Kiss me. Can't here. A present from me (and K) to you

[hackthis_archive]

Many many moons ago, kattiya told me of a legend. The legend of James Dean and Paul Newman. Yes, pause. Breathe. The story goes that Paul Newman and James Dean did a screen test years ago for East of Eden, which you know, is a lot of hotass in one place, but the money shot being that they were involved. I was understandably dubious. And then I saw the clip below.

Whether the shenanigans went down before, during or after this test I'll let you judge, but let me tell you, I can't even call this UST. I know couples that don't ignite like this. In fact, let's call it, as kattiya says, "There is stuff happening." You cannot listen to Paul's nervous laugh, see the way he looks at Jimmy, or the way they mention *kissing* and call this straight.

The only straight thing here is the camera angle. Enjoy, babies.

There's a better version of the second half

So. Where is the slash for this? C'mon folks.

*girlish sigh*
oh the boys back then were so much dreamier *o* I love James' smile! and GUH Paul Newman. Everything about Paul Newman. The bowtie and the cigarette behind his ear, and his quirky little charm and comments ♥
I mean really, who have we got now that can compete with that level of attractiveness, poise and chemistry. (...well...ok Matthew Goode is like my modern day Paul Newman but James/Paul is just *guh*)

Okay, I have never heard of such a legend before, have not yet even watched the video and I am already almost melting at the thought of the pretty. Any basis in fact aside, just imagining it has made my day.

So I thought it best to thank you and kattiya so very much now before my brain turns to mush and I am incapable of typing anything other than omfghldkjhdksaj;mmhdajdmhk,lksflsmademyyearTHEPRETTY.

That's - really deliciously hot, my god.

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Holy fuck, this was glorious. Paul Newman was such a stunner when he was younger ♥

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing that! For reasons I can't really get into I've been trying to find stuff like this.

That was really hot, and now that I've read the article and I also have the image of a bi Marlon Brando in my head, my brain is a very happy place.

Whoa Nelly!

This is... pretty damn hot. Oh, old skool Paul Newman, you were such a total hottie...

[annadraper.livejournal.com]

Old Hollywood slash. The world needs it.

Best video EVER! Thank you so much for sharing!

tell me a story about Brad's nervous laugh.

Hah, I think I like your story better! I love it when Nate's the one minding his own business and being clueless (or... IS HE?) and Brad's all back to feeling like a teenager who stutters and has sweaty palms and doesn't quite know where to look, because looking at Nate makes his mouth even dryer and his palms even sweatier and he should really say something witty, or just say something period, because he's been staring at Nate for several more seconds than is socially acceptable, but all that comes out is this ridiculous giggle and Brad just wants to shoot himself.

Ohhh, yeah, definitely setting of slash alarms. Just the way they're looking at each other and the nervous laugh.

Heh, I saw that earlier this year linked from someone on my flist, and my immediate thought was how long before Yuletide has "classic" RPS?

YES PLEASE.

[ariadne83]

I... There is so much pretty I don't even know where to look 0_0

[fifimom.livejournal.com]

wow! what a find. I just watched this 5 times and I'm sure gonna watch it some more. this reminds me that I've always thought it would be great to see Ben McKenzie play Paul Newman"s part for Cat on a Hot Tim Roof. Thanks!

I did a paper on Olivier once in school, and I remember the evidence being fairly convincing that he and Kaye were lovers for years. They were both with women at the same time also, iirc.

[fifimom.livejournal.com]

Fun and sexy and nervous and sweet but I've got to stop watching this little clip.

[ermynee224.livejournal.com]

Ha, I've had this favorited for a long time. I got back to it on rainy Sundays. ♥ ♥ I have unhealthy admiration for James Dean so yeah, I've been a fan of this slashiness for a while.

[ladyjaneva.livejournal.com]

oh, that is awesome!

They're so cute and somehow shy...hot! Paul Newman's eyes make me swoon anytime anyway.

Thannks so much! I bookmarked it to be able to enjoy it often from now on.

*blinkblink*

Meow.

[saena17.livejournal.com]

Wow. Even without the direct reference to kissing, that screentest has such amazing sexual tension. Thanks so much for posting it!

[azdaja-dafema.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU FOR THAT LINK.

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

Did you see I did comment fic for [info]trolleys about Brad working/owning the naked cleaning service?

WHAT? WHERE? HOW DID I MISS THIS?

And oh man! The chemistry here! If I was in the room then, I would have blushed and muttered, "Geez. Get a room, boys." and then stared some more.

[gwyneth-valora.livejournal.com]

Yep, there is stuff happening...

A day early

[the-lady-revan.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to stop lurking long enough to drop by to wish you a Happy Birthday!

(And a Happy Thanksgiving Day while I'm here ♥)

Dude, you have probably seen this, but have you seen this?!:

Alexander is having a meeting with the agency Endeavor, founded by, among others, Ari Emanuel - who Ari Gold's character in Entourage is based upon. (http://community.livejournal.com/alex_skarsgard/131917.html#cutid1)

Damn, now I want Ari meeting with Brad/Alex/Okay I admit it: they are both one in my mind, and being all hilariously snarky and generally Ari-ish and calling Stark/Nate Brad's girlfriend a la your Kingdom of the Blaggers and then Nate being all badass about it and Brad being all amused at seeing Ari, High Ruler of Hollywood up against Nate's Glare of Doom and then later at home Nate's like 'it's okay, I am your girlfriend really' but in that sweet, mischievous, non-emasculating way he has down so well and Brad's all 'we need to have sex NOW.'

... Okay so I just descended into calling them Brad and Nate. I clearly believe in just one version of reality.

Also, a very Happy Birthday for tomorrow! :)
