Playing in the Dollhouse: Hollow Men (with a footnote of Buffy Worship)

Jul 15, 2010 01:07

Just a quick post, mostly to worship Enver! Because OMFG can that boy ACT!!! He blows me away every time. Eliza Dushku, take note. I mean seriously. Because Enver has the whole different personality thing DOWN. Everthing about him becomes different - the movement, mannerisms, voice tone, gestures... And none of that changes with Eliza. Or ( Read more... )

Agreed about Dushku! She's got a range she plays really well, but unfortunately, all Dollhouse did was highlight that gap between she and the rest of the actors who played dolls.

ENVER, OH MY. I was blown out of the water by that scene, for all of the reasons you put together. His whole aura changes - I forget I'm looking at Enver Gojak - and I love that. I hope it goes well for all of the actors who played dolls because they were all outstanding.

Yeah she's epic as Faith, and I wouldn't wish anyone else the part. But you're right, the other dolls really show her up in Dollhouse! And it's really sad cos Echo is an amazing character, and I kinda wish an actor with a bigger range had got her. Simply because I want to see all the personalities properly. But Eliza did make Echo her own and I can't really imagine her as anyone else!

I know!! Like I said, everything about his acting is perfect. And I love how he characterised Tony, too. Because he made him so different from any other character he'd played. *is in love with Victor*

Glad there is life for him after Dollhouse! Because he's just so darned talented! I think Dichen's gonna do really well. I just have a feeing :D

Enver Gjokaj is amazing! :D He's really giving it his al when he plays a doll. Like Kiki. Omg, so funny but so perfect. XD And, of course, Victor!Topher. *shakes head in awe* That was brilliant, that was. I mean, I looked at him, and even though he looks different, I still saw Topher. If that makes sense. It's the voice, the mannerisms, everything, and just... awesome!

I really hope he gets to do lots of great things now. He so deserves it. Also, he's apparently in an ep of Lie To Me. Yay! :D

HE KICKS ARSE AS KIKI!!!!! Happiest moment of my life when he started dancing!! :D

Yeah I know. Just as soon as that personality gets in Victor from the first moment he IS Topher. Just epic :D

So true. If he doesn't get a shedload of jobs then I would be shocked.

Enver pretty much owns my soul. Imdb tells my that he's going to be in a movie with Robert De Niro and Edward Norton. I don't know how big the role will be, but it's a start.

I think this may be the Zeppo picspam you're talking about. If it is, then I'm really glad it stuck with you. It is my very favorite BtVS episode. I'm glad you and Xander have worked past your troubles. I think he's one of those characters that can go through rough patches where he makes a lot of mistakes, but he always seems to make it up eventually.

I know a few good Xander/Faith stories, but it isn't a particularly popular ship. The beauty of the comics is that the show is still happening, so you can still be hoping for couples to get together. That said, you'll probably fall head-over-heels for Xander/Anya. They're my canon OTP for the show and, so far, we have pretty similar taste.

OMGHOMGOMGOMGOMGOGM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ed Norton!!!!! Yayyyyy!!!!!!!

Sorry, can't reply to the rest cos I'm rushing out, bu I saw this and couldn't resist squeeing! Ed's one of my fave actors, and the best I've seen (other than Enver ofc). Omg! *IS SO HAPPY RN*

:D:D:D

softly_me July 18 2010, 02:57:06 UTC

Haha, your reaction to Ed Norton was perfect. I completely agree on him being one of the best actors I know.

back now so can reply properly :P delta_mai July 16 2010, 16:06:42 UTC

Oh it was yuuuooouuu!!!!! Yeah it was that picspam! It's SUCH a good episode. Think it's gonna be one of my faves too :D Thank you for the picspam!

Not a popular ship? Aw :( I am detirmined to ship these two. Though you're right about Xander/Anya. I love her already. And I love him. So... But Xander/Cordelia will always be my OTP.

Btw Buffy/Faith is so hot. Totally shipping them now :D
