There are plenty of good actors out there, but Connie involves you so physically. That when he does things like... Jaffar wibbling with the Princess, or Karl wibbling with Madeleine, you truly feel it physically in the body. And that's really rare, I find. I mean, ok, yes, yes, I am a hypersensitive git who feels everything "too" intensely anyway. ( Read more... )

I was just thinking how... enormous he is. How filling he is. Not just because he was such a tall guy, but because his presence fills the entire room, the screen, radiating into the viewer's space, filling me as well. To the brim, to the overflowing. There's something about the physicality of his performance, the way he's present in his body and ( Read more... )

I've blathered about this before here and there, but my blog, so whatevz. Let me elaborate. Yet again, I was thinking of why I find Connie so ridiculously attractive. And as I've said, it's the androgyny and the sexual ambivalence and all that, but I think that this time, it hits me harder because... it's not me watching something through slash ( Read more... )

I'm still trying to pinpoint what it is that makes Conrad Veidt so attractive. I keep thinking of the various individual parts of what make up his charisma--those magnetic eyes, those elegant hands, his imposing tall and slim stature, the smoothness of his voice once he'd become fluent in English--and yet, even saying "it's all of these things in ( Read more... )
