( The Fish )
Just for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) thepiratequeen, some stuff about Russell Crowe on Inside the Actors Studio last night on Bravo, which surely must be rerunning again so she can see it ( though she might not take me seriously anyway because I have not been a Russell fan for long enough, heh. )
On a related but silly note: my Inside the Actors Studio Personality Match is Helen Hunt. I was hoping for Kathy Bates or Carol Burnett, but at least it's not Melanie or Gwyneth!
Necessary pimping: Every word of M&C fic ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) astolat has written, which is here, but especially the "Five Things That Never Happened" series. I think I am not feeling compelled to write much fic in this fandom because she's doing such a bloody amazing job. The latest one is in a genre for which I seem to have a perverse attraction -- I've written something like it with Harry Potter characters, L.R. Bowen and Siubhan both wrote it with Voyager characters, and it just does something to me in a fucked-up Ursula LeGuin-Joanna Russ way (wow, I originally wrote their names with a slash between them and didn't that bring up some interesting Crossover From Hell ideas). Anyway, I am utterly and completely in love with astolat's Jack and Stephen in every variation in which she's written them. Go. Read.
And thus ends the squeeage for the morning. Now I have to run out to Barnes and Noble where I managed to talk the very nice sales lady into holding a copy of the ROTK Empire for me, even though they officially won't hold magazines. *squees again* |

| In Which Russell Crowe Justifies My Love |
[Jan. 5th, 2004|11:12 pm] |
From this interview, sent along by X of X Art:
"Will the all-male cast make Far Side of the World a tough sell for women?
'I think there's something delicious in the relationship between the captain and the doctor, what they may or may not talk about and who they are away from their women, and how they behave in this very masculine world,' Crowe suggests. 'There are secrets to be discovered in this film. I think the film will definitely find a female audience.'"
HE GETS SLASH! *swoons* Wow, for the first time I understand why Peter Jackson thought maybe he could play Aragorn. No...don't throw that! *g*
Also, lovely John Noble interview. I don't know whether he gets slash, but he gets Denethor pretty well.
And on a totally un-fun note, linked by cortese, I wish it surprised me rather than coming as something that seems exactly like a Bush administration tactic...( this. ) |
