That's what Steve looks like!! Split from EP155: Tideline

If I don't know what a forum poster actually looks like, I picture them as their avatar.

So yes, Russell's got kind of a green color.

I have pictures of my kids in here, so I can't really claim to be very exotic.  Although if you looked at my kids, you might think I'm a lot better looking than I am.  They got that from their mother.

I don't really look like Eeyore, but I have the same temperament.

Oh, and for the record, I'm one of the hetero-white-male oppressors

Muttley from Wacky Races checking in.

For the record, I'm sure I've seen that photo before in a forum thread, but it was a while back and I can't find the thread quickly. So it's not new-new information. Plus, you can always check out Steve's LJ, which makes for interesting reading on the whole conception v. reality bit.

I remember that thread also.  I think it was wiped out in the November server crash.

Here.

We didn't lose everything in the crash.  We only lost one week.

I dont really look like RDA but I have the same sense of humor ( kinda sarcastic at times) as his character did in SG-1 so the avi seemed appropriate lol

I do not actually look like a bicycle. 

The avatar and screen name were both probably picked out under way too much self-imposed pressure (I was in a hurry to post, for a reason I can no longer remember) and sort of grabbed what was handy. Never got around to fixing either one.

As for the Steve, I'd always envisioned him as thin and bearded.  Not sure why...  Seeing his picture doesn't bother me, but I never would have guessed.

I look exactly like Marv and if you don't believe me I'm gonna kick your ass and take your coat.

[wherethewild]

My avatar looks exactly like me. On a good day, when my hair's behaving. And I'd just had a big lunch.

I think that pic makes your nose look smaller than it is.

Yeah, well thanks for letting THAT secret out. Everyone's going to think I look like a freak now they know that.

[Tango Alpha Delta]

I look exactly like me, and always have.


And these Legos apparently look like me, too... the postman, the fireman.  Say, is there a Pope Lego out there, with a little miter and wee, red shoes?  That would be pretty cool to have at work.

Intentional; picked up from another forum.  Another (from yet another forum) which you may see me use occasionally is "I agree with this psot."

I must admit, I had a different picture of Steve in my head when I listened to his voice. And I have that with all the people I listen to. That's why I don't like to see most films based on books I like: because it conflicts with my own mental picture. The pictures you see in front of you easily replace the mental pictures you had, so it feels kinda sad when your own mental pictures are taken away because you see some concrete picture someone else makes for you. At least, that's how I feel.

Most movies replace the mental pictures I had when reading a book and mostly I hate that. There are of course some exceptions. When I saw 'The Stand' (based on Stephen King's wonderful novel) I was completely stunned to see it was *excactly* like my mental pictures! That was a great feeling: having *my* mental pictures put in a real movie :]
But I may be creating a whole new topic here...

Wow... you might be starting a new topic, at that.

In the case of the Stand, I absolutely would NEVER have cast Gary Sinise as Stu.  Aside from having a mentally handicapped side-kick, Gary Sinise was completely wrong for that character.  (And why is it that Sinise always seems to play opposite someone with diminished capacity?  Forrest Gump... Of Mice and Men... The Stand... ?)

Come to think of it, almost no one in that cast suited the image I had of their character (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108941/)... Ruby Dee worked... Matt Frewer... Bill Fagerbakke (as said diminished capacitor) maybe a couple of others.  But the major characters?  No way.

I really liked Gary Sinise as Stu, but then I would, since I saw the miniseries before I read the book.  However, I like Stephen King's original casting for Larry Underwood -- totally should've been Bruce Springsteen.

I thought King said his first choice was Marshall Crenshaw (see introduction to the revised edition).

Hrm.  I don't remember that, but it could be.  I am pretty sure he did say the Boss would make a great Larry Underwood, though.  Maybe he was choice #2?  (Or the ideal -- the choice he knew he could never get?)
