I cannot believe they're making another Sharpe movie. Don't get me wrong, I harbour a deep and abiding affection for Sean Bean's ass in those tight breeches the original series, but come on! Am I the only one who saw Troy? Sean Bean's like seventy years old. They're going to have him pushing a frickin' Zimmerframe across India, "dramatic tension" arising when his arthritic hands can't fire the bloody rifle in the heat of battle and the only way he's goin to rip anybody's bodice is if Emily from the Corpse Bride happens to be available. It's going to be that episode of Kim Possible where Drakken creates an army of old people all over again, only not good.

On the other hand, the opposing side is going to be fucking terrified when they realise that Britain can apparently raise the dead and force them to fight for us. Bet Napolean wishes he'd thought of that.

In other news, a shiny meme:

Ouch... aren't you a little harsh in your judgement?
I have to admit that I was sceptical too. But the first pictures are very promising, he really looks good back in uniform!

[dissident-dream.livejournal.com]

I think its quite hot

[froodle]

Jesus! Can't you at least be consistent in your perversions? First it's innocent underaged boys, now it's senior citizens. Madame, you sicken me.

And without the added attraction of lemon squares.

[froodle]

Oh man, that would be about the only thing that could save it from a mire of suckiness - the last line in the film is the Indian warlord dude being like, "Patrick Harper, you think your lemon squares are all that! But they're not! They're not!" and then climbing into an ice-cream truck and driving away.

Admittedly, the last thing I saw him in was Troy, and he may have recovered from what I can only assume was a horrible wasting disease that made him look like the Yorkshire version of Yoda, but I hold out little hope. Even airbrushing has limits. Maybe they could like, cut out a picture of him ten years ago and superimpose it over him all the way through the movie, like when Ben Affleck was in South Park and they pasted his head onto a cartoon body.

Ultimatly it doesn't really matter, since I'll end up watching it anyway, even if I am glued to the TV from sheer horrified fascination as pensioner!Sharpe storms the impenatrable fortress, ravishes Buxom McWenchly and subsequently has to have a hip operation due to overexertion in the line of duty.

Big Wolf on Campus

Guess: Vince

Eerie, Indiana

Smallville

Angel

Guess: Wesley

The rest of the fandoms I don't remember enough characters or am not familiar with the fandom to make a guess. ^_^

[froodle]

Right on everything except Wesley, who, while briefly cool in season 2, degenerated into total annoyingness when Fred came into the picture.

[ajmckay.livejournal.com]

I've only seen a couple of episodes of Angel and I was going to guess Spike, but I remembered he was only in the last season. Is it Angel?
