Coyote Cinema: On Stranger Tides

[cyrano]

In haiku form.

My mouth hangs agape
Holy God it did not suck
Yay Ian McShane

(Better than 2 and 3. I had planned to not even bother with this one, but am glad I did.)

EDIT: This should come as no great shock, but there is now at least one mild spoiler in comments. Be Ye Warned!

Someone wrote a Twilight/DA spoof with him called TwiBlight. I have not had the courage to read it.

Oh, jeez. *facepalm*

Somewhere I read an interview with David Gaider where he admitted to being baffled by Cullen's popularity as he'd intended him to come off as creepy and stalker-ish. I honestly think the main reason he seems more adorably awkward and sweet than skeevy during the mage origin story is Ellis' voice acting.

LOL. Could very well be--I definitely didn't think of him as creepy and stalker-ish. Maybe they thought players would be embracing their viewpoint on mages and...most players simply didn't.

If they really wanted him not to be popular, they would've made him Meredith's enthusiastic yes man in DA2 instead of the voice of reason. (ETA: Crap. Now I'm spoiling C--. Sorry!)

That, and I think they completely overlooked how many players would respond to the whole 'forbidden love' angle with him. Then, when you run into him later during the Broken Circle quest, he's all covered in sexy wounds all tortured and angsty, which is like catnip to a certain segment of the population. *vbg*

Also, we are totally hijacking Cyrano's POTC thread with our Dragon Age talk. If you like, I can go make a DA discussion post over on the fandom journal so we can keep going. *vbg*

I think I'm spent on this topic. :)
