is it a kind of dream?

The dreaded lurgy sucks. I feel like *shit*.

However, I've accomplished Sommersby and Malice today. Again.

God i love Orin, I'd shag him even when he's being evil, and Andy in Malice brings out the mother in me, yes.

I'll be iconning Orin. Yum.

That is all.

THE GRUDGE - okay movie. He jumps off the balcony in the beginning after looking quite sexy out of bed first thing in the morning. SMG does well, i guess, but her movie career isnt exactly blossoming after Buffy, is it?

SCARY MOVIE 4 - okay, hilarious takeoff on the Grudge, War of the Worlds, and more. Leslie Nielson naked? OMG. Charlie Sheen jumping over the balcony with the biggest woodie in the world? Hysterical. OMG. I was in tears laughing at several points. Bill's village? OMG. I is ded of the laughs.

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE - Bill was the cutest allergic boyfriend in the world. Adorkable. I would have married him in an instant, yes. Otherwise, I don't like Tom Hanks so I fast forwarded a lot. Meh.

WYATT EARP - I only watched part 1 because it was long, dull, and Bill died in part one as Ed Masterson, shot to death being the gentle lawman that he was. Good, but slow and a bit dull. I thought Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday was *superb* though.

ALIEN AUTOPSY - stupid film with Ant and Dec, though i love hearing those Geordies talk. I ffwed to the Bill parts, all like 2 of them, and took a few screencaps before ditching it entirely. Bill's adorable with stubble, even if it is going grey - adds a distinguished look to him. Yum.

29 PALMS - again, only watched the Bill part, the rest was uninteresting. Bill was an utterly adorkable ticket clerk at a bus station. I will be iconning his nerdiness.


I really do have a life outside watching movies (though i've taken it easy this weekend because of how hectic the week was and how bad next week is going to be, sigh), but i am enjoying burning through Bill's filmography at record speed, feeding my inner fangirl's insatiable appetite for lust. Yes.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING - at last i had time to watch it in one go. I saved it til i had 90 mins free because i remembered it was a good chick flick from seeing it in the 90s.

I cried. I laughed. I felt embarrassed, shy, nervous for Lucy, etc.

I WANTED JACK - i'd have fallen in love with him if he were a real person. He was just beautiful, and honest, and lovely. And of course, Bill was teh sex. Far sexier than Peter Gallagher and those mile wide eyebrows of his. Yes.

God almighty, the way they fell on the ice, and then in love, the way they proposed at the end, god it was all so romantic and warm and cozy, family around them, loving them, etc. I wish real life were that way.

I ♥ Bill Pullman even more than ever. Yes.

in between real life:

DEAR WENDY: he was barely in it and I really didn't get the movie. Meh.

RUTHLESS PEOPLE: He was the stupidest person on earth. With bad hair. Meh.

BRAIN DEAD (1989): ha ha ha now that was a funny flick. Okay, probably not meant to be funny, but meant to be like some episode from the Twilight Zone - in fact, i think its based on one of the old scripts that never got made into an episode... Good shit. I laughed. Probably wasn't supposed to, seeing as it was supposed to be a serious movie, but when the main character in a voiceover says at the end, after he's dead 'Oh, look I'm dead. This will be interesting...', then i HAVE to laugh. Oh and the fakey open brains - reminded me of the cranial screw-top method from Dr Hfuhruhurr... Tee hee.

Bill was *sexay* with dark hair and nerd glasses in 1989. I would fuck him, yes. Desperately. (points to icon)

I took a few screenshots, especially of that scene. Anyone who knows me and has seen the trailer on Youtube will know which scene I am referring to - its the scene that i remember when i first watched this lump of cheddar a decade ago. Yes. Worth buying the whole damn DVD for. (ask me and I might icon it. or at least I might tell you what i'm talking about)...

Otherwise, it was pure B-movie swiss, though. Which is surprising because he hasn't made too many of those in his career, that I know of. I mean a REAL ED WOOD-FLAVOURED B MOVIE, not just a box office flop.

REVELATIONS (2005): a 6 part miniseries about the end of days. I'm only up to part 3. But as i'm a quasi-christian myself, it seems like pretty good stuff, believe it or not. I hope the end sees it through. Bill is still sexay, even if he has gotten a bit old, and i still want his body.  edited: the end saw it through - that was bloody marvellous. Wow. I still have goosebumps.

The difference between how he looked in Zero Effect (1998) and Revelations (2005) is pretty dramatic. Age caught up with him quickly, and the little pot belly and saggy chin skin he has is a testament to that.

I'd still have him, yes. Deeply and desperately.

I still haven't managed WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, yet. *drums fingers on the desk*

But i did finish BROKEDOWN PALACE, which was good but sad. He played a sexay American lawyer in Thailand, and I wanted to eat him up. Nothing special about it though really. Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale were very good, though.

IGBY GOES DOWN he plays the schizophrenic dad for a few scenes. And gets naked at the dinner table, which was adorable, as his naked arse is [still as] lovely [as it was in Serpent]. Yum. And when he cut his hand in the shower after having a funny turn, i was nearly in tears for him. Such is the acting power of the Pullman. Yes.

LAKE PLACID - aaah i remember seeing that in the cinema, back when i had a crush on him years ago - i went to see it just for him. Woof. A man in uniform is hawt; Bill in uniform makes me want to lick my screen.

I also bought BRAIN DEAD off ebay. I remember it from a long time ago, and remembered enjoying the hell out of its B-movie cheesiness a decade gone. I cant WAIT til it arrives, should be tomorrow. Bill does crazy REALLY well, Long Highway is a testament to that. :D

And I can ignore the sliminess of the Paxton - he doesn't do anything for me whatsoever. Not even in Twister, a movie i saw 4 times in cinema alone (i are a tornado buff. miss exciting weather living in boring old blighty)! I was more excited about Helen Hunt than i was about Paxton, lol ;)

REVELATIONS is on its way - should be very interesting seeing as its a TV series. Still.

Christ on a bike. I am crushing again, hard. Leonie's fandom, you are so fickle...

I have the DVD, so i have lots of very big screenshots. *fangirlgasm*  - I can tell i'm gonna wear out my DVD of this one.

I just LUB the abuse he takes in this film. Of all the films he's done (that I've seen, and i'm getting there on most of them!), this [and less so Lost Highway] are the best for Bill!torture/angst. Yes.

Poor scrotum. Poor forehead. LOVED HIM TIED TO THE CHAIR.

It also looked to me that though he had a stuntman do some things for him, some of the fighting etc, he clearly did a number of physical things in this film himself - falling down stairs and such. Woof.

And Bill shirtless.... *swoon* That man was/is so gorgeous. Nice and skinny, but still completely ripped in my book. Yum.

The plot is okay, I guess. I mean, isnt there a MacGyver episode that's pretty much the same story? Haiti/Little Haiti, and tetrodotoxin / paralysis / zombies, makes it out alive with the girl, etc etc. Still, this was plenty violent and exquisitely torturesque, much more so than MacGyver was, lol. Whee.

Yes to the Bill!torture. More more more! Thanks mooncove, everyone, for the rec!

*dies a fangirly wet dream death now*  - I made icons. :D

Other people didn't like Peter Hall's 1968 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream for the BBC - reviews trash it, etc. But I did.


I made 2 icons, but i can/will happily make more. Especially if people want to see, for example, Ian Richardson with pointed ears and green makeup... :D

A heartfelt thank you to the person who helped me acquire this for viewing.

The Last Leprechaun - obviously done just to pay the bills and keep the daughter/son in LL Bean and Tretorns and Guess jeans or whatever kids wore in those days...

My god, the cheese! Sheer hilarity, yes. No wonder it was a Daily Mail freebie DVD.

But David was beautiful, I'll give him that. A very beautiful ham, in full ham mode.

And his eyes blazing blue. Sometimes they're hard to see because the celluloid has lost its colour over time like the Omen, blending into the greens and oranges of the time. Or sometimes they're really just difficult to see. But this time? Oh no.

Utterly gorgeous, he is, yes. If anyone wants screencaps, I dont mind!

The Last Leprechaun (1998) on ebay for 1p + shipping.

YAY!

Anyone know anything about it?

I got a VHS copy of The Man With Two Brains (1983) at Oxfam today, for 99p.

God i love charity shops. There are 9 up my local high street, and I love going there while pumpkin's in nursery school.

And i ♥ watching David Warner on my tv instead of my pc.
