I've discovered that there is no age limit to those who capture my affections. I mean, ALAN RICKMAN, for goodness sake, is how old? But I adore him liek whoa. I think he's so handsome and omg, my heart was breaking for him in S&S! I wanted to beat Marianne over the head and knock some sense into her. Why moon over some unattainable scoundrel who didn't care about her enough to fight for her when there's this noble, caring man who adores her? *flails*
I just wish that we could've seen more of their developing romance- she spent like, 80% of the movie not giving a damn about him and then all of a sudden, theyr'e married? *splutters* I feel cheated!
But god, Alan Rickman is amazing- that scene where she's recovering from her illness and he's about to leave the room and she calls out to him? That pause, the hesitation before he turns back to her, like he's steeling himself, trying not to read too much into her actions and then the surprise and cautious hope when she thanks him. He's so sweet! *snuggles Brandon*
Of course that poetry reading scene is one of my favorites. I don't much care for Marianne, to be honest, she spurned my beloved Brandon for far too long while chasing after younger empty-headed idiots, but when she expresses concern at him leaving, 'You will not be away too long?' I melt at that look on his face. He's so awed and pleased that she doesn't want to be parted from him for too long. *dies* Alan Rickman excels at the non-verbal side of acting, he conveys so much with the tiniest of actions. *sighs dreamily*
Yes, yes, I'll stop with the incessant fangirling now... :P
young woman who loves older men
*high fives* That's totally my thing, too! I absolutely love that dynamic, I'm not a big fan of young couples, I need an older dude who's experienced and savvy, not some young hothead with more enthusiasm than brains. *eyeroll*
Lol, Rufus! 'White folks only want to hear the good shit: life eternal, a place in God's Heaven. But as soon as they hear they're getting this good shit from a black Jesus, they freak. And that, my friends, is called hypocrisy. A black man can steal your stereo, but he can't be your Savior.' *cracks up laughing* This is the kind of comedy I appreciate, okay? Sure, they get gross a lot, but that sort of statement, so funny because it's true, I love it. :D
