don't be dull, be fannish

That film? Is nuts! Buckets o' crazy, seriously. But also awesome. Wanted, I mean, the movie about...


... Wesley, the account manager turned assassin (James McAvoy) and...


... Fox, the assassin who's in charge of him (Angelina Jolie).

I liked that the movie didn't even try to pretend that the Fraternity was pristine and lilly white, they were killers and innocent people got hurt in their line of work. Sure, they tried to avoid it but what was one life compared to the thousands they thought they were saving, right?

Oh my, James McAvoy in this film... *_* That body of his!



Wow, just wow. He had some moves in this film, let me tell you! It actually reminded me of Children of Dune, of that last fight scene in the throne room, where he kicked the asses of his aunt's personal guards!

( I was really sad when... )

And I found this article where Angelina Jolie - who was awfully skinny in this movie, ick! - revealed that she took the part of Fox because she wanted to act alongside James McAvoy: "Then I heard they were casting James McAvoy and I thought, 'That sounds really unusual'. Everyone thinks of him as this sweet, fun guy - which he is - but he's also from Scotland, and that's a tough place." 8)

Oh, and Marc Warren was in this! Who was with James McAvoy in State of Play. Heh. And they filmed it here, in my country! That was the Pendolino train that I always take to Prague!

It kind of reminds me of the British TV series State of Play - the deeper they dig, the more filth they uncover *shudders*

And just because: a James McAvoy State of Play pic spam!

( 20 pictures cut! )

Isn't he just cute?! *pinches his cheeks* ;P

Man, I'm enjoying the show more than I thought I would. Yeah, I still don't like Cal - he deserved to be fired on spot for what he did, it was so unethical it set my teeth on edge! - and if Della stopped complaining, I would be much happier, but it's fun to watch the team untangle all the threads.

But mostly, I enjoy Dan, Helen, Pete and Cameron - and Sid, for that matter - being awesomely awesome together! For me, they are the heart of the show, not Cal or Della or that cheating politician. Oh, and hey, it's that blond guy from Hustle!

I LOL'd when Sid told them proudly - and in detail - how he seduced Dominic. Man, they had a blast listening to it. And Cameron's "I'm not talking about Foy... toy... boy... sex... shock knock!" And then, when Cameron told Dan that his one-time journalism lecturer worked for the company they were investigating! That she used to have a weakness for "twitchy young undergraduates" and the laugh Dan and his dad shared, LOL! Oh, and Cameron didn't mind Dan calling him 'dad' at the office, ha!

You know, boiled down, I think I'm enjoying Cameron, the chief editor, and his son Dan most as characters. Cameron rocks, seriously, the way he handles the cops and all the problems his staff tends to cause. And Dan, I adore that, even though he's the only freelance there, he has the most calming, charming presence of all of them, keeping the team together when they start snipping at each other. And it's adorable how much he loves his wife :) I would've preferred if the show focused on those two rather than on I-can't-keep-it-in-my-pants!Cal and whiny!Della.
