"Sweep! Sweeeeeeeep!"
Feb. 5th, 2007 05:21 pmI may have a tiny little crush on Paul Gross. He is quite pretty, after all (there is no way he's in his mid-40s, surely), and he appears to play a lot of softspoken, sensitive, very-intelligent-but-very-oblivious-and-maybe-a-bit-crazy characters I like, and play them well. Hence, today I watched Men with Brooms.
It was predictable and a bit cheesy in places, but, dude. It's about curling, which is possibly the goofiest sport ever invented. It probably could've been ten times more predictable and cheesy and still been funny. I know there are people who take it seriously, but I can't see two people furiously sweeping a patch of ice in front of a slooowly sliding ball of rock without cracking up, I just can't.
Paul Gross's character is very much like Geoffrey Tennant, soall you Slings & Arrows fans
rowdycamels, you may want to check it out. He even went crazy and left his fiancee at the altar, and, apparently, can at least hear a dead father-figure, if not respond to him. And as far as I can tell, PG has it stipulated in his contract that everything he does involves a shot of his naked rear end. So, lots of similarities. Obviously.
And Beth, Sharon's kinda-but-not-really girlfriend from Wonderfalls, shows up in this! She's blonde this time. I think she looks better as a blonde, actually, although she's quite pretty no matter what.
Anyway. Obviously, I now need to see Due South.
