Slashy Nominations 128: Small Fandoms Well Pursued

[thefourthvine]

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this. But, see, recently liviapenn reminded me that I have been remiss in my duties as a fan. Specifically, I have neglected my Fannish Heritage. (Capitals inserted to make the topic seem more important. Also, I figure this way I'm enhancing the chances that soon a course called that will be offered for credit at

I'd be more inclined to spell the name McManus, which is the normal Irish spelling. I haven't seen the film, though, so can't say how it's spelled there.

Things explode! Things are shot! Bad people are taken down with extreme prejudice and altarboy Latin! There is humor and plot holes and much action. And yet I'm strangely comfortable with it. I own it, even, and would gladly burn you a copy. Except I'm not sure it's your kind of movie, and also the Irish-American accents might make your brain explode. Still, let me know if you want one - we could solve this whole thing once and for all. By gum, unless I mean begorrah. Or hoots. Or, for all I know, barsteds. Damn. Where's a stereotypically, excessively ethnic exclamation when you need it?

(And thank you for the confirmation of the normal Irish spelling. These boys are...well, not normal by anyone's standards, but it's hard to picture them having an atypical spelling of their Irish last name.)

Hoots and begorrah, sure wouldn't I be lovin a copy of this fine pace o' cinematic drama? Thank yeh, thank yeh very much!

But, seriously, you'll love BDS. Explosions and twins and Latin and the best and gayest FBI guy ever. (And I do mean canonically gay.) Where shall I send it? (If you'd rather email: thefourthvine at livejournal dot com will always find me, thanks to the wiley marketing strategies of the LJ folks). And do you have an all-region player, or would you like me to convert it?

[daegaer]

Hurray! I'll mail you. If you cold convert it, that'd be great, as my fangirl mother is very fond of films with explosions, and would probably love to see it. Alas, her quest for modern technology hasn't included a multi-region player! (If it's in any way a hassle to convert it, though, then I'll simply not tell her and watch it at home :-)
