Fridaly pictures return! The Covenant

I have spent today off work because of a tummy bug. I slept some hours and I spent some hours in fannish pursuits, like taking screencaps from "The Covenant" movie. :D

Whatever way you look, "The Covenant" is not a good movie. But it is such a pretty one! This collection of pictures is dedicated to the fact that the prettiness like this CAN NOT BE IGNORED.

Featured:
Steven Strait
Taylor Kitsch
Toby Hemingway
Chace Crawford
Sebastian Stan
Kyle Schmid



Also:
Smiles
Man pain (or boy pain to be correct)
Arms (of the kind that are good to have)

I see what you mean about the pretty. :

I don't even remember coherently what the movie was about. :D

Hee! It looks like one of those films that thinks "Acting? Basic plot? Why do we need those? We have pretty boys instead!" And right they are. ;)

This is the film where they are male witches or something isn't it?

And sorry to hear about you being sick. Hope you feel better fast! :)

To be fair, the acting is not at all bad. The dialogue is restricting and it is rather big credit to the young actors that they manage to pull it off somehow. Apart from Taylor Kitsch who seem to be just exactly the same as in FNL the guys were delightful to watch. :D

I am already better - it is just one these tummy things!

oh, steven.

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I was surprised when I found out that he is Stephenie's "perfect Jacob" as he doesn't look too much of a Native American but after "The Covenant" I TOTALLY AGREE. HE IS PERFECT!

I pretty much need to see this movie immediately.

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It is gorgeously done, as you see. :D

I absolutely loved The Covenant, for three main reasons:
1- the opening sequence was pretty cool
2- the plot, while highly unbelievable and somewhat stretched, was ok for this type of film
3- the pretty!!

Ok reason 3 is probably the main one tbh but I'm sure people can appreciate that. ;) After seeing this film I thought Steven Straight would make a great Jacob. I mean...he has that nice, warming smile, seems to have a Jacob-like hug (idk how to word it but I know what I meant! hehe) plus he's so toned...and doesn't look half-bad with a shirt off, you know? ;)

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree with you - I also like the cinematography and the use of music in the film. Plot wasn't at all annoying and this is a big plus. :D

Stephen is so much a perfect JAcob. It is just the way he is so .. sunny and happy and warm..

[identity profile] okelay.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
i love steven strait. he really is a perfect jacob. and this movie is so full of pretty, it's fantastic!

I 'fess up - I watched it twice already. :D

[identity profile] earlgrayhot.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
{{{{Hugs}}}}} Hope you're feeling better!

Yeah The Covenant was pretty lame and although you're right about the pretty; I feel like a creepy dirty old woman when I start lasciviously eying such youngsters - I mean, my son is only 4 or 5 years younger than these boys!

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I have been feeling a bit run down lately - this is usually a sign I need to start exercising again! But thank you very much - I am feeling better already, it is just a tummy bug.

I feel like a creepy dirty old woman when I start lasciviously eying such youngsters

I know the feeling. :D I have passed through the same when I "discovered" Asian drama (full of attractive young actors :D). But at the end I decided that this is all fictional and imaginary and that in RL I am a sensible lady who always likes her men older.. So I decided to stop worrying. :D

It is amazing that so much pretty doesn't burn the screen :D

[identity profile] starsfallforus.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
he is the embodiment of jacob black. srsly. i don't know anyone else who would be perfect for the part. thanks for sharing. <3

i may turn these to icons if i have time. i'll make sure to credit you.

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
At first , I thought: "He doesn't look like Native American". But when I saw him act I don't think I'll ever imagine that anyone else can be better.

Oh, please use the screencaps any way you want. I am not at all worried about credit.

[identity profile] frotcake.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven Strait's smile makes me smile. I love him. Just for that.

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-25 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
True!!!!!!!!!! (But there are so many other reasons too :D)

[identity profile] edwardscupcake.livejournal.com 2007-11-23 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my.

Steven looks absolutely delicious!!

I'm surprised all this prettiness didn't burn the screen!:P

SO much pretty in one place should be forbidden!

I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather today!!! I hope you get well soon!! On the other hand, yay for fun projects and fannish pursuits!!!

I saw this movie last summer and it was terrible in my opinion, but I totally agree on the prettiness of the actors *fans herself*

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-25 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
I am better but it seems I am getting a cold :(

I also liked the cinematography and the music - altogether the films seems quite a waste of great resources!

[identity profile] teamxcullen.livejournal.com 2007-11-24 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I LOVE HIM
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM!!
haha=]
He is perfect beyond words for Jacob.
I'm so depressed about who will play him now.
lol

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-25 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it may be still someone we'll like - but I will remember Steven . :D

Too much of pretty - isn't it! I am so glad you are watching FNL, though!!!!!!

I think my screen melted from all the HOOTTT. I like this movie. :D And I don't even know what it's about. :D

The film is about teenager boy-witches but it's main good quality is pretty (MUCH PRETTY!)

chace crawford is pretty! :)

To tally agree!

[identity profile] replays.livejournal.com 2007-11-24 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
This movie tottally made Steven Jacob for me.
I think it's his smile, the most, really. He's got that sort of smile where his eyes crinkle up and he looks ten years younger.
Which is kind of how Jacob his-a little kid in a big boy body. XD
Steven can pull of angteh and passionate AND laid back/humorous pretty well too.
Plus, the whole long hair/short hair thing.

Agree with everything! And he is so unbelievably HUGE! And warm! And makes me fuzzy!!!!!!!!!!!

All these boys, and he ends up kissing a girl?!? Well, this hasn't helped in changing my mind, not the least bit! It still seems to me like a total waste of time. LOL ;)

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-25 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, man! You are one hard to please lady ! :D The boys spend a lot of time together, though. :D

I hope you'll feel better soon! :) *HUGS*

Oh wow pretty indeed! I remember laughing at this trailer when it used to air on tv. :P

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-25 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It is not at all BAD as far as BAD goes - the pretty is overwhelming and the story is silly but not annoying.

[identity profile] teh-haley.livejournal.com 2007-11-24 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
so, WHO ON EARTH NEEDS A PLOT, when you have Taylor Kitsch without his shirt? :D
good boys, they totally deserve me paying attention to this movie :D

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-25 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
** nods ** It totally deserves watching. For pretty sake!!!

[identity profile] the-reverand.livejournal.com 2007-11-26 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I was and still am pretty sure this had/has to be a terrible film, but a friend tried to convince me it was so awesome. Weird thing is, said friend is a straight male. How can this be when the movie's only redeeming quality, as you illustrate very well here, is that it is a total teengirl droolfest?

The guy watches Buffy, so I wasn't really surprised.

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-11-26 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)

This makes sense. Does he like "Matrix" too?

I can't even imagine what my dearest could say about "The Covenant". "Drivel" will be the start. But I learned not to take him to watch certain kinds of films. :D
