vid recs + asoiaf stuff

First two fanvid recs:

for Ponyo which is very cute and funny.

And a Buffy vid: Bachelorette by obsessive24 on Bjork's song which is an awesome summary of the feminist thematics of the series and a mesmerizing vid.

On the awesome westerosorting community, in the newly created westerostamping subcom, I was stamped as

& !
Fun stuff! I adore Sandor, of course, and Sarella's been a great character for the little we've seen of her so far, so I can't say I was displeased by the result ^^ Other votes I received were Arya Stark, Brynden Tully, Tyrion Lannister, and Aemon Targaryen.
Join the comm to get stamped as well, the stamping applications are AWESOME. (srsly)

So anyway, casting news for the HBO ASOIAF series are starting to really come now, and I've been pretty happy so far. Most actors picked actually fit my mental image of the characters (which was rarely the case in fans' casting lists I had seen so far XD), and I'm impressed by how much most them seem to be good actors. I'm pretty happy about the guy they have for Jaime and the guy that's almost certainly for Sandor (a bit too old, though, but the guy's hot in just the right way and, yum Scottish accents ♥) Latest news is that Lena Heady appears to be (not quite official but almost certain) cast as Cersei, which LOL. Not to long ago, misstopia had picked Lena for Catelyn in the design of the stamp for westerostamping, and I was very fond of the idea, I'm sure she would have made a great Cat. So it's awfully ironical to see her picked for Cersei XDDDD of course given my love for her performance in SCC, I'm far from disappointed although I've got a hard time envisioning her as Cersei just yet (she's so... not blond. She's certainly hot enough though).
I kinda wonder how that works with the recent rumour of a SCC continuation I've seen the other day...

OH YEAH THE STAMP XD Hahaha oh man, this is going to be awkward.

Awk.ward.

*patspats* the stamps are still gorgeous and awesome and fitting. Who cares about a silly tv show that doesn't even exist yet and won't last long in this economy.

[misstopia.livejournal.com]

LOL, economic pessimism never sounded so comforting XD

Hope you like your stamps, loveweasleys04 and chisakami are responsible for the casting choices so it's mostly due to their awesome!

I've never seen Buffy so I don't get everything in the video, but it does seem really intelligent.

Bang bang, Lucky Luke, you are fast, dang!

I'd gladly apply to be stamped, but I'm barely half-way through Storm of Swords, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to apply immediately right now whatever?

Your thoughts?

(Also. Awkward stamps are the win. Heh. You couldn't know, and tbh, Lena does make a good Cat, so. *shrug*)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Honestly, no. Finish the books, then apply :)

[tomboy-typist.livejournal.com]

I concur. Hence my non-apping. The stamps look great, by the way. Whoever made them gets anonymous props.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

that would be misstopia above. And yes, she did an awesome work!

I amended my LJ post with a video of Headey and Jennifer Ehle (Cat Stark from GoT) in a scene from POSSESSION. I thought it was quite appropriate, although Cat and Cersei will probably not have quite so much sexual tension going on :-)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, I saw ^_^

Gratuitous lesbian Lena Heady scene, just because : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7dO0p-2JSw

[werthead.livejournal.com]

Hooray! :-)

They won't be casting episode two until early next year, but I have suddenly realised that there's probably going to be a lot of fan discussion over the casting of Renly and Loras as well :-)

[scriva.livejournal.com]

I have not seen SCC, but that actress is pretty hot and hair colour nonewithstanding I can see her as Cersei. She seems pretty fierce. After having seen that scene with her and Jennifer Ehle, I also have to watch Posession. ;)

[werthead.livejournal.com]

Missed that point earlier, but I've heard rumours of an SCC continuation elsewhere as well. I thought they were only considering a straight-to-DVD movie? Headey on GoT and Summer Glau becoming a regular on DOLLHOUSE would seem to eliminate any chance of it being relaunched as a regular series.

Hahaah I'm glad to see the Sandor stamp, as I called that like a year ago. XD
