Why are you making us choooooose? *big, sad eyes*

[aria]

It is truly terrible!

On the other hand: MANY PRETTY PICTURES. :D?

[happydork]

But- But- But every day there are fewer of them! If you didn't make us choose, every day there could be twenty beautiful pictures!

My logic, it is flawless.

[aria]

You make an exceptionally good point. :D

[sophia_sol]

Peter Wingfield D:

Unrelatedly, it is fascinating how much the different pictures affect who I find attractive and who I don't. For example, the last few days I've been distinctly unmoved by Katherine Hepburn, but today all of a sudden I went OH HEY. (unfortunately for her, that's not enough for her to get over the bias I have developed over the last two days...)

[aria]

It is okay! He is still beautiful, and now I do not have to keep shaking the internet and seeing if any pictures of him AT ALL fall out.

I am glad you have seen the light of Katharine Hepburn, even if you are still voting against her. I confess I don't always find her pretty, but goddamn, I have the world's biggest crush on her.

[sophia_sol]

I have actually never seen a Katharine Hepburn movie! I take it you think I should rectify this....

[aria]

I I oh my god. Okay, my favorite movie with her in it is The Lion in Winter, although she's one of only an intersection of reasons that I adore it; for young Kate being goddamn glorious, try The Philadelphia Story. And if you like those I can rec you more, although a lot of the ones I'm fond of are screwball comedies, so if you get embarrassment squicked by that I will ... have to think up others, I guess. She was in a hell of a lot of films. :D

[sophia_sol]

Well Lion in Winter is already basically at the TOP of my to-watch list of movies, on account of ELEANOR OF ACQUITAINE, and also your previous enthusiastic recommendations of it. So now it is even more of a priority, obviously!

The Philadelphia Story is also now on my to-watch list, and looks like fun.

And yeah, screwball comedies are...often not the best for me. But it depends!

[aria]

\o/! And I hope you will enjoy them even if you do not magically develop a Katharine Hepburn crush. :D

[sophia_sol]

I hope I will enjoy them (and Katharine Hepburn) too! I am sure I will though. They sound excellent.

[sentientcitizen]

(Pst - if it helps, my favourite insane history Prof thinks Lion in Winter is worth a watch, for the comedic historical inaccuracies if nothing else. He even made us watch one of the scenes with Hepburn during class.)

[sophia_sol]

WELL then, clearly I need to watch it with you so you can point out the comedic historical inaccuracies!

[alpheratz]

My favorites are The Philadelphia Story and Desk Set!

[paperpenguin]

OH MY GOD.

Yeah, fix it. Her purring enunciation and heavy-lidded skepticism hold a lot of her appeal.

[paperpenguin]

PS ALSO SHE WENT TO BRYN MAWR SO /SEVEN SISTERS

[sophia_sol]

HAVE NO FEAR! A fix is in the plans!

(the meaning of your Bryn Mawr comment, though, eludes me...)

[paperpenguin]

It means I have a slight added bias of Alma Mater kinship because my mother went to Bryn Mawr, and I went to Mount Holyoke (and at least one person reading this went to Smith). :3

[sophia_sol]

Ah, gotcha! The world of American colleges is mysterious to me. :D

[polarisnorth]

Two! Aria and I are both Smithies.

[paperpenguin]

I'm guessing that there are a bunch of you. And at least one other Moho, too. :D

Ooh, interesting! A whole world I knew nothing of!

[paperpenguin]

:D

I am glad you found the link amidst my TOTAL FAILURE at html tags. XD

[alpheratz]

Well I was gonna vote off Katharine Hepburn like I said, but that picture is too pretty, so I had to vote off Zooey instead.

I see you're making John Simm be the serial killer on this go-round. :D It's all about balance.

[aria]

Mwhahaha. Victory! I mean, of course, aww Zooey, but I apparently have a Katharine Hepburn Agenda.

HEE. My taste in CKR and John Simm is AWESOME, okay. I'm laughing so hard now.

[alpheratz]

I think the pictures definitely have a big effect on who people are voting for. I find Zooey way too precious, but this is the first time you posted a picture of her that actively annoyed me. *is so lookist*

Anyway, given your flist I'm pretty sure we'll end up with Martha and Amy duking it out (I will be helping that happen), so it almost doesn't matter in which order everyone else gets voted off.

[aria]

Indeed they do! It's fascinating. And I think I'm becoming better at guessing how the collective flist-mind works, too; I went into this round guessing that it'd probably be Zooey going, although of course there's still plenty of time for that to change. (I may be using my newfound psychic powers in an attempt to keep Ellen Page in the running as long as possible, just to see if I can. I would be doing the same with Katharine Hepburn except that in my brain, all pictures of her are the most attractive picture.)

given your flist I'm pretty sure we'll end up with Martha and Amy duking it out

I think you are right! And on that day I will have NO IDEA who I want to win.

[alwayswondered]

John Simm has been the serial killer on EVERY go-round! D:

[sentientcitizen]

How can Zooey Deschanel be WINNING? She's so ridiculously pretty!

(If I was having any doubts over my queerness, they're being assuaged by how much more invested I am in the girl's poll than the boy's one...)

[aria]

I think the answer might be "Oh god ALL OF THEM are ridiculously pretty!"

(Hah. I hear you. I could easily have done this meme with twenty ladies.)

[sentientcitizen]

They are all VERY VERY PRETTY! But I would totally have ranked Zooey among the top two or three. I very much expected her to make it half way at the least!

Also, I have discovered the "change your vote" function. And am now using it to frantically vote ANYONE BUT DAVID TENNANT. Your flist needs to re-evaluate their priorities. *sage nod*

[aria]

Isn't the "change your vote" function awesome? You can use it to save endangered actors! :D

[tei]

Changed my vote to CKR out of SPITE.

Yeah, I don't really know why I was so invested in that tiebreaker. But NOOOOOOOO :(

Jon Simm is surrounded by... fans in that picture? Like, the metal kind. Maybe they were planning on doing the hair-blowing-back thing before and then realized he doesn't have enough hair? Vienna Teng is much prettier when she is singing! And RDJ looks like he hates everything.

[aria]

HEE. I find this strangely charming!

And YES John Simm is surrounded by actual fans! I not-so-secretly adore that picture simply because I can go "Look! John Simm has FANS!" And I think that is RDJ's picture of ~attitude~.

[innocentsmith]

I covet Ellen Page's dress and belt.

The inclusion of Katharine Hepburn makes me want to do an all-vintage version of this poll. But I suspect that would just come down to "who of these people have you ever heard of" which would knock out somewhat more obscure people like Louise Brooks. Which just wouldn't be fair, because goddamn, Louise Brooks.

...And then I got distracted looking at pictures of Marilyn. As usual.

[aria]

It is indeed lovely! Finding good pictures of Ellen Page is kind of a challenge, because girl's 24 but she looks about 18 unless she dresses a very particular way.

I would be all over an all-vintage version of this poll. I mean, yes, it probably would become a "who have you heard of" contest, but -- I have never heard of Louise Brooks before, and from those pictures alone, I would NEVER vote her off because I think I want to stare at her ALL THE TIME.

[paperpenguin]

This is getting so exciting! >:D

[aria]

Indeed! And it's ridiculous, I'm overinvested in EVERYONE.

[polarisnorth]

Okay, I had been unmoved by Idris Elba the past two days, but GODDAMN. Vote changed to CKR, also out of spite.

Why are David Tennant and Ewan McGregor winning today? I have concluded that your flist is full of very strange people.

[aria]

Idris Elba: AWESOME. Finding multiple good pictures of Idris Elba: LESS AWESOME. Ahahaha, CKR getting the spite vote.

I tell you what, though, if Tennant is voted out this early I will have to give my flist an exceptionally stern talking-to.

[tei]

OH MY GOD MY SPITE VOTE IS TIED WITH DAVID TENNANT HOW IS THIS HAPPENING

[oliviacirce]

Should I send you all my pictures of Idris? Actually I don't have that many, but some of them are smoking! Actually all of them are smoking, this is Idris Elba we're talking about.

[aria]

Oh my god, PLEASE DO. I only have one more lined up, and I highly suspect that he's going to make it another few rounds at the very least.

[entropical]

This is the most agonizing game of this I have ever played. The ladies poll is going to make me cry at some point. Also, I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR LEE PACE. NEVER.

[aria]

I knowww. I mean, right now David Tennant is losing this round, and I am going "FLIST, DO I HAVE TO BREAK UP WITH YOU?" I apparently take him more personally than CKR.

All the ladies are gorgeous! How can you vote for any of them, that is my question.

[oliviacirce]

Noooooooo PETER WINGFIELD. :(

I appreciate that I have not changed my vote in three rounds! STILL UNATTRACTIVE, EWAN MCGREGOR. Although this picture of Zooey is so adorable I almost couldn't vote for her, except then there were all the other ladies.

[aria]

HE LIVES ON IN OUR HEARTS.

What are you going to do when Zooey is gone? This is a relevant question because she has a definite lead on being voted out this round.

[oliviacirce]

Also he is immortal, so I guess it's okay.

I HAVE NO IDEA. It will probably depend on the pictures, but I'll tell you this much: KATE HEPBURN IS MY #1.

[aria]

Exactly!

You are, as always, a woman after my own heart. KATE HEPBURN FOREVER OKAY.
