So, here is my first attempt at dream casting a book!

This is who I'd love to see on-screen should they ever film Crazy for You by Jennifer Crusie. Blame can be laid at the feet of [livejournal.com profile] robanybody whose own amazing dream casts inspired me. ♥ Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] fringedweller can be blamed for re-introducing me to Chris O'Donnell. :D

This is really, really bad for dial-up!

Crazy for You

"You’re right, it’s the couch,” he said, refusing to look at her. “Classical conditioning. It’s not me, it’s the couch.






Quinn looked at the dog again and said, “As soon as I get you out of this storeroom, I’m taking a serious look at my love life.”



“I did not pancake the third time. I may have made a small musical error and blown my dismount, but pancake, no.”



A real man’s man, her father had said when she’d brought him home the first time. Which would explain why she didn’t want him now. Let the men have him.



“Because sometimes you need something new to feel alive again, Max. Sometimes what used to be good isn’t enough.”



“It’s been two weeks, and all she’ll say is she wants something new.” He looked around Bo’s as if it were Sodom. “Well, this is new. Damn it.”



“I am glad for you,” Meggy said. “It’s just, all these changes—” She picked up her purse and sighed. “Never mind, I’m probably just jealous.”



“She started yapping that I never listen to her, and I asked her if this was menopause, and she sort of screamed that was two years ago, and threw me out.” He looked at Nick. “Can they get that twice?”



“I’m moving in with your mother,” Edie said. “She decided that if you could change your life, so could she.” She looked over at Meggy with fond approval.



Thea went on. “And then you said, ‘Don’t settle,’ and I thought—” She shrugged. “It was stupid.”



Jason shrugged. “She’s smart. She’ll want to talk Shakespeare or something.”



“You look like a Katie. K-K-K-Katie, just like the song. A pretty, skinny K-K-K-Katie.”

I'm also picturing Noah Wyle as Bobby Gloam, Boy Principal and Emily Proctor as Barbara Niedermeyer.

This was fun! I hope you liked it!

♥______♥ Cuuuuuuute. All throughout that book I wanted more Jason/Thea. Like an extra 15 pages.

Mmmm Colin Farrel! It's a shame he's all but vanished of the face of TV and movies right now. He was so darned pretty I hardly even cared that he was such an ass in real life lol

He's sort of disturbingly attractive. It only stands to reason he'd be an arse in real life. He's actually going to be in a re-make of Fright Night with Anton Yelchin as a vampire! I...might have to see that.

It has it's cringe-worthy moments, in all honesty. But, it has some great lines and a very realistic sex scene that's just funny and hot and awkward all at once.

Thank you!!!

eeeee! This is awesome. Ginnifer Goodwin is perfect and after thinking about it for a while Colin Farrel is an excellent Nick. Jason and Thea are adorable, there should have been more about them.

How about Zoe??

edited to add - Thandie Newton in that plastic raincoat is quite an image!

I had a Zoe all picked out in my head and I can't remember who it was! Ugh! If it occurs to me, I'll let you know. ;D

And there should have been way more Jason and Thea!

Thandie Newton in that plastic raincoat is quite an image!

Oh, I know! So gorgeous!

Awww! I need to reread this because all I remember is something about a mechanic, badly handled mental health, stalking, and a dog.

I sometimes love my goldfish memory because it means I can reread stuff and have ZERO recollection of having read it before! Slightly worrying in terms of continued existence, but great for fiction reading!

That being said, PRETTY CAST IS PRETTY!

The stalking gets a bit too much for me at times, but the rest of the book is fun. Katie the dog is just darling.

Thank you! I love pretty casts! :D

Look at Chris O'Donnell being all cute. Look at him!

Ahem.

I am planning to get slightly drunk and write Deeks/Kensi sex. I apologise in advance for how it's going to turn out.

He's such a doll! Look at that smile!

Now, that sounds like a Friday night to me! :D I can't wait to see it.

Aw, LOVE this! Crazy For You was the first JC book I read. And yeah, the stalking thing DOES get cringe-y, but I ADORED the Quinn/Nick romance. I have a weird thing for the "former in-laws" trope. :) Also, Ginnifer Goodwin should be cast in ALL THE THINGS. I just love her face!

Thank you! :D It's not her best, but it has some moments that I just love and Quinn/Nick are just adorable. I immediately thought of Ginnifer Goodwin for the part and Colin followed shortly thereafter.

I have never even heard of this book but I love this cast.

Thank you! The book has some serious flaws, but I love the main character's relationship with her dog. ;D

Oh, man, Crazy For You is SUCH a fun book.

I Jennifer Godwin is PERFECT for Quinn. I would never in a million years though of Skarsgard for Bill (Bill was always a huge, bear-like man in my mind) but I kind of thing it would be fascinating to see Skarsgard playing a more emotional villain, if that makes sense.

Isn't it? :D

Ginnifer Goodwin was the first person I thought of for Quinn and Skarsgard can do earnest and then scary and then really scary, so I thought he might be a good Bill.

I love your pic spam/casting sessions so much, it's a little embarrassing. :) Man, that's a pretty, pretty cast. And I love that picture of Chris O'Donnell!

Aw, thank you! I like putting them together so much, it's a little embarrassing. ;D Chris O'Donnell has recently come back onto my radar and the man is adorable.
