Karl!

[lobelia321]

Some of you know this already but yesterday I booked myself into our uni's screening theatre, took along my NTSC-format video (courtesy of Kia! does she have LJ?) and finally watched . The Price of Milk.

It is a really nice little film actually! So in addition to some excellent Karldrool(and I must say, it was excellent -- more on that in a minute), I ended up with a bit of Harrydrool into the bargain for being such a good little director. *pats him on head* They did gack a bit off Kusturica's Time of the Gypsies (walking cardboard box) and they did trot out Maoris as representatives of the spirit world (how often have we seen similar in films?) but nice locations, great laconic dialogue, lots of cow stuff and weird interesting little semi-magic realist (yes, gloriamundi!) story that affirms true love (aww; so satisfies sap desires as well).



Karldrool includes: his naked bottom (I can't believe I actually rewound the tape and hit the pause button: mental age of 3); his *freckled* shoulders and back (how cute is that??!!!), Karl kissing (a woman, but you can't have everything), scruffy hair, and the realisation that he's actually quite a good actor. (That one's always a relief.) He's got a very expressive face.

And the accent, well... *excuse me while I laugh* I did lol several times because, ahem, Australians and daggy semi-honorary Australians like me just cannot take the NZ accent seriously. "Oi dudn't thunk seew." Well, it certainly demystifies the man! Although, as certain people pointed out to me, it is also a rather sweet accent.



What's nice also is that you see his bod a lot and that it's just a normal, everyday man's chest and waist, an actor's body not an Olympic athlete's body. Not being exactly a marathon runner myself, *g*, I can relate! Oh yes, and did I mention: he is sex on legs.

Have been karldreaming ever since. But, *g*, I wrote 'Crabs' before seeing the movie!

I love the accent.

And everything else.

Glad you finally got to watch it.

*mwah*

I agree, a very nice film. Something different then what we usually get here in America, which is a nice. change. I was snickering throughout the movie over Karl's infatuation with his cows. Silly man. And that squeaky voice he used when his girl lost them? Oh, Eomer... I don't know what to say, except:

Sex in a huge tub of milk. Damn.

Sounds very yum. I do believe I'm going to have to get my hands on this. The NZ accent is kinda funny, but also very cute. Coming from Karl, it will probably just make me melt!

I love that movie! And the accent? Gah! Kills me every time I watch it.

And I heartily agree about the droolage over naked bum and freckles and scruffy hair and all of it. The squeaky voice when he loses the cows? Too cute!

Karl's a wonderful actor. Can't wait to see what he does with Eomer.

Gah! I'm so jealous. My video library does not have it - they had not even heard of Harry's other film, "Topless Women Talk About Their Lives", which even I had heard of quite independently of fandom.

Freckled shoulders! Boh.

Obviously, I'm going to have to work harder.
