BRING ON THE WANK

[tencrush]

Wow, what a busy busy day at my eljay it's been. I'm in a right bitchy mood today, so may I just say that if you feel the need to bitch about me, don't do it your flocked journal, that's just silly, do it HERE! I want to share in the hate.

Some bitchworthy opinions I have:
1) I think John Barrowman is obnoxious. I don't hate the guy, I don't really actually have an opinion on him one way or the other, but if I had to veer in a certain direction, obnoxious would be that direction.
2) Gareth David-Lloyd, in season two of Torchwood, was a chubster. Chinless, beergutty tubbyboy. He's looking better now and even in season two of Torchwood I'd have fucked him silly, but yeah, he was a fatty.
3) Freema's a shit actress. I got defriended over that one. Any other takers?

GO ON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

I actually rather agree about JB's obnoxiousness. Of course he still cracks my shit up most of the time but I think he's just a tad too confident, really, because I get the sense that he never really stops to think that maybe he actually is not the most amazing, fantastic person that the world has ever spawned. Confidence is good but not if it makes you convinced that you don't actually have to improve your acting.

Yah, I should have added: HIS ACTING IS STILL RATHER UNSHINY. WHY CAN'T HE JUST FUCKING FIX THAT ALREADY??

[cirrocumulus.livejournal.com]

I recall him saying somewhere, possibly on an episode commentary, that he doesn't read the scripts until just days before they shoot because he likes to be "surprised" by the episode, which means he doesn't has a lot of time to prep for it. He's outright said he mainly relies on the director's comments to guide his acting. And while I cannot claim to know how the relationship between actor and director should be, I don't think one is supposed to eschew personal preparation in favor of just letting the director call all the shots. With everything a director has to do I don't think he/she should have to take care of JB's acting for him.


ETA: LOL. I should probably fix "he doesn't has" but I like it so much that I'm leaving it there.

And yeah, his acting in general is kind of unshiny. There are some things he does well but when it comes to acting upset he tends to drop the ball and just stand there making strange faces. ("Cyberwoman" is an exception in which I for the most part actually think he did quite well. But "Adam" was fucking embarrassing to watch.)

"Meat" is my personal favourite. My other half spent a week walking around the house emoting at things going "What have they DONE TO YOU, MY FRIEND????"

[cirrocumulus.livejournal.com]

I thought the "WHAT HAVE THE DONE TO YOU?" line was kind of crap, I have to say. "Captain Jack Harkness" was another episode in which JB mostly hit the mark (though I was lamenting just the other day on how that episode could have been truly awesome with just a little tweaking to the storyline and acting).

LOL @ your other half.
But srsly how did he built a successful west end career with his lack of talent. Did he shag his way to the top?

[tencrush]

His acting is totally great for the West End. He emotes and face-acts RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, he's a natural. You just can't do that on television, though, and nobody seems to have told him this.

I generally have a problem with stage-acting. Even ON A STAGE I find it pretty awkward, so on a screen it absolutely crashes and burns.

Or they did tell him and he thought they were just jealous of this "talent"
