hi hello, lustfest going on here...
So the thing about me is that, when I've loved someone for a long time like I have, say, George Clooney, or Vince Vaughn, or Denis Leary, I don't prattle on about them. Unless there's this kickass movie they're in or something. And it's not like I ever forget how much I love them, it's just that.... It'll get kickstarted somehow. A movie, an interview, whatever.
So, ya know, when Iron Man made my latent Robert Downey Jr lust get awoken, it um... pushed it WAY into overdrive. Which, by the way, I have to thank dancinbutterfly for getting me to actively sit down and watch that thing. I had always meant to see it, like, since I saw the previews, because i remember being in line for popcorn for some other movie and RDJ came on the screen and I remember being fixated to the tiny tv behind the concession stand to the point that my Dad had to physically grab my arm and mock me mercilessly until I followed him. It wasnt jsut cuz it was RDJ, it was also the comic bookiness and the special effects and the dialogue that I was able to see of RDJ's. Because the thing that's always pulled me towards RDJ moreso than most actors is the WAY he speaks. He speaks like he belongs in a Sorkin show/movie. Or, good God, Kevin Smith, HIRE HIM ALREADY! Oh, man, RDJ in a Kevin Smith film. I could die then.
Um. Where was I? Oh yeah. I've been wracking my brain to come up with when I first fell in love with him, and I'm pretty sure it was Chances Are. Because I was too young to have caught Less Than Zero the first time around (in 1987 I was 7, so no, lol). Either Chances Are or Only You. No, I think it was Chances Are. Anyway, regardless, the point is, the boy was always a hotass, and like most men, has only gotten hotter the older he gets. That's just not right. But anyway.
Oh. By the way, I had an epiphany in my head earlier. George Clooney + Robert Downey Jr = Instantaneous Orgasm. Just so you know. No, they're not in anything together, but in my head they were for a split second (I think this icon of RDJ somehow reminds me of Clooney, the salt-n-pepper beard or something) and it was HOTNESS.
So yeah.
Seriously. How gorgeous is his son? He is going to be a freakin' heartbreaker.
Mmmm. You wear sunglasses very well, Downey, very well indeed.
Sigh. I love him laughing like that. Sometimes thinking abot RDJ depresses me, because of all of his drug problems, and how fucked up he is, and how I'm afraid he's going to kill himself with his bad habits, but pictures like this, with him laughing and looking like he's a goofy SOB, it just lifts my heart.
THE FACE! LOOK AT HIS FACE! HEEEEE!
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was... an odd movie. And I'm honestl not sure if I disliked it or LOVED it, but I do know one thing: He kicked the shit out of that dialogue. Also, RDJ + Val Kilmer = YAY!
Yes. Indeed. That IS Sarah Jessica Parker. She looks HORRIBLE there, and I cracked up when I saw this pic. LMFAO.
Mmmm. In black and white.
Another gleeful looking picture heee. There's a reason I made it my banner.
I don't think there's many more people that look as dead sexy as he does with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Johnny Depp perhaps.... which by the way, there's smethign about RDJ that reminds me of JD. I'm not sure what, I think it's the fact that they're both quirky and picky with their films... I'm not sure.
Hello sexy naked boy. Okay, naked chested, but still. Sexy is the point.
Tee hee. Boys and their toys.
Oh god, that SMILE. This was going to be my banner, but I coudln't get it to do how I wanted.
So listen. Let's not stop at pictures.
You know, Less Than Zero was one of his first movies. Not his first, but the first one that really brought his name into th elimelight. And that's because at the time, LTZ was pretty damn risque for a "teeny bopper" movie. It was the same crowd that had been doing Pretty in Pink and 16 Candles, and then they did drugs and drug-induced gayness, and curse words, and... it was just pretty harsh back int he day. And he's so young and beautiful and GOOD in this. Because the members of the Brat Pack, they weren't known for being good actors... Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, all those cats, hardly any of them actually made it past their Brat Pack fame. A few of them did, and RDJ is probably the biggest. Him and Demi Moore. and that's because even when they were doing piece of shit films (which, I'm not sayin Less than Zero was one) they were still GOOD.
This movie though, god, it's heartbreaking. Not just because it is, because it is in it's own right, but.... because it's all too easy to watch it and see Robert Downey Jr instead of Julian the Character. Everytime I hear about him getting busted for drugs again or going to jail again, my heart breaks all ver again, and I see scenes from this movie in my mind's eye and just pray to god that he doesn't wind up with the same fate Julian did.
But onto funnier things:
Home for the Hollidays is a seriously hysterical movie. Also, he's gay in it. With Dylan McDermott. Bwa. And I adore, adore, ADORE Holly Hunter.
And Hugo Pool is just.... one of the weirdest movies I've ever ever seen. And RDJ has the craziest assed accent EVER in it. I rented it for Patrick Dempsey and immdeiately fell in love with RDJ's crazy crazy CRAZY PERSON.
Onto him being him, which is the best anyway.
I love that he "forgets" his name.
"I also felt momentarily homicidal towards Keanu Reeves, because I woulda been great if I woulda been Neo. But I think I was in the Pen or something."
First of all, HA. Second of all, darlin' you are not alone in your homicidal feelings towards a certain person with the initials KR.
And
DANCING:
Somehow he reminded me of Chris Kattan there.
And this is Gweneth instead of RDJ, but hey... hilarious!
I would love to link you to the thing he and Ben Stiller and Jack Black did for the MTV Movie Awards, but the fuckers took it down off of youtube. Hysterical. Especially the bit where Ben says that maybe he'd be better recieved if he got busted with a couple tons of blow and a hooker, to which RDJ responds with threatening to kick his ass. HILARIOUS.
And finally... RDJ and Val Kilmer:
"I laughed, I cried, I ate my hat..... who's better in it me or him?"
And also thsi one, omg, too funny:
