Blog as I watch: Tin Man

[logansrogue]

Well, it's three years overdue, but I'm finally watching Tin Man.



- So, seriously - how fucking HOT is Alan Cumming in this? Johnny Depp thinks he has the monopoly on eyeliner'd, weirdly sexually ambiguous Fantasy Dudes, but he doesn't. Alan Cumming fucking OWNS his arse in this, cause there's a world of depth in those dark eyes. *Swoon* Oh, yes indeed. I love him more than ever

- Zooey Deschanel's underacting is really conspicuous in this movie. All this weird stuff is happening to her and she's all, "Well... that's cool..." *slouch* *drags feet through OZ* Fucking hell. You have to do more than widen those baby blues, darling.

- Tin Man dude is awesome sauce. :)

- Lion dude breaks my heart!

- Winged monkeys from her tits?! What the fuck?! LOL!

- Ending of the first part - an expression, Zooey? Anything? You were just captured by your evil sister and your new friends are all being attacked by Monkey-bats. An emotion? ANY EMOTION AT ALL?!

- The treatment of the lions in this is really fucked up.

- Tin Man and Glitch are so hot for each other.

- Okay, so Evil Witch Sister just killed The Wonder Wizard and Zooey's like, *wince*. ZOOEY, WHY CAN'T YOU ACT?!

- Alan Cumming looks hot in leather trenchcoats.

- Toto's evil? Devious double-crosser just had to be BLACK, didn't he? >:-[

- WAIT! IT'S A MAGICAL NEGRO! He teaches her MAGIC. OH MY GOD NO.

- Ok, so she can heal trees. Heal MORE trees so the poor creatures have something to fucking eat!

- Part III

- YOU DO NOT DROP A LINE ABOUT KEEPING A BLACK MAN ON A LEASH. HOLY FUCK.

- "Father!" "...Son." Wow, the underacting is epidemic.

- Oh wait... her DAD is the Wizard. Then whodafark was Richard Dreyfuss?!

- Is it just me or does "Zero" look like David Miscavige?

- Alan Cumming? Still hot.

- OMG! An expression! WELL DONE, ZOOEY!

- "G'Morning sweetheart" Yeah, Tin Man and Glitch are definitely in love.

- Well, that was predictable. The ending, I mean.

It was all right. I enjoyed watching it. RL issues were making me grumpy while watching it though so I may be less that charitable in my review.

Xenu loves you.

Yeah, I was bothered by the literal Magical Negro. And his leash.

I was watching Tin Man earlier this year with monanotlisa and she said verbatim what you said on the magical negro issue. I can only say that I'm happy that I have both of you on my flist because that is something EVERYONE SHOULD POINT OUT SO THAT MAYBE IN THE NOT SO DISTANT FUTURE WE HAVE LESS TO BE ASHAMED OF IN OUR MOVIES. /sorry for shouting
I liked Tin Man because for once it isn't a lovestory in a fantasy setting. It's a story about family, trust and friendship, yay on all accounts! (Not that I'd have been adverse to Glitch/Tin Man...) And I agree on Alan Cummings hotness:)

Yeah, Magickal Negro (now with Leash, for added squickifying!) got to me a bit too. :/

I thought the ending was quite weak, really. "And they all lived happily ever after?" Geebus. I like my heroes to suffer some, and for that suffering to become part of their character, rather than "it's all better now, hurray!".

*talks in a tiny voice* Sometimes I think Zooey Deschanel is very, very overrated.

I actually prefer her sister, Emily. ♥ Bones

I enjoyed it,I thought it was a little uneven but better than the average TV fodder x 100000.

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!* YES! YES! YES! LMAO!
I knew you'd catch that. XD
After I saw this about a year ago I immediately went looking for Tin Man/Glitch fic. XD

I can't help it, I have a giant girl crush on Zooey :)

Alan Cumming is so completely hot. Have you seen Plunkett and McLean? He is amazingly hot in it and gets some awesome lines :D
