Top shelf hundred percent

gwynI am still sort of undecided about Yuletide, but I made some nominations anyway, and used one of my slots to help out a pal since I was so undecided--then promptly remembered things I wanted. So I had to fill out the wishlist form, though I highly doubt anyone will nominate one of them, at least.
I nominated Selfie (Eliza Dooley, Henry Higgs, Charmonique Whitaker), The Hitman's Bodyguard (Michael Bryce, Darius Kinkaid, Amelia Roussel, Sonia Kinkaid), and Political Animals (TJ Hammond, Margaret Barish, Agent Clark). My wish list includes Kings (Jack Benjamin), Logan (Logan and Laura Kinney), and most of all The Bronze (Lance Tucker).
What can I say, Hitman's Bodyguard and The Bronze are objectively stupid and terrible movies, but Hitman's Bodyguard is often hilarious and Sam Jackson and Ryan Reynolds have such amazing chemistry I didn't care, and the production values are high. I never totally understood the appeal of Reynolds (outside of Deadpool, and even that wears thin at times), but the salt and pepper in his stubble and hair and his impeccable clothing really worked for me, plus there's an insane, hilarious cameo from Richard E. Grant in the beginning that I'm convinced is basically Withnail 40 years later. And the Bronze is terrible, awful, inexcusable, but it has an amazing performance by Sebastian Stan that I feel like a Yuletide story could do A LOT with (and also he's naked for a decent minute of time). He'd be a great foil for a crossover if someone set him up with an Evans character (sometimes I hate that sort of thing, and sometimes I loooove it, like my gift a few years ago with TJ Hammond and Steve Rogers), especially someone like Jake Jensen or Johnny Storm.
This was gonna be the year I focused my attention on The Losers, so I was kind of devastated to find out it had topped out, and also Band of Brothers topped out too. Sigh.
