okay, so gary oldman and tim roth


, so clearly tim roth should play remus! wouldn't that be great? i mean. love... love! it's perfect.

meanwhile someone slash them for me. cause there they were in rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead, having chemistry; and it was so poignant and sad and sweet, and now this, and they're tangled up in my mind.

p.s. do click the cut; the images are too cute for words. AHAHAH an 'explanation'

eta: omg, they've starred together before! and then at imdb.

eta: ahaha, he once starred opposite dougray scott--my pick for remus to star opposite rufus sewell!

Interestingly, on this side of the pond Roth formed an equally faithful alliance with Gary Oldman, a star with whom he shares more than a passing comparison. Both actors were raised in South London; both made a name for themselves essaying working-class, unstable men (and made their reputation playing punks); and both have excited critics on the other side of the Atlantic with flawless American accents.

They first met 11 years ago while working on Meantime. "Here was this quiet, laid-back, long-haired geezer," recalls Roth, and "after a few weeks of top-secret isolated improvization, in storms this loony skinhead drinking a pint of milk." An on-set improvization saw Oldman hurl the milk bottle at Roth, who threw it back and put Oldman into hospital. To hear Roth tell it, Gary "was really proud of the scar he got, said it suited him really nicely."

Later, the duelling duo took the title roles in the film version of Tom Stoppard's acclaimed stage play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead -- and acted co-star Richard Dreyfuss off the screen. Today, Roth is proud of his mate's success, but points out that he, Roth, made the cover of Sight and Sound first. And, he philosophizes, "I like Gary being up there. The more parts he turns down, the more are likely to come my way." -james cameron-wilson here

french should be no problem compared. i mean, i didn't even have to try to learn spanish. half of all vocabulary is cognates and you can frequently translate word for word, the grammar is so similar. i know the same is true of french. i took six years or so of spanish--and i studied japanese desultorily on and off in these once-a-week brief little lessons in high school for a year or so, and then in college freshman year and one semester of sophomore--but i didn't go to class sophomore year.

yeah, so far it hasn't been too terribly hard. i haven't really put a whole lot into it, but when i'm able to i think i'll do better. i already know quite a lot, considering the official second language is french so it's on Everything. in other words, i know most foods and things to do with school in french, but can't really hold a proper conversation (unless it's about eating, hehe.)

a few of my friends are taking japanese now. i take it freshman is first year, and sophomore is second? i'm slowly learning the american terms for these things but i still get confused.

can you speak spanish very well? i wouldn't mind learning that, after french. those two are really similar.

oh yes, freshman is first, sophomore is second. i'd think you'd know that just from movies! wow. my spanish is eh. i mean, i can converse, but... not at a fluent speed. and watching movies or tv i'll miss a lot because i can't follow it at speed. i'd call it competent.

i've heard the words many times from movies, yes, but they never bother to explain... they just say "when i was in freshman year" and expect you to know what year they mean! terribly rude, if you ask me. :)
