this is a viable skill, yes?

It only took me 3 brief shots and two lines of dialogue to realize that a random guest character on Xena was played by Marton Csokas. He was tied to a cross at the time, which may have helped. In my mind Marton Csokas is permanently associated with bondage, ok, don't judge me ( Read more... )

xena, i heart cartoons, my kinks are obvious

O hey I somehow didn't see this post.

He was tied to a cross at the time, which may have helped. In my mind Marton Csokas is permanently associated with bondage, ok, don't judge me.So is that just because of Xena, or has he been in bondage in other films and TV shows? Because I don't recall nearly enough bondage the times I've seen him in things ( ... )

This is funny because I just fixed a few typos in the post an hour ago. Clearly the universe is protecting my image by cleverly hiding evidence of me being a dumbnut.

Well, there's a LOT of bondage in Xena, then that Bourne scene I mentioned. I think he gets tied up in Kingdom of Heaven-- at any rate, he's a powerful man who is then defeated and humiliated. Trevor Goodchild in Aeon Flux might not have gotten tied up but he was manhandled and dommed by a woman iirc. Csokas plays submission and dominance both so well, and bondage is a symbol of that rather than a necessary component (but more bondage is always better.) He just. He makes me very happy onscreen ( ... )

Ah, see, I've seen neither Aeon Flux (didn't like the cartoon) nor Kingdom of Heaven (never got around to it, also didn't want to cop to still thinking Orlando Bloom is cute), so that's why I'd have missed it, and for some reason the only other film of his I can think of was that teeny tiny role he had in Lord of the Rings where he was onscreen for maybe a minute. He was Galadriel's husband. There was no bondage. I'm not sure elves believe in it.

*askomdaoishf I want to see that episode so very badly. The thought of Urban!Cupid pouting and sulking at Kevin Sorbo is a mental image I shall treasure forever, or at least until it is replaced by an actual image.

I LOVE SWEET BADASSES. That makes me even more excited for Boreas. And for a love story on TV I might actually like, which doesn't happen all that often. Also I went and Googled pictures of him and he somehow manages to be very, very lovely without normally being my type. I think it's all the braids. They're so intricate and I want to play with them ( ... )

I didn't like the animated series either-- I watched a couple of episodes as a child and it gave me a phobia of severed limbs that persisted for years. Blegh. :/ The movie is much more palatable; it's not as dark and Aeon doesn't die horribly every 20 minutes. I remember watching it more than once, so I must've liked it. There's one sort of spine-shudder/gross-out moment I remember, but there's an element of body horror to it (not mindless gore) so you'll probably like it. (which is not to say you won't also be squicked, but oh well ( ... )
