A prediction...

Cross the gypsy's palm with silver. I was noodling around on Google just now, riffing off something in an entry of flambeau, and I realized:

Whenever "Troy" is released, we will see a tsunami o' slash that will make LotR and PotC look like puddle-waves in comparison. Oh my god, yes. I mean, not that I know who's playing what roles, but we got Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, Sean Bean, Eric Bana, and various other pretty men I wot not of, all bare-thighed and warrior-like; we got the Achilles/Patroclus thing, which is pretty much Iliad-canon; we got--oh, hell, it's ancient Greeks, y'know what I'm saying?

Various images can be found here, here, here, and here, for starters.

Me, I'm much more excited that Peter O'Toole is in the cast, and also Julie Christie, because they have the Hottitude That Is Ageless. But man. I'm feeling, like, Brace yourself, internet! Slashers, start your engines!

I just want to know when it happened that Brad Pitt went from being a pretty little waif to being jaw-droppingly hot. Was it 12 Monkeys? Or before that, in Seven? Somewhere in there. This is why I don't write off Orlando Bloom, actually. He's still on the waif side of the equation for me, but I can foresee a time when the hot-osity will come shining through. He just needs a bit more mileage on him. *g*

Thank you very much for the Saturday morning droolfest. I've been thinking about you the past few days -- hang in there! {{{{Kat}}}}

You know, excellent point about O.B.--I do think he's one of those who will continue to improve with age. Pretty and all now, of course, but he's got excellent bones, and as you say, with a bit more mileage ... mm-hmmmm.

And thanks for the kind words of support! {{{hugs back}}
