The Divergent powers-that-be are keeping their promise and delivering something big this week. We are getting one character poster each day. So far, it’s been Tori and Max. Though pretty awesome, they still allowed me to be functional. But yesterday wasn’t a very productive day at the office for either Gwen or me. This happened:
Yeah… So, Obviously, we texted. You just have to share something like this with your fellow fangirl. Little backstory here: Gwen and I love Jai. We fell for him when he was wearing diapers and had bleached blond curls. We called him “Overgrown Cupid”.
We went to watch “Jack Reacher” and “A Good day to die hard” just because he was in them. And he didn’t disappoint. So when we found out he was going to play the role of Eric, we were devastated. More even so, when we got to see who would play Four. As soon as I saw Theo James, I was a goner. But Gwen was conflicted. We had several conversations in which she stated that she had a moral and ethical dilemma, because she couldn’t like Theo because she liked Jai first (honestly, I don’t get the point. We have enough love to like them both at the same time). But there. That’s where we stand. We are conflicted. We are supposed to not like Eric, but it’s Jai playing him!!! Know what I mean? And then, that poster happened yesterday. Here’s the conversation that followed:
ALLY: Can we talk about this for a sec? (sends photo)
GWEN: YES PLEASE! I saw the poster on my dashboard and almost spit out my water
ALLY: Eric made you spit! Hahaha! I know I’m supposed to hate Eric, but… OMG those arms!
GWEN: LOL! Yes, he did! Those arrrrmmmmmssssssss!!! He’s so pasty in the trailer, he’s better with a little more color
ALLY: Indeed! And the tattoos… Jeez! This movie is going to kill me
GWEN: The tattoos on his neck bother me a little
ALLY: I just wanna lick them. While he speaks to me. His voice is so deep, it vibrates
GWEN: Yesss! I miss his voice. And he has pretty soft looking lips
ALLY: That he does
GWEN: Crap. I won’t be able to concentrate on the movie
ALLY: How are we supposed to “not” like him after this?
GWEN: I have no idea. Maybe we’ll just root for both. I’m gonna have to go see it more than once.
ALLY: Yeah! More than one viewing! Cuz I’ll drool so much the first time. I won’t be able to follow the story line
GWEN: Exactly
ALLY: I know you can’t see it here, but I hate his hair cut. I might just manage to hate him because of that
GWEN: I do too. Too short
ALLY: Too bad he didn’t go to comic con. I need to see him interact with Theo
GWEN: I think I’ll lose it if I see them being all buddy-buddy. Maybe that’s why they are keeping them apart. To show that after the movie
ALLY: Oh, please! Show them being all buddy-buddy cuz I need a reason to live. Can you imagine a conversation between those 2? It’s a competition to see who has the deepest voice
GWEN: And you just trembling in the middle. All that rumbling bass going back an forth. Hhhmmm
ALLY: Ok. I think I need a minute
GWEN: …
ALLY: I can’t type with that image in my head
GWEN: It’s too much. I know
ALLY: I swear I want him to have more scenes than in the book
GWEN: Yes! And with Four. A fight or something
ALLY: yes, please. A shirtless gight. Flail! Shirtless fight!
GWEN: Please! Shirtlessss! And sweaty!
ALLY: We should re-write the script
GWEN: Hahaha
ALLY: I’m ruining myself for the movie
GWEN: Nah… you’re fine!
Yeah, I know. We veered off course. We usually do.
