I know that. I’m sure I will hate her in it and it will break the spell.
See, I have a deeply childish side that my ability to rationalize has very little control over. I used to go to small playhouses a lot… one just opened near me oddly enough (playing cinderalla for it’s first show, I’m not watching Cinderella). The one by my old base in Alaska got used to me showing up everytime a new show would open, so the director invited me to a after hours party. I’m not a party person. I can host a party just fine, but dammit, never invite me. I turn into a wallflower, not because of low self esteem as is culturally presumed, but because my social capacity goes numb and us easily overwhelmed. I get aloof, want to leave, standing clenched fist or grinding my teeth.
Think Mr. Darcy, or James Bond… both INTJs (personality)… bad at parties unless in a mission.
So I’m at this party, know they are actors… they start talking. Accents… different. I knew this on a intellectual level, but a part of me was still shocked. I didn’t like it. They completely changed their character, and I was a fish out of water.
I like my actors staying typed casted. Makes it easier on me. I don’t like hearing Nicole Kidman talk like a normal American, then switch to a crazy Australian accent. I’m like ahhahaghghhhhh when I hear that. Why? I don’t know, and I usually know these things.
If I see her acting as a different person, that attraction is likely to collapse. Of course I know Jenna isn’t Clara, but a primitive aspect of me doesn’t.
I can only play the dynamic social extrovert when I have a clear mission at hand. I can’t do it otherwise. I can’t juggle women being Jekyll and Hyde in terms of attraction, and every actress wants to be just that.
Like, I never watched another Keira Knightley movie after Pride and Prejudice, as I’m content to leave her adorable in that movie. Unfortunately, I saw her in a movie as a angry Dyke mercenary… Domino… so I’m worried if I ever end up in a relationship with a woman like her in Pride and Prejudice… which sounds great… She can turn at anytime into a angry gun fitting bitch raging against society rmtdying to kill me.
Now like, this is admittedly women in general. They do both, but it bothers me. I don’t want to look at a friendly face I’m melting over, and wake up next to a psychotic years later. I wish I never saw Domino.
