Angelus ,'Smile Time'
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.
He is that, but I'm still extremely glad that he was so busy filimg MI:2 that he couldn't take the part of Wolverine in X-Men that was offered to him.
Dougray Scott in Ever After is equivalent to Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club.
No, stick with me. In those movies, those guys are hot. They have never, never, ever been nearly as hot in anything else, for whatever reason.
Heh. I'll give you Judd Nelson, but Dougray's career is still kind of young, no? And while I didn't find him precisely hot in "Enigma", I didn't find him repulsive or anything. Well, I have to say that he was sadly outshined by Kate Winslet (despite the fact she was playing someone allegedly dowdy. As if!), Jeremy Northam, and then-unknown-to-me Matthew MacFadyen (who played the officer whose face was tragically disfigured during combat), on whom I developed a rather violent crush. I think it was that voice. Plus, the eye-patch.
No, no, not repulsive at all, and I quite liked him in Enigma. But did he have the magical level of hotness in Ever After? Nope.
Enigma. Another too-convincing Dougray crazy. He did a great job making me believe he had gone 'round the twist. Fascinating but not attractive to me.
Did My Best Friend's Wedding really mean them to all be despicable? That's why I hated the movie.
I can't imagine that they did.
Dougray Scott is hot.
In Ever After, he wore tights. (Also, Drew Barrymore picked up up bodily and he managed to keep a straight face.) In Enigma, probably no tights. In Mission Impossible 2, there was macking on Thandie Newton, but no tights and anyway there was Tom Cruise to bring the picture down.
In sum, I think tights cause hotness.
It's funny, trying to imagine Scott as Wolverine. #1, as your average white man goes, he looks a lot like Hugh Jackman. In a way that is many details the same but the overall picture totally different. #2, I know Jackman already had MOVIE STAR tattooed on his forehead by then, but wasn't X-Men his first movie? Imagine what we'd feel about his hotness level if we'd first gotten to know him through a series of idiotic romantic comedies.
I love Ever After with an undying love. Also, its trailer.
...wasn't X-Men his first movie?
His first US movie. He'd done a couple in Australia, along with the tv series where he met his wife.
Paperback Hero could be called a romantic comedy...I suppose, though I've never seen it.
I'm SO glad to not be alone in my love of Ever After. When I am in a crap ass mood, I can pop that in and get lost. If I didn't have other plans tonight....
