I bought Neverwhere, and got about a quarter of the way through, before I gave up.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.

The rest of us are a bit crap.

As far as I can remember the original proposed cast for Gilliams' GO included Robin Williams and Johnny Depp. Just can't figure out which one was supposed to be Azirafal and which one's Crowley ;)
As for Death there could be only one choice of course. Christopher Lee and no one else.

And if we're talking about Gilliams' ability let me just remind The Fisher King...

There's one thing I really can't understand. It's the whole 'the film would spoil it for me' approach. Well, there's a very simple solution to this problem - for crying out loud - do not watch! :P If the film existed you can still opt out from watching while as long as it doesn't exist I can't opt for watching. It's not so difficult to figure out which situation would leave more people happy :>

Depp'd good for both Crowley and Azirafal (I so wanted to type Falafel there :roll: ) - can't really see Williams as either really. Genies he's v. good at, but angels, fallen or otherwise - nope doesn't work!

How about Keanu Reeves and Depp - they're supposed to be similar aren't they though one of them would have to go blond of course... :twisted:

Oooh, I could see that working well! I'd quite like to see that :D

See, I really like Neverwhere, although I did find it took a while to get into :) What was it that made you give up?

I used Good Omens as a way to get my friend into Terry Pratchett, I believe I said it was like Dogma but better...
