Yay! Marsters Wank!

[rusty_halo]

Christmas has come early! It's Marsters wank! Here, here, here, and here.

I'm at least as amused by all the fangirls jumping to defend poor, misunderstood James as I am by the king of pretentious cluelessness, Marsters himself.

Last night's Sean Bean movie was A Woman's Guide to Adultery. I got through a half hour, then I had to fast forward and just watch the Sean Bean scenes. I don't know if I've ever seen a more annoying movie. My understanding of the plot is that a whole bunch of self-absorbed morons ramble on incessantly. Also, they cheat on their spouses and get punished for being awful people. But not even in a fun way, in a endless talky boring way.

On the plus side, Sean Bean was naked, and a major plot point was a photo of his ass that they kept showing. Yay! Also he was young and gorgeous and arrogant, which makes him extra hot. On the minus side, his haircut made my eyes burn. Mullets are not attractive. Ever. On anyone.

I should probably just stop on this Sean Bean marathon and watch "Extremely Dangerous," "Stormy Monday," and "Sharpe" a few more times instead. What's next in my Netflix queue? "Troy"? "North Country"? "Black Beauty"?? "Scarlett"??? Gaah!!! Help!!!!

I did take a break from Sean Bean movies and rented The Living Daylights, the first Timothy Dalton Bond movie. I actually liked this better than expected. Timothy Dalton was ahead of his time with a harder-edged Bond. He was pretty hot, too, but weird looking. The movie itself was okay, a product of its time with an AIDS-inspired monogamous Bond. It felt really dated, though, particularly with its Russian villains and Afghan heroes. But it was entertaining enough.

There's been lots of wank this week! Christmas has indeed come early!

Did I miss other wank? Marsters wank is the best. :) Well, except for Harry Potter wank; between Snape, Harmoanians, and BNFs, it pretty much wins at wank.

Since I was raised Methodist, crazy Christian cracks do sting a little bit.

But I never mistook Marsters for a genius, or for a personal friend. If he wants to post silly shit on his website, whatever.

I just find it amazing that enough people still care enough about him to notice this. I guess I'm much more fickle when it comes to my fannish interests.

what? you don't appreciate his clever and witty irony? his alliterative genius?

heh

you caught up on dexter? do a post! nobody on my FL is talking about it, and i never look elsewhere for discourse.

[chase820.livejournal.com]

I still need to watch Dexter 9 and 10. I plan to do that this evening.

Hee! You know what Bean’s said himself about “A Woman’s Guide”? “I were crap in it.” Which I think is a little unfair, because actually the movie itself was crap!!

Now, let’s see – I think I can give you better Beanie choices than that. Have you seen “Bravo Two Zero” (it’s pretty good for what it is – being a British film about the first Iraq war, it’s alla bout a failed mission rather than a successful one!); “The Big Empty” (Bean as mysterious, possibly alien cowboy); or I can loan you some of my R2 films like “Anna karenina” and “Caravaggio” :P

Yeah, the movie was crap. He was fine; he did his best given the pointlessness of his character.

I saw "Brave Two Zero." I figured out afterward that it was based on a true story, which must explain why there wasn't really much of a "plot," just a depressing thing that happened. I think the recent prominence of torture in the news has killed a lot of the h/c enjoyment I might've otherwise gotten from that film. It left me feeling miserable and wanting to cry.

"The Big Empty"--is that good? I'll move it up in my queue.

Yes! Loan me the ones that Netflix doesn't have! Please? :) Of course we have to actually see each other to do that... *hint* *hint*.

Hee! I just think he's such a sweetie to take the blame for that badness on himself :P

I find "Bravo Two Zero" really depressing too - I think it's partly because Bean's a really good actor, so all of that actually looks like it really *hurts.* I've only watched it the one time...

"The Big Empty" is ... entertaining and I thought it was quite fun to watch.

And I see no reason why we can't meet up at least for a coffee before New Years :P

The first Dalton movie wasn't half bad. The second... wasn't either. More like 3/4ths. Maybe more.

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

I must be the only person in the world who liked "License to Kill" best of the Dalton movies. Weird. And I never expected to like them at all!

[ludditerobot.livejournal.com]

The front was too Magnum PI (although the scene in the Hemmingway house? Cool); the pilot Bond girl, even by Bond girl standards, would be stuck forever in any paper back she had to act her way through; the final chase was washed out and dragged on too long; and all the interior sets in faux-Panama were too Dynasty for words. Plus, the continuing issue that to make it a Bond problem you should really make it a Britain problem, not a USA problem.

And he lost that license a third of the way in.

Other than that, and Wayne Newton, it was ... passable.

HAHAHAHAHA. Thank you so much for bringing the awesome wank to my attention. Marsters is a moron, and the fans are funny! How's that for alliteration? (Also, just a gentle FYI, the second link, to spikesfool's LJ, is NSFW. Meep!)

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Dude, how inured am I to fandom that I totally didn't even notice that?

[txvoodoo.livejournal.com]

*rubs hands together* such GOOD wank, too. JM fandom never lets me down :D

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Hee. It's true, JM fandom is really an endless source of entertainment.
