Okay, is Kos Draco Malfoy or Snape?

[TayTay]

I gotta go with Draco, cuz he's just not polished enough to be Snape. (I know, maybe it's just me, but that blustery blathering has teenager written all over it.)

[BlueIris]

1. I...don't think that analogy is exactly my cup of tea, but, if I have to..

I'll go with Draco. Snape, at least, appears to understand the concept of short-term sacrifice in order to achieve long-term goals, and the nature of true commitment, discipline and effectiveness.

[globalvillage]

2. Good God, Woman!

Not Snape!
Alan Rickman is dreamy.

[TayTay]

4. True dat!

I have loved him like forever. He is awesome.

Hmm, okay what other 'classic villains that are fairly well known' could he be?

[whometense]

7. mmmmmmmm...

Alan Rickman. What's your favorite role?

Sap that I am, his Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility is my favorite, but I loved him in Truly Madly Deeply too.

That VOICE!!!!!

[globalvillage]

11. Ah, Col. Brandon.

Brave, sensitive, honorable, handsome. That was one of my favorites. Although, I kind of like the dark side of Rickman in Die Hard and Robin Hood, too.
So many great roles.

The best part...the VOICE.

He has THE VOICE.

[TayTay]

12. Ahm, everything.

I even loved him in Dogma. That was a great film. Rickman was awesome. (I believed him as the Metatron. That was really funny!)

Sigh! That voice indeed.

[globalvillage]

13. Sexy evil

Certainly not kos-like.





OK. It's a crush.

I just re-watched Dogma the other day, BTW. Good flick.

[europegirl4jfk]

26. Wow! So many Rickman fans here!

He is one of my favorite actors too, along with some other Brits, especially Kenneth Branagh and Ralph Fiennes. I've seen all three of them on stage in London and can't get enough of the British theatre. They really have the finest actors!

[MonteLukast]

15. Very interesting!

I once said that Kerry had a voice "like an American Alan Rickman."

[globalvillage]

19. Apologies to the Senator, he has a beautiful voice.

but in this category, he's second best, IMHO.

"If velvet had a voice,
it would sound like Alan Rickman..."

21. I've heard JK's voice is absolutely devastating...

... when he's speaking a foreign language.

Never got to hear this phenomenon firsthand, unfortunately. Yet.

[europegirl4jfk]

24. There is still this video from the Tour de France

Kerry says some words in French and his accent is really very good. I still have the link to the France 3 TV site and I checked it, the video is still there. Scroll down until you see Kerry's picture and then click on the link under the picture to watch the video:

[jenndar]

25. I think I might have a file of him speaking a tiny bit of French

I could always YSI it to you.

[whometense]

23. ha ha!!

That would explain a lot!! :D

[Mass]

3. Draco - Snapes knows what he does. kos has no idea what he does.

(except if he is a paid GOP blogger. This may be a possibility as he is totally indifferent against those who voted for CAFTA, Bankruptcy Bill, ... . If we have to live in a tinfoil world, why not this one?).

[BlueIris]

5. I think that is a real possibility.

That he's scamming for the GOP. If his criticisms as I'm reading them were in any sense based on actual facts, well, I would be able to write him off as a confused Dean supporter who might not also be a not-so-closet conservative, but, but...this latest list of hateful ripping is just pure insanity. It's setting off my spidey sense.

Let's ask blm. That's one poster who can identify an actual freeper from a mile away.

[Firespirit]

6. Neither.

Kos is Peter Pettigrew.

A two-faced shrimpy little traitorous RAT.

[WildEyedLiberal]

8. Yes.

My thoughts exactly. He goes wherever the wind blows, trying to hitch a ride on whoever's coattails he thinks will get him farthest.

[Firespirit]

9. Check this out.

There's even a resemblance. It would be even better if Kos let himself go.

[WildEyedLiberal]

10. My first though upon seeing Kos was "weasel"

Though "rat" isn't too far off.

[globalvillage]

14. That's one ugly man.

Take your pick.

[MonteLukast]

20. My .02

Decent face. Rather nice eyes. Plug-ugly hair.

Ugly, nasty grudge against my President. Absolutely execrable determination to misunderstand, miscommunicate, self-aggrandize, and in general cram his head as far as possible up his ass.

[MonteLukast]

18. That's what he looks like?

My God, I could almost babysit for him.

He actually reminds me of that annoying kid in Rushmore.

[MonteLukast]

16. Also quite the projectionist.

He's accused Kerry of every single one of those character traits.

[MonteLukast]

17. Hmmm... he could be Amos Diggory.

Remember him? GoF, Cedric's father?

Almost as prejudiced against Muggle-borns as the Slytherins... overly coddles his son like Kos does with Dean... and, especially, that irritating type who puts out an image of being self-sacrificing while in reality being quite mean-spirited and petulant. Cedric, on the other hand, was truly decent. If a bit dim.

Both Amos and Cedric are Hufflepuffs, after all.

[TayTay]

22. Oh, I like that. That fits. n/t
