Daniel Craig is the Devil, and I mean that in a good way

[rispacooper]

From IMDB:  Daniel Craig and Ewan MacGregor to star in film adaption of the novel, "I, Lucifer" with DC as Satan himself and 
Mac as the writer whose body he inhabits on earth. 

For those of us with mercy/God/Devil/redemption kinks, it sounds...promising...


Book description from Amazon: Duncan's last novel, Hope (1998), was about pornography addiction. Since then, he's apparently found God, or rather, the Devil. His latest novel features the Prince of Darkness incarnate in the body of down-and-out writer Declan Gunn (anagram, anyone?), just about to slit his wrists. The apocalypse looms, and God has offered fallen angel Lucifer a second chance at redemption by enticing him with a month of earthly embodiment--an offer he can't refuse, given his taste for cocaine, sexual mischief, and other evil earthly pleasures. In between acts of debauchery, however, Lucifer/Gunn resurrects his literary career and revels childlike in the Earth's simple offerings: tastes, smells, sunsets, London. He muses theological, contemplating free will and the Fall and thinks about--just maybe--getting back on God's good side. Seduced by our diabolical narrator's wicked humor and Duncan's clever conceit, the novel's Christian redemption moral may catch some readers off guard (wasn't this book supposed to be about evil pleasures?), but they likely won't want to put it down. Duncan's witty and perverse, yet somehow life-affirming, Lucifer is powerful indeed.

I snorted, actually snorted, at that "promising". Hello? This is so you that I anticipate about six years of fanfic coming out of this movie. I re-watched "Casino Royale" last night. Unfortunately, it was with my family so I had to restrain myself from making uber pathetic noises throughout the whole thing. My DC love knows NO bounds. At that last bit with Vesper Lynd when he says "Loathing" I died. Only DC could say loathing in such a loaded manner.

Okay, this is one movie you and I have to see together. In a theater. At a bargain matinee up in nosebleed seats so we can ooh and ahh and drool and pant and all other matter of obnoxious, sexist behavior without getting thrown out of the theater.

I was once rather tipsy in a theater watching Ewan in "Down With Love" and was, yeah, making obnoxious sounds and generally being a horndog.

Daniel and Ewan...I wouldn't even have to be drinking.



R/R btw...you totally shook my faith in my RayK/Fraser OTP. Which is just upsetting. (Like world was flat and now it's not upsetting). IfI hadn't comforted myself by watching teh ghei that is "Mountie on the Bounty" I don't know how I would have made it through. :)

Seriously though. Aieee

A couple of years ago I went to Toronto for a mystery writer's con. I sold a total of, maybe, three books? EXCEPT I got to meet the incomparable heartofslash, a fellow pirate whore, who has this unbelievable passion for Eric Bana. And we went to see Troy (because I have the embarassing hots for Orlando, and she sort of does too), so you can imagine her glee to see them both on the screen of TROY! OMG! That movie is SO SLASHY we were peeing in our pants throughout the whole thing. All this gay subtext, line after line of it. We were seated in front of this older foursome whom I am sure are still praying for our deaths and eternal damnation. We commented and chortled and went nuts throughout the whole thing. At certain points we were in tears we were laughing so hard. Yep, they HATED us.

Anyway, you and I are so there for that movie.

Regarding Ray/Ray. You KNOW that Fraser and Ray are my OTP, but there is really something about these two that works. Part of the fun of writing F/RK is that you've got the Canada thing butting heads against the Chicago thing, and that makes for teh funny and teh angst. But R/R? It works in the opposite way. It gives them a commonality that F/RK can NEVER have. The undercover thing. The Rays get that. The Stella thing. The FRASER thing. I didn't write it because it was already frigging too long, but I had a scene in my head where RayK asks RayV about whether he wanted to fuck Fraser. And RayV says something about how then he didn't because, you know, that was before Vegas, but now? Maybe. So they both want to fuck Fraser. This is the way I made it work in my head. But I also didn't want to minimalize RayK's love for Fraser, which is why I made him a frigging alke. Because he really, really DID love Fraser. Does love Fraser. But is also realizing that maybe he loves Vecchio now.

I read a potter porn story about incest between Sirius and Regulus with some old-fashioned child molestation piled on top between Sirius and Lucius (and eventually Regulus). These are practically all my major squicks. I can handle pretty much anything, but incest and child molestation? Nope. But it was written by a kick-ass writer whose work I've always admired so I read it. And was BLOWN AWAY. One of the best fanfics I've read ever. Fantastic. Sick and twisted and sad and beautifully written.

I'm not saying this fic is anywhere NEAR the perfection of that one, but it's fun to get out of the box, isn't it?

And I have to admit that the Rays aren't half teh cute that RayK and Fraser are.

You are a much braver woman than I am.

I think you could write a Fraser/Victoria that would have me shaking.

[rispacooper.livejournal.com]

its usually the power dynamic of het...for some reason it bugs me with most writers. i get nitpicky. it's like rading slash with that sugary man-cuddles and constant i love yous quality. (or lack of quality)


i have to confess, i have never actually seen the Victoria drama. i know the shooting scene is on youtube. or was anyway. is she truly screwed up or is she more of sociopath with no feelings at all?

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's why I write guys because I can't stomach too much of the mush (although I always go with the relatively happy ending because, shit, if I want to be depressed, I just need to pick up the newspaper).

Regarding Victoria Metcalf, I think the canon sense if that she's a total sociopath, which makes Fraser's motives even sadder. There's a great speranza story about this where Fraser ends up going to Florida to identify her and goes BERSERK afterward and he and Ray go on a roadtrip of epic proportions where Fraser is humping everything that moves (including Ray). And there are some truly great dialogues between him and RayV (who ends up sort of rescuing them). I wish I could remember the name but it's huge in terms of file size so if you go to her site, you should be able to find it among the smaller fics. Lots of hothot Fraser/RayK sex.

I have total love for the sociopaths. God knows why. (Etienne comes the closes, but not quite. I think he's attached to his sisters more than to anybody else. And in a strange way, I can imaginehim all Caligula about it if you know what I'm sayin')

I have total love for Speranza fic too. :)
