--[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.

Wow. Leave it to Mina to find something that awesome.

It seems like most people think Robert Downey Jr. is hamming it up, but I found his portrait rather haunting because I think he looks very Christ-like. Only on a bed instead on a cross. Maybe it's the cloth draped over him.

And speaking of religious symbolism, Laurence Fishburne looks like a saint or an avenging angel with that halo of a window behind him. It's made even more interesting by the fact that he appears to be in a public restroom.

And Daniel Craig oh my God. His eyes are so swollen and puffy. You're right that he looks like he's been crying for hours. And Tim Roth breaks my heart.

I love how some of them *coughWoodyHarrelsoncough* are just doing "This is my sad face."

I can't even focus on Robin Williams's face because I'm too distracted by his MASSIVELY HAIRY ARMS.

As for Hayden Christiansen, his Single Emo Tear fits quite well with his acting style :P Also, his lips match his shirt.

I'm very torn abour RDJ! The other picture that [livejournal.com profile] vejiicakes posted worked better for me, I think.

The "halo" behind Fishburne is kind of cool, isn't it?

Woody Harrelson, lol. "I'm bummed"!

Robin Williams's arms are so distracting! I suspect that's why he's crying. "OMG, my arms!" :P

Christiansen's lips kind of distracted me from anything else about his picture. So...so very bee-stung...

Mina always finds the best links!
