I predict that Bana is going to be Troy's Johnny Depp. One look at him and we'll fall into the sands of Malta beaches and mumble 'Who's that curly person in the corner of my eyes? Oh, never mind. Make Hector-eyes one last time, Eric!'

eric bana has been lorded all over the press for Hector, so i'm sure he'll be picking up loads of fans with Troy.

It's a weird combo: there's the trio of lust (Bana-Bloom-Pitt) with Pitt as het outsider (to me although there may be, I predict, a small but fervent trade in Pitt/Hedlund).

Has anybody done Bana/Pitt yet? Now there's a really *new* kind of pairing.

Oooh, Troy! So shiny! So new!

I don't think that's much of a stretch, but I probably don't mean it in quite the way that you do.

Pirates was always going to be Johnny's movie; this was acknowledged everywhere outside of LOTR/Orlando fandom. At least one magazine hypothesized that "even teenaged girls" were going to sit up and take note of Johnny in that film.

With Troy, Brad is a given; he had no equivalent in Pirates. I don't know what's going to happen with Orlando. I can't see it increasing his fan base the way that Pirates did, because while it was most assuredly Johnny's movie, it did huge things for Orlando as well. I don't think critics have decided whether or not they like Orlando yet; I fervently hope he will prove himself in Troy. Whatever Orlando gets out of this, he'll have to do it on screen. Because he's not doing the publicity.

Eric is doing publicity. Eric's name is second billed. Eric is being put out there by the studio. Eric should become a huge star after this. And deservedly so! And if your prediction is that Eric is the one who will sway fond thoughts from Orlando to someone else, for whatever reason, then I have to say I agree. I also think he's going to get slashed more than anyone, between Eric/Orlando (which I still think will be the biggest) and Eric/Brad (which I'm starting to think could come a much closer second than I'd ever have thought, before the interviews).

I think I got off the track of responding directly to what you said. But there you go, anyhow!

Also, I started this before there were any replies (it took me that long to compose, yes), so I didn't see your question about Eric/Brad. I haven't seen anything yet, but that could be because the Pitt slashers (are there some out there? Surely there are) haven't found their way to the communities I know about yet. They're pinging me all over the place, but I'm remaining true to my vow of no Troy slash before May 14. Or I'm trying to, anyhow...

I have no legitimate comment on this. I just wanted to spam your journal with Orlando icons. Because I know that, even when you pretend you don't, you really do love him.

By "on this," I meant "this time." That's probably apparent. I just wanted to give you one more icon.

That one's too arrogant and not curly enough.

My Orli must be melancholy!

Curlancholy.

I don't really love him but sometimes a wave of lust and longing for melancholy!Orli hits me sideways. Your icon's not helping much in preventing the wave.... And although I have far fewer hopes than you do re acting!Bloom in Troy, I do have sanguine expectations of CURLS. And I'm not sure I can withstand curls, acting ability or none.

Me me me!! I'm a Pitt-slasher! Right now, I'm wallowing in the Pitt/Hedlund, but this too shall pass. I haven't slashed him with Eric yet. "Yet" being the operative word here.

I can't stop thinking about them. Did you know they went on a DATE? That's what Eric called it. And I'm willing to bet Brad called it that, too. Brad loved Eric in Chopper so much, he told his manager he wanted to meet Eric. Turns out Brad's manager and Eric's agent are neighbors. And so the boys went on a date. I was actually hypothesizing the date part to [livejournal.com profile] sparcck, when she said, "They DID! That's what they did. Eric said so." I shall get the link from her tomorrow.

I hope I can find a Brad muse/voice. Otherwise, I shall be hitting you up on AIM to write with me. Consider this fair warning. ;p

I have neither a Brad nor an Eric icon. I therefore give Lobelia's post another Orlando icon. I'm not angry, this is just the only Orlando I haven't posted here yet.

*dies* They went on a DATE? We are so lucky. The men we love slash themselves. Sure, hit me up. Brad-voice is ringing in my head all the time. I don't know why it picked me. I'm not- or maybe I should say WASN'T- a Brad fan. Argh.

Aaannnd- we have a complete set of Orlando icons!!

Sorry, but I will never be able to take Bana seriously. One look at him, and I just see the idiot schmuck he was doing his stand-up and sketch comedy. (And I'd say that goes for a lot of Australians. Though [livejournal.com profile] eyebrowofdoom has apparently betrayed us all. *G*)

Ach, Hector-eyes! This film will kill me! So much pretty, so little time. And why did I just take offense to the fact that Diane Kruger is German? Maybe I'm just offended by her blandness. Or maybe I'm offended that I'm not Helen. *pouts*

Lobelia, you've got to help me!!! What has happened to Cordelia? Freyafloyd? My god, I'm getting worried about her! She hasn't posted a thing in her journal since Feb.18th. Is she alright? I've written everyone else that I can think of that may know something.

You're my last hope...

I once emailed her but no reply. [livejournal.com profile] lazlet sometimes telephones her. Cordelia has a job now and she didn't use to have a job so that is probably the reason. There is no evidence to suppose that she is not okay.
