My captain, my king

[gwyn]

OMG. Went to the store at lunch and saw the new issue of Vanity Fair, with Viggo on the cover. And tons of photos inside. Gurgle. ::dies::

I'd followed Viggo's career a little off and on long before LotR, and I feel this gives me the right to say: The man gets more and more gorgeous every year. Age is improving him constantly. I think he's actually prettier now than when I first noticed him. There's one picture in the magazine where he's wearing a high-necked black jacket that just... holymarymotherofgod.

And a picture of him in jeans and a... white shirt! Carrying his cowboy boots, and frolicking with a cute Shetland pony... The man is just to die for.

Is it next Thursday yet? That's when I'm schedule to go to RotK. Be Thursday, now!

Allow me to just say: GUH. I've been a Viggo fan since Crimson Tide. And that's saying something, because me taking my eyes off Denzel long enough to notice someone else in that movie? Was not especially likely.

We wants our movie now, previous, we do! Mean nasty New Line keeping our movie to themselves for whole week longer... wicked New Line, tricksy, false!

(Tried to work "crunchable birdses" in there, but it just wasn't happening.)

I know! And in CT, he was all gloriously sweaty and ... conflicted! You do have to be a big hunk o' man flesh to take attention away from Denzel.

I harbor secret shame over GI Jane. I actually spent money to see that in a theatre a couple times because... Viggo in the short shorts, and it was Ridley Scott. But it's not necessarily a movie you want to brag about seeing. ;-)

It's cute how uncomfortable Viggo looks in the fashiony shoots in VF, as opposed to the rest of the photos. He's just so odd, you gotta love him.

Hon, are you going to come to TolCon (http://www.tolcon.org)? We desperately need a few more registrants this week, and the registration is $25 until the end of the month, when the price raises.

I can't guarantee Viggo, but I CAN guarantee fangirl fun!

It's amazing what I end up watching for Viggo.

I have seriously secret GI Jane shame, too. I will, no doubt, watch Hidalgo, and I sat through the re-make of Vanishing Point, which I've heard sucks in comparison to the original.

So, does this mean I have to buy the VF or should I just wait for clever people to scan in the pictures you described?

Hey, if I had a scanner and all the software, I'd buy it, even though I'm very poor this month. But alas, I have no way of doing it. But I'm sure some besotted fan must be doing it as we speak. ;-)

I saw the original Vanishing Point in the theatre (yes, I'm that old), and I remember it kind of sparking my car lust in a big way. I even thought Barry Newman was kinda cool, which... go figure. So it was tough to warm to the remake, but Viggo was just... guh in it, so that made it a lot easier, plus, hey, Peta Wilson from La Femme Nikita was in it!

Hey, I hadn't even heard of this! I will check it out -- though this is a tough, tough month for me finances-wise, but never say never!

Anything is appreciated...and if you have to wait until January to sign up, that's alright too.
