You know, THAT GUY.

I just caused myself to have a near-coronary. Thanks once again, internet! You make my health level much dodgier with every day!
While looking for the title of David [and Leigh] Eddings' new book series [The Dreamers, btw], I found a site summary that mentioned casting for... drumroll... the Belgariad/Mallorean characters.

Moment of panic.

When I checked it, it was just the same old thing that I'd seen years ago [although it mentioned that David doesn't want his books turned into movies, the silly brilliant man], with suggestions of Catherine Zeta-Jones or Sandra Bullock as Polgara, and Heath Ledger as Garion, and Sean Connery [!] as Belgarath. [Of course, then there were the fun ones, like Tommy Lee Jones as Ctuchik and Carrie Fisher as Poledra.]


( Cut for fan-ness. )

Also, I love my mom.

Alex: Hey, this song's perfect for Captain Jack.
Mom: ...Sparrow?
Alex: No, Harkness! You know, the pretty one?
Mom: Which pretty one?
Alex: The Doctor Who pretty one.
Mom: *face of concentration*
Alex: You know, the one that looks like Gibbs.
Mom: What?
Alex: The one that looks like Young Gibbs.
Mom: Wait, are you talking about that guy?
Alex: I don't know, which guy?
Mom: That guy. The, you know, action guy. The Mac guy.
Alex: Um.
Mom: That MacGuyver guy.
Alex: What?
Mom: What?
