Not suggested as a date movie.

Stranger 5 ILU.

I also love all Christopher Ecclestons. *scurries to find film*

WHERE HAS THIS MOVIE BEEN ALL MY LIFE? (<--pretty much what I was chanting to myself throughout the whole vid) ::flail::

ok, actually reading summaries now.

Having read them, I can report that they are full of truth. Not even knowing what the movie is actually about can dampen my yearning for it.

As our protagonist felt more and more drawn toward the strange man, who flirted with him and helped him beat people up, he soon realized that this man was a mystical reincarnation of his wife, brought back by the force of their true love. This is clear from the bright orange hair both have. Well, OBVIOUSLY.

SERIOUSLY! If there is one thing we all have learned from Ophelia, it is that falling in love with Hamlet is bad news. word, that's def what I got out of Hamlet. This entire summary is made of win. There could not be a better sequel to Hamlet than what is described.

I love stranger 6's interpretation of the entire movie as a doctor who spin off movie thing.

The moral of this story? Don't fuck with Chris Eccelston he will take you ( ... )

"This is clear from the bright orange hair both have." Well, OBVIOUSLY.

It works in anime!

No, seriously, I wasn't being sarcastic. It explains so much. Harry's soul lifemate bond with Ginny, it's genetic!

I'd just never heard it put in those terms before. My eyes are open.

"It's not oedipal, it's genetic! I'm not obsessed with my mother, I just inherited daddy's obsession with redheads!"

Magical hair color-coding ftw.

Eddie and the Revenger escape and bond with just a little bit of man-love, and it is good.

HEE!! Stranger 1, I think that sentence might just win the entire UNIVERSE! (Also, Eddie and the Revengers - best band name, or best band name EVER?)

This whole vid and all the synopses are made of so much crack and win. I didn't read the grokker summary so I can Netflix it all shiny and fresh!

he gets hung for a crime that even a shriveled skull could see was not committed by him. But it's the government. C'est le vie. With more punching and nosebleeds and skipping through tunnels, our homoerotic heroes successfully take down the government. And in the end, they get to celebrate! By not making out. Which makes me sad. BEST. Or, like, better with making out, I agree.

so he gave up his hair salon and donned his secret identity of ... The Revenger! He gives himself a dramatic haircut in the middle of a gang fight for an extra challenge, and buys himself a fancy looking dagger that he likes talking to while rolling around on the grass. (I'm naming it Mr Pointy.) OTHER BEST.

If this were a movie that did not have the word Tragedy in the name, this is likely where I'd start waxing poetic about the power of love and blah, blah, blah. Instead, this is where this movie turns even ( ... )

Hee, Stranger 1!

And based on Stranger 7's advice, I vow to never cross Eccleston.
