Damn you and your dimples!

So, I'm in a quandary about whether or not to go all prissypants about Jennifer Garner playing Miss Marple.

PROS

• Agatha Christie on the screen for me to enjoy.
  
• Jennifer Garner is adorable.

CONS

• THE WHOLE POINT OF THE MISS MARPLE CHARACTER IS THAT SHE'S A GOSSIPY OLD SPINSTER!
  
• Disney. Blech.

Also potentially influencing my opinion: several British newspapers have already gone and decided to go Full Prissypants and condemn the decision. In the end, will they irritate me more than whomever is eventually cast to play the sassy young Marple's love interest?

Anyone want to influence me one way or the other?

ETA: In the interests of full disclosure, and as a shocking illustration of my own biases, I would like to state for the record that I FULLY APPROVE of hiring some Hot Young Thing to play an updated version of Poirot. But who should it be? Hmm...

I was sort of like, "Well, I guess Jennifer Garner/whole thing getting revamped to fit could be interesting," but then I saw a TIME snipper that noted, "If they wanted a hot Miss Marple, why didn't they cast Helen Mirren?", and now I am just disappoint. :<

…/giant crush on Helen Mirren whaaat

Hell yeah Hellen Mirren! DAMN IT! I finally get new Agatha Christie to enjoy, and it is RUINED!

Overall I like Jennifer Garner, but I think I've gotta come down on the side of DNW! >:(
