Hello, it has been a while :)

I was lookign for something no Potterian and no Star Wars to read
('cause I haven't seen the movie yet) and I found a group where it was
said about a possible Evangelion Movie, which I think is an interesting
idea. Beside rumours and opinions, many people agreed on say that
Daniel Radcliffe would be a good option for the young Shinji. Do you
agree? YOu think Daniel would feit well in the character, which is 500%
more complicated than Harry Potter?

_
FYI, it was also said that in fact, DR would be too old for the role,
because they want real 14 years children, not 22 years that look like
kids. In this case, for the time the movie started filming, Daniel
would be too old.

I think when you come here and say that characters from other thing are
SOOOO much more complicated than Potter characters, you're treading the
line of being a troll. Seriously, you couldn't've asked that question with
the little dig as Harry?
To answer your question--He might be good, I think an unknown would be
better.
Also, how are they gonna make the plot of NGE into a movie? Will that even
work?

Real 14 year olds? That's.... I dunno, that could be tricky.

If they truly wanna get 14 year olds, he already is.

can't find Outlook anywhre in this PC, so Im'm in the "new Google
groups", which is breaking my head)

Why would I be a troll? I'm just expressing my opinion about two
characters that are very popular: Personally, I think that shinji is a
more more complicated character to be pplayed by any young actor (cause
if is true the rumours, somethign young would be Shinji), even more
complicated that Harry is. They both are very diferent, indeed, but
Shinji is more a challenge that Harry is, again IMHO.

I do like Daniel Radcliffe, and I think he is a good actor (or is in
the way to) and fans of a Manga Magazine choose him as their fisrt
option, which started mostly of rumours.

About the E movie, as I said, there is more rumours than nothing: I
found the news in a local website that is in Spanish. YOu can access:
http://www.americatv.com.pe/cinescape and look for Foros (left down),
then look for the Ciencia Fiction link and there is subject: "LIVE
ACTION DE EVANGELION MUCHA INFO INTERESANTE". There is a very good
article about what's rumour ans what is not. the problem is that is in
Spanish, so, here are more links mantioned in the site:

I said what you said treads the line.

That's not how you phrased, it, though. You said:

"YOu think Daniel would feit well in the character, which is 500% more
complicated than Harry Potter?"

This isn't just a mild comparicon of the two characters.. You used a very
high number, suggesting that Shinji is a MUCH more complicated character
(which many people would interpret to mean that you think he's also a much
better character).

Ok.

I'm aware of that.

I liked the series well enough, but I'm really not sure how well a lice

But he's still tied up in HP4 movie, announced for movie 5 (probably
2007), and there's always the chance he'd be a little busy with the
remaining movies 6 and 7. Add to that the child labor law limits the
time he can work in movies and that won't leave him with any free time
to do other movies at the same time as Harry Potter movies.

I said he was too old, so why are you replying as if I argued for him?

And thinking that there are deeper and more complex characters than HP
(even by 500%) is troll-material? I wouldn't mind being able to express
my opinions about HP characters without being labeled a troll. This
concept is called free speech.

I said it treads the line.

Ah. So, you can say what you want due to free speech... and I can't? How
is THAT free speech? As far as I can see, that's YOU exercising your free
speech, and telling me to shut up.
And, please explain how my comment stop anyone from posting? Because
until/unless I do that, I'm not really curtailing anyone's free speech, am
I?

Why? Just because he's different? It's not like he was trying to be
intentionally annoying (at least I doubt it).

You used your free speech to accuse someone of being a troll for using
THEIR free speech. I'm not saying you can't, but isn't that kind of
cheap? I suppose I'm now using my free speech to accuse of you of being
cheap for using your free speech to accuse him of being a troll. Oh
well. I suppose this could go on and on...

First off, "drusilla" is a she.
Second, I really feel like I've explained why I think what drusilla said
treads the line of trolling already. Please re-read the quoted paragraph
above that starts, "That's not how you phrased, it, though."

> It's not like he was trying to be intentionally annoying (at least I
> doubt it).

It felt like a cheap shot. Plus, it was not really necessary to say it,
yet she did.

No. I didn't. I said IT TREADS THE LINE.
Are people intentionally misreading me?

It's not cheap if I'm saying it because I think it's true. If I went around
calling people trolls just because they disagreed with me or something,
that would be cheap. But I don't. When I use the term "troll", I mean it.
So, no, it's not "cheap".

Ah. I understand better now. But I still disagree that it was troll or
almost troll material. I have reread the above paragraph. I just don't
think that "suggesting that Shinji is a MUCH more complicated character"
is almost troll material. Maybe it would help me out if you told me what
he could have said that you would have considered full fledged troll
material? For example, if he had said:

Harry Potter is an un-complex character, compared to Shinji, who is 500%
more complex.

Would you have then called him troll, or treading the line of troll, or
something else?

Understand I'm not mocking or being sarcastic, I really am trying to
understand here.
