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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Zombie!James Doohan!

Now tagless for your comfort.

We just saw American Splendor and it was fucking awesome.

The Flick Filosopher has an entertaining review of The Island. She's definitely a Sean Bean fangirl ("Frankly, Sean Bean could have done with some fetishizing here, too, but he is the villain after all, and I suppose that cars bursting into flame are morality neutral and hence appropriate for fetishizing while it would simply be wrong to visually worship bad guys. Except... it's Sean Bean!), and in fact, appreciates all the pretty:

For an action movie, The Island really is like a supermodel convention, as Handsome Dr. Evil (Bean: National Treasure, Troy) hires Beautiful Mercenary (Djimon Hounsou: Beauty Shop, Constantine) to retrieve Gorgeous Rebel (McGregor) and Even More Gorgeous Tagalong Movie Girl With Nothing To Do But Look Fabulous (Johansson).

"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

Huh. I actually don't think of Ewan as gorgeous. He's sexy as hell, but it's mostly personality—I'd say at best he's goodlooking in an odd sort of way.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Speaking of Alexis Denisof, but only peripherally, I read an interview with J. August Richards two-three years ago in which he said he would love to be the first black James Bond. Take that for what you will.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Denisof should get it, but Angel just didn't have the profile. He's by far the best candidate. Lester I always backed, but have been convinced that he's too cerebral and not tough enough. 10 years ago they should have given it to Sean Bean (his baddie in Goldeneye was pretty much the textbook of how bond should be), now I dunno - Clive Owen's too common, Daniel Craig looks like a badly shaved monkey, Rhys-Meyers is too effete, Paul Bettany wouldn't do it, Chilwan Etyofor is too glum plus I can't spell his name, Ewan is too short and jolly and wouldn't take another iconic role...

move out and draw fire

They need to cast a CGI young Sean Connery.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

What about Matthew MacFadyen?

(Fine, yes. I'm pulling attractive dark haired actors out of my ass, but at least I've moved back across the ocean from Canada.)

(Though I'm still loving the Paul Gross notion.)

(I mean, c'mon! Paul Gross! In a tux! What's not to love?)
