Ian McKellan said...

I've quoted it before. And I've quoted it again. And again. And again. And a few months from now, I'll probably quote it again.

So here it is.

Actor Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films, says on his Web site: "I find nothing harmful in sharing fantasies about favourite characters or their interpreters even real person stories seem unobjectional as they are clearly fictional."


and that's all I have to say about that.

Huh. I had no idea he'd said that. Good for him. I bet if I were having moral issues about this that would make me feel better. But, yeah. I'm really not, so it's just interesting. I'll stop rambling now.

*nods, agrees*

The words fantasies and fictional stand out to me.

right on.

but once again, I feel like I'm missing something...

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Right there with you. I mean on the moral issues part.

If only I knew what those words meant ... :p

Ian Mckellan is my favourite person ever. I want to marry him. Except he's too old. and also gaygaygay.

You can still marry him! Don't give up the dream!

I love that man so much.
He won me over when he said he only took the role of Gandalf to work with Orlando Bloom

Apparently (and this is brand new information wank) those of us who are all 'Woo hoo. Gay RPS! Woo hoo Wincest!' are going to burn in hell. Or something.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously.

[identity profile] leighm.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 02:50 am (UTC)(link)

*snorts* seriously? that's meant to be news? I already have my carpet and drapes picked out for my special spot. haha

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ahahahaha. Yeah, that would've won me over too.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 02:56 am (UTC)(link)

*does the happy dance in your LJ*

srsly. somebody buy that man a drink BOY. (meaning, of course, the same thing it does in the disclaimers on boy!porn sites: a willing male over the age of 18)

*snorts and dies*

Man that makes me wanna watch my LotR Special Features! *runs over to pop in DVD* Oh, wait, that's right...my psycho ex-roommate STOLE the special features discs >.<

I love Ian McKellen. It's AWESOME that he said that, so, well, at least we know SOME celebs are okay with it. I think he secretly just likes reading Legolas/Gandalf porn and that's his subtle way of encouraging it. ;) heee

Also, I don't think you're going to burn in hell, Smidge, assuming you redact your statement that I'm gonna for not being into Wincest. You fucker lol ;)

I hate it when people tell me it's wrong for shipping people that were never together. Or writing about it. Slash or otherwise.

I knew he was one of the celebrities that doesn't care.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
*nods* I do too.

[identity profile] 20shannon.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 03:05 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Bad psycho ex-roommate! NO BISCUIT!

He probably does!

Ahahaha. Well, I guess when Judgement Day comes we'll see who's burning where. :p

Re: thank you for posting this

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-04-20 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. You're welcome.
