Bumblebee picspam

I saw 'The Bumblebee Flies Anyway' the other day. The movie itself was rather slow. I'm afraid I dozed off here and there. Bit of a disappointment, that movie, especially when it was said that it was produced by the same people who came up with 'Dead Poets Society' and that was one of my favourite movie of all time.

But Elijah more than made up for everything. I've seen the screencaps for that movie all over LJ and some people have said that Elijah was at his most beautiful in that movie ( other than LOTR ). I agree with that statement wholeheartedly. Elijah will always be beautiful of course, but as Barney Snow - he was simply and absolutely breathtaking. I fall in love with him all over again, watching that movie.

Here are some of my favourite shots of Elijah. Every shot was beautiful and I had a hard time choosing the ones that I like best.

I give you ... Elijah Wood as Barney Snow.





I love seeing him wearing this sleeveless shirt ( is that what is called a 'wife-beater'? ). I adore his slender arms, lightly muscled and with the veins showing tantalizingly when he was lifting that car-contraption thing.










That perfect, straight nose, his eyebrows, his delicate ear. That tiny frown that on most people would have marred their features but on Elijah it only enhanced his beauty.




And what I wouldn't give to run my hand through that soft, silky hair.




Need I say anything?









So ethereal looking.







And grievous_angel, I would have swooned if I hear Elijah saying my name the way he said yours in that movie ... Cassie...

For me the ultimate Elijah will always be Green Street Elijah. I'm just so pleased that, no matter what, that will be there forever.

Barney's not bad though! If little young for me.

Even more than Frodo? And did you mean pic-wise or acting-wise?

I love him in all his roles but my favourites ( apart from Frodo, that is ) are Casey and Kevin. I really think that Rodriguez knew how to bring the best out of him. And Art Dodger too, despite the bad accent which I didn't realize at first until Cass said that his Cockney accent was actually horrible :-)

I mean looks wise, Green Street Matt is my ultimate Elijah -- even over Frodo and that's saying something!

Oh the Artful Dodger's accent is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad I can't bear to listen to it. If I want to watch that film I have to do it with the sound down!!

Hee, now that's a lot of O's *g*

GSH is the man-Elijah. I think starting from 'Ash Wednesday' onwards he had started to look more like a man while in 'Deep Impact','Flipper', 'The Faculty', 'Bumblebee', 'LOTR' he was, as Annwyn has very aptly put it, on the cusp of manhood. ( that word gives me tingles - cusp ).

However, in RL, in Punk'd for instance, he seemed to have gone back to his 'cusp' phase. And even though I dont quite like his current look, I guess he really needs that image :-)

I'd agree with him being on the cusp (oh, *such* a good word!) in The Faculty and LOTR but I'm not sure about Deep Impact, Bumblebee and Flipper -- I think he was still a boy then which is why I watch them in a different way. I have a son of the same age as him in some of those films and that's just too close for comfort for me.

He seems to have the ability to go back and forward between looks, one minute a man, the next he's not quite there yet.

I do adore him for it.
