blast and damn
Okay, I need some fannish love here (albeit perhaps temporarily). Anyone else like "X-Men: First Class" a LOT?
Also, I picked up on sale yesterday at the used DVD store a couple of other McAvoy movies I didn't have - "Atonement" and "The Last King of Scotland." I'd intended to getting around to seeing the latter someday anyway for Forrest Whitaker, so I might as well enjoy two actors as one, I suppose. (I've already had a borderline-unhealthy love for "Wanted" the last couple of years. It's concentrated, processed action-flick cheese, but damn if it's not still fun to watch for the great performers in the middle of all of it.)
Also, I have to say it - I don't give a flying fig who celebrity men date or marry. I don't particularly care if some woman is skinnier than me, or younger or cuter - it has no bearing on my life (especially famous women). But I admit, you watch enough actors hook up with young models and other leggy, ethereally-beautiful women, it's very hard to come across someone like McAvoy and NOT like him for being married to a woman 9 years older (two years older than me!) who looks like a regular person, albeit a pretty one.

crevette will appreciate a celeb like this this, and she knows why. Libraries! *G*)
(For the record, I have no clue what The Barrie's wife looks like, nor do I go looking...)

no subject
I think I will have to rent "The Conspirator" when it comes out on DVD. I haven't seen "Penelope," but I may do so now. (I still have to watch the two I bought!)
