eh, weird question
Does anyone know if there's a McKay/Sheppard reworking of Notting Hill? The roommate and I were spinning this odd hypothetical world in which all the stars come to our little podunk town to hide out from the paparazzi and drive beat-up pickup trucks. That got me thinking of Notting Hill and how, like so many things in this world, it would be a weirdly appropriate AU for John and Rodney.
I mean, Rodney running a scientific bookstore and worrying about income, and John the super-famous actor and Rodney's celebrity crush wandering in to buy a book on, oh, Poincare's theorem or something, and Radek the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.
Or, you know, John running a weird secondhand book store that's all dusty and has weird stuff like the complete run of National Geographic from 1970-81 and a lot of books on flight, and Rodney the super-famous scientist and John's geeky crush wandering in looking for old scifi to mock, and Ronon the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.
Yeah.
In other news: I spent all last night and most of today feeling cranky and lame and out of sorts. But I found my passport, which has been missing for a year, and also I have had chocolate-espresso cookies and tea. Things may be looking up, at least with respect to chocolate and ability to flee the country.

Although, really, what movie can't - with some patience - be twisted into John/Rodney?
no subject
Actually, very, very few. I'm sure there are some, but... *scratches head* We should look around IMDB and see what sorts of things might be there that would require effort to twist into John/Rodney.
But still, I think you're right, if only because the ingenuity/strangeness of fandom cannot be overestimated :D
no subject
The only movie I can think of right now that could never be turned into John/Rodney, is this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116681/) one. Though I'd be pretty horrified that anyone would want it into a John/Rodney.
no subject
.... wow.
A little kid shrinks himselfs so that he can travel into the body of his grandfather. Here he has to kill the kidney-stone his grandfather is suffering from.
I have to admit, I've never seen it (I know!) but maybe it could work in a kid!verse, where John is the adventurous kid who goes on a Fantastic Voyage into his grandfather's...
Wait, I just weirded myself out. Never mind.
no subject
And yes, the thought of John shrinking himself for the Fantastic Voyage is one that should not be pondered much about.
Here, have a picture of John in white with his hair at it's best to make up for it (or distract you from it). I'm sorry for even bringing that movie up.

I read the one review of the movie and, um, would Rodney be the teddy bear? The bear seems very knowledgeable, seeing as he's apparently the one responsible for helping the kid shrink himself. That's sort of sciency. I guess. In a way :D And Rodney is very teddy-bearlike!
no subject
Although, apparently one of the bloodcells the boy meets and befriends is "grumpy and shy". and apparently a bit clever. So that too, could be Rodney.
If we were discussing this movie being turned into John/Rodney that is. Which would be weird :P
no subject
Hmmmm... I'm thinking the teddy bear could be maybe Radek or Carson and the grumpy and shy blood cell could be Rodney, especially if the blood cell and John have to spend a lot of time together.
(As friends of course, anything else would be freakish and unnatural.)
f we were discussing this movie being turned into John/Rodney that is. Which would be weird :P
Yes, yes it would be :D Yet strangely hypnotic.

And yes, as friends of course. We don't want John (at the kiddy-stage or any stage at all) in a relationship with his grandfather's blood cell. Or at least, I'm fairly certain we don't.
Yet strangely hypnotic.
Much like a train crash, I feel. One wants to stop, look away, and yet instead you take a step towards it.
no subject
Iiiiii'm... pretty certain too :D

Yes, yes that's exactly it :D
no subject
And, y'know, clearly the evil part of the body that's planning to blow everything to bits with a giant kidney-stone is Kolya.
no subject
I think it is now conclusively proven that this movie can, in fact, be made John-and-Rodney.
:D

Sex and the City? Come on. It's too easy.
Oh, yeah, you know it! I've had "Sex and the City????" scribbled down in my notebook for eons.
