sff: Wow, Skiffy, you might have done good...

Tin Man = shiny. Also, Leoben is hot in leather.

I've realized something: Torchwood hits that same niche that Farscape did for me. Suddenly, much is explained. (including the lack of fic from me)

But back to Tin Man. I'm enjoying it immensely.

And now for random Aeon Flux commentary, since, while I liked Tin Man, Aeon is HOT. DG is cute, but. Not hot.

It definitely helped that there was Aeon Flux as a chaser this afternoon. A movie full of awesome women being awesome--and the production staff was full of women, too. MWHA. I spent a lot the movie just watching, and a ton of the secondary characters are women as opposed to men. You've got your main women--Aeon, Sithandra, Una, Inari, the Handler, Freya--and then a couple more, mostly random. Then on the male side, you have, um. Trevor, Oren. Oren's henchman guy? Most of the rest are cannon-fodder. Or, and Una's boy.

Sidenote: Is there any Aeon/Sithandra femslash? Because there really should be some.

Watched some of the special features on the disk, and my estimation of Charlize Theron has gone up. Girl trained for three months to get into shape as Aeon, and they said she did more than 95% of the stunts. Now, Aeon wasn't just shooting guns. She was bouncing, throwing herself all over the place--a lot of wire work, but it was still all physically taxing. And she did it, and she seems to have loved it.

Also, Freya is Ianto's girlfriend Lisa. Though she's more awesome in Aeon Flux.

Of course, the funniest part was the two (male) writers going on about how the movie was basically just a love story, and that's what they were happiest about writing. *snicker* Boys like romance too, apparently.

Meanwhile, if they ever do a sequel, it'll have to be all about making babies.

This is the hottest CKR has looked since I was much younger. Want more.

I honestly think it's the leather. Because, man did I sit up and take notice when he walked on-screen.

Well that and they gave him good lighting and a stylized but not wretched hair do and broader shoulders and thereby slimmer waist and, nguhn, hot. He needs to make out with someone. Needs fic. Hell, maybe even a different leoben fic with someone other than kara might do.

ok. dude. The scene where Askadekaphobia steals the life-force from Leoben's ex-boss? I'm telling you, there's a cut, because he and Aska were makin' out for a while. Possibly with sex over that railing.

Totally. Or would have been if there weren't other people in the room. Not that she cares about modesty, but she'll be damned if she's going to 'reward' more than Zero in that way.

Hoooooooooot.

Well, yes. Exactly. *firm nod* Hence, deleted scene where he kicked his men out for a private conference.

He's Punk Ben's evil twin, the slick, leather wearing, sell out evil twin with a goatee.

omg. YES. He is. And Ben occasionally gets postcards from him, and wonders "what the hell went wrong there?" Uncle Simon has disowned Zero, claiming he's from a bad Resurrection Ship.

Uncle Simon is absolutely right and unswayed by hotness. The girls at the office often wonder if he'll be visiting Ben again anytime soon, 5 in accounting finds this all rather annoying and D find him boring, preferring Ben's company and wonders why he always picks on Ben when he comes around.

DUDE!!!

When they were at the mystic man and the guy asked about the answer to life, did you think 42?

Meh. I thought Tin Man was great in concept, bad in execution. Any time the dialogue is so cliche I can tell more or less tell exactly what's going to be said next (and usually quote it five seconds before!), they need better writers.

That said, the steampunky imagery was GREAT. And I would have been tremendously amused if they'd gotten Emily Deschanel, Zooey's sister, to play the sorceress. *evil grin*

I.... Actually, sad to say, no. I was too involved with the story and staring at the decor (I'm such a set/props geek)

I haven't noticed that. *shrug* But it's definitely a ymmv thing.

*snicker* Someone so needs to say that to his face....

You're quite right about Callum Keith Rennie and the black leather, though. And the sorceress. There MUST be a cutscene there involving one of them bent over that railing... *grin*

[identity profile] musicforcylons.livejournal.com 2007-12-04 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Someone does. Somehow I don't thing it's going to happen though unless we both do.

So very pre... HOT! Get it right woman! ;)
