"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

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.

Hey. New board.

I love Ever After with an undying love. Also, its trailer.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

...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....

I liked Ever After too. Liked that Dougray Scott's character was basically kinda feckless and self-absorbed but that Cinderella loved him anyway.

Plus, she rescued him, and then she rescued herself. What's not to love?

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

Paperback Hero was kinda cute. Romantic more than comedy, but cute.

Compassionately intolerant

While I have to confess that my first foray into Farscape dvds did not result in fanfection, the movie looks kinda fun.

If I only had a brain...

It used to be that a gentleman never jilted a lady, period, end.

So in older movies, the gentleman hopes to annoy the lady so much that she will jilt him. This provides the romantic tension when he's in love with lady A but betrothed to lady B. See, for instance, Holiday, where Cary Grant is in love with Katherine Hepburn but betrothed to her bitchy older sister.

Man, I still need to see Holiday.

I need to see it too. I have a huge urge to see the entire jilting oeuvre, although I know most of it will make me scream.
