Holy bad accent Batman!
Holy bad accent Batman!
Mar 20While lying around on Sunday afternoon in my non-functional state (I’m having major issues sleeping right now and therefore not getting much more than 3-4 hours a day) I finally broke down and watched Troy. All in all, I really enjoyed the film and the cast, with the exception of The Brad.
The Good
Eric Bana owned this film. Owned it I tell you. His character was wonderful and he was just utterly fantastic. Every moment he was on screen, I was in heaven and I was very indifferent to him before watching this film. Now, I kind of want to bear his children. 
The Bad
Brad’s accent. It came. It went. It just kind of sucked. Brad’s golden wavy locks and bronzed chiseled body glistening in the sun and/or moonlight throughout the entire film also made me unhappy and roll my eyes a few times. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan and haven’t been since about 1996 or so and I know it’s strange that I find him repulsive, but I do and there was just too much glistening Brad for my liking.
The Randomness
Diane Kruger should really think about gaining that 10-15 pounds or whatever she had to gain for the film back because she looked 1000 times better with a little more flesh on her face and a teensy bit of meat on her arms.
I never noticed how incredibly long and thin Saffron Burrows neck is. It’s really rather swan-like, but I can’t decide if that’s a good or bad thing or maybe just a little odd.
Orlando Bloom was very meh. His character is such a weenie that it was hard to be all about the Orlando.
Sean Bean was nothing less than awesome.
hi, i’m visiting this site for a while now, but it’s the first time, i’m commenting. hope, you don’t mind
1) i wouldn’t call me an eric bana fan, but i think, he has something catching. have you seen hulk or black hawk down? even he’s totally different in both roles, he makes them soo catching and belivable. (oh boy, what i’m talking about? *lol*)
2) wow, finally someone who’s not into brad pitt. i always thought he was soo boring and he’s not even ‘that’ good-looking, at all…
Hi Anca!
Comment away! It’s nice to know that people can actually comment now and it won’t all be porn spam like it was before. I’m starting to realize that WordPress does indeed kinda rock.
I couldn’t make it all the way through the Hulk, but will probably give it a second chance at some point. Gotta fuel the fangirl crush, right? I did see Black Hawk Down and really enjoyed it and thought Eric was great, but since the film revolved around everyone in it (totally loved that about it btw), Eric wasn’t a huge stand out for me at that point.
Rock on! And here I was thinking I was the only one.
1) hm, everybody’s changing to wordpress now. i’m too lazy to change all my scripts
2) no, i wouldn’t really call me an eric bana fangirl. i just think, he’s a good actor. (and he totally reminds me on my uncle *lol*) there are guys i’m a huge fangirl of and believe me, it’s a huge distant between me and my fangirl guys than me and the ‘i think, they’re good actors’ guys
3) hehe, great, i began to believe every girl likes him. even my mum thinks he’s good looking and a good actors.
4) i hope it’s not too personal, but why did you closed mia-online.org? i loved this site and you made me such a mia fangirl with your site!
With all the madness that is porn spam coming through CuteNews I thought I’d give it a shot. While I’m diggin’ WP, the personalizing of the look is not an easy task if you’re not so great with the coding like myself.
Hee!
Nope, not every one. Maybe we should introduce your mom to some of the somewhat lesser-known actors who are insanely talented and pretty hot to boot like my personal favorites Dash Mihok, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Fletcher Humphrys.
It’s not too personal. I absolutely adore Mia to bits and it killed me to close the site, but I’m feeling better about the decision now. Here’s the deal with the whole thing… It all started out with the fact that I haven’t been a fan of The L Word since mid-season 2 and as the premiere of S4 loomed near I was dreading it like the plague. Seriously. Having to watch a show that I hate, not just hate but actually loathe with every fiber of my being, and the mere thought of having to spend roughly 3-4 hours each week watching it, capping it, sorting the caps, making vids and updating with said stuff filled me with dread but I thought I could try and deal with it. After all, I’m a huge fan of Daniela Sea and Dallas Roberts and I thought they would make it better. Sadly, that was not the case and their characters were written just as horribly as Mia’s and the combination was too much to bear. I gave it 5 weeks and after the killing of the dog and turning Angus into a cheater, I had to wash my hands of the show completely. In the midst of all of this, the site was bombarded with porn spam of every imaginable variety. It was coming in through the email form, the comments in the news, the gallery and regular email. It was horrible and it was well over 300 spams a day. The combo of the disdain for the show and the spam kind of took their toll on me and I realized it was time to close up show, even if only for a 6 month period or so. I loved the site and I miss it terribly, but not being able to have any interaction with the fans bummed me out because everyone who visited was so awesome and supportive and the fact that TLW is such a huge part of her career and is actually what made more people take notice of her that it was really hard to continue to work on the site when I wasn’t going to be giving people a lot of what they came there for. I’m holding on to the domain name and have a full backup, so it could make a comeback at some point in the coming months because it was a great site and I know there are quite a few people that would be happy to see it back online. Whew! That was a way longer explanation than I had intended, but it’s an accurate one.
1) that’s one of the reason, i don’t really want to start with wp. i’m like the worst coder, ever *Lol*
2) well, usually, my mum’s taste’s not that strange. she likes sean connery, liam neeson, jeremy ironis, johnny depp, sean penn. they’re all quite good actors
3) wow, now, i can totally get your point! i mean, i just watched the first season of the show, because that’s the only one out here, but i visited your site regulary and i think, it’s better giving up something than making youself unhappy by holding on it!
it’s good to know, there’s a chance the site’s going to be back
Then it’s definitely for the best that you not start using it just yet.
Oooh! She does have really good taste. I guess we all have our little guilty pleasure faves. Mine is Josh Hartnett. He’s just got a certain something that I can’t help but be drawn to, though I haven’t quite figured out exactly what “it” is just yet.
Ahhh. Season 1. The last fond memories I have of the show. *sigh* Season 2 wasn’t entirely horrible, but the way things ended up with Jenny made me very unhappy. Season 3 made me want to throw things at Jenny and choke Ilene for writing her in such a way, but it gave me Dallas Roberts, Daniela Sea and Alan Cumming in return for the awfulness so I tried to look over as much of it as I could. Season 4 however started off dreadfully and slowly got worse and just straight up made me mad to the point that I couldn’t support it anymore. Most all of my issues came from what happened with Mia’s character throughout the course of the series and I also hated the way all men were portrayed on the show. Not every man is a doormat or evil or a cheater or mean but that’s how they have all ended up being portrayed and that is just so uncool.
1) yeah, i’m going to install it on day and try to ‘learn’ using it. if i get it, i’m going to use it
2) *lol* he must have something. i mean, he was dating scarlett johansson
my 2 guilty pleasure are: jake gyllenhaal & wentworth miller. jake’s too funny and went’s eyes are too catching
3) ah, like it’s with me and gilmore girls (not sure, if you watch the show). they changed rory sooo much. sure, i prefer the new rory, the old one was too ‘perfect’ and boring. but i still think, the whole character’s kinda boring. she never has real problems (and when she does, it doesn’t last long) and every guy falls for her. she’s pretty, yeah, but no girl’s that pretty
and on the other hand luke. they changed him soo much in season 5 and 6. they should defintely ‘give’ lorelai someone new
Good luck!
True, true.
I adore Jake and Went isn’t too bad himself. Those eyes? Rawr!
I actually used to love Gilmore Girls, but stopped watching it a season or two ago. I’ve watched a couple of eps this season, but I’m just not feeling it. Everyone has changed so much and not all of them in a good way. And don’t even get me started on the whole Luke/Lorelai thing. They have been meant for each other for like all eternity but the writers keep tossing stupid things in their way and keeping them apart just as they mend whatever the previous problem was. Gah! Plus, as you said, they did change him too much over the past couple of seasons and that hasn’t exactly been a good thing either.
1) thank you!
2) hehe, you’re watching prison break?
3) i soo agree with you. a real shame. it all began with the stupid fight of rory/lorelai in s5 in my opinon
I watched every week last season, but I haven’t been quite as interested this season. I’ll probably catch up fully over the summer.
You know? I think you’re right. That is about the time it all started. Hmmm. Well, maybe the show will go out with a bang in the end and it’ll make me want to catch up. I’m not really holding my breath on that one, but you just never know.
