Iconmania!
Once again I managed to break a meme. It's a miracle I'm not struck by lightning yet for always getting those chain-things broken :-p I'm finally catching up with all the promises I made back in January when I was on a jetlag-high. Here is my response to the icon-meme that was doing its rounds...
1. Reply to this post and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
(Except of course when you are me and you leave the meme unanswered in your mailbox for months.)

I'll participate in any meme where I can babble about things and people I love. Don't worrry, only the first three are film-related. Although it seems also beyond that subject I'm able to chat endlessly, oops ;)
01. Walken - ...I'm supposed to say "what?"... like I don't get it, right?
The enigmatic Christopher Walken has been one of my favorite actors ever since I saw him break down in The Deer Hunter (1978). Somewhere in the late eighties I rented the video with my brother and I watched it three times in a row. FYI the film is over three hours long. Stunning.
The quote that goes with the userpic is from Wayne's World 2 (1993), which is a completely different film.
I recommend both to see the massive range between serious and funny Walken!
On a shallow note: I adore his hair. Always.
02. DN38416 Reese Sgt Tech-Com - Come with me if you want to live.
Actor Michael Biehn as Lt. Kyle Reese in one of the best films of all time: The Terminator (1984). Forget the special effects of the sequels, this is the heart and core of the story. Spoiler: it is NOT about The Terminator. In the lead an actual 3-dimensional woman. I should really make an icon of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor too, she is such a feminist rolemodel, just like Lt. Reese. Respect is the keyword here. They are both heroes.
03. JDM grabby - How to put long arm to good use
Heehee. Only recently someone else asked for clarification of this pic. It's a shot from the promotional tour of P.S. I Love You (2007) This is Jeffrey Dean Morgan grabbing Gerard Butler's butt (and bypassing Hilary Swank). There is reprocication as well, you can find another image in my iconlist;). The film is a bit of a sentimental story, but a must-see for all lovers of JDM. If anything, just select the twenty minutes of scenes he's in; that's what I force my friends to watch when they come over;). Bring chocolate.
04. GayBoys - Me neither
If I remember correctly I got this image from the Comically Vintage tumblr. It made me giggle. Yeah, me neither *shifty eyes*
05. JDM hands - Jeffrey.Dean.Morgan.
Well, this kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it? If you ever heard me squee about my fetish for hands. And JDM. And skulls. And jewelry on men. *sighs* His full name serves well as a curse. Damn you, Jeff.
06. Doodle Skull - A doodle. I do doodle. You too. You do doodle, too
One of a series of doodles. I've been sketching skulls ever since highschool. Don't ask me why. I like bodyparts; they are all over my house as decorative statements. Piece the resistance is a full size skeleton out of paper I made when I was trying medschool. It's left over from my wish of becoming a pathologist. (I figured out early on that I didn't want to deal with all the living people I would have to study before finally settling on corpses only;)
07. Knufffel - MINE
Dutch word 'knuffel' means 'hug', but is also a word used for a stuffed animal. This yellow bear(?) is always going with me on my travels around the world, even on sleep-overs nearby;). One time I went to London and forgot to bring it (which was an excuse to buy a bear at Hamley's, heh). That was the reason I made an icon; to make sure I'll always have my Knuffel available, even when I'm far away from home.
08. CollarMe - Sssht
This is the lovely neck of Alyson Hannigan, whom I know best as Willow Rosenberg from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The image was not only a Photoshop experiment in colouring, but also kind of outs a side of me I usually keep hidden.
09. SuperTwink J1 - Fiddle fiddle
Ahw, an adorable photo from the twink days of Jensen Ackles, such a precious pouty boy. The fiddle-comment refers to a song from rockopera Tommy by The Who; it's a quote from wicked Uncle Ernie, who loves to touch young boys. Sorry. It's just because this image always makes me feel a little pervy.
10. JDM hands - Jeffrey.Dean.Morgan.
Speaking of pervy images, there he is again. Those hands make me imagine all kinds of things. Pervy things. Good, good, pervy things.
Well, if that wasn't a disturbing peek into my mind. Bet you're happy you asked.

Michael Biehn as Kyle Reece. I still don't understand why Terminator didn't make Biehn a star rather than Arnie (though I'm not knocking Arnie). He did such wonderful things with this role.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan; the hands, the tats,the jewellery... He oozes sensual sexuality and P. S. I Love You is a great girls night movie with chocolate cake and fizzy plonk.
JDM and Gerard Butler... I've just finished writing a story featuring the two of them as stepbrothers; former playboy princes in fact, with Butler as the bad, bad, bad boy and JDM the loving, dutiful brother who covers up for him.

Heehee, that's exactly how my mom and I watched P.S. I Love You. I didn't care for the sentimental bits, but fortunately there are lots of giggle moments. I don't think Jeff ever looked sexier, with the wristband and the ring and the stupid key-chain that got me all weak in the knees. (not to mention THAT scene...) Talk about oozing, gah. *deep breath*
It would have been so awesome to have the two of them on screen together, I sense they have great chemistry. Would I be able to read this story anywhere, pretty please?
no subject
There were some great giggle moments in 'P.S. I Love You', I howled at the karaoke scene. Jeffrey Dean though... So gorgeous and sexy. Have you seen 'The Accidental Husband'? Not the best film but he gets such a lot of screen time and he looks incredibly good.
The story is with my beta at the moment but if you want a preview read you're welcome, though I warn you it is huge!
no subject
Oh yes, I've seen The Accidental Husband, such a lovely film; Jeff really turned up the charm for that one and Uma is great in it. I love that competing husband-to-be Colin is also lovable and not an evil or pathetic charicature. I've watched that film numerous times for all three of the leads *chinhands*
Yay for longfic! With my current reading-list I better wait until it's all done. I'll keep an eye on your journal. Good luck with the final edits!
