OMG, PLACEBO in Velvet Goldmine?!
So, as many of you know, I watched Velvet Goldmine for the first time a few days ago, then last night, I watched it on DVD with a friend whom I cooked dinner for so that we could watch the movie together. When the song '20th Century Boy' came on, she commented that suddenly, the music had gotten good, and I agreed with her. Today, while working on my Kincaid paper, I decided to YouTube the song so that it could play while I worked and guess what I found out?
It was Placebo who had been responsible for the song and acted in the movie! I hadn't even realized that. XD
The scene with them can be found here -- and if you're thinking the person at the start looks familiar, that's because it's Christian Bale, aka Bruce Wayne from Batman Begins. I'm not actually a Christian Bale fan of when he actually looks older, but he does make one hot teen. Curt Wild was totally my favorite char from Velvet Goldmine, though -- I know he was meant to be a tribute to Iggy Pop, but he makes me think way more of Kurt Cobain, thanks to a combination of the name, the hair and the attitude.
For anyone who hasn't seen Velvet Goldmine but likes pretty boys kissing, in glitter, in eyeliner and in fucked-up-love, I highly recommend that you go watch it now. Bittorrent it, borrow it, perform an animal sacrifice to the gods of glitter if you must, but get the damn movie and watch it. It's worth it for the eye candy alone and the fact that they reference and quote Wilde both. Mmm, Wilde.
The friend who came over said that I seemed like the type to like Wilde because I'm a sarcastic English major, totally leaving aside the issue of the books of his that I have stacked on my shelves, my action figure and the quotations of his I have up on my door. XD That amused me greatly. Wilde fans have a type.
Oh, and if pretty boys kissing and Wilde isn't incentive enough for you (how is that possible?), I'd also like to say that it has some gorgeous lines. And references 1984.
There. Now don't you go want to go see it? Watch! Watch!
*attempts to hypnotize all of you into watching it, then into helping with her evil plans to take over the world*
Edit: Why don't I have a boys kissing icon? Or even a music icon of any type at all? Clearly, once I get my Kincaid paper done, I will treat myself by making either a boys kissing icon or a Velvet Goldmine icon. Maybe even by letting myself read a little Velvet Goldmine slash. Oooooh.

Then again, I have no idea who Iggy Pop even was...no subject
Some sort of pop star? That's about all I know, anyway.no subject
And I only just found out yesterday that the infamous Ziggy Star wasn't a real person...no subject
I'd never even heard of Ziggy Star before.
...And Maxwell Demon made me think of Gundam and Duo Maxwell being Shinigami, God of Death. XD

Hm. If I can find it to DL and I remember, I should look into it...
"Pretty boys kissing" That's your phrase of the month.
SRLSY.
Why don't you have an icon of that? *chintap* I don't know. I remember that one icon that went everywhere that had "yaoi" on it... that was pretty 9.9;

And YouTube doesn't work for you? Shame. Oh, hey, you want me to YouSendIt--
Oh, screw it, I'll upload it and hope you don't have it already.
Pretty boys kissing is a good phrase! It's cheerful.
And uh, I have no idea why I don't have an icon of it but since it's past midnight, it's probably too late to make an icon of it now. Maybe tomorrow! But hell, I don't think that I even have any icons of boys kissing though my current default icon is one I made that's supposed to look like two girls about to kiss. XD
