Gratuitous Naked Male Cuteness

Work has been kind of nuts lately (lots of projects requiring lots of revisions all coming due at once) and home has been equally busy. But I decided to treat myself to a cheap copy of Wimbledon, a slight rom com with Paul Bettany, and Nicholaj Coster-Waldau (oh, and Kirsten Dunst) that I've been meaning to watch for ages.

It is lovely.

It's not deep, it doesn't have high drama, it follows the expected arc of a rom com. But it's chock full of good actors (James McAvoy, Bernard Hill, Eleanor Bron and Robert Lindsay have minor but key roles), the characters mostly behave like reasonable adults, and Bettany and Coster-Waldau play best friends and tennis practice partners with a nicely slashy vibe.

I mean, just look at them:



Aren't they adorable together?

At some point I've got to do a proper pic spam for both these lads.

I love Wimbledon - fun, light, nicely-made film. And lots of Bettany goodness. *g*

Of course I'm looking forward to the Urban/Bettany slash too (well..duh), but you know that Bettany is doing his darndest to put us off the scent at the moment by snuggling with Zach Quinto at Sundance? Nice try Paul. Not gonna work.

Bettany goodness is always a good thing.

As for him snuggling up with Zach Quinto, god bless 'em. I love an actor who'll snuggle up to his co-stars. Especially when they're Karl Urban. ;-)

Accounts from Sundance suggets that PB is pleasingly handsy with his co-stars, so I'm hoping for goooooooood things when Priest's being promoted ;)
