eh, weird question

Does anyone know if there's a McKay/Sheppard reworking of Notting Hill? The roommate and I were spinning this odd hypothetical world in which all the stars come to our little podunk town to hide out from the paparazzi and drive beat-up pickup trucks. That got me thinking of Notting Hill and how, like so many things in this world, it would be a weirdly appropriate AU for John and Rodney.

I mean, Rodney running a scientific bookstore and worrying about income, and John the super-famous actor and Rodney's celebrity crush wandering in to buy a book on, oh, Poincare's theorem or something, and Radek the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.

Or, you know, John running a weird secondhand book store that's all dusty and has weird stuff like the complete run of National Geographic from 1970-81 and a lot of books on flight, and Rodney the super-famous scientist and John's geeky crush wandering in looking for old scifi to mock, and Ronon the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.

Yeah.

In other news: I spent all last night and most of today feeling cranky and lame and out of sorts. But I found my passport, which has been missing for a year, and also I have had chocolate-espresso cookies and tea. Things may be looking up, at least with respect to chocolate and ability to flee the country.

Although, apparently one of the bloodcells the boy meets and befriends is "grumpy and shy". and apparently a bit clever. So that too, could be Rodney.

Hmmmm... I'm thinking the teddy bear could be maybe Radek or Carson and the grumpy and shy blood cell could be Rodney, especially if the blood cell and John have to spend a lot of time together.

(As friends of course, anything else would be freakish and unnatural.)

f we were discussing this movie being turned into John/Rodney that is. Which would be weird :P

Yes, yes it would be :D Yet strangely hypnotic.

Oh yes, that could most certainly work. I think perhaps it would be Radek being the teddy-bear, even if Carson would be more...hugable?

(As friends of course, anything else would be freakish and unnatural.)

And yes, as friends of course. We don't want John (at the kiddy-stage or any stage at all) in a relationship with his grandfather's blood cell. Or at least, I'm fairly certain we don't.

Yet strangely hypnotic.

Much like a train crash, I feel. One wants to stop, look away, and yet instead you take a step towards it.

Iiiiii'm... pretty certain too :D

Yes, yes that's exactly it :D

I'm glad we agree on that.

And, y'know, clearly the evil part of the body that's planning to blow everything to bits with a giant kidney-stone is Kolya.

I think it is now conclusively proven that this movie can, in fact, be made John-and-Rodney.

:D

I will admit to be proven wrong on this. Clearly I have underestimated SGA, and I would like to think that I have learned and will not do so again. ever. :D

Yes, well, Rodney's just happy you learned your lesson.

Finally.

;)
