Haven: Orlando Bloom, what were you thinking? And Sang-Doo because I love some Rain

[dangermousie]

Saw Haven tonight. It was a uniformly uninspired movie which had no point whatsoever. It had so little point I can't even summarize it in any coherent fashion except to say it's all about a bunch of people living in Cayman Islands. I wish I had a ff button in the theater, but Orlando Bloom looked yummy. Since I went to see it for him (he's the only Hollywood actor I'd go see a movie for though there are a number of Bollywood and dorama actors to whom this applies) I have no complaints on that score.

But the screenwriter for this movie needs to go back to school. And please, take the editor with him.

But a hint to the whatever-her-name. When you have a half-naked Orlando Bloom in bed with you, asking 'are you nervous' as he prepares to make love to you, the proper response is to say 'hell no' and jump his bones. Not to discuss his plans for his future life and possible lack of direction. Also, Orlando is supposed to have acid thrown in his face by his gf's horrid brother and it's supposed to ruin his life, screw up his relationship, turn him into a recluse and he is all moany and whiny about it. Legitimate cause for griping on his part, I admit, except for the fact that the make-up department clearly thought 'OMG! No! It's Orlando Bloom, we can't ruin his face!' or else ran out of make-up, so what he got was the lightest almost-invisible faint scarring on a teeny tiny part of his face that still made him frelling attractive. So as the end result I just wanted to tell him to stop being such a diva as he still had a good chance at winning hottie of the year contest.

Also finished (finally, schedule has been nuts) the second episode of Sang-Doo, Let's Go to School and so much love (I had some posts about it back which has a summary, click on the tag). Love how SD tells the girl that he is never letting her go again and she asks him 'do you know I am with someone else now?' and he says yes. Mmmmm. Or the look on his face as he sees her try to slash a student's tires unsuccessfully (the student is her bratty younger brother and they are having a sibling fight) and he just glows amusedly, in a 'that's my girl' kinda way. He loves her all fierce (and then he takes apart the bike himself,:P). Also, scary levels of eyefucking and so far this is very funny and sweet but I am sure angst is going to hit as this is a Korean dorama, and also, hello? He is a gigolo with a ruined life and a sick daughter and she is with someone else and there is all that mess of their misperceptions of each other and their pasts and guuuuuhh...

Orlando Bloom ~ I love him too. I think I developed a major crush when I first saw him in Lord of the Rings.

Sang Doo ~ that scene when he takes the tire apart is so hilarious. And when he flirts with his women clients, OMG I hurt my cheeks from laughing so much! What do you think of Eun Hwan so far?

Mmm, Legolas! I remember being outside the theater where a LotR movie was playing (can't remember if it was ROTK or TTT) in line and some sorority-looking girls driving by chanting 'Legolas Legolas Legolas.' Heeeee.

Re: EH. I like her. She's feisty and fun and cool.

You watched a movie for Orlando Bloom? Oh my God, I think I may need to defriend you! That is a heinous, heinous crime.

P.S. What's your icon from? It looks vaguely familiar but I can't place it.

Ahhhh, the irony :P It's Orlando Bloom and Eva Green in Kingdom of Heaven (I think it's the only OB icon I have).

Don't defriend me? :) I love watching OB because he's pretty. Oh so pretty. Not the world's greatest thesp, but decent enough. And most of his movies (LotR, PotC, KoH, Elizabethtown) I would have watched even if he wasn't in them :)

P.S. Ooooh, unearthed my other OB iocn :P

Aaarrrrrgggghhhhh! My eyes, my eyes.

Fine, kidding. I won't defriend you over this. I'm tempted, but I'm also a charitable woman who is sympathetic to the vagaries of individual taste (I was going to say mental illness instead, but then I decided that would be nasty).

But if you ever put up an icon featuring, say, Kevin Federline, I am getting on a plane and coming to stage an intervention. You'll need to be saved from yourself.

ROFL. Not sure who KF is except Mr. Britney Spears so I think you are OK :)

Oh-uh ... I had some high hopes at least for Haven .. but recently he only made box office stinkers. At least the director's cut from Kingdom of Heaven is now released and much better than the theatrical version.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I actually liked KoH theaterical cut, but agree, DC is much much better and actually makes for an excellent movie. *sigh*

I rec waiting for DVD with haven if you need your OB fix. He's in only half of the movie at most and the movie itself is lame lame lame.

Going to draw me a Legolas instead, I guess ;)

Exactly...
