LOL! I plan to post a gushing entry about Christian and those suits. :)
Perhaps it's the difference between Dillinger, who is often seen relaxed in hotels, restaurants etc. and Purvis, who we never see in an environment outside of his office or on the streets hunting criminals that makes him [Purvis] appear (on the surface) another cold, calculated cop. He's certainly a character that one really needs to think about and read between the lines to understand the many layers of his character; which is of course the beauty of Christian's performance =D
Yes, we never got to see him relaxed or even mention if he had a family. I know he eventually married and had a son (and might have had more kids, I can't remember, have to check that). I don't know if he was married or had any children at the time of the events of this movie. So we had to go with the Clark Gable of the Bureau at work. Yep, Melvin Purvis was known as the Clark Gable of the whole damned place! ;)
...well that and *droooool*
*grins*
//end ramble
*enjoys ramble*
I haven't found any either so you will most likely have the honour of writing the first PE slash fic 8D
Three slash ideas?! *Worships* Can't wait to read them <3
Yep, three! One short piece, and two rather long ones. All three are different takes, not a series, but they're all fun to have swirling around in my head! :)
I think it was the super-sexy-tension-filled jail scene that did it...And then the crushing disappointment of going home and trawling the net to find...nothing :(
Yes! That was their only real scene together as Purvis didn't speak to Dillinger after the shooting at the Biograph, the Texas Ranger did (can't remember his name). The UST was palpable! That's definitely going to be one of the three. :)
And very disappointing that the film's been out for three weeks and no slash! In the Internet Age, you're supposed to have people writing slash the minute they get home from the theater! LOL!

Awesome, I look forward to joining in the gushing! This film reminded me just how much I adore 20s/30s fashion, particularly the men and their suits (and hats, and coats and...). They all look so sophisticated and handsome <333

That's interesting to know about him, I'm not well versed in Purvis's life compared to Dillinger's but I'll definitely get researching :) In the film he does seem very work orientated so I would make the assumption he isn't? :/
Wow, what a title to live up to, especially since I've always considered Gable to be quite a rogue ;D

My goodness, you going to be really spoiling us PE slash fans (I'm sure we're out there somewhere in the undergrowth xD). I wish I had your brains talent for fantastic fic writing, I'm sure slashing these two takes a lot of subtle, intelligent dialogue whilst my HURR DURR brain just wants to smoosh them together in a jail cell xDD

Oh how I wish they had more screen time dialogue together although I really enjoyed the hunter/hunted aspect of their relationship with Dillinger only barely escaping half the time =D
I'm so happy to hear the prison scene is going to be one of your three fic settings. It was definitely the moment the slash alarm bells started ringing ;)

IKR??!! It should be some sort of internet rule, that as soon as a film comes out there should be slash ready and waiting for the fangirls to come home and read! xDDD

Oh, yeah! I really do have to get busy on that, and I find men's clothes of the time to be really yummy! :)
The women's clothes are interesting, too. Women were finally freed from restrictive clothing and long hair pinned up on their heads. :) Not that I don't like long hair, but it's nice they had the option of short hair!

I would make the same assumption. I'll dig a little more into it and see what I can come up with.

I've seen pictures of Melvin and he's not stunningly gorgeous like Christian or even as handsome as Gable, but he must have had considerable charm in person! :)

I'm sure I'll be smooshing them together at some point! Though I do enjoy the subtleties, believe me! :)

I did read somewhere that they were inextricably linked as they played their cat-and-mouse game. You could definitely take that as some sexual gamesmanship. ;)

LOL! Well, perhaps guns_fedoras can fill the gap! Pimp to your friends! ;)

The men of the 30s had a lot more class I think ;)
Definitely, it was the beginning of the women's revolution, clothes wise at least; the dresses in particular were so stunning and elegant. I personally adore Bille Frechette's three-dollar dress xD
Gah, the hairstyles were so gorgeous and well styled. Being a woman at the time may not have been much fun but at least the fashion was fabulous xD

I had noticed that too as well as the fact that he was quite short as well xD But I agree, he must have had something charming about him to make him such a popular guy :)
I'm sure I'll be smooshing them together at some point! Though I do enjoy the subtleties, believe me! :)
I agree that, with some pairings, I find a subtle, smouldering relationship to be a far juicier read. Perhaps with these two it seems more IC for it to be like that, bubbling under the surface...although I still say full steam ahead with the smooshing ;)

Well this just writes itself doesn't it? xD I most certainly take that as sexual gamesmanship! I adore hunter/hunted relationship dynamics and these two are a perfect example 8D

Oh I will do my best. My friend who went to see it with me echoed my sentiment about the lack of slash so I shall point her in the direction of g_f ;D

Oh, yeah. A gentleman didn't go out of the house without his hat, and he wouldn't go around in his undershirt unless he was at home and it was extremely hot. Of course, Clark Gable put the undershirt industry in a bind when he was seen on-screen without one. ;)

I loved that red dress!

Very true! Women were restricted about a lot of things, but one thing an American woman was expected to do by the '30s, unless you were really old or traditional, was to know how to drive! :)
That gave a lot of women freedom in ways women in other countries didn't have, and even today, there are countries that don't allow it!

Yes, very short! But it had to be charisma! ;)

LOL! Strictly canon will have to have a lot of subtle smoldering, but I can branch off into AU, using canon as my starting point. Because after that jail scene, you KNOW Mel wants Johnny. ;)

And what if the tables were turned? *whistles innocently as yet another bunny hops into the pen*
