Back Home!
Phew. I finally finished my film noir X-Men: First Class fanfic "Dial M For Mutant", and it's clocked in at 42 pages in Word. It's the longest thing I've ever written! Before this fandom anyone who know me will tell you my stuff was usually just one shots or drabbles (with the exception of one of my Inception fics, "Back To The Start", which ended
( Read more... )
I'm still shipping this though. With a side order of Steve/Optimus Prime (I saw Transformers 3 straight afterwards. It made an impression) and Union Jack/ANYONE/Hicox 'cause CLONE SANDWICHES ARE HOT.
Yeah, I went for the crossover potential. Just not The Avengers crossover potential. :D

Also, mmmm, hatesex. It's the best kind of sex, after we-almost-died sex and yay-you're-not-pregnant sex. I hope he's still sexy as a dwarf (Wow, that was not a sentence I expected myself to say tonight).
I... don't know how a normal sized man (Even one pumped to the gills on super soldier serum) and a Transformer could do it, but I'll take your word for it. (Oooh, hey, isn't Hugo Weaving in both?)
Crossovers make the world go 'round.

Hicox is seriously an achievement in screenwriting. Respect to Tarantino 'cause he basically condenses Richard Burton's character from Where Eagles Dare and Richard Attenborough's character from The Great Escape into about 8mins of dialogue THEN tells Fassy that he's got to do 3/4s of it in German. Wow. O.O
I have 2 kinds of Hicox/Kruger plot bunny: there's the pre-war schmoop variety with handjobs in dark cinemas and smoldering looks over coffee and then there's the really kinky interrogation scenario shit. *koff*
I hope he's still sexy as a dwarf (Wow, that was not a sentence I expected myself to say tonight).I don't think he can help being sexy at all. It's adorable 'cause the poor boy seems to have been trying to find his own sexiness off-switch for the better part of the last decade. And, really, if he thinks losing 3ft in height and getting a rubber nose is going to stop fandom... Man's never been to the Library of Moria. XD ( ... )

OH MY GOD, that is EXACTLY what I thought, too! Like, with those exact movies and everything. *squints* Are you me from the future? Because if you are, the reality-imploding time paradox will totally be worth it. Not to mention, I freaking LOVE Richard Burton. Him/Peter O'Tool in "Becket" was one of my first ships. 'Cause I'm weird like that.
...handjobs in dark cinemas... Excuse me, I'll be in my bunk.
Hugo Weaving is SUCH a BAMF. Have you seen "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert"? If you haven't you totally should, because... well, it sort of has to be seen to be believed. The man's one of my idols.

How about we're meta aspects of Tarantino? It's a better explanation than breaking the Space-Time Continuum. (I like Burton, but I think he's another actor who must have been TREMENDOUS on stage, and film limited his range. Imo, O'Toole's one of the generation that 'got it' and managed to find a balance between theatrical grandstanding and the intimacy of performance for camera. It doesn't mean I don't LIKE Burton. It means I just WISH he'd been born 10-15 years later 'cause there's this massive fuel injection of theatre and film that came along in the late 50s/early 60s and Burton was too late to slide in on it)

I <3 Tarantino. I was the kid in the playground, when Res. Dogs was first released, dispelling the rumour that it had the HIGHEST BODYCOUNT IN THE WORLD 'cause I'd seen Total Recall and Die Hard 2. I was, like, this 14 year old Yoda of film facts. XD ... I'm at the other end of the size spectrum (US 13). Maybe QT'd see mine and be overcome with an urge to go kayaking in my slingbacks?
I like film. Good film's easy to get hold of. Good theatre? Not that easy. Tbh, the dialogue scene in Hunger is the best example of dramatic theatre I've seen in 20 years. And that's bloody tragic 'cause I've been going and looking and I've seen some fine things, but nothing has come CLOSE to that scene in terms of writing quality and performance. If you can find a copy: A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. If you like O'Toole, you'll ( ... )

EXCELLENT! :D I think I only avoided being stuffed in a locker by being too tall and too fat for the lockers. :/
*salutes* DON'T get the 2002 version!
I can't add to that. My brain's moved a few sex scenes on to Hicox showing Kruger the correct way to choke on his cock or Kruger hauling Hicox (AKA The Thinnest Man in the World) up by grabbing his arse.
I should tell you the one about Kruger fellating a flick-knife at Red Skull's command...YAY! CRISIS AVERTED! The only actual Nazis who feature last about 30secs before Red Skull zaps them with an energy weapon. Everyone else is HYDRA. Which is useful, 'cause comic canon says Kruger was Gestapo and that's prettttttttttty difficult to handwave. :S I was prepared to give it ( ... )

Sorry I'm ranting, I just really needed a hug today and there was no one here to give me one ;_;

If it helps, reality is what makes the internet a necessity. I'd've gone crazy without it. :D
Y'know, you're the first drama geek I've run into who I can trade non-blockbuster/made-over-20-years-ago movie recs with? *glomp*
