I like to see Helena Bonham-Carter floating above her skirt.   But I like to see her enjoying any of her roles.

Vlad has been feeling old lately.    I expect that trend to continue, we want an actor who ages well.    One problem with Johnny Depp is that he is pretty effeminate.   He runs like a girl who has never competed in sports.    Vlad needs to be quick and athletic.    But there aren't many Sean Conneries around.
