Oh holy FUCK!

My Dear Fellow Slashers, and especially cerulean_eyes:

I have found a new fandom.

The Boondock Saints. From the opening sequence of this movie, my heart was stolen.

Meet Connor and Murphy Macmanus.







These two are the strangest twins I've ever seen on celluloid, or even read in literature. They have the inseperablity of Pauline and Juliet in Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures; the psychotic madness of twin doctors Beverly and Elliot Mantle in Dead Ringers; and all the charm of Mark "Chopper" Read in Chopper.

They're scruffy Irish boys living in Boston, working in a meat packing factory, hanging about at local bars, living in a shite, leaky, half-finished, unfurnished loft in a crap neighborhood. They're extrememly intelligent, speak at least Gaelic, German, Russian, Italian and Spanish, and they're fighting machines. But not slick movie-type psuedo-martial arts fighting. I'm talking barroom brawling, throwing punches like boxers, getting roughed, bruised and bashed in.

And if you think you've seen SLASH between two men in a movie, my friends, I will see that claim, and raise you with these brothers.

I just sat there with my mouth hanging open the entire time, eyes wide in disbelief as they went around staring at and eyeing each other, constantly repressing wicked smiles at each other as if they share a joke on the whole world.





My heart stopped whenever they were on the screen, because they shout, tussle, argue about who came out of the womb first, climb and jump all over each other like little boys, wearing their hearts on their sleeves. And at other times, they just stand quietly together, as if silently reading each other's minds.


And dear god, please don't get me talking about their sweet, sexy Irish accents.

They're cheeky and hilariously witty without being irreverant, and love so fucking intensely you can barely stand it. And when they fear for the life of someone they love, like their semi-stupid friend, Rocco, they come apart, yelling and stomping and crying like their insides are being gutted.

So imagine what they're like when someone touches the other brother in a threatening way. The other one goes absolutely nuclear, to the point of superhuman feats.

In this sequence Russian mobsters handcuff Connor to the toilet...


...and take Murphy out to execute him.


Connor rips the toilet out (bloodying his wrists horribly) goes out on the fire escape, dumps the toilet on the head of one mobsters, then jumps five stories down onto the head of the other mobster.


Murphy instinctively knows his brother will be coming for him, and knows to take cover.


Then he scrambles like the world is on fire to throw Connor over his shoulder, and rush him to the hospital.


They wear the same clothes and rosaries...


...are tattoed identically with saints, except that one has "veritas" (truth) tattoed across his left hand, the other has "aequitas" (justice) on his right.




They sleep side by side... *gggnnnn*


...wake up side by side...


...wrestle around naked in their apartment (from deleted scene)


...go to Mass together...




...naturally move in effortless unison together...





...and instinctively recite in unison the catholic prayers taught them by their AWOL dad when they're killing.

Oh, did I forget to mention that? They're also vigilante killers. *grin* They take it upon themselves to rampage through Boston backrooms, violently wiping out evil doers.


They're doing terrible things, but you watch only the way they stare at each other, snicker, and fight when they disagree.

This is them ready to drop in on some baddies, but they get into an argument because Murphy thinks Connor wanting to bring rope was "Charles Bronson wannabe". So they argue, until they start wrestling. Yes, that's someone's hand gripping someone's head.




Then they fall through the ceiling, entangled by the ropes, which of course saves their lives.



And, *pants* the one thing you just know from watching the way Murphy watches Connor, is that Connor tops emotionally, but they take turns physically. *brays*





Their neighbors love them, the police adore them. And I've gone mad for them.

Whooo!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

[bunnysquee.livejournal.com]

oh no! not you too! a number of people on my flist have been sucked into the hotness that is norman reedus and i have been trying to resist it! apparently there's talk of a sequel ...

i haven't seen chopper ... *runs away*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you so much for the bloody awesome review and the pics and just... the whole thing! I've been dying to see this movie but it's not happening right now, damn wrong region DVD and all *glare*

[aleathiel.livejournal.com]

I've seen raving about this film before, but never actually stopped to read it.

You may have just convinced me. :)

And one of them (Murphy?) looks very familiar. I'm going to have to go peer at him on IMDB.

[fiesty-red.livejournal.com]

Sounds very interesting. ^_^ I love their tattoos. Now I will definitely have to rent this movie.

[lionflame.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooh!

*pervs happily*

So, when do we get fic?

*runs away*

[cerulean_eyes.livejournal.com]

OHMEFUCKINGGOD.

YOU. IN. THE. BDS. FANDOM. OHMEFUCKINGGOD.

Um. Yes. I cannot tell you how happy that makes me. I simply can't describe what I feel when one of my favourite movies is gushed about by one of my favourite writers. It's like I'm in heaven! DUDE.

[autumnaugur.livejournal.com]

*plugs fingers into ears*

Lalalalalalalalalalalalala

I'm not listening. I'm not. I don't have time for this.

Dammit!

[elaur.livejournal.com]

oh fucking hell. I'm gonna be dead now, arent' I?

[stewardess.livejournal.com]

I refuse to entertain the notion of this fandom until you justify the William Dafoe dressed as a hooker scene.

*g*

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

*greets you with open arms*

Welcome to the club! Cannot wait until you start writing this fandom. There's some really bad BDS fic out there.

Then again, some is really good.

[firiel77.livejournal.com]

Oh great. Exactly what I need. Another fandom. I have enough trouble getting anything done around here as it is. :D

[mrsbean.livejournal.com]

You're not being fair...again. First you suck me into the fiery pits of hell with BBB and Hector/Paris, and now this! And you act so, so cute and innocent with your Linus and Sally icon. Ha! You're evil woman, evil!

;)

[lunabloom.livejournal.com]

You know, I've never seen this movie, and I've only even heard about it in passing - but I saw a cap from the movie a while ago, and I had to rightclicksave it to my Photobucket account for some reason that is still not entirely clear to me. I didn't even know what movie it was from at the time. So clearly, I am fated to tumble helplessly into yet another fandom. I think I'll blame you, though. Hope you don't mind.

And did I hear you say you wrote a fic...? **scurries away**

[lazar-grrl.livejournal.com]

My little brothers own this and I've seen it at least a dozen times. Fuckin' hilarious, especially Willem Dafoe. Though after reading the slash, I might not be able to do it with a somewhat-pure mind anymore. Did you know they're making a sequel?

[sexkittenb.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm sorry for popping up like this, but I read your fanfic- it was great. And I love the way you described the movie play by play. ::laughing:: I saw the movie a few weeks ago and I was hooked, and now my boyfriend's paying the price. ::sly smile::

[afra_schatz]

Noooooooooo *frantically tries to cover her ears and eyes and _not_ slip her hand into her panties automatically* Not another fandom, Persephone. I implore you, you cannot drag me into another fandom. I have to learn for university, you evilevil woman from hell. *majorsigh*

Where can I get a copy from that film? *trolls off to read your fic*

[uisgich.livejournal.com]

I laughed all the way through this post cause it's exactly how I felt when I stumbled across the movie on cable late one Friday night ;)

What's not to love?

Ohmigod, it's Young Indiana Jones!

[montmorency.livejournal.com]

I was wondering what happened to that cutie. Turns out a perv named Persephone is slashing him, poor guy!

Listen, like it's not enough I'm trying to finish my H/P story and deal with the design job from hell at work, and then (like a fool) I watch "Master and Commander" and fall in love with the doctor and his handsome swain....

Two new fandoms at once. I may die.

Meanwhile, I put "Boondock Saints" on my netflix queue and moved it to the top.

Dear god. At times like these, I can only guh, and guh well, my friend.

GUH.

[hopeless-childe.livejournal.com]

you know that i'll be renting that the second i walk past 'west coast'

[cocoajava.livejournal.com]

Based on comments from friends, and this Ultimate BDS Sell-Post that I shall be obnoxiously spamming to my more stubborn friends, I'm friending your journal. No obligation to friend back.

But here, have a drabble (http://www.livejournal.com/users/cocoa_smut/14589.html) I flung out on my last drunken weekend, as a thank you for this lovely wallow-post. God, I love these brothers. I love BDS. So. Damned. Much.

[ezzvaldez.livejournal.com]

I must've missed this post while I was moving into my apartment and such. I've know about these lovely brothers for quite awhile now (I've owned the dvd for over a year now). I'm happy to see that you've discovered them too. ;)

[juniper-nyne.livejournal.com]

Hey - I got here by following the link at the end of stewardess_lotr's 'Loving Jesus' BDS fic.
This is such a brilliant promo for BDS slash. It should be the Flash intro for bds_fic or something.
