Further proof that I am influenced by peer pressure if only when it comes to memes...

Everybody else is doing it.  And I have lots of pretty icons!  Go here and pick one out.  Give me the keyword.  I'll ramble about it for a bit.  Hopefully it'll be interesting.  Rinse, lather, repeat.  (I'm serious about the repeating.  Pick more than one.)

The Fall is at least my favorite movie of the last five years. It would probably be on my Top Five list ever as well. I really believe that visually speaking (has any movie ever been more beautiful?), that movie is what the medium of film has been aspiring to since the beginning.

But I also think it's perfectly cast. I had a conversation with my professor with whom I shared the movie. He loved it and we talked about the way the movie isn't really like American movies in that it isn't plot-driven or character-driven. It's about the nature of storytelling, the nature of film.

But it tricks you because the actors are just so good that it makes you think it's about these characters, even though it's not. Lee Pace just shatters my heart both with his tragedy and with his weakness. And the little girl who plays Alexandria is a revelation.

This icon breaks my heart, too, because you know there's betrayal in their future, and yet at that moment, there's such an innocence there. It's so beautiful. And the lighting and cropping in the icon just make me so happy.

Wow. That was rambly and long.

I'm adoring your Darla&Dru icon. That screencap captured their faces perfectly!

I'm really enjoying reading your commentary on these. You're so wonderfully thoughtful and can express those thoughts really well too, which is pretty much the best combination. (Me? I am a fan of the rambly and long.)

I'm so very much in love with this movie, and you've summed up why really, really well.

(And haa, I am terribly fond of that icon. Drusilla's expression makes my life.)

Aw! Thanks! You're very kind! I had lots of fun thinking of these things.

(Me? I am a fan of the rambly and long.) Then you're totally in the right place! I am always both of those things.

Juliet Landau is awesome. As horrifically awful as her fake accent is, it's totally worth it because her brand of crazy is unparalleled. Nobody else could do Dru half as well. It's a wonder to me that I've never seen her in anything else. I think she's quite talented.
