I felt the same about Mila. She's doing quite a bit of comedic work, and she is good at it, but she really has potential to do well in dramas.

With her face painted up like Pris. I'm just going to crash all of my OTPs into each other.

It was reading that comment, back when I was working through everything that Sho/Fred made me feel, that I realized others felt that way, too. I was further pushed along by a commenter on imdb who refused to go with the general consensus of Fredrick being an evil Nazi rapist; he argued his stance in every post it came up and he provided the first of QT's Romeo and Juliet quotes (the one about how the projection booth scene is their consummation). It's my absolute favorite scene out of the film, too. It's the best in the entire film, I think.
Someone told me before that they wished Quentin's films had more emotional depth. I was taken aback, because his work is rife with depth! The projection booth scene, the Bride's discovery of her daughter/showdown with Bill, and Jack Brown's goodbye to Max Cherry are my favorite scenes of his because of how much they get to me emotionally; I've cried buckets over them.
Watchmen is one of my favorite novels, and the full film (the director's cut on dvd, it's about four hours long) is one of my favorites. Adrian Veidt is my favorite fictional character in existence; everything about him, including his sexuality, is completely polarizing to the fandom. He's every shade of gray on the palette. Okay, so canon got warped to make pairings with him work, but the general rule of thumb in the fandom is, "Everyone's Adriansexual." Based off of the film's opening credits alone, people ship Adrian/David Bowie.
It's okay to have some prejudice about it, because it can get very out of hand. I recall seeing a Matthew Goode/Melanie graphic and I got cranky. Adrian Viedt and Shosanna Dreyfus are better off killing Nazis than being paired with each other.
That certainly sounds like her! I do remember the Karen/Dan because it led to a friend and I on twitter plotting out a fake film wherein Karen and Dan are BFFs and she helps him land Melanie. Along the way, Karen falls in love with Andrew Garfield (Karen and Andrew are the fan favorites for Lily and James Potter).
It's totally weird to ship them with other people. Sometimes I think I can, but that just leads to Dan and Mel, for example, finding each other and being the Franco-German OTP that they are. Mel/August will never make sense. Ever. sendhimaway and I talked about that; she and I like how complementary pairings can be, and Mel and August look too much alike. They could siblings because they're both angular and full-lipped and sleepy-eyed. Throw in Paul Bettany and you have the third sibling.
Dan would find it flattering, I'm sure. August would laugh at him (and maybe suggest Dan do something and give Mel a call).

He also feels actors should really stretch themselves and take on everything from every genre, too, though he's done war films, I like to think that my screenplay and my story are dynamic enough for him. He's certainly not done a post-war romance yet (and there aren't many of those).

I should, as it'd be the ultimate combination of my major loves. One of my friends around here, ellista, who makes those fabulous manips of Dan/Mel made a Sho/Fred fanvid. She's busy with her new job, but she hopes to share it soon. I'm good with editing, but oh, goodness, I'm not at the level of fandom vidders. Do you have any good Sho/Fred fanvid recs?
I follow the twitter for Tom's site, so I saw it earlier at work today. Getting updates on Tom is always a nice highlight to my day, much like when David Lynch tweets about his woodworking.
