I realize that I'm one of about 5 people that liked Reign of Fire, but he did repressed seething in that pretty well.
I'm another one. *raises hand and waves*
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also liked it, but I prefer to view it as a post-colonial discussion.

I liked Reign of Fire too. Here be dragons!

I liked it too. I didn't want to marry it, but I liked it fine.

Christian Bale is a very good actor. I look forward to seeing him as Bats.

I'm glad to hear others of you liked it. Almost everyone Pete & I know thought we had gone insane when we said we liked RoF.

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.
There were parts of RoF I liked, but overall I was extremely disappointed with it. My favorite part is probably when they do the play for the kids.
Speaking of Kilmer, did anyone else get a Kilmer-as-Mad Martigan-vibe off of the Groosalug before Cordy cleaned him up? (In appearance, not behavior.)

I liked Reign of Fire too, though I had to turn off certain logic-bearing parts of my brain when they were giving "scientific explanations" for the dragons.
Bah. He looks generic. George Clooney and Val Kilmer are WAY hotter.
Steph is dead to me now.
The role I've seen him in most often, it called for it. The CB in my head is an awkward young gay boy with horrible outfits and a dopey grin.
You forgot the mullet hair. (shudder) But I think the awkwardness was pretty well counterpointed by his portrayal of 1980s-era Arthur in that same film.
Isn't that what he usually plays?
He's played gay exactly once in his film work. Possibly twice if there was an unexpected revelation about his character in Newsies after the point where my obsessive fandom met the limits of its endurance.

He looks very Jack Davenport in that picture.

Doesn't he? I'll never understand how Ewan's character could avoid flinging the table aside and jumping Arthur in that scene, when he was perfectly happy to do so when he looked like this.
