It's The End Of The World But Eva Green Is In Your Bathtub
By Joanna Robinson | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (32)
The oft-naked Ewan McGregor (my original Scottish boyfriend) and the lovely Eva Green have a new film that is set to premiere at the Sundace Film Festival this week. The movie, Perfect Sense is a love story set against the backdrop of a widespread pandemic. Green plays an epidemiologist and is one of the few former Bond girls who could do so believably. The preview seems a bit screamy/throwy/weepy, which would certainly not be out of place at Sundance. Have a look for yourself.
To be honest, I like screamy/throwy/weepy and they piqued my interest with Green and McGregor and hooked me entirely by putting them in a bathtub together. The tone of the preview reminded me of one of my favorite end of the world films, 28 Days Later. Except, you know, sadly lacking in Eccleston and rage monkeys. Director David Mackenzie’s other feature with MacGregor was 2003’s Young Adam which was excessively dour but benefited from some epic Tilda Swinton charisma. I dunno if Ms. Green has that certain SWINTON thing.
But, like I said, bathtub.
See what I mean?
Joanna Robinson’s current Scottish boyfriend is James McAvoy, in case you were dying to know. Both Joanna and James are not at all jealous that Dustin and Seth are going to Sundance. Not at all. Dammit, drink the Wasatch dry, boys.

I don't know, beautiful, heterosexual, racially-identical people don't make for very compelling love stories usually.
On the other hand, Eva Green.

Eva Green has that certain Eva Green thing, and yes, please.

Eva Green is THE ONE I would go gay for.
However, I dread this since it's my field and I just can't bear it when movies get the whole epidemic thing so wrong.

I like the actors and the trailer was decent, but there was too much "love story" and not enough "pandemic spreading widely" to pique my interest.

Why couldn't it be Kate Magowan?

I saw Dreamers after Casino Royale and despite really not liking that movie I think Eva Green certainly has a certain captivating charisma and I am looking forward to Pefect Sense.

I think the end of the world would be an acceptable price to pay for eva green in my bathtub.
Posted by: Woody at January 19, 2011 4:20 PM
I'm in. Very much so. I would go every which way and especially loose for Eva Green.

In Young Adam Ewan got to cavort with a naked Emily Mortimer.
In this he gets to cavort with a naked Eva Green.
Jammy git.

Why has it taken me so long to realise her name is basically evergreen?

I would clean my bathtub for that woman.

I would murder every one of you for one night alone with Eva Green.
Please don't misunderstand; I love you guys. But that wouldn't stop me for a moment from drowning you in acid if Eva Green would let me touch her. I would peel the skin from your muscle and sinew with a rusty spoon for the simple pleasure of smelling her perfume. I would rip the skulls out of your faces and play them like Ewok drums for a quiet evening in her presence. I would maim, dismember and destroy you with jubilant glee in return for a pleasant five-minute phone call. That's how little you mean to me.
But I love you.
Except for YOU Yossarian. Fucking literary characters smarting up the place all the damn time. GO BACK TO YOUR FICTIONAL WORLD, SIR! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

I NEED A YOUNG PRIEST AND AN OLD PRIEST!

Seconded, PaddyDog, on the whole going gay thing for Eva Green thing. I loves me some Vesper Lynd.
Posted by: noodlestein at January 19, 2011 5:02 PM
I'm not, however, as warm for her form as superasente. Yikes.
Posted by: noodlestein at January 19, 2011 5:04 PM
superasente - both scary and funny at the same time.
Someone get him a movie franchise - stat!
Posted by: Simon at January 19, 2011 5:09 PM
I think superasente may have revealed the motivations of the Jigsaw killer...
Posted by: Woody at January 19, 2011 5:14 PM
superasente, we are of the same mind. Because I would flay you alive, drop you into the deepest abyss, cast your balls into boiling acid and leave you to rot in desert if I could but get up in Eva Green's guts.
Posted by: Fredo at January 19, 2011 5:19 PM
Well. This thread has taken an unexpectedly murderous turn. I am both terrified and giggling.

Fellas, please. We all know Eva Green isn't about torture porn. You've got to kill your competitors with a Walther PPK, a smirk, and a tuxedo. Speaking of which...

The name's Rob. RobP. I'll take my White Russian tumbled, not stirred.

Rob, you're supposed to drink after you shoot, not before! You just shot the Prime Minister of Lichtenstein!
That will not get you closer to Eva Green goodness!

All this violent Internet forum talk got me a-rememberin' ol' Krazy Klaus Kinski:
'Herzog is a miserable, hateful, malevolent, avaricious, money-hungry, nasty, sadistic, treacherous, cowardly creep…he should be thrown alive to the crocodiles! An anaconda should strangle him slowly! A poisonous spider should sting him and paralyze his lungs! The most venomous serpent should bite him and make his brain explode! No—panther claws should rip open his throat—that would be much too good for him! Huge red ants should piss into his lying eyes and gobble up his balls and his guts! He should catch the plague! Syphilis! Yellow fever! Leprosy! It’s no use; the more I wish him the most gruesome deaths, the more he haunts me.'

On a side note, I adore the way Eva Green talks. She's like an old-school movie actress who has this biting-yet-smooth way of enunciating things that would not be out of place in a film noir.

Oh yeah, last night I was super tired so I ran a hot bath and got in with some scotch and Sartre. I had a bit too much of the scotch and not quite enough of the Sartre, and fell asleep.
Then about 15 minutes later my hands, OF THEIR OWN ACCORD, splashed my face with water and woke me up as I shouted 'WHAT THE FUCK?!' and stared at my hands with hatred.
That's got nothing to do with anything, but I find Pajiba a good ether in which to vent rage - whether it be rage directed at Brett Ratner or rage directed at renegade limbs.

Plot? Who needs a plot? This could 2 hours of Eva and Ewan smoking cigarettes and staring at each other intensely and I'd think it was a cinematic fucking masterpiece. Not to mention the greatest masturbation material in decades.

I used to have that Jude Law/Ewan bathtub pic on my wall. Thanks for reminding me it exists. =)

I agree completely with peanut re: Eva Green and Dreamers (I feel like we've agreed before). That was the most self-indulgent, borderline pedophiliac (for the 63 year old director, which becomes important at the end of this sentence) piece of shit I have ever seen, but she was a star and of course ridiculously hot.

And I was sure you meant Tennant.
I'm disappointed, young lady. Disappointed.
