Do You Understand What This Movie's About?!

This post is (hopefully) one of three on a very interesting movie I saw a week ago.

That I will probably see this weekend.

Probably twice.

I think I'll take my mom to see it next week. This might end up being in my top 3 fav movies.

Yeah, I could probably ship just about everyone in the movie XD
but I agree about not wanting to touch the RPF. I can read it for like, SPN but not really anything else. for this movie... that'd be a little too much for me. idk why.

I will definitely check them out. :D
JGL in a three-piece suit does things to me. When did he turn into such a GQMF? I remember him being so nerdy in 3rd Rock...

SPN I feel is a little bit more different, because the actors are a little goofier? I feel like they're kind of in on the joke, even if it makes them a little uncomfortable (understandably).

For this fandom, I feel like it's kind of...IDK. It's sort of a respect thing? I just love JGL so much and respect him so much as an actor that to use his image just to get people off is kind of icky to me. And I know I'm being arbitrary and it's not like I don't respect Jared or Jensen, it's just something I can't do.

UNF. I KNOW. When he was spinning in that room? I was like, "Please have this burned into my brain. Pleeaaase."

But he still is dorky! That's the greatest part! He can be a geek AND a BAMF. My perfect man ♥.

I totally get what you mean re: respect. It's a different situation with people like the cast of Inception vs. the actors on SPN. Jared and Jensen are more personable, more accessible and let's face it, easier to write into porny situations, either AU or otherwise. To try and do that with JGL and maybe Ellen Page would be awkward and uncomfortable because we don't really have a feel for who they are as people outside of some interviews. They don't really have a persona that they use to interact with fans directly like J2 do at conventions. I respect both sets of actors, but it makes me slightly more uneasy trying to use JGL for PWP purposes. Does that make sense?

Yessssss! And when he was fighting in the hallway when the gravity was all screwed up? I got so giddy seeing it again. I think most of his scenes were my favorite (even though the Limbo ones were pretty cool as well).

What I meant was he was this dorky little kid with weird hair, who you'd more likely be friends with than want to date when the show started. Now he's still kinda dorky but it's more mature, it has this sexy quality to it.

I completely get what you're saying. I think maybe for me it's the opposite? Because I've seen SO many interviews, and visited his website and watched a lot of his videos that I kind of feel that he's in a sense being very truthful with his fans, and I think RPS would kind of be a breach of that pact, and pretty disrespectful. I also don't want him to start hating people again :/

YES! That was one of my favorite moments in the entire movie, NGL.

Very true! He has matured into a handsome GQMF.
