icons by julie

What do I do when my internet goes down? I icon. Dedicated to walburga, who was dear enough to send me her blu-ray caps! & I may or may not be planning to become the queen of modern-day NCW icons, js.

More people in this world should PB Andrew Bird! I am doing my part to help make this happen! twatty sent me a bunch of interview videos like 2 years ago; I think there are a few that I forgot to screencap, but figured I might as well get these icons posted, since otherwise it'll likely take me another 2 years...

My mission to icon the Fass in everything ever continues. I am going to tl;dr about this movie on my Kelly post, coming up in a sec. Also, I'm struck by how he's had significant plunging-into-water scenes in Eden Lake, Fish Tank, and X-Men: First Class! More evidence for him being a handsome shark who happened to sprout legs one day.

WARNING FOR BLOOD &c.

Once upon a time, I promised jonquilles to icon the lovely Kelly Reilly -- better late than never, I suppose, although I'm defs planning on making more sometime. I freaking love her look here -- such bouncy hair! so pretty! Though I eventually reached a point where I was like "Okay, the characters are now officially too grimy and covered in blood for PB use, I am going to stop taking screencaps." It was at the exact point when she popped out of a muddy, trash-filled dumpster.

As for Eden Lake -- it's ridiculous how often I talk about this movie, because I simultaneously 1) really like it, and 2) fucking hate it. It has a message and a point behind its violence which I found fascinating, but it's still so utterly gruesome that I would never, ever rewatch it. The main character's resourcefulness & ingenuity & perseverance doesn't help a single whit and MORE FUCKING ATROCITIES!!! keep happening to her. idk, my psyche just couldn't handle it. Yet I keep bringing up Eden Lake and talking about it as such a well-done example of the torture porn genre, but I'm not sure if I would ever recommend it to someone, because I really seriously Did Not Enjoy Myself while watching it. Disturbing, horrifying, really well-done -- but it made my gut churn, and normally I consider myself fairly lead-bellied.

As an aside, considering the dirty-grimy-bloody icons later on in this set, I'm thinking she could work for PBing the ghost of a murder victim. OR SOMETHING. ugh I don't know. this movie.
