Proof - I Am Kloot

Sometimes, a staring contest with Christopher Eccleston is EXACTLY what you need in the morning. 

Works for me.

I’m telling you. When he smiles, it’s magical.

It’s performances like this which make me disappointed when I hear people say they don’t like Eccelston or skip over that whole season just to get to Tennant. Tennant was fantastic and a brilliant Doctor, but there wouldn’t be a Tennant Doctor without Eccleston’s Doctor. The way Tennant’s Doctor was portrayed was the effect that Rose had on Nine. In the beginning, Nine was harsh and unforgiving having come back from the Time War, his time with Rose softened that harsh attitude and it’s really shown in this episode.

“Just this once, everybody lives!” Has to be my absolute favourite line in all the history of Doctor who because in that episode everyone did.

I cry in almost all of Nine’s episodes. But not happy or sad tears. Just fucking intense emotion tears. He was fantastic.

Ninth Doctor Quotes, series one

Always bring a banana to a party

(via comepraisetheinfanta)

I vaguely remember when Elizabeth came out in 1998, & despite it being a British costume drama, I somehow never got round to seeing it until recently. I wondered what my response to Christopher Eccleston would have been in 1998, but in 2012, suffice to say that whenever he was onscreen, “Sexy Bitch” kept playing in my head; DAYUM, thassa fine-looking man, so much so that his intensity & screen presence almost feel like overkill. I think if I’d known then that I was looking at the future Ninth Doctor, I would have been by no means averse to the idea (once I got done squawking, “Yeah, but he’s no Sylvester McCoy!”, of course).

One film I did see in 1998 was Hilary and Jackie, and believe it or not, at the time I couldn’t decide if I liked David Morrissey or James Frain better. (To be fair, they’re both pretty adorable in that movie.) In Elizabeth, however, ostensibly we were supposed to take Frain seriously as the Spanish ambassador, but I found his hair unintentionally hilarious. He looked like he was starring in a surrealist Tudor-themed remake of Young Einstein.

Though speaking of hair, it was so nice to see Edward Hardwicke without that silly toupee he wore in the Granada Sherlock Holmes series; I hadn’t realized how much affection I have for him as Watson—will I have this problem with Martin Freeman in the future?—but the instant he appeared onscreen, I went, “Awww…” as if seeing a beloved old uncle; witnessing the Earl of Arundel’s fate at the end, I found myself thinking, “Noooo!! Not Watson!!”

And apparently I have learned some things through osmosis in the past few years of watching fútbol, because I somehow recognized Eric Cantona & cannot otherwise explain how I know who he is. Vincent Cassel once again reminded me of certain creepy Québécois ex-NHL goalies, & I found him only slightly less unpleasant as he was in Derailed (the film I will forever think of as “108 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back”). Put almost any fellow in a dress & makeup & I’ll probably find him more tolerable, though.

Lastly, given that Eccleston played the 4th Duke of Norfolk in this film, & his predecessor the 3rd Duke was played by David Morrissey in The Other Boleyn Girl, I’m guessing that the main quality casting agents were looking for with both Norfolks was intense fuckability.
