Fandom 2012

[leigh57]

In the (approximate, since I lack her flair -- get it?) style of lowriseflare, my fandom wishlist for 2012:

1. for Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson to costar in a delightful two hour BBC comedy that has nothing to do with death, pain, alcoholism, or emo of any kind and in which they have metric craptons of well-acted eyesex
2. for Annie Wersching to land a monumentally badass role in a new TV show that is (for once) good, and for her costar to be hot
3. for Justified to keep doing exactly what it's doing, complete with emo!Winona, awesome!Art, lots of complicated bromance between Boyd and Raylan, and meatier storylines for Tim and Rachel
4. for Touch to be as fantabulous as it looks in this trailer. Or in lieu of that, for it to be totally terrible but still stay on TV so I can hear Kiefer talk every week:)
5. for someone to find and put all over youtube A) all the 8x17 nookie footage that hit the cutting room floor B) the gag reels from every single season of 24 or, even better, C) all of the above
6. for me to find the courage to watch the end of BSG
7. for Brandi Carlile to release a new CD already, and then come tour near my home 12 times
8. for Allison Janney to have her own show, in which she plays A) POTUS B) a lifelong New Yorker forced to relocate to Birmingham, AL, C) a bounty hunter, or D) anything

My list is actually pretty short;) What about you guys? Fandom wishes for 2012?

Oh thanks for the date! I never remember. Can't wait to finally see it!

Soooo...that means Kiefer and T.O. in one week of one another?! Oh, be still my heart. Now if Michael Fassbender and Hugh Jackman would do a duet, I could just die.

Holy fuckballs, excuse me for a second while I make sex with your icon.

Ahem.

Okay then;)

I think I must be missing something in the female genetic code, because I cannot get the Hugh Jackman thing for love or money. But that's okay.

[xbedhead.livejournal.com]

Fuckballs, eh? *G*

He does look rather spiffy in that one. I don't use it very often, but it's oh-so-pretty.

And you really are missing something. The guy is just...le sigh. Oh the things he does to my insides (and outsides, really, if I'm being honest)>

I need more icons of Kiefer's arms, is the thing. I really really do. I gotta get on that. XD

Hee, you can be honest. I'm giggling my butt off during this S7 rewatch at just how happy it makes me (all of me;) to hear Kiefer say, "The following takes place between . . ."

GUH.

And idk about Hugh Jackman. I mean to be fair, I haven't seen any of the stuff that apparently really makes the ladies (and some gents of course -- my journal is a safe space!) swoon. I should watch one and then report back. If you were going to recommend a film designed to induce Hugh Jackman lust, what would it be?

[xbedhead.livejournal.com]

Oh, you mean like these arms? *G*

The Fountain, hands down. It's wonderful for a number of reasons (Hugh Jackman's hottness aside) - the acting and chemistry from both the leads are great (can I be Rachel Weisz when I grow up, please?), the cinematography (they had me at the first sepia-toned scene), the special effects (no CGI, only sound stages, lighting tricks and blown-up clips of petri dish bacteria), the soundtrack (oh, the soundtrack - I would marry it if such unions were recognized by the state).

When you watch it, you just have to watch, don't try to figure anything about. Worry about what's actually going on during subsequent views, but the first time through, you just...let yourself be in the moment of the movie. I'm laughing at how ridiculously zen that sounds, but it's really how you have to go about it. There's so much going on that won't make sense, that you get distracted by what you don't understand instead of seeing the picture as a whole. It's kind of like, choose your own ending/meaning. For me, it's about how you can't truly live and appreciate life until you finally accept your mortality - that you won't live forever, so that you should cherish what you have here and the time you have here.

*wipes away terribly unattractive drool*

Those are the ones! That picture is my iPod wallpaper. True story.

Why have I not even heard of this movie? My pop culture rock is so damn big. But if it has Rachel Weisz, I won't have any trouble getting M to watch it;) So I'll put it in the Netflix queue. Thanks for the rec!

Do you still have this one?

The problem is that Kiefer's arms are covered with tattoos that don't always match his characters. The makeup must be a headache because touching K's arms must be such an unpleasant task! So we will always see him in long sleeves no matter the climate.

As long as the paparazzi are interesting in stalking him we should be good!

Of course I still have that one. See?

Yeah, I always thought about that when they did naked or half naked scenes with him on 24 (most of which involved torture or bioweapon infestation, woe). I'm assuming it will be less of an issue in Touch, because he has to wear worn out henleys:)

I keep forgetting that you couldn't get your hands on this one because of the weird filming time. You have to squee with the rest of us! But it will be totally fun.

[sparkles-mouse.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm so mad it wasn't around with the rest of the pilots. Looooved the script though. I actually still think about it all these months later!

I just wanna see Kiefer in absolutely no blue collar clothes;)
