- I’d never read Tolkien in school though many of my peers had. My first experience with it was when I saw Lord of the Rings. I fell in love with Hobbits, Elves, Humans, and Dwarves and ended up going to see the trilogy more than once. I own all three films. I actually read the books after I saw the movies and slogged through them. It was difficult but I found it a rewarding experience. I never did read The Hobbit nor have I seen the Hobbit films. I tried to watch part of the first one on Television and grew quickly disinterested.
- I had never read the Harry Potter books prior to seeing the first movie. I loved the movies though. I preferred Richard Harris as Dumbledore, but alas he had to go and die. I thought he was a fabulous actor in everything he did and to me he was a more sympathetic and whimsical Dumbledore. I own all of the movies from this series too. I bought the books but in all honesty I found them nearly impossible to read.
- I’ve always loved Star Trek. I can’t say I initially shipped Kirk and Spock but I certainly did later and well before the reboot movies. I’ve loved and watched all versions of Star Trek except I still haven’t seen Voyager or Enterprise. My plan is to someday. Like most, I hated the movie Generations for what it did to Kirk (And Spock, really, because of the whole Antonia nonsense).
- I was ecstatic when the first Star Trek reboot movie came out and I loved it. Seeing it multiple times. When I first saw it, though I agreed Jim was cute, I didn’t go crazy for him. It wasn’t until I owned the movie on DVD that my obsession with Chris began. I also began taking note of Zach. Once I did that, my fanfiction “career” began. I never ever liked the Spock/Uhura pairing because I already shipped Kirk and Spock from TOS.
- I’ve probably seen every episode of Ironside, Colombo, McMillan & Wife, and Murder She Wrote
- I had a gigantic crush on Rutger Hauer in Ladyhawke. He was so badass with his armor and giant sword and turning into a wolf. Such a romantic, tragic tale. But it annoyed the crap out of me that she only ever called his hero, Etienne Navarre by his last name.
- I liked the first three Star Wars movies well enough but I still wonder what the fuss is about
- I own Halloween and Halloween 2
- I didn’t learn to drive until I was in my 30s
- I loved the show The Wonder Years
- I loved the mystery and weirdness of Twin Peaks until they made it about demon possession
- I drink cream with a little coffee (this is referred to by me as the Coffee of Love)
- I like beer and wine but I am not much of a mixed drink drinker
- I love every kind of seafood but tilapia. I even eat it hardcore raw like sashimi
- I’ve tried frogs legs (sorry Kermit), snails, and rabbit (didn’t like any of them)
- I do not like ham but I love bacon and pork chops
- I’ve needed glasses since the 9th grade
- I’ve considered the FBI, acting, journalism, and historian as careers in the past
- I prefer Stephen King over Dean Koontz but have widely read both
- My favorite move used to be The Godfather. I still like it a lot but it’s been taken over a long time ago.
- I took German in high school
- Eeyore once pinched my butt
- I used to voraciously read books on the mob (Lucky Luciano, Myer Lansky, Bugsy Segal)
- I freaking love the first 6 seasons of Midsomer Murders
- I loved the first two seasons of American Horror Story (Zach was in both, coincidence? I think not), but haven’t been able to stomach the gore and horror of any other seasons
- I actually liked the movie Agent 47: Hitman with Zach and own it. He looked hot in it
- I think the first two Spiderman’s with Toby Maguire were the best superhero movies ever made. Next comes the first Avengers.
- I love the main theme from Cider House Rules (it’s also the theme for the commercials for Michigan’s “Pure Michigan” tourist commercials narrated by Tim Allen)
- I sometimes just sit and play Spirk videos for hours
- I love role playing video games and was a huge fan of Final Fantasy
So in my quest to see just about everything CP is in, last night I finally got around to watching Smokin’ Aces. This is something he did somewhere around 2006 before anyone really knew who he was. I actually still know people who don’t know who he is. But I digress.
He doesn’t have a large part really. He plays one of three brothers who along with several other groups of people are out to assassinate a guy connected to the mob who the FBI want to protect.
There were tons of celebs in this movie. Ben Affleck, Ray Liotta, Ryan Reynalds, Andy Garcia, Alicia Keyes, Common, and several others.
Anyway, the long and the short of it was that I would call in a good movie even though it was really violent, as mob movies often are. It’s not one I have to have for my CP collection (and yes I have a CP collection) but it was a decent if violent movie.
On the plus side even though they dressed him up to look like a psycho, his beauty shined through! HA
