I watched Shark Attack III this evening while cleaning.
I'm not proud.
You knew that.
Sam's Three Things About Shark Attack III: Where Are The Cocktails?
1. This film is famous for being the film in which John Barrowman's character says to the heroine, "Whaddaya say I take you home and eat your pussy?" Believe it or not, the sex scene that follows this line is even more awkward than the line itself. I'd like to put this in perspective for you: This is a film about a prehistoric, bus-sized shark which grunts when it's about to eat something, and John Barrowman's grunting is more frightening.
2. There are several other lines in this film that are just as deserving of attention, including "Sharks are always biting things!" and "Because you're my bitch." My personal favourite is "But it's a damn dinosaur! How did it get here?" because looking sexy while saying something like that is truly excellent ramp-up for playing Captain Jack Harkness.
3. ![[personal profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) cruentum knows everything there is to know about John Barrowman. This is truefacts. He knows what John Barrowman thinks about this film (a film which incidentally features a blatant hand-job on a boat about ten minutes in). While I was watching it, he and I had a little talk.
cruentum: I still LOL that it's the pussy line that makes Barrowman say he can't show it to his niece and nephew.... really?!
Sam: I would think the burning shame would be what prevented him, but we all know he has no shame.
3a. Look, I don't really have anything else to say about this film, so here is John Barrowman in a wetsuit.
Having seen Shark Attack III and Sherlock Holmes Not The Good One in the course of a single week, I feel like I need to find the worst film David Tennant ever made just so I can round out the trilogy. Given that he's done less than his fair share of shit films, I'll settle for something with at least one sea monster and/or dinosaur in it.
Casanova didn't have any dinosaurs in it, did it?
I didn't think so.

If you were actually going for good quality-and-young rather than shit, you could watch Takin' Over The Asylum. If you want brilliantly self-mocking satire, go for his episode of People Like Us called 'The Actor'.
I've actually seen Takin' Over The Asylum, he was a sweetheart in that :) And very, very typecast...
He was so desperately young in that, and had had so few jobs, that he wasn't typecast AT ALL. It's all the roles that have followed that have fulfilled the typecast. :D
I've seen his audition, actually, and it's brilliant. It's probably on the interwebs somewhere, since it was an extra on the DVD release. He climbs on a table, and all sorts of things. You want to sort of nail him down to halt the movement, but then, Tennant can be like that anyway. :D
Well, what I mean is, it's not exactly a stretch for him to play manic, is it :D
Ah, well, no. Not really. XD
What I liked about the video diaries from DW S2 box set was seeing him in a somewhat relaxed state, often late at night or first thing in the morning. It was interesting seeing him calm, and just talking, unscripted, to a small video camera, about the whole experience of becoming the Doctor. Good viewing, if you haven't seen it. There are some marvellous fanboy moments. His squeeing over working with K9 and Liz Sladen is particularly adorable.
To be perfectly honest, I adored Casanova. ^^;;
... I'm thinking that I should totally watch that movie. Hey, I watched King Kong TWICE.
You would LOL at this film :D
I have to make sure the girls are in bed though.
Imagine the next trip to France:
Tadpole: Mum?
Me: yes?
Tadpole: are you extra sure the shark won't eat the plane?
Stewardess *drops tray*
Me: yes, sweetie. Go to sleep.
not to mention "eat your pussy".
Froglet: Ew. Why does he want to eat her CAT?
There's also a lot of sex and a LOT of swearing in it. So unless you want your girls learning new and imaginative ways to swear....
I am very, very afraid.
But not of the wetsuit pic. And I apparently have a fetish for guys in glasses. Who knew?

Well. David Tennant is in that new St. Trinian's film, which could potentially be like hilarious bad!fic. You're right though, it's hard to find works of his that are really really *bad*.
