icons by julie

Varro, my sweet prince ;_____;

Dearest rplandia, to make you understand the extent of the sacrifice I am making right now: I made 674 icons of Jai Courtney for personal use. I believe I am literally the only person to PB him in modern clothing. I took painstaking hours to make hi-def screencaptures, sort through all of them, icon them, and, lo, it was time-consuming work. And at the end of all that, I did not want to post these icons because I, selfishly, wanted to remain the only person PBing Jai Courtney and he would be mine, all mine, cackle maniacally over the traintracks, twirl moustache, &c.

But! I have decided to swallow my selfishness and share them after all. Because the world does deserve more Jai, and I love him, and am avidly watching his American career climb, and at least I can nurse the knowledge of having been the first to post these. :')

Their choice to open this movie with a long shot of his cavalier ass was a fantastic one. Also, with all my slow-motion rewind replay rewind replay screencapping, I think I must have technically seen this mediocre movie like three times, but I have to say that his performance actually yanked my heartstrings around a little. FATHER/SON ESTRANGEMENT GETS ME IN THE FEELS EVERY TIME, Y'ALL.

This looked absolutely terrible in the trailers, but then was... actually surprisingly good?? I hate that I am now that person who is, of all things, DEFENDING JACK REACHER THE FILM, but I was impressed by a) that tense, nail-biting, horrifying opening scene, b) revisiting said scene later MADE ME CRY, c) their use of background music (more specifically: the lack thereof during action scenes where you'd normally expect Generic Pulse-Pounding Music), d) how it was more like a quiet legal sleuthing mystery rather than a balls-to-the-walls action flick, which is how I felt it was (erroneously) marketed, e) the barebones fight scene climax in which, you know what, a full-on punch to the face DOES deck you to the ground & you can't just keep taking those forever and ever and ever, and f) Jai.

Also, Tom Cruise's line "I mean to beat you to death, and drink your blood from a boot."

and okay I'm done posting for now, at least until his next movie comes out.
