Eh. At least she's British. Imagine ScarJo with a cockney accent.

I have this irrational dislike of ScarJo. She was great in Ghost World but in everything else I've seen her in she's pretty vacant. I'm also irrationally upset that Ryan Reynolds married her.

I actually really, really love Keira Knightley and I think she'd do really well in the part. She gets a lot of hate but WHATEVER I LOVE HER. Emma Thompson writing the script is A+.

Ryan should have married someone cooler.

I KNOW. I LOVE HER, TOO. <3 <3 Emma Thompson can do no wrong.

Kiera seems totally wrong too. Meh. I don't like it.

Of course, I always have trouble with My Fair Lady because I absolutely HATE the character of Henry Higgins.

They would never really top Audrey Hepburn, anyway.

Ha, Henry Higgins is a douche. Still, I love the play/film!
