o is for oldman


...gary oldman. okay, i know i already got him once when i was in the 'g's,' but the o's are proving to be harder than i thought, so give me a break. and hey, one more sweet picture of gary is only going to add high-class sexiness to your day. this shot is from the... cult classic..? 1990 tom stoppard film 'rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead.' have you ever seen the coverbox? it makes it look like richard dreyfuss is like, its main star and main reason to 'check it out.' i can't say this is the first movie i noticed gary oldman in, its hard for me to remember back that far... but i know it was sometime around there. i loved the snappy, quip-laden, cerebral script... and i really loved the costumes... all those sexy layers of heavy leather and all those laces and straps and boots and ties and blousy shirts...! i remember at the time i had a hard time deciding who was hotter; gary oldman or tim roth. but, after roth did 'planet of the apes,' i became all like, '...tim roth? who's tim roth?' i think he absolutely peaked, career-wise, with his foppy swordfight sequence in 'rob roy.' ( "...my factor will call upon your grace's factor...") so yeah, now there's no contest, its gary all the way. i know there was some haziness in the stoppard script as to which one was rosencrantz and which one was guildenstern, but according to the faceless cyber-oracle that is IMDB, gary oldman was, in fact, rosencrantz. mmm, so pretty... you know i want to 'go into detail!' and '...devle!!' into all those complicated layers of clothing to find the warm pale flesh underneath. (did i just say that? and i really gonna post this without deleting it? sigh, i guess so.)
