Saw the NTLive broadcast of this terrific production with Janet McTeer and Dominic West. Could easily see Liev Schreiber in West's place as Valmont. McTeer was priceless.
Dude, that's fine. But my point wasn't that no one, least of all you, could possibly find Malkovich sexy. Rather it was that in my experience most people find Liev Schreiber far more alluring than the John Malkovich of Dangerous Liaisons.
Why do I say this? Because I know several people who find Liev Schreiber to be sexy as hell. And several people who find And found John Malkovich not at all hot; in fact many who found his casting as Valmont challenging.
While we are on the subject what exactly do you find androgynous about Malkovich?
Kind of stupid to say he's not hot. I mean it's subjective? And I think most of the time, the audience will believe what we're told: i.e. this character is the attractive one in the show, etc.
This is one of my most anticipated for the season. I am a HUGE Schreiber fan and I love this play. I went to the box office to get my ticket for the 2nd preview yesterday and the attendant was super friendly and said we were in for a treat. Who knows how much she's been able to glimpse of rehearsals or tech or anything, but I thought it was sweet and really got me (even more) excited.
