Picspam: Mark Strong in Body of Lies

[linndechir]

This really deserves the word 'spam' by now, doesn't it? I'm sorry, I've been meaning to post these caps with the ones yesterday, but this incredibly slow internet connection is driving me insane. Today's spam material: Body of Lies. Again, awesome movie. I have to admit that I really like Leonardo DiCaprio sometimes, even if I paid much more attention to Mark in this movie than to him. ;) Mark is just incredible - I never knew English with an Arabic accent could sound sexy. It can. I absolutely love the characters Mark chooses to play, and in this movie he isn't even a real bad guy. Not a very nice guy at times, but definitely not the big villain. Anyway, pictures say more than my rambling, let Mark convince you to watch the movie. :)


Hani Salaam, head of the Jordanian secret service. Notice surprise!DiCaprio in the background. He will return later in the picspam.


 

I love the beard. And the hair. And his clothes.


And his smile/laugh.


And ... okay, I love everything about this man.


He also pulls off a great WTF-face in this movie. Repeatedly.





Did I mention that he smokes in this movie?




I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist spamming you with these few seconds.


My brain cannot handle so much sexy in one picture. Guh.


Watching someone getting whipped and not giving a shit.


It's not that Hani Salaam is too clumsy to close his cufflinks. He just thinks it's more practical to let his wife do it. ;)


Hand. All I'm saying.




I really love his style. DiCaprio in that outfit just makes Mark look even better. ;)





 

He's classy even when sprawling. oO

This picture is kinda pointless, it's just here because I love it when Mark slaps people around. ;) Especially when he looks so wonderfully angry while doing it:












Smoking should not be so incredibly sexy:













He's obviously thinking what every sane person would be thinking: "OHMYGOD I want to jump him and I need to concentrate to control myself!" Btw, did I mention that I ship them?




This picture is, imo, a perfect example of UST.






No Mark picspam without at least one funny face.






Creepy.


I don't think anyone is still surprised by the amount of hand-shots in my picspams.



We're almost done. Have some more hand and smoking porn:







He's looking at DiCaprio's character. How could I NOT ship them?






He looks like he's trying not to laugh. ;)





Somehow this picspam turned out to be longer than intended ... It's Mark's fault, not mine. ;) Btw, does anyone know if there's fic for these two? Or does anyone want to write some? ;)

There will certainly be more picspams, I just don't know when. I still need to post the Hans Matheson caps from The Mists of Avalon.

ROFL. I think you're the first person to call Mark a babe. ;) Glad you like him, though. :D

He certainly is a babe, but in this particular movie he is such an elegant, seductive, and brilliant babe that he takes my breath away.

I love his cat-like grace as Hani and the way he uses his two fingers to slap people, tap on windows, etc. It is a very "to the manor born and accustomed to being treated as royalty" way of gesturing. And he doesn't just say the words "my dear," he purrs them.

And in so many reviews, he is called a baddie in this film, when that couldn't be further from the truth. He is the hero as far as I am concerned. I mean anyone who shows up with the cavalry two seconds before your head is cut off is MY HERO. Gee I have so much more to say about him. And I will.

Hi to all the rest of you Mark fans. He is such a rare and undiscovered gem, at least to American audiences. I mean he doesn't even appear on the posters of Stardust even though he was the whole movie!

I love Mark's hands. No matter what he does with them. It's true, though, he has such almost regal authority, it's amazing. And not just when he plays characters like Lord Blackwood or Hani or the Duke of Norfolk, even when he plays guys like Harry Starks, except there the authority takes a bit of a different turn. Rougher, but still very imposing.

I agree, Hani is not a bad guy at all. Actually, compared to Hoffmann, he's more the good guy.

It's absurd - he isn't even on the cover of the RocknRolla DVD, and Archie is pretty much the most important character in that movie. *sigh*
