--[livejournal.com profile] min_taiwan has some beautiful Arthurian Trinity art up!  They all look so gorgeous (I love the way Kal's curl dips below his crown, eee!)  Check it out!

--[livejournal.com profile] arch_schatten  shared this page with me:  Crying Men.  Basically it's for a photo exhibit, they asked various actors to cry for the camera and the results are incredibly striking.  I'm especially taken with Willem Dafoe's sort of "Wait, don't take my picture now when I'm actually racked up, wait until I'm crying attractively" look, and Laurence Fishburne, OMG.  Also, I want to cuddle Jude Law and take him home and feed him cookies.  Tim Roth, Sean Penn, Robin Williams, Paul Newman, Daniel Craig (who looks like he's been crying for hours, "Take his picture already!" said [livejournal.com profile] arch_schatten )...  it's a really visually amazing thing.  We spent much of the afternoon debating who was being sincere, who was "faking it," who was proud of producing a Single Emo Tear (I'm looking at you, Kristofferson and Christiansen!), and what kind of sad each of them was aiming for.

Seeing some of these guys crying is...completely heartbreaking. And some just look sort of laughable, like they've never been able to produce a tear all their life.

Yeah, I bet Hayden Christiansen was pleased with himself... His normal range of emotion lies between neutral and...neutral. Not to mention I don't think I've ever seen him looking natural in anything. (I realize some of my friends will want to shoot me for saying that of Anakin Skywalker, but...heh.)

RDJ... dang... that's a hot pic! I can't see if he's actually crying or not, though - of course, I didn't really look at his face. Mostly his legs. :fans self:

I could have done without seeing Dustin Hoffman shirtless... The pics of Daniel Craig and Jude Law completely broke my heart. And Paul Newman's I can't stop looking at, though it really makes me sad, for no logical reason - perhaps simply because he passed away? I'm not sure, I just keep staring at that one.

Oops... I need to get to work. *lol* Thanks for sharing these, it made for an interesting coffee break! :D

I know! Some of them just kind of rip my heart out and some I'm like, "You don't mean that." :) But they're not the same ones for everyone, interestingly!

Newman's is interesting...I agree, it's terribly sad, in part just because he's gone now. And he's got a face with so much character...

(How I wish they'd asked Bale!)
