schmericaHi, you guys! I just wrote the first 500 words of a totally self-indulgent story about my Completely Random and Totally Unlikely Het Crossover RPF OTP. It's awesome. It occurs to me that not all of you immigrated into bandom from due South and other such climes, so it's worthwhile for me to do a picspam at this juncture, so you will have some clue where we're coming from.
This is Ellen Page.
You may have heard of her! She has a new movie coming out, Juno, that's getting a ton of positive buzz.
I first heard of her through due South fandom -- which has a tendency to become a general "Canadian actors" fandom, what with everybody's having worked together. Ellen was in Wilby Wonderful, which starred Paul Gross, Callum Keith Rennie, and Sandra Oh. Most of us were pretty distracted through the movie by CKR basically playing a queer angel, but when we could drag ourselves away enough to notice? Ellen Page was really good.
Probably what she is best known for right now is the indie film Hard Candy. This is possibly the most disturbing, hard-to-watch, traumatic movie I have ever seen, but I'm still glad I watched it, even if I never will again. Because seriously, this girl? Is a fucking amazing actress.
She was also in X3, as Kitty, which is definitely her biggest profile role to date. She talks about that as being a good experience, but partly because it allows her to take lots of the quirky interesting small movies that she really loves.
She's picky about her roles, too, because the average teenage girl role in the movies isn't interesting to her. Teenage girls aren't all paper dolls; they can be intelligent and complicated.
She also speaks openly about her feminism in interviews.
She's really smart. She's quirky. She's her own person. She's interesting.
I kind of want to be her best friend, to tell you the truth.
Also, to be honest, she's really pretty.
And sometimes she looks like Ryan Ross.
Apparently once in a while she even steals his wardrobe.
So, yes. Ellen Page! Made of win! LOVE HER.
