Alan Cummings is NOT Gilderoy Lockhart! (rant)

[Athene]

Delurking to agree with Jen...

Has anyone here seen "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins and Alan Cummings? 
It's based on Shakespeare's play "Titus Andronicus". You want smarmy, 
slimy, and dirty, with questionable moral qualities, all wrapped up 
in an intricate Shakespearean plotline, watch "Titus". Sort of a 
disturbing movie, but quite good...

AC's character was rather chilling. That's about the only word I can 
use to describe him. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at him 
again without thinking of that movie. Of course, that says something 
for the quality of his acting skills, so I have to respect him for 
that. It's *possible* that he could pull it off, but I know that I 
for one would have issues with watching him play a character like 
Lockhart.

Just to lighten this up a bit - plus, can you imagine him with the 
gleaming blonde hair that I seem to remember from Lockhart's 
description? :) 

Back to lurking. Just had to throw in my opinion...
