I can't believe it.

Band Of Brothers tricked me into liking James McAvoy.

HAAAAAAAAAAAANKS!

OH MY GOODNESS.

BUT JAMES IS AWESOME. AWESOME!! WHY TRICKED?!

Actually I had NO IDEA James was in BOB. I watched that so long ago, all I remember was the hotness of Damian Lewis.

Oi. McAvoy. I'll give you Mr Tumnus, but only because there's something about having a bow-legged faun in a children's bedtime story that just smacks of goodness and decency.

But the rest of it, I just, I don't -- HEY. WHY AREN'T YOU OUT CUTTING IT UP IN LONDONTOWN?

I actually DON'T like him in Narnia because the faun thing is just disturbing. But there's something about him. IDK. He's HOT, and yet NOT.

I am a homebody! Plus, it's also 3am, ha ha. ;)

BTW! I was walking in Trafalgar Square today, and totally thought of you when I saw the lions. ;)

I am hardcore crushing on you right now.

I have never watched Band of Brothers.

Does this make me a bad person?

[katernater.livejournal.com]

No, I think you can skate by. Here, though, they're apt to revoke your citizenship if you haven't watched it.

See, the thing is I want to watch it. However, I was severely scarred by Saving Private Ryan. I saw that when I was thirteen - far too young to be watching movies with that amount of violence and gore in my opinion - it's terrified me ever since. :(

Is Band of Brothers half as gruesome?

[katernater.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen Saving Private Ryan -- mostly for the reasons you described. I was young(ish) when it came out and I think I self-censored myself against watching it because I knew that it would be very violent and difficult to watch. Band Of Brothers doesn't shie away from the gore or the gruesome reality of combat, but it's violence that is well-executed and serves a purpose. This isn't John Wayne's war (with all due respect to Mr. Wayne); this isn't cinematic war with cap guns and squibs. This is real, researched combat reenactment. It's hard to watch. I'm glad I'm watching it, though: it makes me respect that generation and the sacrifices they made.

Still have yet to see Band of Brothers, my boy Jonah saw it and raved about it for like two solid weeks so I'm thinking I need to see it.

And JAMES. See Atonement, if only for him being heartbreaking. I love him not just because I think he's ridiculously attractive, but for me it's more about how fucking awesome of an actor he is. He just breaks me open in some of his parts. :)

Todd gave me the plot synopsis of Atonement over breakfast one morning and, to be honest, I wasn't impressed. I feel the same way about The Kite Runner -- lot of hype, little payoff. I'd just prefer not to.

BUT. Following that stunning display of elitism, you should definitely watch Band Of Brothers.

ROFL @ your icon.

Ahhh see it wasn't the plot that did it for me, it was the way it was shot and the way it was performed. :) Plus...James.

Oh, the Kite RUnner was never interesting to me. It was all just...blargh.

Speaking of awesome HBO miniseries, did you see John Adams? AMAZING.

You can't deny McAvoy. He will creep in unexpectedly and get his head blown off just for you.
