MacGyver Hair Saloon

It's been a slow month at It's a Geek Thing. So here's something old but always entertaining to fill in some kind of quota:

How to make interesting bad guys?

= add shades + color and a bit of smugness

The examples:

> Collateral - Vincent

~ whitish grey

> Fight Club - Tyler Durden

~ multicolor + gotta love that personality

> Bad Apple - Bells

It takes Robert Partick to a different level.

> Die Hard with a Venegance - Simon

~ take notice of that apple tie + remeber the blue shirt?

> Face Off - Castor Troy

~ what a smug! with nice style!

Sean Bean Drinking Game

RULES

1. Get a load of Sean Bean movies.
2. Take a sip (or more) every time Sean Bean's character:

a) looks perplexed (as in anxious)
b) is a bad guy
c) ends up being the bad guy
c) ends up dead

3. You get to drink the whole bottle when you find a movie where he's the good guy and won't end up dead.

** Kirk and ... GORN!

Oh, the glory days! Check out the vid below the pic! Totally worth seeing!

>>> Kirk Fights with Gorn vid <<<

BUT Behold ..! CAPTAIN PICARD counterstrikes!
It would be really hilarious/fun to watch this movie:

>>> Detonator -trailer <<<

Home come I have missed such an obvious pearl? With that voice, hmm.. the bad guys are going to have a tough time (the BritHisH accents, my my my.. )!

And Finally, Me thinks that this week's quota of totally nerdish thingies has been fullfilled!

I would like to see him use his talent

Vin Diesel

* darn it was hard to find a decent pic of him among those cheesy ones..

I know he has more talent than the stereotyped roles may have given the impression of. Here is a proof of it:

>> Multi-Facial short (1999) <<
(watch it 'til the end, the beginning is a bit boring)

Man can choose his roles as he pleases but personnally I would like to see him in a more challenging role. Or any role that does not cast him as 'blockbuster action hunk'. Now, don't get me wrong: there is an audience to that kind of movies and they are quite entertaining flicks BUT think of the possibilities man behind those roles could bring if given an entirely a different role?! For instance some small role as junkie or something else.. I can smell an award of some kind. Anyway, 'til that happens I have relatively high hopes of Hannibal and let's hope that is a bit better and more original than the other productions of late.

BRUCE!

The exception I make about posting crappy videos into this blog.

Most likely a crappy Nice show, but Bruce! It's almost that Beetle-game you play: when ever you see a beetle you are entitled to punch you buddy. Could it be applied to Bruce?

Have you ever wonder what would happen if...

You'd mix Hugh Jackman and Willem Dafoe?



Well, I didn't either but I came across this picture and got an answer for one of the deepest questions of life:


Something just about that!
(Sorry about the bad quality of the pic: it's scanned from a newspaper ad, you can click for larger version)

And yes. It's late and I've been in front of the computer monitor for too many hours doing way too detailed a work. So spare me the lame fun I have! By the way I never knew (until now that I had to find a pic of Dafoe) that Dafoe's first name is Willem not William! Wow. The same thing about David Twohy -until yesterday I always though that his name was Thowy. How boring!
