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!

Well, that's just as well about you not being that interested, because *you*, missy, need to keep the Wes/Gunn coming! (So to speak.) I mean, everyone's all "Ooh, Angel!" and "Ooh, Spike!" and trying to hook poor Wes up with one of them, when it's *so* clear he and Gunn are Meant To Be. They NEED you, dammit!

But yeah, Troy's definitely a must-see. I mean, my god, Kit pointed out that John Glover is in it too. John G. and Peter O'Toole on the same screen . . . :::head explodes:::

*boggles* jennyo and I were discussing Wesley/Angel a few nights ago and going, "Aaaaaagh! Creepy! Creepy!" Like, it sets off every single one of my alarms as a place not to go. And I *like* the deeply messed up, psychotic relationships. So, Wes/Angel is a big no for me, just 'cause it wigs me out beyond belief and is possibly the single most unhealthy relationship on a Jossian show *ever*. It puts Spike/Buffy to shame. And then there's Spike who, well. Hah. I will not go into that. Let's just say I find it *really* interesting that Spike is avoiding the hell out of Wesley so far.

But Wesley/Gunn! Dude! Gunn was all, "So should I call you Wesle?" and they have adjoining offices and awwww. And the *smiling*! *goes all melty for them*

I draw little hearts around Wesley and Gunn all the time, because oh, with the smiling and the snark and the bedside vigil. blast. This requires a post o' love.

Troy has the best reason to go see a movie ever. Namely, Sean Bean. 'cause I don't think I've ever seen a movie of his where I wasn't vastly entertained.
