I totally agree - the man *is* Sirius, and he's gorgeous! I saw him 
on a talk show this morning and he said he really prefers playing 
nasty evil characters to Mark Darcy types; so maybe he would consider 
playing Sirius, who is portrayed as evil for a little while!

I agree with you about the movie - the book was so much funnier. I 
missed the character of her friend Tom, they changed him so much in 
the film! And they really did oversimplify the plot for the film - 
guess it makes more sense to do that unless they wanted it to go on 
for hours - but definitely the book is worth reading, the movie... 
not as worth it!
