I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

There is something about Brad's hands that just KILL me ded in every flick, even the ones where I don't find him otherwise attractive.

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

I'm not going to up and link to pages of mine that have ads, because that feels spammy and ick, but I do want to point out that handson has 18 pictures of Brad Pitt.

I know ita, oh boy do I know. And I thank you from the bottom of my hot and sweaty soul.

Thrive to spite them

Brokeback Mountain has made it here -- a couple weeks before they said it was going to get here. The cover of the weekend section was one of the publicity pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to go see this tomorrow.

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

I was skeeved out by him in Troy.

Who was not skeevy in Troy? Be honest, now. The Starlight Express outfits were not doing anybody much good, and don't get me started on the hair.

I think Brad Pitt makes a much better ironic character than he does a heartfelt character. Playing a role straight seems to lead to expressions of constipation.

Always Anti-fascist!

yeah, you know, now that you mention it...

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

I think Sean Bean overcame a great deal stacked against him. And I think that at least Orlando was supposed to look spineless and a touch puling.

Which was kinda hot.

I'll volunteer to be skeeved by this anytime.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Who was not skeevy in Troy? Be honest, now.

Wasn't skeeved by Sean Bean. Granted, the Greco!Mullet wasn't doing him any favors, but I've been dying for a remake of Odysseus ever since.

(eta: any x-post with ita is good...)

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.

Ooh. A non-sucky Odyssey staring Sean Bean would be awesome. He was about the only character I really liked in Troy. Well, Eric Bana's Hector was cool too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought Pitt was supposed to be skeevy in Troy-- he was perfectly cast as an analogue of the vapid but but mysteriously compelling celebrity.
