Ugh I'd blissfully forgotten just how dumb with the whole ~it's so beautiful i want to touch this clearly unknown creature~ WTF that's not how science works motherfucker. If Sean's in MI5, even as a villain, he'll probably get overshadowed by pegg/ renner / patton etc. When has a MI villain ever been relevant/memorable?
like, he was afraid of everything and space but let's touch this ugly worm thing that came out of an oil filled egg? On an unknown planet? On a giant alien like spaceship thing?
Oh okay
Idk, Phillip Seymore Hoffman was great but that was probably more because it was PSH than anything else lol
TO BE FAIR, there are deleted scenes that make it a lot more clear/reasonable as to why he'd think it was safe to mess around with the...vagina snake thing. I've heard Rafe Spall try to explain this more than once because apparently people are always giving him shit for his character being a dumbass, heh. I mean, that was the main problem with that film; it was like five different people's scripts mashed into one and they took random bits out and it ended up not making sense. But, ya know, they tried at one point.
There's a making-of doc called The Furious Gods -- it's like four fucking hours long or something, but it's really really interesting and also kind of tragic because, like, you can see exactly where it went wrong, but no one's really aware of it yet as they're talking about it. Like one second you have Jon Spaihts explaining his frustration at the studio bringing in a ~big name~ (Lindelof) to work on the script for no reason, and then a minute later you have Lindelof saying "I'm not great at writing alone, but fortunately I had Ridley there!" and you're like "...wat." So it's kinda painfully ironic to watch later on. (And Sean is in literally like a minute of it bc he's so shy and as a stan I was like GODDAMMIT MAN)
Still not over PSH being gone, he was really good in his last film too.. but yeah hoping Sean gets this one tho, get that global exposure bb.
Also OT but LJ doesn't send me notifs so I was on gmail which shows the un and display name or smth and I just realized I recognize your old un from old hobbit posts lmao
