He is so much hotter than the other guy.
Oh, yeah.
If Clive Owen is considered too workmanlike for Bond, I can't see Statham doing any better -- he's rugged with muscles wedged into his crags.
Maybe you're looking for Xander from XXX?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

Statham would totally be the London thug version of Bond.
I'd watch his Bond movies a LOT.

Gack. Snickle.
Um. No.
I can't believe I actually saw XXX in the theatre.
But, now that you mention it, that Marton Csokas is awfully droolworthy.
eta: and DAMN!

I'm glad I saw XXX in the theatre. Because his shoulders deserved that magnification.
I think Statham's Bond would do more grunting than smooth-talking.

Because that's a different franchise.

Danny, yes! Danny is THE HOTT.
Tom angsts nicely, but Danny is way hotter.

Gotta run off to work but that Marton photo is making me swoony.
Must. Focus.

move out and draw fire
More than wu-shu? That was my first thought.
I do not know this "wu-shu." I will investigate.

Dammit, late to the discussion about The Crow.
Visually, I think the focus on the industrial style dates it a bit, but I imagine it's sort of an ur-text for many latter-day gothy types.
Actually, the industrial style shown in the movie is pretty much the main look in the Seattle gothy/industrial scene. Other city's subculture clubs may vary.
Not enough to dress up like anyone in it
I still need to do this, so badly. Don't tell Jilli.
ita, you are the ONLY person who has my whole-hearted approval for dressing up like the Crow. Just make sure your eye makeup is symmetrical.
I really need to own The Crow on DVD. I haven't seen it in years and years and years. I bet I will still get all sniffly at the ending, 'cos I do when I re-read the (original) comic. Even if I don't get all sniffly when I watch the movie again, it will make me all sorts of nostalgic for the late 80s/early 90s Goth scene.
