James Mason = incredibly foamy British actor with a lovely voice whose career spanned 5 decades on both sides of the Atlantic. Often played dark, brooding & doomed antihero (see "Odd Man Out", "The Man Between", etc. ::swoons::) or some sadistic madman/genius/pervert (see "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "Lolita"), and sometime both ("The Seventh Veil"). His career declined a bit in the last two decades of his life, but he was always immensely watchable.

My James Mason oost was triggered by "The Desert Fox." That's one movie I wouldn't mind seeing remade, just as long as they got Ed Harris to take the lead role.
BTW, can anyone recommend some good crossovers? HoYay and smut not required. (On that note, it's hard to find good x-overs that actually branch out of what would happen if certain groups of characters were to meet or out of possible connections between two fictional universes.)
Oh, what's the name of the good Buffy/Dark Angel crossover? The one with Faith in it. I tried google, but no luck.
watched Family Guy tonight and realised, with horror, that I was actually starting to quite fancy Stewy. Er. In a non-scary way - perhaps I should say adore rather than fancy. It's just...nappie-clad criminal mastermind with that whole fruity James Mason voice going on and the woobieness of being so ickle - what's not to love?
Oh, HELL yeah, Fay! I *love* Stewie! (In the adore sense.)
Hey, she stole that from Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep!
Actually, I think she stole it from Neuromancer...
"The sky was the color of..."
Oh, what's the name of the good Buffy/Dark Angel crossover? The one with Faith in it.
Hth's Witness.
My James Mason-oost was triggered by his turn in North By Northwest. And, I noticed somewhat tardily, he's got big ol' HoYay with Martin Landau.
Tsk, Betsy. I noticed that the first time I saw it, years before I ran across actual slash fiction. :-)
That sounds like how I felt about Ben-Hur when I saw it at 19. My friends were aghast I hadn't seen it, and they sat me down to watch it, and when the intermission between tapes came, I was like, "So.... gay?" And they all sort of looked at each other and said, "I don't remember it being like this when I was a kid."
Oh, gods, you want HoYah, watch "Spartacus", with that Roman official drooling none too subtly over Tony Curtis.
