This should be interesting.

I do love me some blond shaggy rocker!Ewan. Oh, yes! I am definitely looking forward to this. :-D

That link doesn't work...

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Now it does! I have no idea how I screwed that up. :-P

[gryfindormia.livejournal.com]

Ooo, me likies, but in this picture he reminds me of Zsa Zsa a bit too much, hope it's only the pose.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

ZsaZsa? Really? *scratches head*

[gryfindormia.livejournal.com]

I dunno, perhaps it's just me. I'm just seeeing Zsa Zsa.

[wivern.livejournal.com]

Oh, so do I. He's a wonderful choice I think.

My goodness, I'd forgotten how long ago VG was... they look so young!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

He does look young, doesn't he? But yes, I think he's a great choice!

[the-secret-side.livejournal.com]

mmmm nice!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

:-D

[greyandgrey.livejournal.com]

guh. mmm delicious pic.

... Wait, Cobain as in Kurt?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes! The link is fixed now...

[luci0logy.livejournal.com]

Ahh, Velvet Goldmine. I love that film - Ewan, JRM, Christain Bale (with his native accent for once) and fantastic music.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I lovelovelove that movie! We watched it at a local fan gathering last fall, and I was shocked at the number of people who hadn't seen it.

[luci0logy.livejournal.com]

Peasants. *G*

[robriki.livejournal.com]

Yum, just look at Johna...Ewan!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yummeh.

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

Here's some discussion already perpetuating: http://community.livejournal.com/ewan_playground/814103.html

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

On second thought... I'm not going to comment there because the OP is being a bit belligerent to anyone who disagrees with her opinion that Ewan is "OMG ew gross too old!!1!" to play Kurt Cobain. I have no desire to get into an argument with someone I don't know. :-P

[http://users.livejournal.com/__streetspirit/]

Hmmm. Thats wierd. Im not too sure if Im happy with that.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Well, it wouldn't be a post of mine if someone didn't disagree. ;-)

[dartmouthtongue.livejournal.com]

Thank you very, very much. Really pleasant thing to look at in my f-list.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Ewan/JRM = yummeh. ;-)

[topaz7.livejournal.com]

Ewan, eh? Hmm, if he were still as thin and young as your photo, maybe. Obi-Wan has matured a bit too much to be Kurt, IMO. His acting would be awesome, though.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I think he'll do a good job. :-)

[topaz7.livejournal.com]

OK, OK, but he's going to need to go on a diet. Nothing but coffee and cigarettes until he's heroin-chic *g*

[bant.livejournal.com]

I could have seen him doing it ten years ago. He's a bit too old to do it now., as wonderful as he does look.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Ah, but movie magic can do wonders. If they can give Julia Roberts a rack, they can make Ewan look 8 years younger. ;-)

[lauderk2.livejournal.com]

Ooh wow, me too! AAAAAAAAHHH that is a sexy picture! I loves it and loves it and wants to carry the both of them off so I can shag them rotten and(scuse me, think I got carried away there. But still! Muchas cool!!!!!)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I loooove that movie. :-D

[collectively.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...Ewan. For a long time I was absolutely obsessed with Velvet Goldmine, and he looks so much like Kurt Cobain in parts of that that I would actually see pictures of Kurt Cobain and do a double take, thinking it was Ewan. ::grin::

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I know! I was thinking that too, and wondering if that was what the casting people were thinking about when they picked him.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. With his statistics for cock exposure in his films, this bodes well.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

OMG I didn't even think about that! :-D

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

LOL, best comment ever. *wipes tea off screen*

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

Squeeeeeeee! Me too!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[isukatthisgame.livejournal.com]

first off... the picture FUCKIN HOT!
second... i love nirvana and now ewan is gonna be playing kurt cobain? how the fuck could life get any better?!
and third...Mcgregor rocks my world. but that goes without saying.

[aluinnsearlait.livejournal.com]

I heard about this!

I pretty much think he's perfect for the role -- esp. after all that velvet goldminey goodness.

so...whos playing courtney?


also. jesus, could JRM BE any more sultry. i mean, really. (thanks for the pic)

[doro-chan.livejournal.com]

Even though nobody believes me, this is my favourite film. It really depends on the person if you like it though. Most people I showed it to were totally confused in the end.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

It's my favourite film, too. *high fives*

[spacetweenears.livejournal.com]

Oh yes!! Ewan was a dead ringer for Kurt in the later parts of VG with his long, blonde hair! I think he'll be just excellent!

I now have T.V. Eye - the one he sings as part of Wylde Rattz in VG.."Should I care.." *pictures all the oil and glitter goodness*

And yes, Ewan + JRM = v.v. yummeh!

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

OMGOMGOMG!

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

What I want to know is who's playing Courtney Love. ;)

Mmmmmm VG. :D
