Well, he's really slippery now, so he may be easier to separate from you.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huh. I feel so left out -- to me, Clive Owen is so visually unmemorable as to be instantly forgettable. He does nothing for me on a scale that would be epic if it weren't so epically nothing. All this rampant Clive-oost is utterly bewildering to me.
I feel especially bad about this because I know I've seen him in several films and that his performances always astounded and riveted me; the actor-appreciation part of my brain hears his name and says "Oooh, yeah, SO VERY GOOD -- who is he again?" I have a vague impression of sorta-tallness and sorta-thinness and a vaguely British gaunt blondness that is slightly like the Memento guy but not really exactly.
I've resigned myself to the fact that for the entire rest of my life, every single time I'm watching a movie and sit back astounded and saying, "Wow, who the hell is that actor? He's terrific!" Hec will heave a put-upon sigh and say, "It's Clive Owen. Again."

I have no idea who he is. None.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not blonde--dark. Lovely and kinda beaten-up face.

DX, have you heard the Thunderbirds scuttlebutt?
JZ -- this might be an example of you forgetting, but Clive's not gaunt, especially not compared to Guy Pearce who could give S6 Spike a run for his money. Well, a sit-down-and-ingest-fluids for his money. Also only blond for part of one movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He's not blond, honey.

Wasn't he blond-ish in the first Bourne movie? Or was that only because he was being German, and he isn't usually? Or was that some other actor?

No, that was the guy who attacked Bourne in the Paris apartment. Clive is the one out in the field with a rifle.
