Kyle, would you please carefully re-read my post please? I NEVER said 
and meant "let's not have the same cast", okay? 

You keep saying how Alfonso "suck" just because "half of the cast is 
gone". Please enlighten me, what are the "half of the casts" that are 
gone? Since when did that happen? And how's that entirely Alfonso's 
fault? Last time I check WB is the boss and Heyman is the producer 
who makes the ultimate decision, not Alfonso. 

Honestly, please answer me again, who are the "half of the cast" that 
are gone? I'm puzzled why you keep saying this over and over again. 
Just because Wood is not needed in the film (many have already write 
very good analysis why he's NOT needed) and just because they replace 
Tom the Innkeeper and Fatlady doesn't mean "half of the cast", is it?
Beside, wasn't that Columbus's decision to cast French Dawn as the 
new Fatlady?! It was Columbus's decision, NOT Alfonso, alright? 
Obviously they have their reasons, and we don't know exactly why. May 
be the original actors/actresses don't want the role anymore or are 
too busy at the moment. You don't know what was going on and neither 
do I. So I say it's rather silly for you to keep crying "Alfonso is 
evil and is ruining the film by changing the casts" and start 
petition or whatever.

Also, so many people have already explained to you that, if some cast 
decide to leave, it could be THEIR (the actors/actresses) decisions. 
The director can't do anything about it can he? Have you ever 
consider this possibility at all? Of course I too wish the same cast 
stay in all the films, at least all the main characters. However, if 
they themselves don't want to do it anymore, there's NOTHING we can 
do is there? 

Let me ask you again, do you honestly believe that, "keeping the same 
cast" is more important than "staying true to the spirit of the book" 
as well as "superior storytelling skill, smooth transition and not 
page-to-page summary direction"?!  Do you really prefer a director 
just because he "keep the same cast" than a much more talented and 
brilliant director who have the ability AND credibility to handle the 
film in a much more superior way?

Joan (who totally agree with Richard about one-liner and the overuse 
of exclamation marks, it is getting quiet annoying)
