Gotta run off to work but that Marton photo is making me swoony.
Must. Focus.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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.

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.

If the Rhys-Myers running doesn't remove him from the field, we could get Sean Maher. He does debonair quite well, though I'm not sure I'd buy him killing anyone.

Possible Bonds, eh?
Damian Lewis, Paul Bettany, James Purefoy, Jeremy Northam? At a stretch - Johnny Lee Miller.
I could do this all night.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Dominic West?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
In the 80's, when they couldn't get Pierce Brosnan, but before they picked Dalton, they gave serious consideration to Christopher Reeve.

To my eternal shame, I had to look up Dominic West on the IMDB. I have seen him in precisely nothing, methinks. He does rather look the part though, which I think is half the battle.

[smacks forehead] How could Northam have escaped my mind in a discussion of possible Bonds? He's perfect.
