I Want Expensive Sadness.

[robanybody]

So just about everyone on my flist has been squeeing about Fast Five, which is awesome, but I didn't actually get around to watching the trailer that at least five people posted until I caught it on sinden's journal a few weeks ago. My reaction went along the lines of "Yay Dwayne Johnson as a federal agent! Yay boys! Yay Mi-- OH MY GOD IS THAT WHO I

The black and white picture is so hot, and then the next one is BAM terrible hair. Rude!

♥

[robanybody]

Pffft! It is Sung Kang. He transcends terrible hair! :-*****

[charliehey]

He does! It's just a sad thing when bad hair happens to hot people. :-*****

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

They can retcon that shit all they want, man.

[robanybody]

Seriously, as long as I get Han driving a car, I don't care what bullshit explanation they come up with. Alien clone from the future, whatever, JUST LET HIM BE HOT AND DRIVE CARS.

How amazing would it be if Han hid out in Hawaii after Tokyo and made out with Chin? And Kono? At the same time?

[alexandriabrown]

Why are you trying to kill me? *sniffle*

[robanybody]

Because I know you'll appreciate the hot! You know Kono goes undercover in some high-class bar and Han's there, looking smooth and gorgeous, and he hits on her while Chin is in the van watching her back, and then their suspect appears so Kono has to go. And then Han tracks her down and takes her out and seduces her, and Chin comes to kill him because he is wanted in two different countries! and Han charms and seduces him too.

I am just saying!

HOMG DRESDEN FIC. WITH THE NON-SUCKAGE.

Thank you so much for the link, this is wonderful!

[robanybody]

IT IS SO GOOD OMG. I am basically living here because it's apparently where all the long, plotty, amazing Dresden fic lives. And most of it is Marcone/Harry, which SCORE. My OTP in this fandom, man.

Speaking of hot men, PS:

[robanybody]

God, he is just so goddamn amazing and natty and gorgeous. I love everything about these pictures.

[charliehey]

His shoes are just. And right down to his tie! I wish more men dressed like this. It's one thing to wear trousers and a proper jacket, it's another thing to own it and express yourself with it.

I'm right there with you, but I'm torn between two personal canons:

1. Five takes place before three, therefore there is a chance to revisit Tokyo and have it told from a different perspective. This would include Dom & Brian working with Han and us seeing how Han survived. It also could lead to a seventh installment that includes Sean.
2. It's after three, but Dom was there all along and saved Han somehow (waves hands). The next movie could be post-three, picking up where it left off, approximately.

I may be a little invested in this franchise (cough). I want Dom & Brian driving fast cars when they are little old men.

[robanybody]

Oh, I love both those canons! I'm a little partial to #1 simply because I want Sean in the seventh one, but I suspect #2 is the more likely one. Either way, I want more of Dom and Brian's romance with hot cars and even hotter people. :D

[i_naiad]

Well...2 doesn't preclude Sean from being in number 6. What I wouldn't given for all of them all at once in one movie.

Though now I'm wondering what they'll call them? Will it tart to be like the Stephanie Plum series? I'd be pretty happy is we got to Fast Fifteen.

[robanybody]

:D As long as Dom and Brian continue to be obviously in love and everyone else joins in for the ride, I am happy to have as many of these movies as possible. Also, if they can keep having Tej and Han in there for no reason, even better!
