'Whatever It Takes' Floydmeister Mega-Picspam
I got around to watching Whatever it Takes--a relatively run-of-the-mill teen comedy--a few weeks ago as part of my Aaron Paul fangirly back catalogue trip. The (bland) protagonists, Ryan, Ashley and Maggie, are played by actors I don't really know at all, yet some of the secondary characters are played by the likes of James Franco, Aaron Paul and Colin Hanks, which amused me no end. Franco is amazingly loathsome as the smarmy jock-playa type who's after the main girl as yet another notch on the bedpost...and gets his just desserts, which involve being tied up on a bed in nothing but a black g-string and bow-tie :D But that's a subject for another day, alas.
Although Paul's character, Floyd, Ryan's geeky friend, is not a major player in the overall story, his hilariously sprightly, cheeky presence is an absolute delight, and one that demanded a psycho-massive picspam. So here goes...
WARNING: My picspam commentary may be a little spoilery with regards to the film's details. Sorry :P
At the beginning of the school week, the gang meets up for morning assembly:
Saying 'hi' to Ryan's Mom, who happens to be the school nurse, and proceeds to wheel in a giant penis to promote sex education at the school assembly. The next shot is purely a hair profile. Pretty high hair, if I do say so myself :)
Playing baseball, it's not really a surprise that Floyd would be a catcher, given his height. Gosh darn it he's so cute in all that green padded gear, cap back-to-front, as you do. I love the little motif on his helmet!
Making a deal to sneak BFF into girls' changerooms so he can perve on his crush. Aww, he's a good friend, is Floyd.
One of several "GUH-at-the-sheer-mindboggling-adorableness-that-is-Aaron-Paul" moments in the film:
What's in that mouth of yours, Sir? Oh, HELLO, I see a tongue piercing! While I don't think Aaron still has it (I haven't examined his mouth that closely of late, LOL), it's nice to know he's not averse to such things...*peers at own belly piercing, sighs in relief*
Floyd is such a gorgeous little munchkin when he smiles, which, suffice to say, he does in most scenes. Damn him ;)
I notice Aaron has a funny habit of placing his hand in the middle of his chest when pledging or giving thanks--he did so in his speech at the Emmys last year. Hmmm, from the looks of this it seems like it was a tic he developed at an early age (he was 21 when he did this film).
Behold! The novelty-sized penis! What's really funny about this shot was when I first saw it online, I actually didn't really take heed of the giant penis in the foreground, as I was checking out a certain someone else's package instead ;D
Yippee, we get to go to a cool-person's party! YAY US! *Floyd kicks heels*
There's a bit of disagreement among the natives:
Welcome to the party, Bro.
The Three Amigos attempting to chat up some girls. Their faces tell the story.
Screw you guys, I'm gonna go dance!
I had no idea what Floyd was eating here, until..
He gives Ryan the Simm!Master two thumbs up...with a can of whipped cream in his hand. WTF?!
After seeing a sparkling display earlier that got the folk excited, Floyd hopes to serenade the girls with some firecrackers. Because that will presumably work to grab their attention.
Aren't I so brilliant? That got their attention!!
The wrong kind of attention.
I kinda adore Floyd's funky sense of fashion. The grungey-retro-gear he wears is fabulous :)
Looking quite adorable again...
This swimming pool scene is a total crack-up! Here he's just taken a happy snap of two pretty females in bikinis, who angrily fobbed him off and dashed toward the changerooms. Yet he still thinks he has a chance...poor dear.
I don't think I've laughed harder at someone's swimming outift than this one!! The shirt, the bright orange goggles, the belt-up bathing-shorts...it's wrong on multiple levels. But it oddly looks just right on skinny little Floyd :D
Ryan and Chris think so too, clearly.
Yeah, I'm right in the middle of watching some porn with the guys. Make it quick, will ya?
Oh.
I'd never have thought I'd find bum-fluff type facial hair attractive. But Mr. Paul makes it look alright :)
Ryan's playing some football-gridiron and getting his ass kicked. Along with Ashley and her posse, Floyd and Cosmo also offer their support. I couldn't resist telegraphing the squinty expressions that pass across Floyd's face when Ryan gets crunched. Fucking gorgeous little thing, he is:
His little snarly smirk over the next two pics just gets me in quite a visceral sense. It makes for all manner of dirty, smutty thoughts, one of which may involve spanking ;)
Then Ryan scores a touchdown!!!
A heated discussion over which escorts they'll choose to be their prom dates. Hmm.
Floyd isn't mighty impressed that Ryan didn't wave to him and the guys earlier in the morning while with Ashley. Or that Chris is stealing Ryan off him. Not cool, Bro.
It's as close as a 'fuck-you' expression as you ever see on Floyd's face. He needs a hug badly :((
More TV time with the Amigos:
Where Floyd comes up with a plan...
To fuck up that prom GOOD.
Prom night--The theme is "Titanic Dreams":
Aw, don't they look so cute and handsome all dressed up! Cosmo (right) always ends up looking the most spiffy and formal of the group:
While Floyd looks like he came off the set of 'Saturday night Fever'.
Haha, got your keys! Plan is GO!
In the bowels of the stadium, Floyd plans to put his plan into action (love the lighting in these shots, as well as his glasses):
Hehe, I love seeing guys stick their tongue out in determined self-satisfaction :D
And now for a bottle of booze to short circuit the mechanism:
While Floyd and his Amigos escape, the dance floor becomes something akin to the "Titanic"...
Floyd's talk to Ryan before he gets arrested by the police is full of GUH and funny :D
He thinks he'll now be more popular with the gals now that he's a rebel.
LMAO, I don't think I've seen someone look so happy while being handcuffed!!
I won't go into too much detail about the end, but suffice to say, he doesn't get put into lock-up or anything. It's all happy endings for everyone :)
Hope you enjoyed--I do realise I went way over the top with the amount of pics. Goshdarnit, I couldn't help it--Aaron's too cute for words in this film...simply priceless!!
