Good morning! At Steph's request, I will be providing your DE for today.

Let's call today Cognitive Dissonance Day!

What casting in TV shows or movies makes your head hurt because of Milliways?

For example, The Jacket explodes my brain every time Moiraine and Raven are onscreen together.

What about you guys?

Comments

I don't know if my head exploded but I definitely went "WTF?" when I saw our very own barman working at a comic show in Heroes a season or two ago.

I'll have to see if any others occur to me on my way to work.

[djcati.livejournal.com]

WITH OZ, NO LESS. That was a wonderful, wonderful episode. (Shame about the rest of the season.)

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

Good Glod I loved that episode.
I...kept thinking: Oh yeah, that right there? That's an icon. And that's an icon.

He was on House too, so I have a whole SLEW of hospital icons as well.

[djcati.livejournal.com]

Season seven of Buffy was difficult to watch. MAL WHAT ARE YOU DOING AGHHH NOT HIS EYE--

Fantastic Four, on the other hand, is just hilarious. TYCHO CELCHU -- WITH SUPER POWERS!!! Thankfully, movie!FF is a totally separate entity to 616!FF in my mind, otherwise reading comics would be an interesting experience.

On a similar note, I guess Lexie is good at the brain-breaking PBs or something, but the one time I watched the US version of What Not To Wear I was terrified the entire time. Why is Isard giving fashion advice? DON'T LET HER NEAR YOUR CHILDREN.

[cutting_edgex23]

I am with you on all of those.

Especially the last one!

Dear LORD -- what nefarious scheme would get Isard to join the on-air staff of that show?

Inquiring minds want to know!

[themidnightson]

Gah! Things!

Star and Edward are going to be a movie being all cute and happy and in love soon! And this is painful to think about, even if I have to see if for her!


AND ALLIE PLAYS JANE!

My head is has issues. >_>

[cutting_edgex23]

. . . . . Star and Edward? Ow.

That is definitely brainsplodey.

[noteful]

Confessions of a Shopaholic. In which Meg Ford spends 2 hours falling for Amy's husband Perry.

Also, Underworld and Van Helsing, because Amy does NOT need to be dressed like Kate Beckinsale is dressed in those movies.

I also frequently have moments, watching all kinds of stuff, of "Hey, that's so-and-so's icon!"

[cutting_edgex23]

Aw, but. Awesome leather coat! *eyes Underworld*

[the_lioness]

Terminator: Salvation. Alanna and Roger. Roger and Alanna. Although I did have that moment of 'Huh, I wish these pics had been out when Alanna was pregnant.' :D

*icons shamelessly*

The Jacket gets me too, especially because I think of Moiraine AND Lizzie. Which leads me to the brain pain of Lizzie and Beckett in Pride & Prejudice!

[cutting_edgex23]

. . . . . Wow.

That would hurt, that last one.

Ow.

[camwyn]

Behind Enemy Lines stars Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. I watched it for the sake of Belar screencaps, mostly.

My brain tried to crawl out my ears when they introduced an admiral played by Ramon's actor. RAMON GET OUT OF THAT SHINY NAVY UNIFORM RIGHT THIS INSTANT.

Also, well... The Fallen's voice actor in Revenge of the Fallen was Tony Todd, and one of the Primes was voiced by Robert Atkin Downes. So it was Transformers: Revenge of Gordon Freeman's Bitchy Vortigaunt Friend, with one of the legendary ancient leaders of the Cybertronians being the Team Fortress 2 Medic.

[cutting_edgex23]

That last one sounds almost fun!

My brain, however, rebels at the thought of Ramon in a Navy uniform. *cannot cope*

[aberration]

The last time I really remember something like this happening was seeing Leighton Meester, who played Behrooz's girlfriend, on House.

But then she went and got famous on Gossip Girl and that didn't really stick in my mind so much.

I did used to be kind of particular about whether or not I'd use Veronica Mars icons for Elle, but I've become more lax about that. Sort of.


Lyyyyyyyyne I think I'm sick -___- I don't wanna be in Civ Pro.

[cutting_edgex23]

Lax is good! Er. Bad. Something!

*rescues you from both illness and Civ Pro*

*is a superhero like that?*

[innerbrat]

The Adventures of Adam Strange confuses the Hell out of me, because the lead couple are Adam - a misplaced man from Earth and his wife, the warrior woman Alanna.

I saw Becoming Jane the other day and continually expected Jocasta Wiggs to assassinate Will Scarlett.

It's not exclusively Milliways, but Life is so totally the Renee and Charlie show I keep calling Dani Renee in my head, and thinking that Charlie Szasz's last name is actually Crewes.

And before Bing gets up, I must mention that Transporter 3 is really Raph and Alanna going on a roadtrip.

[varadia]

I think that is the only thing anyone could say to get me to watch Transporter 3. I think your work here is done.

(Truth re: Life. It is uncanny!)

I miss Jocasta. She was fun. Though I bet she'd liven up The Princess Diaries 1 and 2 a lot.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

'The Darjeeling Limited' - a movie that makes a stab at artsy and goes on entirely too long, but is hilarious because it's Belar (Owen Wilson) and Raven (Adrian Brody) (and some other dude that I suspect is Coyote in disguise) on a roadtrip. And frankly, the movie works Much Better like that.

I mean, how can this (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3355351296/tt0838221) not be them? Where's the oom that goes along?

[varadia]

*eyes Cam*

*facepalms*

Well, it's definitely RAVEN.

Now I want to see that movie, just to add in your storyline.

[newredshoes]

I get all weirded out and squeeful when BoB actors are everywhere. And together! Someday I will stop being so freaked out by Life. Charlie Crews is a redhead and Dick Winters... is less so. NOT THE SAME PERSON. *paranoid*

[varadia]

Twins separated by generations!

There was a time travel incident.

*solemn*

[mmexlibris]

Dr. Song showing up as either a conniving husband murderer on Without A Trace (Ryan, if she ever asks you to go to Mexico with her, Just Say No) or as a lawyer for the defense on LO:SVU (in a smashing red suit, I must say). Not exactly brain breaky, but still brain achey.

Baby face Fiona as the woman Al Pacino tangos with in Scent of a Woman. Just. NO. (I refuse to see the Tudors.)

Michael Westen popping into Crossing Jordan as a LAWYER. (He's a spy! He's just after your intel!) Also, Touching Evil makes my head hurt. He almost has emotions in that one.

Earl showing up in Deadwood with the foulest mouth. (An Angel's work is never done.)

Any time the Gecko shows up looking like an industrious tool of the corporation. Man, that guy can act.

There still needs to be Mills/Qui Gon/Raz Al Ghul hilarity at some point.

[varadia]

Deadwood is good for that! For all sorts of people.

Maybe the red suit could show up in-bar someday!

I have never gotten over the Touching Evil/Burn Notice character thing.

EVERY TIME I see his face it trips me up.

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

I love the incestuous world of genre TV. Especially right now when all the showrunners know each other and willfully cast each other's actors.

I'm greatly looking forward to Kara Thrace, data analyst and Leoben Conoy, Russian mobster on 24 in January.

Law & Order|UK is delightfully full of Lee Adama flirting with Martha Jones.

Upcoming on Warehouse 13 tomorrow night, Saul Tigh and the head of Baltar's judges as the parents of Myka Bering.

This season of Dollhouse brings Lee Adama marrying Faith Lehane and recurring roles for River Tam and Wesley Wyndham-Price, plus the return of Romo Lampkin.

And coming this Winter, Caprica, featuring Spike and Methos.

[varadia]

I am torn between Spike and Methos or Kara and Ray Kowalski on the same show.

It is a hard call.

[sleightofhand]

This is pretty obscure, but Gia Goodman is currently a model for Jacob. It is strange.

[varadia]

I think she was on one of the seasons of VMars I stopped watching.

*sad*

Seeing people in modeling things is often jarring for me, though. Especially the really super-stylized ads or photoshoots.

One time an old PB of mine did one where he had plastic breakfast foods attached to his face. I have no idea.

[ceitfianna]

Oddly I haven't had that much dissonance lately. When all the Wanted previews were coming out, they kept making my head hurt but lately there hasn't been anything.

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

I've had more than a few people tell me that I'd ruined Scrubs for them by having Zach Braff as Raph's old PB.

Though...anyone who's seen The Wire knows exactly why I've swapped Braff out for Lombardozzi. Someday Raph'll take Fuzzy Dunlop out of the Lost and Found. Someday.

I have one Icon of Raph that's really Jason Statham, only I didn't know it at the time I made it? And then I saw the frame in the most recent Transporter movie, where he's driving around really fast with this really thin red headed woman.

It was the Alanna and Raph show.
And then there was a love scene and it BROKE MY BRAIN.

[lunamystic]

...ouch. Buddy cops! Buddy cops!

[minkhollow]

I have several.
David Straithairn as Arthur Spiderwick leaps to mind, since he's so firmly Whistler in my head that my brain stops at 'WHAT IS WHISTLER DOING DRAWING THINGS HOW CAN THIS BE.' (Oddly, I was fine with him as Edward R Murrow...)
Jesse L Martin on Law & Order gives me a headache, when I see it, because Collins is kind of the opposite of a cop. Also, Taye Diggs on Private Practice/last season's crossover episodes with Grey's Anatomy (Equilibrium didn't, possibly because the main difference between his character there and Benny is 'guns').
And then there's one that wasn't a problem, at first, but now it is.

See, I saw one episode of The Big Bang Theory last year, and I thought it was fun (also, THEME SONG BY BNL, YES PLS), but I fail at keeping appointment TV. And then I saw Dr. Horrible.
And then we went to my grandparents' and there was an ad on the TV grid for Big Bang Theory and Moist went '...what the hell am I wearing and who thought that was a good idea?'
so yeah.
(I also can't watch Castle because my brain keeps going 'CAPTAIN HAMMER NO,' but that's more Joss Whedon's fault than anyone here.)

For extra credit, though so far it's elsegame, I recognised Orange County on TV once because Mom surfed past a bit that was in the IMDb photos when I was making icons for not_the_lion. That was fun.

[varadia]

Captain Hammer is terrifying that way.

And cruel.

[bcgphoenix]

It's not exactly something I'd call brain-breaky -- well, not for me, anyway -- but...I admit there is an exceedingly awful corner of my mind that wants Dr. Emil Hamilton from Smallville to turn up in the bar someday.

:D?

[varadia]

*shiny eyes*

*OF GLEE*

[nocarename]

Not actually caused by RP, but Gargoyles always fries a few more neurons every time I hear Xanatos.

Or Demona.

Or Puck.

*mumble mumble* Why do you do this to me canon(s)?

[cupenny.livejournal.com]

Or Titania, or ColdStone...

And I think Levar Burton had a bit part in it as well.

[cupenny.livejournal.com]

A Knight's Tale is just... a cross-over PB explosion. "Hi Door! Hi Wash! Hi nekkid'Aziraphael! Hi Tiwa!"

Then enter in my sister. "... Hey, isn't that the guy from 11th Hour?" "Yep! He plays a bad guy in this one. Rather similar to The Illusionist where he plays insane royalty. ... He's better at playing bad guys, I think."

[ceitfianna]

Wait, Alizee is in A Knight's Tale? I thought she's too young and you know crazy French pop singer.

I don't make her new icons a lot because I search and headvoice and I both go o.O, put your clothes back on.

Returning After Class

[ceitfianna]

In my reference class, I started writing Sam and Dean visit Becoming Jane, its going really well.

Writing this reminds me why I adored playwriting classes because the dialogue of Jane and Tom and then the Winchester boys just cracks me up far, far too much.

There won't be much of a plot since I suck at those but its going well.

Re: Returning After Class

[varadia]

WIN!

*victory arms*

Dialogue is my favorite. I do not know if that is obvious from my RP tags. But. Um. Yes. *g*

[mercuriazs.livejournal.com]

Mostly I cackle with delight to think of Puck as a penguin.

*eyes Elijah Wood in Happy Feet*

Best part is that millicanon went down waaay before HF.



Also I guess Ava as a crazy sexual werewolf is surprisingly apt.

She would be one if she could.

[varadia]

Oh Katharine Isabelle.

I am, however, trying to envision Ava as the Ginger from the third movie -- the prequel -- with identical sisters with the same names in the 19th century wilds of Canada.

I can only see her being all 'GET ME OUT OF HERE'.

[aimedforthemoon]

There are many reasons why I'm not watching Hitman.

Seeing the Russian astronaut as a prostitute is fairly high on the list.

But I must admit that watching Casino Royale was fun. I kept going "...Delia, what are you doing with Bond?" (the answer being, of course, that Delia would quite LIKE Bond, I'm sure)

[minkhollow]

Also also also.
I have a hard time watching Patrick Swayze movies that are not To Wong Foo. My brain runs out of cheese very quickly. XD
