• Then there was surprise Saffron Joan Christina Hendricks on my tumblr dash, and my inner!Urq went GUH!!! immediately and started to drool...

Me too. He totally deserved to win anything there is to win (an Internet) for his preformance as the Leper King in 'Kingdom Of Heaven'? You don't even get to see his face. That was the year when they had great actors performing in masks, same as Agent Elrond (as the Nazgul and I call him) as V in 'V for Vendetta'.

[paceisthetrick]

I loved him in Kingdom of Heaven! And did you see Primal Fear? And Red Dragon? The Illusionist? Yeah, total stan. :)

[yakalskovich]

Of these, only 'Red Dragon'. Seems I'll have to trawl Falk the Metropolitan for more Edward Norton movies. Starting with the Hulk probably after all...

[paceisthetrick]

He's been in so much more!

http://www.edward-norton.org/film.html

I have seen almost all. :)

[paceisthetrick]

If you haven't seen American History X, I strongly recommend it! He is a young student who falls under the sway of his leftist teacher. His father starts to point out problems with the theories the man espouses and soon thereafter he falls under the spell of neo-Nazis. He winds up killing an African-American, smashing his head repeatedly against the sidewalk.

The story is about the changes he undergoes. BRILLIANT!

[yakalskovich]

Wow. Yep. Definitely going to ask Falk about these.

[paceisthetrick]

That movie had a profound effect in the US as it paralled the neo-Nazi "skinhead" movement in California (the story takes places in California). "Nazi Punks" were all the rage back in the 80s.

[paceisthetrick]

BTW, he was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in that one.

[yakalskovich]

I'm already sold and will definitely watch it!

[paceisthetrick]

You won't be disappointed!

And definitely watch Primal Fear as well! That was one of his early films and he is brilliant playing a young man accused of murder.

[yakalskovich]

That is a triple feature for one of the next Sundays, then.

[paceisthetrick]

Oh yes! Ed in triplicate! *moaning*

[yakalskovich]

We usually manage three movies, especially as GoT is no longer in season now, and the Nazgul likes neither 'Mad Men' (which is over now too) nor 'True Blood'.

[paceisthetrick]

Oh
i just got GoT in the mail. Now we can squeee over it together.

[yakalskovich]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

[paceisthetrick]

I know! I can't wait! But I have to rewatch the first season entirely and then do the second one.

And first I have to beta chapters for three of you and finish my own! LOL

[yakalskovich]

Oh -- what are you writing?

[paceisthetrick]

No Night is too Long AU (slash fic, but the film was slash as well).

The one I asked you to make the manip for?

[yakalskovich]

Manip? Oh dear, which manip? I must have forgotten.

**hangs head**

I have the book somewhere, but it seemed so chock-full of ALL THE FEELS when I started reading it, I didn't even finish it...

But that was in the late nineties. For some reason, I didn't feel like feels then.

[paceisthetrick]

It's alright. lol

I'll call in the favor one day.

[paceisthetrick]

GRRM is DENSE! Like Tolkien. You have to really love detail to get through his stuff. I prefer the pithy, bare bones writers.

[yakalskovich]

Nah, 'No Night Is Too Long' -- that was the feelsy one I didn't finish because somewhere around the first quarter I got afraid I'd be bawling by the end.-

[paceisthetrick]

My strategy with such films is to watch only the parts I know I shall like. :D

I am fortunate who have friends who say, "4:10 through 15:14 is fine. The go to 27:32 up to 46:19."

lolololol

[paceisthetrick]

I am giving Ivo his HEA. It's taken me awhile to get there, but I have finally figured it out so that it is plausible.

[yakalskovich]

I'll have to find the book, read it after all, bawl my eyes out (which I don't find such a total no-no any more as I did in the late nineties) and then read your fanfic.

I have to redo ALL THE SHELVES anyway, as I can't find stuff any more.

[paceisthetrick]

Do you want me to tell you upfront so it doesn't come as a nasty shock?




























































Ivo dies. *snif*

[paceisthetrick]

Watch the movie! Marc Warren and Lee Williams and epic sex!!!!

[yakalskovich]

Aha.-

[paceisthetrick]

I mean, if you are into that sort of thing.


I am into that sort of thing. :D

[yakalskovich]

I am. But do I really need ALL THE FEELS? Perhaps the next time I'm sick and getting better and need to bawl out my sinuses. I can't ALWAYS watch 'Titanic'...

[paceisthetrick]

I still cry at Titanic, too!

Like I said, I saw the edited version. :D

[yakalskovich]

Sometimes, I HAVE to bawl. The best thing to get rid of a snotty cold that's sort of hanging on in my sinuses.

[paceisthetrick]

And there you have it! The wisdom in the ways of the world.

For instance I just learned today that sweating in 100 F (90% humidity) is really excellent for me as it is cleansing my body of toxins. That cycle of sweating and constantly drinking water will make me feel better.

Except that I don't...

Until I have showered and am in the air conditioning. :)

[yakalskovich]

I am working on the 'sweat is good' thing, too, and moving it from the domain of 'Should Not Be' to the place where things are normal, because I say so. I found that eliminating the domain of Should Not Be helped with unfucking my habitat, too.

[paceisthetrick]

Oh I forgot about the Unfucking my Habitat!

Send the link again, please? :)

Thanks! I am bookmarking it. I recall loving it when you first called it to my attention.
