Right, so I was going to read Ulysses (Lestrygonians! Bloom angst!), but I got a little sidetracked and decided to try to work out a cast for a film version. The problem being, I don't know all that many Irish actors. Right now I've got Gabriel Byrne for Bloom, and I think he could pull it off, except that he's too damn hot (this is the last time you'll ever hear me say that, rest assured). But now I'm looking for some Bloomish pics of him, which I will hotlink because my FTP hates me.

And another problem: his screen presence. You can tell from his pictures that he'd dominate (no jokes, please) every scene.

EDIT: And now I'm back to wanting to slash Verbal and Keaton. Oh dear.
