Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Reign of Fire. Pretty much the only redeeming scene in the movie

How can you discount the shirtless scenes? What sort of film connoisseur are you?

Racing to the end to reply to the first, I should have known ita would have it covered. Loved that movie, cheesefest that it was. Bale, McConaughey, plus, Gerald Gardner Butler! (what was I thinking?) Often shirtless. (And yes, Siddig, too.)

Glad to hear Deena's dad is improved. Behold, the power of -ma!

Reign of Fire also had Alexander Siddig, sexily bearded.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I enjoyed Reign of Fire muchly based on shirtlessness alone.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So, wait, are y'all saying there was shirtlessness involved?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So, wait, are y'all saying there was shirtlessness involved?

They should've called it Shirts on Fire.

Shirts on Fire and Too Many Beards. Oh, and One Annoying Blonde Chick and a Pretty Good CGI Dragon.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So, wait, are y'all saying there was shirtlessness involved?

In my plan, we are shirtless.

Yeah, Bale could definitely have lost that beard and I would have been happier. IMO, Siddig looked hotter with one, though.

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

That movie was basically a bizarro Ralph Lauren campaign, with some random plot elements interspersed. You know, the my-peeps-were-savaged-by-a-dragon look, the beautiful trauma, the char effects on artfully-distressed sweaters, the washboard abs, the tattoos. There were even children, although they were not posed in vaguely pornographic style in their underwear.

I'm only sorry that they had to kill the dragons, and did not get to have telepathic friendships with them (perchance to go riding).

However, there was a pony. Or, more like a Clydesdale. It even survived to the end!

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

No, no, no.

Reign Of Fire was a presentation of post-colonial dynamics, sans shirts, plus beasties. Really, I might have gone into the social sciences if there were more well-considered lacks of shirts.
