May. 13th, 2005 07:29 amNotice the new icon! Meg made it for me. I call it Pink Baby Cthulhu. I don't know how to put that on the icon itself, though. *sad face*
Ya know, I've noticed something (shocking!).
Okay, so the Goblet of Fire movie is coming out this fall, based on the book of the same name, and it is where we meet Viktor Krum, the star Seeker for the Bulgarian Quidditch team. I don't have the book right beside me, so I won't be quoting, but he is described as having a large nose, really thick eyebrows, and rather awkward-looking while on the ground (I picture him with a beak like a vulture and a unibrow).
The actor they hired to play Krum is a Bulgarian named Stanislav Ianevski. He...is not ugly, in my opinion. I don't think he's hot, either, but definitely better looking than I pictured Krum to be.

What interests me are the various reactions the casting choice is getting, ranging from "Oh wow, he's hot! I'm so glad he's playing Krum!" to (like me) "He's too good-looking to be Krum!" to (and this is the really amusing one) "OMG he's fugly and not hot enough to play Krum!" The between-the-lines for that last one is "He's not hot enough to be Hermione's boyfriend oh NOES."
I have also heard him described as "the love child of Orlando Bloom and a gorilla." That one's not far off the mark, I think. He's either really attractive, or really not. Maybe you'd have to know him personally to make up your mind.
Also, a meme from Moogle Girl.

Heh. I'll have to see the movie before I can decide if he's attractive. From the picture, he's...just ok.
