Poor Michael Shanks *pets*  
OMG -- that Lifetime movie SUCKED. Yes, I am such a slave to hormones that I watched the whole wretched thing. I know, "Lifetime Movie = Sucks" but naive me hoped for better.

Michael, dear, I beg you to step away from the accents, the hair dye, and the bad, bad, bad haircuts. *shudder*

On the plus side? Taking off his shirt and unbuckling his pants. I can ignore the context, yes indeedy. It was made less painful by watching it via IM with [livejournal.com profile] jalabert and Söös. As Söös wisely noted, watching a Lifetime Movie for the Shanks is like watching porn: you watch for the action and ignore the crap in between. ;-)

And that concludes my spamming your f-lists today.

"Oh! I thought he was a gigolo in this but he just raped her!

Er, re-reading that now I thought I'd clarify "just raped her" was meant as "he just now raped her when I thought he was going to be a gigolo" not "Oh, he's just a rapist rather than an evil gigolo."

I was kind of hoping for a minute there -- and I think we were supposed to be suspicious for a minute -- that the person who set the judge up was her old (female) friend. That would have been a somewhat interesting twist. But I gather that it would have subverted the Lifetime-movie formula a little too much. Ah, well.

::grins:: at you and [livejournal.com profile] jalabert. These things are definitely more fun with company. And I was surprised too, after hearing that he was going to play a 'male prostitute' (and I forget where that information came from now, but maybe it was deliberate misdirection away from the incredibly obvious set-up *g*).

Heh, about his death scene, I wondered if getting shot was as annoying as getting zatted. *g*

Yes, yummy clothes!!

I had so hoped they were going to leave the rails and have the female friend be one of the Bad Guys. Or turn the Victim of the Evening Movie into a personal growth as her judicial philosophy changed as a result of her experience or...something. Sadly, it was not to be. Perhaps my second clue -- after the network airing it -- should have been the casting choice of Anne Archer.

I think they deliberately misled us about his role. My cable DVR description described him as a gigolo. Now, yes, he hired himself out to put her in a compromising position but if Cancer Man is to be believed, the rape wasn't part of the deal so I suppose I'm supposed to believe Jack's comment about "You're so beautiful" is supposed to mean that he was so moved by her unconscious form that he raped her? Um, ewwww, and no, men don't rape because the woman is just too sexy to resist, and, and...damnit, this is why I don't watch their movies. They get this stuff all wrong.

What was my point? Oh yeah, the gigolo thing was a ruse. I anticipated an entirely different kind of movie but, hey, I'm shallow. I can enjoy the nice clothes, the little bit of skin (very, very little), and the opportunity for Michael Shanks to go wacko.

(And I am so not making the whole, "Michael is Jack and going wacko" jokes. Really. ;-) )
