But I like the cookie!

First, apologies. I got smacked by the Hyper Bus, apparently. I feel like, if I weren't comfortably surrounded by pillows and a pile of folded towels, I would skip about and maybe dance a jig ( Read more... )

Dude! I totally feel for that. I think it was trandenza who said we need more Richard fics and I was all "Whuh? But EVERYONE loves Richard?" and then FF.Net reveal that this was no so.

And there was wailing and gnashing of teeth.

A great part of what made Superman Returns so fascinating for me was the idea of Richard being a human Superman. He is just SO. Damned. Nice! He'll always do the right thing, etc, (and BTW, likeadeuce but besides that he genuinely loves Lois and Jason.

Also, I think the internet might be trying to thwart the LJ-breaking. It's slow on my end, too.

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 18:58:08 UTC

Yeah, the time stamp says 1:01 but I got this at 1:55. Not Impressed, LJ. Not Impressed!

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 19:03:53 UTC

I know. Between you and likeadeuce and zoe_chan, I was thinking the whole PLANET loved Richard.

Poor boy.

And YES, he DOES. I was watching it with subtitles the other day (shut up, we know I'm a geek), because I've never been able to catch whatever it was Richard said after he and Lois talk in the kitchen--"but did you love him?" "No," etc. Subtitles reveal that after Lois denies (BADLY, btw) that she never loved Superman, Richard says "Lois, I shouldn't have brought it up."

::loves him::

I mean, never mind the whole going after Lois and Richard in the seaplane or turning the damn thing around to help Superman, he is just so awesome and made of win it's not even funny. And THEN he drives Lois to the hospital and you KNOW he knows she loves/loved Superman. Guh. But yes, like you said, he genuinely loves them and he wants what's best for them.

I also adore the rumor that the part was written with James Marsden in mind. I mean, it DOES sort of sum up his entire movie career. ;) (Well... maybe not the entirety of it.)

xenokattz January 30 2007, 19:19:09 UTC

OMG must now watch it with subtitles! *loves on Richard some more*

I thought that rumour wasn't a rumour, that Singer actually went out and said "I wrote this because I want to work with James Marsden." However, there might have been the implication that he wrote it for James Marsden after realising that Fox was going to stiff Cyclops' part again, hence the plane-flying, etc, etc.

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 19:24:39 UTC

I thought you'd appreciate that. I know I squeed and told my cat, because there was no one else home to squee to. ;)

Also, wee! I said rumor because I didn't KNOW if it was true or not, as I'd just heard it said by someone who heard someone else say it or... something. But dude, this is clearly because James Marsden is made of win. He's so made of win they MAKE UP PARTS FOR HIM.

::loves::

If this was [info]likeadeuce's LJ, we'd be obligated ot say "But I don't care who James Marsden is" at this point.

But since it's your LJ, I think this calls for a serious LJ-breaking moment.

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 19:38:51 UTC

You are absolutely right, on both counts.

LJ-breaking with a side of snark, references to gay sex and general breaking of Clark's brain.

xenokattz January 30 2007, 19:49:56 UTC

It would probably involve Remy snarking as Bruce and Richard talk shop about their planes.

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 20:05:19 UTC

Snark involving planes as a metaphor for penises, which of course goes right over Clark's head.

No, Clark, you really can't do that with an airplane.

xenokattz January 30 2007, 20:08:59 UTC

Remy would make sounds about extending Clark's uses for the X-Ray vision and the super-hearing.

Bruce would pretend to look something up on the Bat-PDA. Or maybe he'd REALLY look something up on the Bat-PDA. Who knows?

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 20:16:39 UTC

He's probably looking for an excuse to leave this little pow-wow without looking like he's retreating, because that would give Remy enough ammunition to keep him snarking for years.

It's just too bad all his meetings have been cancelled and there's no crime spree to be found.

xenokattz January 30 2007, 20:28:29 UTC

Clark has no need for a PDA. He just fakes hearing a siren in the Czech Republic and flies off before they can drag anything else out of this.

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 20:33:47 UTC

Richard is Not Amused that he's been left alone with Bruce and Remy. Clark will definitely be hearing about this later.

It seems supremely unfair that he's the only one without superpowers or a utility belt, but he somehow keeps finding himself in these situations.

xenokattz January 30 2007, 20:37:48 UTC

Remy ponders aloud about the phallic-shaped pouch on Bruce's utility belt that supposedly holds bat-a-rangs.

Bruce counters with the convenience of Remy's bo-staff pouch-- front and centre.

lady_sarai January 30 2007, 20:51:19 UTC

Richard would like nothing more than to escape, but he really doesn't want to have to explain to Lois that he let Bruce and Remy cause yet another explosion.

Although by now, she should know that the names "Bruce" and "Remy" uttered in the same sentence mean certain disaster and singed eyebrows.
