In Memoriam
Friends, Romans, fangirls. Tonight, I was given some very upsetting news, news that has left me feeling cheated and bereft, empty of hope, and full of despair. James appears as Piccolo in the movie Dragon Ball for less than 10 minutes.
Now, I am not a Dragon Ball fan. In fact, you couldn’t pay me to watch any anime. But, as I have done time and time again, I do plan on seeing the movie for simple fact that James is in it. I missed the opportunity to ogle see him on the big screen in P.S. I Love You, and while he’ll be covered in makeup in DB, I figured it couldn’t hurt to drag my ass to a theatre to bask in some Jimmy time. Maybe they’ll even show it in IMAX. Oooo… :shivers:
But I digress. So, if I’m not a DB fan, then why am I upset that he’s in the movie for less than 10 minutes, you ask? Well, as many of you know, James suffered a minor accident during filming: he got his teeth kicked in by Chow Yun Fat and lost a tooth. Not just any old tooth, ladies, but that oh-so-adorable, slightly askew incisor on the upper right side of his mouth. The wonky tooth. The sexy tooth.
:pauses for effect:
We lost the frickn’ cute tooth for 10 measley minutes of screen time?!? WTF? The man does his own stunts, gets booted in the face by a co-star, thereby loosing the cute tooth, and all we get is 10 f-ing minutes? I have no idea who parsed out his screentime to come up with that no-so-impressive total, but this information may be enough to keep me from seeing it in the theatre. (Okay, I’m totally lying there ‘cause how can I resist Jimmy? But it did give me pause. :-P) Perhaps I should make T-shirts and pass them out at the U.S. premier: “My favorite hottie lost his cute tooth, and all I got was 10 minutes of screen time and this T-shirt.”
So, now I will watch the movie a bit heavy hearted, knowing that a severe sacrifice was made for its production. Rest in peace, tooth. Rest in peace.
Before: Look at that tooth.
After: Toothless.

I would have asked first, but I have no idea from what sources I originally obtained them, as it’s virtually impossible to keep track of everything in the Jimmy arsenal that is my hard drive :-P
