I am no longer a Colin Farrell Virgin

[linden_jay]

... wow. That subject line is just... meh. Imma leave it *snerk*.

So, I've now seen Alexander and A Home at the End of the World, and I can no longer claim that I've never seen a Colin Farrell movie. t, Jess, Fiercy- I hope you're proud *blames*.

Alexander I was actually surprised with how much I didn't dislike what you were given in the movie- my main piss off was how much you weren't given. There was SO MUCH they could have done with that movie, they had the cast, they had the talent, the money, the location, the frickin' elephants. And the fact that they cut out the emotional center of the movie crippled it. I'm not saying anything that anyone who watched it a kazillion years didn't already know, but still.

A Home at the End of the World solidifies my point that Colin Farrell needs a clause in his contract that says no more doofy wigs. Like, ever. He is way too pretty to let them keep doing that to his head- it's just wrong. And good lord *sob*. Good movie. Might be a long time before I watch it again, but I was really impressed.

Next up, I have Phone Booth, Gia, A Slipping Down Life, The Hours and The English Patient. Right. Okay, so... by the time I'm done watching seventeen sad assed movies in a row, can someone please ping me until it annoys me enough that I take my head out of the oven long enough for y'all to... tell me to keep my head out of the oven? Or- even better...

Rec me your favorite movies! Happy, funny, ones your favorite actor/pup/whatever is in, whatever- but for every sad movie I get rec'd, I need at LEAST two happy or funny ones.

Oh, and PS? It's 6am, and it's already 38C, with humidity (100F). *cries*

I think it was the RL antics that kept me from watching any of his stuff before- it's happened to me with other actors, although I try to just enjoy the pretty and go 'la la la' to the nonsense. But I decided to cut Colin a break, because he just kinda says and does what a lot of people would say and do if they had the balls for it- he's a guy who wants to cuss his head off, smoke twenty packs of cigarettes a day and fuck. Like, a lot. Only person he's potentially hurting is himself, and from what I've read and heard, when he works, he shows up and he does his job and he does it well. That's all I require from an actor. Plus, he's sweet to his momma, and that makes me go awww.

I still have not seen The Price of Milk. This despite having written how much stuff with Harry and Karl and playing Harry in an RPG for almost two years! I've never lived in a city where I could get it, and even now that I have Canflix, they don't have it! I just have to suck it up and find it online, methinks.

Yeah, Russell Crowe's another one I say great talent, no thanks offscreen. I'm trying to get to the point where they won't put me off seeing a movie, but it's hard.

The Price of Milk is wonderful! I ended up getting off Amazon -- so hard to find in brick-and-mortar.
