IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL YOU'RE CHECKING OUT MY EXEMPLARY ABS, MY BEING IS CALLING OUT TO YOUR BEING

[redbrunja]

disco_vendetta watched Pacific Rim and if you also watched that movie and thought ‘Raleigh and Mako really, really need to bang’, you absolutely have to read her post about it. Seriously, her post filled me with absolute delight yesterday morning, which was otherwise fairly unappealing.

And you know that sparring scene that make everyone go,‘holy fuck, that’s basically sex?’ Well, that was exactly what the director intended:

Interviewer: That fight scene between the two of them may still qualify as the best sex scene to show up in any movie this summer, even if they are both fully clothed.

Guillermo del Toro: That’s exactly how I shot it—like a sex scene. That scene was all about two people having an intimate connection after beating the crap out of each other. Basically, it’s the story of my life. And how I met my wife. [Laughs]

SHOT LIKE A SEX SCENE.

THAT IS NOT HOW YOU WRITE A PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP. I’ll repeat: THAT IS NOT HOW YOU WRITE A PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP.
