This gave me such good #honey nut feelios! The good captain used that phrase in another message, which I must add to my fandom vocab ;}
captainthunderbunny here has articulated the issue re: the hate Antonio Banderas gets for being cast as Armand. The good captain put it very well, it’s a movie adaption, it’s not meant to be an exact replica of the book.
There are all kinds of reasons why a movie has chosen to go in a different direction than the book, the director has chosen to work on the film bc they want to put their spin on the story, so if you don’t like elements they’ve changed, consider them AU to your headcanon.
It’s so good to promote such peaceable ppl as the captain ❤
“…so often we pretend to be gods in Gucci clothes, and it’s nonsense. It’s just to reassure ourselves and live in this illusion that we are solid as hell and we’re not water, and we know what we’re doing. We don’t, and that’s okay. If you know everything, then you’re probably not open to new discoveries.

Damn right! Antonio, Anyone?
y’know, as much as some ppl didn’t like him as Armand (and I will defend Antonio 5ever!), I could see him as Santino. Maybe part of the reason they cast him as Armand is that they really wanted Santino. Let’s pretend it’s Santino passing as Armand.
@alejcvz recommends HIM’s song based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Also look at this lead singer Ville Valo like, c’mon, very vampiry:
I found Armand! (Or a face for him, anyhow.) Just plunk a russet wig on Rory Finn. He’s got the big brown eyes for it and he’s just boyish enough, I think, to nail the look. There’s a pic on going around tumblr right now where he’s dressed up in Carravaggio-esque garb and his expression just screams Armand to me. I wish I could link you to it…

#the resemblance is uncanny
//Well I have no idea who he is but the person who posted the original pic is Norwegian so I sent her a question about it. We’ll see if she replies.
//All hail my supreme internet skills – she didn’t recall his name but after some googling it turns out it’s Tristan Zieverink. He’s the brother of Jacko Zieverink, who also looks ridiculously like Tom Cruise and who was a contestant on The Voice Germany (singing Somebody To Love, hilariously enough, so it’s good classic rock genes all the way). And even better, there’s five of them in the family, and they have a band. For extra stalker points, his profile pics on facebook are public. You’re welcome! 😀
tHANK U! Excellent detective work coldinhumanity.
He can sing, and play guitar, and I mean just look at this guy! Here’s a much better shot:
And he has all these duplicative brothers zomg!:
^Hello, Far Left. I think that’s Tristan.
