I am a ridiculous puddle of flaily fangirl at the moment. It's kind of pathetic. But if I can't share my ridiculousness with you guys, then what's the point of fandom?? :-P
Okay, so as I mentioned in my last post, we met the lovely Clark Gregg Wednesday night at a screening of his movie Trust Me, which he wrote, directed, and starred in. We saw the Premiere Saturday night, and got to meet him briefly then, but it was the premiere, he was clearly nervous (and adorable! OMG! SO ADORABLE!) and he had the afterparty to go to when we cornered him after the movie saw him when he was leaving, so it was a brief encounter.
Wednesday night's screening was much more relaxed, it was a smaller theater than the one the premiere was held in, and the Q&A was more ... intimate. (It was just him. Saturday night, his co-stars, Sam Rockwell, Felicity Huffman, Amanda Peet, Saxon Sharbino, (who is a new, young up-and-coming actress and who was just fabulous in the movie!) Paul Sparks, (from Boardwalk Empire) and a few others were there with him, and it was much more formal - red carpet, press, Michael J Fox and Angelina Jolie there, etc.)
So, Wednesday's post-movie Q&A. Emboldened, I raised my hand to ask a question, and he called on me. I can't divulge the question without massive spoilers, but it was basically one asking about the aesthetic choice for something to do with his character, Howard, at the end of the movie. And well, the word "ugly" sort of came out. But in a funny way! I swear! He was all, "Now I'm heartbroken. That's me you're talking about!" but clearly good-natured about it.
Still, for the rest of the night,
bethbethbeth and I joked about how I insulted him and his artistic choices, because, well. :-P
So today, we were tweeting about Disney/ABC picking up the new S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot and, well, this happened:

clarkgregg I think they're milking it right now for the media buzz & hype. Disney owns ABC. Of course they're picking it up
