John Simm proves I'm just like one of those women who write to serial killers in prison after all
Oh, god, John Simm is just so cute that I can't even stand it. Look at this interview. And he's so adorably shy in this one (contains spoilers for the end of Life on Mars). And he's such a Paul McCartney fanboy! (It's not my fault; writteninstars mentioned watching YouTube clips of John Simm all day, and I couldn't get the idea out of my head.)
I watched him in this thing called "Chiller" last night and it turns out that David Fury was right about me after all. Because John Simm plays a serial killer and I totally just wanted to hug the poor darling. He's all sad and lonely! His mother abandoned him! It's not his fault he keeps killing people; his evil imaginary boyfriend will leave him if he doesn't!
He's such a cute little woobie, all angsty and sweet and sad, and then he turns into evil scary psycho!killer. This is clearly the best sort of role for John Simm. He's so young in this; he must've been around 25 but he looks about 17. And I haven't seen him in anything with this much homoerotic subtext since Doctor Who.
lozenger8 has a great summary/picspam here which anyone interested in adorable pretty boys being psycho and having lots of ho!yay really ought to click. (It took me four tries to write "click" instead of "lick." Freudian slip, much?)
Also, I may have just spent $100 on John Simm DVDs from amazon.co.uk. What? I need to test out my new region free DVD player.

In, um, non-Simm related news, I listened to three Doctor Who audio books read by David Tennant. It's super fun to hear him read them in his adorable Scottish accent, and then do all the characters with different voices. The Resurrection Casket and The Feast of the Drowned were pretty forgettable childrens' stories, but The Stone Rose was nifty.
The story is a lot more emotionally driven, plus it takes place in ancient Rome, which is a lot more interesting to me than the present and future settings of the other two. But the main interesting thing was that it was insanely Doctor/Rose shippy. Rose gets turned to stone and the Doctor gets all sad trying to find her, then goes back to the present and has this big angsty conversation with Mickey about having lost her, and then gets her back and (through some timey wimey method) she ends up seeing him during the period where he's all heartbroken and missing her, and she wants to go to him but she can't because it'll screw up the timeline. Oh, and he tells her he loves her! In a casual aside, but still. The shippers must've gone insane for this book!
(Speaking of whom, as much as I like Rose, the crazy Doctor/Rose shippers are really starting to annoy me. "Girl in the Fireplace" is one of the best episodes of season two, goddammit! Sopia Miles is a great actress and Reinette is a strong, three-dimensional character. Stop whining just because it makes you feel insecure about your ship! And... and... the Doctor's an alien! And he and Rose aren't married! Stop comparing him to a cheating husband!
Okay. *deep breath* *steps far away from DW fandom*)
