I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wait, you think Travolta is smug onscreen, yet you like The ROCK? Now, I like both of them, but I think they have the same "check me out" vibe.

Maybe, but one of them is actually worth checking out, and the other one is smarmy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The only actor I cannot stand is Annette Bening. I can't see her in a commercial or sound bite without muttering my Bening hatred. I don't know where it came from, but there it is.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I liked Cumming in X-Men, but then I really liked Nightcrawler in the comics, and I thought he did a decent job with him. I'm more of a character luster than an actor luster.

This is me. My favorite Nightcrawler bit in the movie was his first scene teleporting through the White House to the Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem. I think that's actually my favorite part.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Maybe he should only work on projects that start with a B?

But then you lose Splash!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Well, I wasn't proposing that he go back and retroactively alter work he's actually done. Surely even Hanks wasn't that crazy about the similar theme of Gump.

I have a plan.

And 'Turner and Hooch'.

I have nothing to comment on actorwise.

However, my egg & cheese sandwich is HUUUGE. And it is on rosemary bread. Very rosemary bread. I'm gonna smell nice all day.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Timelies,

I am pretty neutral on Hanks, Roberts, Ryan and Travolta. Whether or not they are in a movie has no influence on whether or not I see it or enjoy it. Haven't seen much of anything the Rock was in, so I can't make judgements.

That said, I do love Big and The Burbs.

Haven't seen Alan Cumming anywhere but X-2, though I enjoyed him it. Also big on the Nightcrawler love and I think he did the character justice. (Again, I think one of the reasons I liked X-Men:Evolution so much was I really liked a majority of the X-Men they used (especially Nightcrawler, Kitty and Rogue, with Wolverine, Storm and Beast rounding it out for me.) and didn't hate any of them. Though it's a shame they ended up using Gambit and Colussus as bad guys.

It pretty much always takes me an hour to get ready, not matter how much I try to hurry or not. I just can't get myself moving that fast immediately upon waking up. It never seems like it's that long, though.

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

you think Travolta is smug onscreen, yet you like The ROCK?

I never got the impression that The Rock buys his own press. He's seemed such a warm and mellow and modest guy in interview, and perfectly willing to shed his WWF persona at the drop of a hat to mock himself.

Travolta is the avatar of smug for me, and recent Hanks is the summation of smarm. No Hanks projects have actually touched me, but it sure seems like that's the love-me, feel-me, I-am-everyman thing he has going.

Oh, and Cumming's Nightcrawler was not the Nightcrawler I have a crush on. Serviceable, but separate.
