Aha! Rayon and Venus for the win my dear! I'd be over the moon for a drabble about those two! You're more than welcome and I'll see what else I can find. He's one of those actors that has an "oh there's that guy again." I believe he had a bit part in The Crow: Salvation but I'd have to do a re-watch it be sure. He was also in a show called The Shield, which when it was on, was one of my mother's favorite shows - I on the other hand have never even seen it so I have no idea what kind of character he portrayed. I adore him on Justified as Boyd Crowder though. He's a morally "grey" man trying ( and failing ) to walk a righteous path. I can't even! Just thought I'd enclose a favorite fan vid for Boyd. ;) The song just fits so well.





Of any time hun! Marc's not bad looking in the least but that particular role freaked me out. I sat through Hogfather twice or rather attempted to. It's one of those movies that I wanted so desperately to adore but just couldn't get past the laggy parts. Although I will freely admit that every time his character popped up I got a serious case of the heebie jeebies. I'm thinking it's to do with the mismatched eyes but his overall sheer psychoticness ( I can't even think of a better word for it. ) really cinched it for me.  I'd love to see what you've written about him though!

ok, younger Dwight but still. WTF brain? I'm beyond myself at the moment. Well, I'm more baffled and slightly upset with myself because I have no idea where the hell this is coming from. Maybe I've somehow dredged my appreciation for him from memories through my post breakup playlist from The Jerk? I spent some quality time with Yoakam's music after that break up and Buenos Noches from the Lonely Room was worn out over it. *bangs head off of desk* I'm thinking it's because of his philanthropic endeavors and music. ( I'm a sucker for a guy with a big heart and a good song ) this little moment did give me an idea pertaining to a current piece so fingers crossed.

Aha! I just read your little post about this on tumblr and it made me grin. I had to sit there and ponder before actually liking the post! I completely ignored the fact that he wasn't just ' Raoul ' and my brain was sending signals like ' uh oh she's likin' the bad boys ' and it was pretty funny. I can understand why though, with the reasons you've just given and I do look forward to reading through the ideas this has given you! it's definitely nothing to feel bad about!

I'm really agitated over this, to the point where I've been avoiding my laptop for most of the day, but I can't really do that much longer. I was watching The Force Awakens again this morning with my mother and everything was fine, just like every other time, but when I allow myself to think about Kylo, how he ended up turning to the dark side and why it's still so difficult for him to completely make that shift, I got this irritable nagging. I know the feeling because it's horribly familiar and I kept trying to shut it out, like I've been trying all day, because I absolutely do not like Kylo at all. I am so vexed by him, everything he did and the choices he makes etc. I'm usually very forgiving of my weak little heart for developing any kind of crush on a villain; it was easy for me to stay in love with Anakin because he ' saw the light ' again, eventually. I'm very angry with Kylo, though. I can't shake that much. But I do need to vent and get it off my chest that I am somehow attracted to him, now. I think I need to accept it. This sounds really dramatic and I feel a little silly, but I really detest the things he's done, more than that of what Anakin did when fulfilling his final ' task ' in becoming a sith. I'm all over the place. I don't want to like him, at all, but it's unavoidable, I think. I don't know what I can do with it, but I may end up venting by writing drabbles or short stories, just to get it all out of the way, because I'm shockingly pissed off about this.

I'm so sorry it's taken me ages to reply but I totally understand your situation hun. I always thought Kylo as an interesting character to be honest, here's a character that was raised with parents in a presumably loving environment ( I can't remember if the movie touched on this? Forgive my brain fog! ) and here we have to wonder why he's chosen the side he has. Nature vs. Nurture? I do look forward though to your writings because I know you will do his character justice and bring forth a dimension from him that I love to see fleshed out. If I could I'd grab hold of George Lucas and demand he hire you on as a writer because dammit, you're good and you know your stuff!

Now, that brings me to my latest issue, I know I posted about this on Col's account but...Ed Harris. Why oh why am I finding him so interesting? I think it's got something to do with seeing the tail end of Empire Falls ( totally recommend it! Hey, Ed actually plays a decent guy and boy does William Fichtner play a royal jerk.)  the other evening as I was flipping through the channels. There's also the fact that he's portraying a deliciously savage morally grey character on the Westworld series and I just...I've also found Colleen swooning over Frank. Like, no, Colleen sweetie, no. Jackie's pissed over that one as he should be and Shannon's laughing his ass off. Although I've been meaning to explore Frank and Col's early relationship, and see just what made him into what he was. ( I do happen to think that her interest in him stems from the movie Virginia, which I wholeheartedly recommend. Although it's not for every one, deep down it's got heart. )

I know I've probably spammed the hell out of you with reblogs on Tumblr but David Bowie. I have no idea as to why I find him good looking. ( Could it be my love for all things Labyrinth and Goblin Kingy? *shrugs* ) I do know that his music has been a constant in my life for quite a while - isn't it amazing what the gift of a few old LPs and a beat up record player will do to a kid? - and I think it was only after I delved a little deeper into the interviews and his acting career that I truly saw him as something more than just a recording artist who made music that I loved. Does that even make sense? It really still makes my head spin that he's gone I mean his legacy lives on but it still hurts to know that he's well and truly gone. Anyway, wrapping this up - I have no clue as to why I him but I do. P.S. Dear Lord is the muse used as his FC a chatty thing.  ;D

It started out as "who the hell is that guy?" Then progressed to "He looks really familiar."  I'm strictly blaming the movie Seed of Chucky and most recently the television show Urban Gothic for introducing me to Keith-Lee Castle. True, the shows and movies were spaced out quite a bit over the years but it's there. I can also remember him as Clarance the Weasel in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, this was usually the go to movie for the kids at the day care on movie Fridays before pick up in the evening. I have no idea why I find him interesting. Perhaps it's the hair? The voice? The facial features? But I'm smitten and I'm begging forgiveness.  *edit* It's now just hit me like a ton of bricks that he looks like a cross between the guy I used to pine over/sit next to in that psych class and Steve Clark. *continues to wave tiny white flag* Update: Getting a Bowie vibe from him and I've no idea as to why. Sorry...couldn't help myself.

Ah! I was wondering who he was because I didn't recognise his name, but as soon as I looked up images of him, I realised! I used to watch a show by the name of Young Dracula yearsss ago and he was the dad and I was quite fond of his appearance then, too. I don't believe I have seen him in anything else, but this has definitely taken me down memory lane. That show started so long ago! I barely remember what happened in each episode, but always will remember his fangs and long black hair. I'll have to hunt down those movies you mentioned and give them a watch, too! see if I can get those Bowie vibes from him as well :D

Oh my word! That's just popped up in my Amazon Prime recommendations queue over here, I might just give it a go to see what's it's like. He does play a very interesting vamp in an episode of Urban Gothic and his character Psychs in Seed of Chucky is so snarky. Gotta love the snark, same as Clarance the Weasel, really. The children I was with always cheered the weasels on ( smart little ones but still how could they not like Mole and Mr. Toad? )
