Let's Refrain From Jokes About A Phoenix Rising: An (Even Geekier Than Usual, Which Is Saying Something) Online Transcript

Rob: is it just me, or is ginny book-hot?
me: yeah, she is. if she gets hurt, i'm gonna be upset
Rob: what's weird is how un-hot she is in the movie(s)
they're going to have to do a hell of a makeup job to make that work
or re-cast
i'm thinking isla fisher
me: haha
i can't remember what the girl who plays her looks like
but isla fisher would be great
Rob: let me help you out
[sends this link]
not hot
and that's a freakin headshot
aka "this is the best you get"
me: aw
Rob: i mean, she's okay looking
but the character is supposed to be hot
me: [sends this link]
she looks a little better there
older, anyway
but also hidden
Rob: yes
and i disagree, she does not look hotter there
me: haha
Rob: we have that one-sheet in our office
i think she's going to have a lot of bang action going on
to hide her face
and it's not going to work
me: i think it can work
Rob: sure for british standards she's hot. she has all her teeth and they're pointing in the right direction
that equals jessica alba in britain
me: true
Rob: i just think book ginny is hotter than movie ginny
have i given this too much thought?
probably
am i a big nerd for instigating this conversation?
definitely
me: no
she's book-hot
you're right on that one
Rob: and book ginny can do amazing things w/ her tongue
movie ginny — it just lays there like a limp slug in her mouth
me: what the
Rob: er
me: you should know i plan to publish this conversation
Rob: that's okay. (you know it's true about book ginny)

I have no idea what y'all are talking about, but having clicked on the links I learned that this person was born in 1991. That makes her 16. That makes this whole conversation a bit creepier.

Rob started it.

I thoroughly aggre with you. Book-Ginny is WAY hotter than Movie-Ginny. As far as the tongue thing... well now I'm a bit jealous because I have not been fortunate enough to know first-hand about Book-Ginny OR Movie-Ginny's tongue gymnastics. Rob's also right about her not looking any hotter. And though they should for her, I have gigantic doubts that they'll re-cast any roles. *Sigh* At least we'll always have Book-Ginny...
