oh twelve, bitch

[angelgazing]

So. Due to a stroke of genius on my part, I decided that I should stop reading O12 fic until after I've seen the movie. Especially since I had the movie in my possession and just didn't want to stop reading the fic to watch it. It's like a thing.



1. I do not like Julia Roberts. Even through the greatness of her playing Tess playing Julia Roberts. She really, really does play the role all wrong. She's too fucking serious for these movies.

2. I totally should've left the gray-hair gag in that long ass Rusty/Danny fic I just wrote. There are like two people who know what I'm talking about, but still. I mean, dude. ::facepalm:: It was so there. With the whole "Rusty isn't fifty. Does he look fifty? Do I look fifty? Do I look fifty to you? How old would you think I was? FORTY-EIGHT?! Do I look fifty?" ::giggles:: And. Yeah. That amused me. I will not go back and rewrite that scene as an add-on to anything though, because goddamn it that fic was 22,000 words.

3. Rusty is in love with Danny. Danny knows this. Danny dislikes Rusty's girl. Rusty dislikes his. "Wash she worth it?" "Was Tess?" heh. No, I'm not just hearing what I want to hear. Really.

4. There should be Brad/George RPS I am vaguely in love with Brad Pitt's mouth. And I don't like RPS. Really. ::is shifty::

5. "Huh" as a response to a dramatic situation never stops being funny. I still giggle when Mal does it, I suspect I'll still giggle when Rusty does after a couple more viewings.

6. There should be more movies with Brad Pitt in a bathrobe and George Clooney in a sort of undone tux where they're sitting on the couch in a hotel room and drinking a lot. Especially since you have to wonder how it came about that Rusty got to be undressed.

7. I may have something of a baby crush on Linus Matt Damon. Shut up. Seriously. I mean the guy went from movie with the fight where he gets the better of a guy who has a knife with an ink pen for fucks sake, which is hotness enough, to the shy, sort of bumbling kind of cute kid in the heist movie of slashiness. The boy is clearly love.

8. Canon is so easy for me to ignore/wank away it's scary. Oh, yes, watch me reason all this away. Give me a few more viewings and I'll be ranting about this bitchtastic bunny where the whole thing with Isabel is just to get back at her for something or another.

9. Rusty is a terrible thief without Danny. Look at how much he almost got caught.

10. Love will not cure boredom. So don't even try.



And. Er. Spoilers there if you haven't seen it and care to.

I'm pretty anti-RPF, personally, but there was this article a few months back, about Clooney lending Pitt his villa (the one they all stayed in while filming in Italy, apparently) while Pitt was dealing with the whole split from Jennifer Aniston/hooking up with Angelina Jolie thing, and Pitt was all, "George has been so supportive" and then Clooney went for back surgery, and I was like, the fanfic basically writes itself. So that's the only time I've ever been tempted, but then I remembered actors are boring, and went back to the characters.

1. I do not like Julia Roberts. Even through the greatness of her playing Tess playing Julia Roberts. She really, really does play the role all wrong. She's too fucking serious for these movies.

Yes. Exactly. On a meta-level, it was hilarious, but god, she was shrill.

I am vaguely in love with Brad Pitt's mouth

And his jaw. His jaw is... guh...

As for Isabel, I always figure Danny and Rusty are too professional for her, and she ends up with the Night Fox. Actually, I think Isabel/Night Fox is my het OTP for O12. She's awfully sparkly whenever she talks about him, did you notice?

Personally, I'm fond of the story were Brad Pitt got Clooney back for a practical joke by sending out a memo saying that he (Clooney) was only to be called by Danny or Mr. Ocean. ::giggles:: Then again, I'm easily amused.

But yes. Yes, actors are boring. I mean, also, I have issues with wanting to get characters right and I can't if it's actors and I'm not making much sense. So, uh, never mind.

Oh, yes his jaw. He has a very nice jaw. And nice hands. I like boys with nice hands...

::snorts:: I think I actually knew your thing about Isabel/Night Fox, because that's all I could think of when she was talking about him was "so she leaves Rusty for him?" and that's probably why I should've watch the movie and then read the fic, but pft. Forget that.

It does make canon a very tricky proposition, yes.

I'm actually surprised no one's written Rusty/Topher Grace.

Oh, yes his jaw. He has a very nice jaw. And nice hands. I like boys with nice hands...

Oh, yes he does. I made an icon of the scene where he's in Isabel's apt and his finger's in his mouth and... why did I not upload this icon?

*flails*

Ah, here it is...


I need to put that in rotation, stat. (which now makes me want to watch old ER reruns with Doug and Carol. Sigh.)

all I could think of when she was talking about him was "so she leaves Rusty for him?"

Hee!

I have obviously been a bad influence on you.

...

Score!

Actually I'm surprised I haven't written Rusty/Topher Grace. The lack of it makes me want it more. I refuse to go there, yes, but still.

OMG ICON! With the finger in the mouth and the guh. GUH. ::clears throat:: I mean, that's very good. lol

You're a horrible influence. It's terrible. Tragic. A lot of other bad things... :p
