Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

Someone somewhere suggested Angelina for Bond. I can get behind that. Or beneath. Or whatev.

And ...

Brosnan's neck seems to skinny for his head, and his hair is too big.

I never really thought that about Brosnan, but repeatedly during Mr & Mrs Smith thought that about Jolie.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Thank you kindly, Robin. I seem to remember for the Oscar-cast performance of the song, the jazz band had an actual refrigerator (and a bicycle) on stage.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think Angelina Jolie is not "cool" enough for Bond. Now I am trying to think of a woman who could sucessfully play Bond, but all I am pictureing now is Judi Dench.

Also, Steve Buscemi is a known hottie (at least in the circles in which I run).

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

wasn't there a tune in that bizarre French-Canadian animated movie about a bicyclist (the name is completely escaping me!) where the noise the fridge made was a major sound component?

The refrigerator's role was limited to its wire shelves being plucked or strummed or played like a xylophone. I'll have to rewatch for the umptyeth time to be really sure of which. The real star of the tune was the vacuum cleaner.

"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

He smooth and elegant, and the kind of guy whose attraction is predictable, and man oh man does it work. So so pretty.

Also, one of the more stellar examples of being a good father to be found among Hollywood stars.

He's one of the two people on the planet past the age of 50 that would get an eager yes! from me if an offer were tendered.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I don't feel the Brosnan love. Maybe it's the hair? He's a little too smooth for my taste.

Same here. He's a bit too smooth and perfect, and I like 'em on the rawboned side.

Because books.

He's a little too smooth for my taste.

He's smooth, but he's got a twinkle in his eyes, too. I generally like guy sa little rougher around the edges, but I wouldn't say no to Brosnan.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Got back from Chicago late last night. The con was fun, if a little disorganized.(No hospitality suite. Also, why did none of the book dealers selling new books have any Dennis Lehane books? He was the American Guest of Honor, and I know the Patrick/Angie books have recently been reprinted in paperback. Huh)

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

Everytime someone calls Pierce smooth and perfect, I think of this pic. I think the roles that have served him well have been smooth, but I'm not convinced that's all he is -- mostly I think he's stereotyped (but in a well paid way).


Topic!Cindy - Sep 06, 2005 8:32:15 am PDT #4923 of 10002
What is even happening?

He still looks smooth and perfect to me in that picture, and that the "roughness" is for effect.

Which also works.
