A link and a meme!

Check it out, heather11483 did a picspam recasting LotR with all actors of color! Very cool! dhobikikutti is keeping a list of chromatic recasting posts for other books, comics, movies, and TV.

I'm doing a much easier meme:
Comment with the name of a female character and I'll tell you why I love her. In return, you can do the same in your journal.

(But you don't have to! Comment with no obligations! I'm in a good mood and I feel like being social and talking about awesome womens!)

That is awesome. Except I want Keisha Castle for Sam--she's great and that would keep the queer dynamic for the hobbits.

This makes me want to talk about how much I loved her in Whale Rider, only I don't remember the movie well enough. I guess that means I ought to watch it again. Anyway, I agree, a female Sam and a few others for Frodo to get femslashy with would be lovely.

Wow, very cool. I'd switch her Pippin and Merry-- Diego Luna seems more Pippin-ish to me-- but then again, her casting kind of matches the casting of Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd, who played the opposite types from their real-life dynamic.

Her Frodo and Sam are adorable.
