Cool. I'm sure I was pretty harsh, but I just thought that it had 
gotten rather ridculous for people to be upset that Oldman doesn't 
fit their "mental image" and then want someone who is physically 
more attractive, but doesn't have the skills, isn't right age-wise, 
or isn't even English just because they do fit their "mental image". 
It just smacks of women living down to a certain expectation, IMO 
(i.e. the "Sirius" fantasies).



> But you can't blame me for being just a little disappointed at the 
moment,can you?  

Nope, not if your hormones have nothing to do with your 
dissapointment... ;-)  And if not, I most definitely was not 
referring to you. 


>Just like I can't blame you for thinking that Oldman is nothing
> less than perfect?  

Not, since my opinion is based primarily on what he can bring acting-
wise and not "mental image" wise to the table....But you know, it is 
fun to imagine...
