Spike and Tara

Aug 08 2007 04:29 pm   #1SpikeHot

Why is it so popular? Watching the show I never noticed them interact other than in Older and Far Away, they didn't even share a scene together.

They also interacted in "Family", and Spike definitely observed her, as it was his habit to notice everything.

As for romance, it's popular more because of who the characters are, not what they did on screen. Tara is one of the few 'verse characters that could love Spike like he should be, like anyone deserves, and she was never overly judgmental of him. She also parallels him in being like William with her shyness and awkwardness, and through another's attention, grew beyond that to stand up for herself and what she believed in. And, Amber's gorgeous, and if you see "Chance", she and James have great chemistry.

Ita with Caro Mio...it's really because we love Spike and want someone NICE who would treat  him right and love him and Tara was one character who would be able to accept him for who he was.

As for JM's chemistry....that boy has chemistry with a DOOR (just remember the hot scene with the crypt door and argue the point!).  That makes it easy to ship him with just about any female OR male.

A door, a clipboard.....

He and Amber share a HOT kiss in "Chance", though. Wow!

Does anyone know where a person can get that movie?

IMHO, Spike can be successfully paired with virtually any of the female characters.  Some just have more longevity than others.  Tara does appeal to the William side of Spike, and I think he could have brought her out of her shell (maybe even more so than Willow).  Speaking of, Willow seemed to be the most accepting Scooby Spike without question, always encouraging him and so forth (like when he tries to bite her, when he tries to kill himself, and during his scavenging hunt in the junk yard).  Obviously Anya, Joyce, Faith, Fred, Dawn... though I really don't see Cordelia.

I really don't see him paired sexually with any guy, unless it's Angel(us).

And yeah... where can I get or download that movie?

They had a site, where you purchase a poster, but you're actually getting the movie, since they didn't have a distribution deal....it's a thing. If you look for an Amber Benson site, I'm sure you'll find a link. She wrote, directed, and produced the movie, and it also has Andy Hallet.

if you use bit torrent then google Chance torrent.

Jojo, mentioned on another thread that I had the torrent and people stopped seeding it... only made it to like 76%...

Yo Blood- this guy on you tube posted the film in segments, apparently, here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xJ0SyDtCB8g

Yeah, thanks. That was a strange "movie." Hell, but I'm not complaining, since JM was so completely hot. Oh my. Gotta watch that again. He was so adorable as a telemarketer, lol.

No problem, guys :D 

And say... do any of you know anything about this convention coming up in Chicago in November, or where I can find info about it?

Make sure nothing is missing form them segments on Youtube, i noticed it was on there before aswell, but its usually something missing when people do it like that on youtube. Add the minutes of the clips together.

Yeah blood fairie therse been like 3 Chance torrents that this one person has been uploading on thepiratebay and the persons just discontinued seeding them at 75%. Usually though therse 5-100 diffrent torrents on the same thing on the web, just not many James fans who bother seeding them anymore.

Thanks again, E.

My friend downloaded the whole thing for me, and hopefully she'll send it soon so I don't even have to go through all that stuff with the youtube business.  But thanks JoJo. 

Blood, if she sends it to me, I'll send it to you :)

Scarlet, if you get it, can you send it to me, too? I've debated with myself about buying it... but $40 is a lot to pay for a DVD, even if it comes with a poster.

I found it on Ebay; got an autographed pic of AB (GOD, wish it was JM!); it was such a good movie; I laughed out loud in parts; JM was so adorable in the scene on the park bench; couldn't you just eat him with a spoon!?!

Gosh, this movie's adorable :) i love it so far!!! JM is such a cutie in this, everybody should check it out...and their chemistry is incredible...this is really good for an independent, low budget sort of deal :)

Aug 12 2007 11:26 pm   #23pfeifferpack

Okay...proof of the hotness that is JM....the scene where he kisses the mirror was even hot.  He should bottle whatever he has going on.  LOL

Love the scenes with Andy too....too cute.

 Is the actor who plays the gay chap, the same as the one who plays Lorne on Angel?

ETA: Nevermind...yes he is.
