Excuse me while I spam your f-list
I just saw the movie. Wild Target, I mean.
I only have 30 pictures, from the first 20-ish minutes of it, because a) I was just too mesmerised to keep pausing the movie after a certain point and b) you really have to watch this and I won't spoil it for you.
So, 30 pictures! Let's see what we've got.
I know what you're wondering right now. Well, not really. But if you were anything like me, you would be wondering "Is the main character a proper badass assassin?" The film courteously gives us the answer in the first 20 seconds.
See Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy) elegantly walk inside a building.
See... a screaming blur?
Oh., Welp, there's our answer.
Ah, the subtitles? Victor here studies French on his spare time. And apparently his spare time is whenever he is not directly killing someone. This later comes into play in a short scene that does to me what no comedy should: make me wibble.
Oh no, this talking parrot has witnessed a murder. And now, our cold-blooded assassin must eliminate him, for he is a most inconvenient witness. The parrot tries to interrupt with a couple of shy "I love you"s, but Victor Maynard is not
... Then he went and gave it to his mother as a gift.
Oh, and he's terribly lonely too.
And here is our other lovable protagonist, Rose (Emily Blunt). Can't see her? Come on, she's colour-coded and all.
Okay, you won't find her lovable at first. At least, I didn't. She comes off as kind of a bitch. A stupid one.
Victor pops in again just to remind us that he's awesome. Oh, you can't see what he's got strapped to his leg very well? It's a knife. And on the other leg, a gun.
Ferguson (Rupert Everett) here has a magnificent goatee. I'm just saying. Too many doable people in this film, nnngh.
And there we have it, Rose dearest has just conned a man who showed signs of being aggressive and possibly murderous. And she's sure she'll be perfectly fine. Seriously.
She's so fine she's even got the sexually-repressed virgin after her! AHA! AHA! AHA! AHA! AHA! AHA!
(I'm serious about him though. I swear.)
"Okay gonna kill her now. Aim for the head and not the boobs."
"I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make it happen."
"Oh fiddlesticks I am not getting paid to watch people doing it."
"Idon'thaveabonerIdon'thaveabonerIdon'thaveabonerISITSTILLTHERE?"
LATER, WHEN HE GOES TO VISIT HIS MOTHER:
Yes, it's a family business, why do you ask?
"Okay I AM SERIOUSLY GOING TO DO IT NOW"
He saves her life. Things go hilariously downhill from here.
"Shitshitshit I have to do it now-- OH BALLS."
Tony (Rupert Grint) is awesome, but that's like saying the sky is blue, isn't it? He kind of shoots the dude on accident and things ALSO go hilariously down/uphill from there.
"well fuck my life"
"I'M GOING TO DO IT NOW, I SWEAR--"
"I'M DOING IT- oh fuck it all."
WHAT ARE THESE FOREIGN FEELINGS BUILDING UP INSIDE OF HIM?
I'm sure thatRon's Tony's butt in his face did not help his confusion at all.
And that's all I've got for you! How much did I love this movie?
Well, let's say that now Shelly will forever have Bill Nighy's voice in my head AND I have furious, rampant crossover fic plotbunnies right now.

And, um, on a non-bitter note, this cap?
'Shop Adrian into this (
OH JESUS DON'T YOU DARE ACTUALLY DO THAT), and you have that one scene in that one fic, I swear. IT'S SO CLICHE, I KNOW, WITH THE WINE AND THE RIDICULOUSLY OVERSIZED TABLE ALL FOR ONE LONESOME, BUTTONED-UP ASSASSIN, BUT THERE YOU HAVE IT.I MUST SEE THIS MOVIE. MUST.

... It's even better if you see what he's doing in the actual scene, I swear.
I-I know where to find it, buuut it wouldn't be very wise to share download links on LJ, would it?

Mind you, the critics didn't like this movie and I can kinda see why... ;; BUT YEAH I REALLY ENJOYED IT.
no subject
But yes, I was planning to screen cap the hell out of this film but then found myself laughing at all the silly things and completely forgetting my task to nab some pretty Nighy and Blunt moments. Lol.
But glad you enjoyed it :3
pffff I really want a Wild Target and GS crossover fic now.... ;__;
