Well, I voted. Now I officially have the right to complain about whatever happens.

Last night's Sean Bean movie was Essex Boys. Sean plays an incredibly creepy criminal; it's a testament to his acting ability that I was thoroughly convinced by the creepiness. He was still hot, at least, which made the movie somewhat enjoyable. Overall it was pretty pointless, though, and clearly biased in favor of the narrator. And the whole thing left me feeling kind of icky.

I am going to go fight election nervousness by watching Alice in Chains videos. And possibly "Veronica Mars" or the other Sean Bean movie, "Fool's Gold." And definitely the Daily Show / Colbert Report thingy tonight.

Yeah, Essex Boys is definitely not the feel-good movie of the year, that's for sure. I felt like I needed a shower after that rape-to-death scene. With a wire brush. But he's always so good, even when he's bad...

But he's always so good, even when he's bad.

It's true; he's such an amazing actor. And so very, very attractive.

I think this was the first movie where I actually wasn't rooting for his character. I was totally on board with the terrorist in "Patriot Games" and the supervillain in "GoldenEye," but I suppose rape/murder crosses some kind of moral line for me (who knew?).

And yet still, he played the character with such depth. (*adores Sean Bean*)
