McAvoy movies // Jane Eyre (2011)
So last month I wrote:
Spencer looks like Howard Stark, except sexier and less pretty. -- Starter for Ten
Turns out they are played the same actor. IDK why I'm surprised, considering pretty blue-eyed Captain George Kirk = muscly redneck THOR. *inserts face of disbelief*. Prolly because Starter for Ten is British and Captain America is, you know, American? Haha. And I still remember when people complained that Bridget Jones was played by an American.
Other James McAvoy stuff I've watched since then:
a) X-Men: First Class deleted scenes. Oh Charles you inappropriate lecher you <3
The deleted scenes just lend so much support to チャエリ [ChaEri] (seme!Charles x uke!Erik, as opposed to エリチャ [EriCha]) mwahahahaha. Not that I don't enjoy both ;-), I just love the Japanese fanartists' take on seme!Charles: sexually socially inappropriate lush academic with a skewed moral compass.
b) Penelope =DDD Nice enjoyable movie with an empowered female hero.
It tripped me up so much because the accents in the beginning of the movie are American, then halfway into the movie half of the cast have a British accent, and in the ending scene pretty much everyone has a British accent except for Christina Ricci. I know they were aiming for an "everywhere" location, but still. CONFUSING. McAvoy's accent also slipped in the middle. It just increases my respect for Hugh Laurie O_o
c) The first two episodes of Children of Dune. Of course, I promptly spoiled myself for the third episode when I went looking for Atreides twincest on AO3. Leto NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo T_T
Things you need to know about Children of Dune:
1. The spice must flow.
2. Leto/Ghanima *____* <333
3. We go forward. We go back. We go forward. We go back. No, really, just watch the Leto & Ghanima fanvid. Spoilers, but if you're clueless about Dune it won't spoil much of anything. I got spoiled from fanfic, not the fanvid =/
d) His few minutes of appearance in Band of Brothers.
e) His <1 minute appearance in Lorna Doone, in which he looks like a pretty, pretty girl, prettier than the glasses!girl he's romancing. The long wavy hair and red and blue uniform didn't help.
Jane Eyre. First of all, I don't get why they started the movie from the middle. I watched the movie 1.5 times and I still don't get it.
Second, I was rooting for St. John until he proposed, in which he amply demonstrated that he DOESN'T GET JANE AT ALL. =( I'm making disappointed faces at you, Jamie Bell St. John! So I get why Jane ran back to be with creepyRochester instead =P
Michael Fasbbender's Rochester is, as expected, v. creeper (Perhaps to Twilight's creeperEdward levels? Why the same first name WAHHHhhh). What delightfully surprised me though, is he plays creeperRochester with humor. Like, he's MOCKING JANE GENTLY AND NOT-SO-GENTLY but it's all in good fun. Plus, Jane Eyre has wits and claws. Rawr.
Lastly, I approve of the ending shot and the exclusion of the book's epilogue. Because the book's epilogue is the epitome of foreboding creepy in a book already filled with creepy. I mean it all in the most romantic sense, of course.
