OMG - good omens as a movie! Robin Williams or Alan Rickman would work well as Aziraphale (only because Alan Rickman played such a good Metatron in Dogma) - but I could see Johnny Depp as Crowley - esp. if directed by Terry Gilliam. I only saw the first of the Pirates movies though so I am not so familiar with the character! I could also see John Leguziamo (sp) as Famine... please Mr Gilliam.

BW, I was the same with Harry Potter, and avoided it for years. When I finally caved I was hooked within a paragraph.
