Tell me I'm not crazy

Christian Slater used to be hot, right? I didn't just conjure that out of the fevered imagination of early adolescence, did I?

Because, seriously, his forehead in That Show That's About to Be Canceled Because They Did the Big Reveal in the First Episode Like Total Morons is freaking me right out and making me doubt my perception of movie history.

Aha, thank you. I feel much better.

It wasn't that great. I dropped out after two episodes. Does NBC offer them online?

I've heard his name before, but I don't actually know who he is, so I can't help you there.

Unless I look at that picture la_petite_singe posted, in which case, I can tell you that you are completely sane, and DAMN.

...

*snickers* I looked him up on IMDb, partly to see what this Soon To Be Canceled Show was, partly to see if I recognized him from anything. Apart from when he played the uncredited "Easily Fooled Security Guard" in Austin Powers (which means nothing to me, as I haven't seen that movie in years), I haven't seen him in a damn thing.

Unless, of course, you count voice acting, in which case...I know him as Pips. From Ferngully.

Which wouldn't be half as amusing as it is if it weren't for the fact that the last time someone mentioned that movie to me, it was when they provided a link to a Ferngully fanfic.

A Ferngully slash fanfic.

A smutty Ferngully slash fanfic.

I then proceeded to rent the movie specifically so I could read the fic and know who the hell the characters were, as I had forgotten.

ferngully is the best :(

and your icon rocks

BUT BACK TO THE POINT. his eyebrows always freaked me out

[evadne_noel]

See, even in that young picture, it's the forehead that gets me. Maybe just because I know where it's going.

[evadne_noel]

I guess animated Christian doesn't really help. Though, lol ferngully. Man, I remember that movie mostly for Tim Curry.

[evadne_noel]

Well, no. It already gave away it's interesting point and couldn't follow it up with anything.

If you're talking Will Scarlett from Robin Hood: Prince of thieves, then yes, he WAS hot. Particularly when he did his funky little eyebrow lift thing. Methinks he just didn't age as gracefully or as hotfully as Harrison Ford or Sean Connery.

[evadne_noel]

I'm guessing not. Though I think it's kind of funny you found the eyebrows hot, and they freak out the commentator upthread. Weirdly, I can't remember his eyebrows at all.

How could you not!? :) Costner was too old for us to madly crush on when we first saw Robin Hood, so we all fell for Scarlett and his little song:

"There was a rich man from Nottingham
Who tried to cross the river.
What a joke!
He tripped on a rope!
Now look at him shiver!"

^_^ I like that part.

[evadne_noel]

The problem is probably that I watched Robin Hood: Men In Tights so many times, I have forgotten the original source material.

[evadne_noel]

Oh, man. Heathers. This post is giving me a desire to re-watch tons of 80s/early 90s movies.
