Afternoon my honeys.

[we_love_smudger]

And let me tell you why I have spent the last five minutes in hysterics of the best kind. Because in an attempt to find out whether the new Alexander fillum was going to represent excellent value for this fangirl's hard-earned slash dollar (i.e. will there be more snogging than a sponsored snog-in between Alex and his beloved Heph), I discovered

*grin* That makes me feel so much better about that film.

You know, Brad Pitt turned down the role of Hephaistion. As well as vetoing any homoerotic Patroklus stuff in Troy.

[we_love_smudger]

Hmmmm. Mr Pitt/Aniston. He's a f***ing kill-joy. Someone should tell him it's only acting and everso authentic. I didn't bother with Troy after a friend told me that the Achilles/Patroclus relationship had been bastardised. *sighs* Thank God for football and thank God for slash.

Be glad you didn't waste your time on Troy. I went to it, and was wondering WTF when I realized that Patroclus was in the closet (so to speak). Didn't realize that it was Mr Pitt's fault...what was he afraid of ? ;)

I did hear that the studio freaked and cut most of the homerotic stuff out of Alexander (which is why it's delayed, apparently)...so it may be less than the sum of it's parts. But Colin Farrell is not too hard on the eyes...

When I look at him in his Macedonian fancy dress all I can see is the syrup. It looks as if it would burst into flames in direct sunlight. Was Alexander blonde? If so, let Smudge play him. G Neville as Heph. I keep casting and re-casting this in my head and it's not healthy :)

Hehe. I swear I've heard/read that line before, but I can't for the life of me figure out where.

I will be seeing the movie, most likely several times, regardless of the slash factor, because it's Alex. And he was Great. And that's all there is to it, really.

But hee! to your scenario. Perfection.

But hee! to your scenario. Perfection.

Danke. The slashy domestic arrangements of England's Finest are a study of mine. One day we WILL see Stevie pushing a shopping trolley around the supermarket while Danny plods gloomily along behind. David and Gary. Married. Stevie and Danny. Married. I love it when they are so obviously married.

No, that's not the cutest image I've ever imagined. Only you know it totally is!. Come on Danny, food shopping can be fun!

[dustbinflower]

definately going to see it. won't be the first time I've paid to see a movie only because there was reported boy-on-boy action. This one would at least offer some cheap entertainment on the way, hopefully. (other one was Elephant, which sucked in ways I'm not even beginning to describe other than artsy for the cause of being artsy just doesn't suit me.)

Heee Carra/Mikey twins! what lovely babies.

[we_love_smudger]

Oh but I love the fangirl brain. It's honest and true. Elephant? Should I know it honey? I've LOVE to know exactly how it sucked and why you thought it wouldn't :)

[uberwald]

ooh, now that does sound more promising. Despite the kicking Troy gave my Slashing Classicist heart, I'm still well up for this one, despite the fact that watching the trailer I was the only one in the theatre to greet Col's cry of 'You do this for the glory of Greece!' with 'Well you don't, yer fucking Macedonian.'

But it's Col and he's a tart and there will be thighs. So I'm still geeked.

Come on then chaps, names for the Owen-Carragher twins...

I knew something was off when I heared him yell that one out.

[we_love_smudger]

Come on then chaps, names for the Owen-Carragher twins...

Stevie and Danny of course ;)

Colin Farrell's wig is rather a distraction. But Jared Leto is fair dripping with eyeliner in the stills so I am remaining optimistic that although the fillum might be pants, there will at least be squeeee. :) And yes of course. I'm thinking Becks/Alex & Gary/Heph. *sighs*

[tasheila]

The twins will probably be given nice, proper names like Nicholas and Andrew, but Carra will give 'em 'ard, scousey nicknames. :D

Mind you, Danny always gets defeated with Stevie's thighs, only fair that he gets to do it to Stevie. ;)

I think it's the Alexander myth, or Illyad, where this quote comes from: "Have you no regards to my kisses..." I don't exactly remember the same quote, but I think I used it in context to S/D. Preferably playing at Gladiator and Emperor. ;)

[we_love_smudger]

Preferably playing at Gladiator and Emperor. ;)

And who my dear, is who? As I am an enthusiast for social inversion, it would be Emperor!Dan yelling "Yield slave!" at Stevie in Latin. And yeah. Stevie has the thighs for the role. I think we are ALL agreed on that :)

[tasheila]

Stevie's the galdiator, obviously. They sell t-shirts of him in Anfield with his head stuck on Russell Crowe's body, with the slogan: "At my slogan, unleash hell." Which I want, but I'm afraid to ask the YNWA-ers for it, lol.

Emperor!Dan. When they're in bed, he always does that thumb up thing. :D

[we_love_smudger]

Which I want, but I'm afraid to ask the YNWA-ers for it, lol.

Have no fear babes and ask away. God what a wonderful tee-shirt to have in one's possession.

And I'd comment on the thumbs up thing. But am half-cut after ANOTHER Xmas gathering and afraid that my answer may verge on the porny :)
