You beautiful lanky stringbean*
Apr. 21st, 2008 11:53 pmI got nothin' but a meme, folks. Appologies, but it's been one of those "Let's Be Completely Unproductive" Days. Procrastination-wise, it's been pretty good. (My gods, did
ihasatardis explode last night. Too many posts!)
Well, that and I watched David Tennant in LA Without a Map last night. It's alright most of the time, although it has two amazing high-points. One is a scene (starting at 5:00) with both - brace yourselves - David Tennant and Johnny Depp. I didn't know where to look! Guh indeed. And the other amazing high-point of a scene (start about 4:50) was where David broke my heart, damn him, with two words and a sad face. "Just you." I near cried, I did. And then his little, "Yeah". (Ok, ok, I'm sort of misty-eyed now.) Oh, and there was a plentitude of freckles. I squeed.
Am slightly disturbed at a little trend I'm seeing with David's roles... In Blackpool, he seduces a married woman with some crazy talk and slight stalking. In LA Without A Map, he flies to LA to stalk a woman he spent an afternoon with. In Secret Smile, he's a bona fide creepy-ass pyshopathic stalker. And yet, only in Secret Smile is it seriously off-putting in the "Die! Tennant-character! Die inna fire!". *shiver* Watching that film - watching stalker-boy Brendon - was worse than many a horror movie. (Barty Crouch was just too distracting with his flickering tongue to get more than a "For gods' sake man, keep that in!" reaction than my thinking him evil. Plus, he's got major brownie points for the ferret stunt.)
And one other thing, while I'm on the Tennant-theme. (Sorry for gushing 'bout the man, folks.) Never has a single person made me say so often, and with such ardor, "This man is a wonderful, wonderful person." In the most general and all-encompassing way. Honestly, I just get all *warm glow* and *continuous "aaawww"* and *blinded by the optimism and genuine enjoyment* Don't believe me? Doctor Who video diary Series 2 and Series 3. (And I link again, Article: "The Nicest Bloke in Showbiz".)
One final thing, because I know I'll forget and damn it, this deserves at least a considerations. David Tennant's taking a break from Doctor Who to play Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare Company in, I'm presuming, London. This is not that far! I would so totally take a trip for that. (Organization would be key, and I can just see my full-time course fucking me over with that.)
...omg.
blizzardcake! If, if, if like, omg, if I go visit, and, and, and we can go, would you go with? In the entirely hypothetical, this totally isn't going to happen, way? Yes? Yes?
And then Japan?
Neil Gaiman, on the other hand, holds the record for number of times I've said, "This man is just way too freaking awesome." Second place is held by
ursulav, who is an awesome lady.

ETA: I just remembered! I had an awesome dream involving John Simm and close proximity of the whoot variety and then alarm (cell-phone) beeped at me that it was dying and I woke up and the dream is gone! Gone! But it must've been awesome. (As if that makes me feel better. *pout*)
