I never saw the film, but as a child I always pictured Snicket as having a more British-sounding snark rather than Warbuton's deadpan. That may have just been the influence of Harry Potter on my generation's reading habits!

i have no idea what that means - except that you assumed Lemony Snickets = Daniel Radcliffe

I always imagined all of the characters and settings as British but that's largely because I didn't have any concept of who Daniel Handler was or where he was from.

I was wary largely because I hadn't seen Warburton do anything but the big, stupid funny characters, like Kronk, or the robot from the recent Get Smart movie, and was unsure whether he could pull off the gravitas needed. He did though, and I'm happy for it.

Handler named the characters to make its setting obscure or up to the imagination. Violet and Poe are British names, Klaus German, Sunny American, Olaf east European. I pictured it in timeless old-England because Tim Curry performed the audiobooks.

TBH in the first ep when warburton is in the shadows I thought it was John Hamm, who also would've done a good job in the role

Really enjoyed this show. It has my kind of quippy humor. I love Patrick as Snicket, but I do wish he was in it just a tad less. Sometimes when he has interjected I've found myself checking my phone.

Seeing 22 new posts in the thread I thought Parker Posey had been cast as Esme or something. (As a kid I never particularly thought about where the Baudelaires were from but I agree with the New England vibe both adaptations seem to have gone with)

Then again I always thought of Olaf as a 65+ year old man and they keep casting guys that have just hit 40 and giving them slightly grey hair.

My younger sister and I discovered the Lemony Snickets (as we called them) at the same time, and my elder, barely-pubescent mind thought Esme was a babe. I could see Esme as an Yzma-type, but i definitely chose not to. My dream casting is probably Emily Browning.

Sometimes when he has interjected I've found myself checking my phone. I don't mind Patrick as Snicket (though honestly I feel like Daniel Handler should've played him) but I don't like how we can see his face. One of the gags from the series is that we never see Snicket's face, even in the prequel series when we get pictures of what's going on, he's facing away from us or is inexplicably in shadow.

Why are we calling Neil Patrick Harris just Patrick now? Has that even been a thing before? Did he pick it up from his acting buddies Lee and Lee? (Tommy Lee Jones, Jamie Lee Curtis)

I god I'm so dumb.  For whatever reason his name got stuck in my head at Peter Warburton years ago and no matter what I do I can't seem to correct it.

I like the moments when he's interacted with, like when he's describing something outside of Justice Strauss's home and she is taking groceries inside. She just briefly glances at Snickett thinking "What the gently caress is he muttering about? "

precision posted:The new live action Tick is (was?) really good. I didn't realize any of it was available so I looked it up, only the pilot has been released, but apparently they're filming a full season. I watched the pilot. Sweet mother of god it might have been the absolute worst thing I've ever seen. Arthur has a grimdark back story and everyone thinks he's crazy and he's on meds and so messed up he needs a legal guardian. His suit has some sleek modern makeover and is full of tech poo poo. I think the Tick might have made like two jokes, one in each of the two scenes he was in. The show was too busy showing us a flashback of how Arthur's father was murdered in front of him as a child. It's like whoever is making the DC movies wrote it. It was kinda heartbreaking to watch.

The Tim Curry audiobooks were how I got into the series as a teenager. I had read a couple books as a kid, but I wasn't fully invested. His Count Olaf is genuinely terrifying.

Clue. The correct answer is Clue. Also, between Pennywise and Legend this guy basically WAS my childhood nightmares.
