *bows*

Yay indeed! *feels powerful*

Oh, God, that's what I do with my time .__.;
Incidentally, this reminds me, I need to get the actual Saiyuki LA off my friend. Lordy.

And I second this cake.

[tallulahgs]

Sweet, I'm not the only one :D

There's an actual Saiyuki live-action? Erm... is it traumatising?

[likeatruck.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen it, but I can imagine so ^^;

[tallulahgs]

Let me know what it's like if you ever get your hands on it o_0

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

Yamagata. Seriously, from what I remember, he's not that dreadful. Jade Goody is ... I feel quite sorry for the fact that things just don't come out of her brain.

DAVID TENNANT AS HAKKAI FOR THE AWESOME WIN! If Jason Isaacs was in it, I'd die happy, yes.

[tallulahgs]

Nik's argument is 'Yamagata is smarter because he knows he's racist.' My argument is that I bet Jade Goody couldn't co-ordinate a multi-pronged bike attack on a gang led by an evil psychic juggernaut. Yamagata's unfortunate death at the end of this is neither here nor there. The PLANNING was good.

I'm glad you agree with me! :D

Jason Isaacs might be good as Chin Yisou, actually... it's just hard imagining him not as Lucius...

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's pretty much what I'd say actually! And there is NO WAY Jade Goody could do anything like that. No freaking WAY.

I find it easy but then I've seen the Patriot ... I've never forced you into watching the Patriot have I? *eyes the List speculatively*

[tallulahgs]

So ha ha on Jade.

YES YOU DID. Don't try and seduce me into watching it again! (Remember, it was at your house. Your sister kept dropping Umbridge the turtle on me.) I dunno, though, Tavington still reminds me of Lucius.

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

I feel quite sorry for her in a way. She must be aware that she's really stupid and I just can't imagine being happy that way, espcially if you're famous and people keep saying it.

*sporfles* Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that! Totally and utterly! Shame because now I'm remembering it, it was really rather funny! And yes, Tavington is very like Lucius! :D

[tallulahgs]

Well, if all the shock-horror stories about her mother are true, she hasn't had the best life ever and I personally wouldn't like to be the butt of all the jokes. Yeah. It's... depressing really.

It was funny though :D And good, it's not just me!

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

I don't know all the shock-horror stories - care to share? I'm actually sort of interesting in a way - I've been feeling quite sorry for her lately.

Definietely not just you. :D Others have had the same thought!

[tallulahgs]

Her mother had... problems... she was an alcoholic, at times she used to beat Jade, Jade had to take care of her, there were lots of relationships including some abusive ones, and her mother let her get into taking drugs too. (According to Heat magazine and remembered from a few weeks ago.)

[tannakitten.livejournal.com]

Yamagata vs. Jade Goody. Oh god that made me laugh hard. They'd probably turn it into a contest or summat |D

...Coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee biscuits biscuits.

[tallulahgs]

Well, Yamagata's pretty belligerent and Jade isn't exactly shy and retiring so... yes. Yes they would. *gulps*

See? It works! Caaake, caaaaake, I want some caaaake....
