UNEXPECTED APPEALING INTERNET DATING

[pontisbright]

Dear Facebook,




Do not objectify him, people.

(But srsly, facebook, if you could actually arrange that, y'know...?)

kisses,
Me

Bloody hell, Bonekickers is shocking. It takes a special effort to make telly that badly. I'm vaguely reminded of Strange, which was another case of the wrong people being given a nice budget and a passable idea and pissing it up the wall, but at least they were occasionally amusing about it. *sighs*

This post is worth it alone for the mood icon. I do not remember him making that facial expression at *all*...is that "Visitation" or "Warriors"? All those bright white surfaces begin to look alike.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

I believe it's The Visitation, when he's in the shp and they're firing arrows at him from outside. Alternatively, feel free to sketch in an 'I'm a Little Teapot' pose.

[rhube.livejournal.com]

The mood icon caught my eye too. Good shot!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

That's one bloody marvellous icon you have there. :)

[rhube.livejournal.com]

That's what I said when I nabbed it :-D It's by marah_sarie, who thoroughly encourages the nabbing (with credit) to spead the word!

[wishfulaces.livejournal.com]

A bit too much ginger beer, perhaps.

[gingerelanor.livejournal.com]

I don't get the Facebook thing... Are we meant to recognise him or something?

Awwwww Petey is adorable there. I've just watched Time Flight, and he is SO ADORABLY LOVELY in the deleted scenes. SO CUTE, awwww.

Anyway, yes, Bonekickers, hahahahahahahaha. No coincidence that it contains the word BONKERS?

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

That would be Jensen Ackles, aka Dean 'slutty demon hunter' Winchester of Supernatural. Who very probably doesn't know some dodgy modelling shot of him is now being used to amuse the crap out of me promote a dating agency.

It's lucky he's cute in Time-Flight, really. :)

Bonekickers...oh, not even 'so bad it's good', sorry...

[gingerelanor.livejournal.com]

oic. I've heard that name before.

Yes, Time Flight was very amusing. I was surprised to find myself hoping Nyssa was dying at one point.

Oh, I did like the bit where I was going *oooh I recognise that Chinesey baddie guy, I know that voice, who is it?* and my Doctor refused to answer, and then after two whole episodes of that he pulled his face off and he was Anthony Ainley and I NEVER GUESSED, even though exactly the same thing happened in Castrovalva and in... whatever that other one was where I didn't recognise him either.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Oh, bless you. I would mock but I did totally get suckered by Castrovalva when I first rewatched it as a grown-up, despite the fact I knew damn well he was in it. Though if you didn't recognise Sir Gilles Estram in King's Demons then I shall point and laugh :P

Nyssa's traumatic assault by some bubble bath is one of her finest moments. Sadly.

[gingerelanor.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen King's Demons. I shall keep my eyes open when I do though.

The bubble bath was great.

[rhube.livejournal.com]

I...'m not sure I did recognise him in TKD.

Castrovalva, though - it took a few watchings for me to assure myself that, yes, that was the same actor throughout, and they hadn't actually got some other dude in for the Portreeve.

[rhube.livejournal.com]

To be fair, I didn't really recognise him. The guy in that photo looks a bit foxy. Jensen Ackles generally doesn't do it for me at all.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

I want him to not do it for me at all, because he's such a fucking pretty boy. But, you know, pretty boys are...pretty. And Dean has all that manpain: I am a complete ho for manpain.

[rhube.livejournal.com]

Ah, see, I'm not into Dean's Man Pain, but I'm totally into Sam's Man Pain. Bring on the angst, y'all!

Pretty boys are pretty, it is true.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Sam's manpain bores me to tears, alas (though I like his snark). Which is odd, as generally in these sorts of chalk 'n' cheese guy partnerships, I tend to warm more to the introspective thoughtful moralising one rather than the meathead.

That said, when it comes down to it Sam is Luke Skywalker and Dean is Han Solo. And Han Solo pwns all things. :)

[rhube.livejournal.com]

Nah, see. I like and totally fancy Han Solo. Dean, not so much. He also has a very pointy chin - not that there's anything wrong with that, but it distracts me, and I sit there thinking: your chin, it is pointy (I have no idea why). So physically, I find him unattractive, and mentally, well, I spent most of season one really not liking him (I thought he was gonna turn out to be the bad guy in the first ep) - he's all the worst sorts of older sibling that my sister also embodies. I warmed to him in seasons two and three, but I think I'd still want to punch him if I knew him, even though I now sympathise with his character and quite like him as such. For these reasons, fancying Dean just doesn't come into it for me.

Sam, on the other hand - man, that is totally hitting the right angst buttons for me. And he has good hair (hair is important to me - Five's hair FTW!). And he's so frikkin' tall. I dunno what it is about tall men and me. Experience tells me it's nothing but awkward as far as the practicalities are concerned. But in the abstract... yeah, I'll have me some of that 6ft 4/5, kthxby.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

This cracks me up so much, because honestly the two least appealing things to me about Sam are his hilarious hair and his absurd physique. So you are welcome to him, and I will be over here with the apparently pointy chinned one.

Maybe my Deanlove stems a little from when I started watching: mid-S2, then I skipped back to end of S1/start S2, then watched from the start - so I was already sold on him being dorky and mockable as well as 'the badass'. But am familiar with applying actual!family to television: much of my ambivalence to Tegan stems from childhood viewing and her seeming like my sister. *shrugs*

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

That facebook ad just made me let out such a shocked bark of laughter that I scared a co-worker. Thanks for that. ;-)

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

It certainly surprised me. Either internet dating suddenly started to involve a lot more totty than I've been led to believe, or they are gently fibbing...

[bibliophile1887.livejournal.com]

Well, I met Kirk on LJ. Stranger things have happened, y'know. ;)

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. But 'smexy guy off of Supernatural is your internet date' would be extremely strange...

[bibliophile1887.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I don't watch SPN, so I didn't recognize him.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

It probably makes less sense then. :) I was quite surprised, anyway. Imagine if Lj suddenly started offering you dates with Colin...

[bibliophile1887.livejournal.com]

Ah ...

...

...

...

I need to talk to Kirk. ;)

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[romanticizing.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha that's so amazing. And like everyone else your icon is making me want to watch Five now :D

Yay Han Solo!!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Srsly, yay Han Solo. For all time. Han Solo for Eleven!

[strangefrontier.livejournal.com]

OH JENSEN.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing he doesn't actually know it's there. Unless it's just another Winchester cash scam...

[taleya.livejournal.com]

AHAHHAAA

Not being a SPN fan (despite efforts of both sisters) I don't know him from that, but I did just finish mainlining Smallvilles 4, where he was a reg*. Jane Seymour was his mother!

* He turned out evil. Like they all do.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

His random evilness was highly amusing to me. Especially the 'oh, just throw him off a cliff' ending to that storyline. Oh Smallville writers, we do see what you did there...

Though there was that time he and Lex were shirtless and beaten up in China, which was in no way slashy. No sir.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Ahh Smallville. Never change. Especially Lex, he's such a freakin' manwhore.

Anyone who says they can't see Clex never saw the first two seasons. Or is fucking blinder than a bat.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

The Clex is waaaaay beyond subtext. Have ended up watching shitloads of it due to it seeming to be perpetually on at breakfast, and you would really have to try quite hard not to assume their otherwise wholly inexplicable 'friendship' is entirely filth-free.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Especially since Tom Wellling's Clark is right up there in my personal listings of "characters begging to be filthily debauched", right behind Fivey.

Went off into gales of laughter the other day. Was watching the ep with Chloe's gravestone with the death date of "2004". Later in the ep, Johnathan Kent remarks that Clark is a "17-year-old"....

Tom Welling is a fucking year older than I am, and I sure as hell wasn't 17 in 2004!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Heh. They do suffer from the mysterious TV disease of World's Oldest Teens, indeed. Especially poor Lois. I know she was supposed to be older, but that bit where she was meant to be resitting some high school classes was barking.

Tom Welling does fuck all for me, alas. I drool more over Kristin Kreuk: damn, that woman is beautiful.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

The sad thing is that the woman who plays Lois is our age -and actually looks it, unlike her perennially young co-stars. (Ironically younger than Welling)

I refuse to believe that s1 is set when they're fifteen. I'm sorry, but that's a later-series-Six-sized pile of honk even I won't swallow (Even if Pete looks it)

Welling is odd. he's not my usual type at all, but like JB, one cannot help but simply appreciate a finely formed shape of manhood. Not at all.

Kreuk is visually nice, but damn, after listening to two seasons of her being whiny!shit!Lana, I just want to stuff her in a wood chipper. Mack on the other hand.....

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Lana is indeed 'nice face, now shut up'. Allison Mack = total keeper. The Supergirl girl is, however, one of the oddest looking creatures I've ever seen. Shame they cast thingy as Lois, as I could've bought her as a Super type far more easily...

Welling just seems kind of...blah. But well-formed blah is still welcome. :)

[taleya.livejournal.com]

I spent far too much time ignoring the plot and trying to work out how much of Laura Vandervoort was plastic. The wiki image in particular is terrifying - she looks like a barbie doll come to life (Next generation auton?)

Masters as Braniac on the other hand is a hoot :D Especially since every so often he slips into Spike!accent.

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

He's been randomly popping up on my facebook for weeks. Every time he does I do laugh :D

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

I do like the idea that Facebook ads mocking me for being single might in any way make me want to join their dating agency. Though they do win points for lolarious choice of pic, indeed.

[taperoo2k.livejournal.com]

Those adverts amuse me on facebook lol

I've been tempted to watch Bonekickers just to see how bad it is.
I wasn't that enthused about it when i saw one of the actresses on this morning promoting it the other week. Still it can't be as bad as Primeval series 1 was can it ?

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Bonekickers makes Primeval look like Pinter. Seriously. Primeval is shonky but in a likebale way: Bonekickers aims for hokum and misses by about 4000 miles. Risible.
