Plus, that whole 'comes from Australia' thing is clearly suspect. Far away enough that no one will check up on the backstory, but sounds comfortable and nonthreatening to American audiences.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

move out and draw fire
And it's almost as good as being American.

I think they expect most people to think Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe. Instead, Buffistas are probably wondering if he's venomous or can lay eggs.

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

Or both! Don't sell Aussie wildlife short.

Don't sell Aussie wildlife short.
Although, if anyone was laying eggs in someone in the Cruise/Kidman relationship, I'm inclined to think it was Cruise.

I saw Terminator Salvation with my friend Marcia, and we both liked Worthington in that. Not in a "what a master thespian" way, but I thought he was charismatic. And normally we don't have the same taste in eye-candy at all. However, we have since discussed the fact that we seem to be the only people who liked him in that... or anything else.
But there is something weirdly generic about his face, 'cause I've seen pictures that I knew were of him, and I still was like, "Really? Huh. ...Oh, his hair's different!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I also liked him in that. And I thought he was good in Avatar too. So...there's that.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I liked him better in Terminator better than anything else. Which I guess is something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anti-racebending. Let the uproar begin.

...Well, well. That should be interesting. And/or awesome.
