Because it's a short novel there wasn't as much need to pick and choose what to feature, as necessary in a longer book.<br /><br />RH Adams as Robert Kincaid? Well now, I'd have to inspect the length of his hair and the depth of his shaman-like mysticality before I'd give the go ahead. ;-)<br /><br />I ordered the "sequel" novel <i>1000 Country Roads</i> last week - thinking about the story again got me all intrigued again. <br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-82509461854029233172012-09-02T08:43:20.554-05:002012-09-02T08:43:20.554-05:00I agree wholeheartedly that Eastwood was wrong for...I agree wholeheartedly that Eastwood was wrong for 'Bridges'. He should have stuck to directing. I felt the film was a reasonable imitation of the book, made more bearable by the skill and talent of Meryl Streep. My Robert Kincaid was not Eastwood's, though I'm not sure who I'd have cast in the part. Except, perhaps, (rather arrogantly) myself?<br /><br />;-)R J Adamshttp://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-13547506284769541212012-08-30T17:53:55.792-05:002012-08-30T17:53:55.792-05:00Vanilla Rose ~~ Hi!

I've avoided reading anything much on "50 Shades of Grey" - whenever the words erotic and sado/masochism are seen in the same sentence I think "Huh???"<br />Not for me! Erotic is fine - but that bondage sadism crap is just sick in my opinion. If someone wants to practice it or watch it, in the privacy of their home, all well and good - but as entertainment for general public consumption? I don't think so.<br /><br />Anyway, from what I gather at Wiki Grey is a young man, so James Spader is out - thank goodness, otherwise I bet he'd have been 1st choice of casting directors!<br /><br />I can't imagine Matt Bomer wanting to play that kind of part - he's the only one I recognise from those I've seen mentioned. Saw a few episodes of "White Collar" - he plays a very skilled con man, forger, thief - fits him well.<br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-82826859239211278222012-08-30T17:09:26.934-05:002012-08-30T17:09:26.934-05:00Many people are interested in who will play Christ...Many people are interested in who will play Christian Grey in the "50 Shades of Grey" film or films. I don't care as long as the actor portrays Grey as an evil slimeball, but I expect the film will try to predict Grey's unpleasant behaviour as romantic.Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-17245120251454535202012-08-29T18:35:58.427-05:002012-08-29T18:35:58.427-05:00Anonymous ~~ Hi - thanks for your input!

I did a quick Google, though, and saw that <br /><br /> ..... “it was no secret that James Clavell wanted Sean Connery or Albert Finney for the part but NBC felt an English accent among all that Japanese dialogue would be more than an American audience would put up with".<br /> <br />Re Richard Chamberlain - I always thought he was quite wrong for the part of Alexander McKeag in Centennial (one of my all-time favourite mini-series). His faux Scottish accent made me cringe! <br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-74291101184947092082012-08-29T18:15:30.434-05:002012-08-29T18:15:30.434-05:00Shogun: Dickie Chamberlain instead of Robert Shaw?...Shogun: Dickie Chamberlain instead of Robert Shaw?
