Johnny wallpaper a la Blake

[permetaform]

_{::whispers:: fucking creeped out fucking creeped out fucking creeped out}

meep.

I can't stare at this any more because I am *so* close to spazzing. And I don't even know why, it's not even *bloody* fer crying out loud but.

yeah.

William Blake. Johnny Depp as Dean Corso ('Ninth Gate').

What did you DO???

What ever it is...you did it right!!!

Wow. *is speechless*

[permetaform]

thank you! glad you like! I was kinda worried about this one because I mixed up the style a bit, and also just couldn't stare at it anymore without wanting to run screaming from the room so I'm very glad it worked...

*speechless. And breathless*

Wonderfully dark and creepy. Love the way you've used the Blake imagery.

Have you seen the film? (Because I haven't and I've heard mixed reviews.)

[permetaform]

nope, haven't seen the film yet, so am very confused why I'm creeped out. I've heard mixed reviews too, but it was along the lines of "the movie sucked hard but Johnny Depp was pretty neat".

You craft the most lovely wallpapers! You've captured the dark atmosphere of the movie so perfectly, it's creeping me out a bit too. :o

[permetaform]

thank you! and no, I haven't seen the movie yet which is why I'm so confused as to why it was creeping me out so much...

As I was walking among the fires of hell, delighted with the
enjoyments of Genius; which to Angels look like torment and
insanity. I collected some of their Proverbs: thinking that as
the sayings used in a nation, mark its character, so the Proverbs
of Hell, shew the nature of Infernal wisdom better than any
description of buildings or garments.

Cruelty has a human heart,
And Jealousy a human face;
Terror the human form divine,
And Secresy the human dress.

A tribute to the man himself and your wallpaper as well, but perhaps darker than you'd like.

[permetaform]

oooo, I like! is very fitting, and thank you!

[tacks.livejournal.com]

Oh god.

That is absolutely gorgeous.

And scarily fitting, since it was on last night and I watched it. :D

[permetaform]

::hug:: glad you like! and yeah

And scarily fitting, since it was on last night and I watched it.

universal overmind I call it.

or we all could just be similarily obsessed with the Johnny...

[viva-gloria.livejournal.com]

That is very cool wallpaper ... though I have to say I really didn't like the character of Corso. (Wonderful acting, though. And sex scenes. Mmmm.)

Film is weird and flawed, but I liked it: there are some truly iconic scenes. Worth checking out!

[permetaform]

thank you! and yeah, sex scenes you say? I'll definately be sure to keep an eye out in the video rental stores now...

[azziria.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Really looking forward to seeing this now!

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

OMG! I adore it! And it totally fits with the mood of 9th Gate. Even the colours fit.

Dean Corso is my favourite Johnny character, which seems a bizarre thing to say given Sands and Sparrow and Blake from Dead Man, but I'm such a huge fan of the avarice and the overcoat and the canvas bag.

I love 9th gate. I also love this (creepy) wallpaper!

[permetaform]

yay! you like! success! and I'm so glad I caught the mood right because I hadn't seen it myself and whew ::wipes head:: so glad everything seems to have worked...

[elefwin.livejournal.com]

o. my. goodness.
it's just too good for words.
the Hell. the genius. the books. the Johnny...
...and Blake.
I love you.
[am I the only one *not* creeped out by this?..]

[permetaform]

thank you! and yes, the Johnny...::sigh::

unfortunately I get too creeped out to use it, partly because I was stuffing so much subtext into it and unerringly staring at the creepy bits, what with the triple crucifixes and merging with the walls and the silhouettes and Beelzebub floating in black space and god imprinted on Corso's forehead like a woodcut...::shudders and closes window::

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

I looked at this for about half a second before setting it as my desktop wallpaper. Beautiful. I'm gonna space out in front of my computer like, all the time now.

[permetaform]

hee! glad you like it though I must beg apologies for the spacing out.

or just blame the Johnny. ::grin::

[winter]

*sighs* You do know you're making me change my desktop wallpaper all too often?

Doesn't help that I've recently read the book (Club Dumas), so now in addition to a maniacally giggling Sands I now also have a Corso with his "cute bunny" grin (honest to gods, that line was in the book) wanting me to write something about him...

[permetaform]

*sighs* You do know you're making me change my desktop wallpaper all too often?

aheh...well, it was a week's space before I posted the slashy OUaTiM one...

and huh? canonical "cute bunny smiles"??

::blinks:: must look into this...

[rokeon.livejournal.com]

Woah.

Oooooooohhh.

[permetaform]

heee! glad you like...

[onibasu.livejournal.com]

must. watch. movie. *__________*

[permetaform]

yes! join in the Johnnymadness! ::grins::

[aea]

Wow. I love it, especially the text through his face. A little Silence of the Lambs.

[permetaform]

thank you!

[maymorning.livejournal.com]

I saw "Ninth Gate" ages ago. I can't remember it exactly, but I seem to remember that Mr Depp was great as always. Must watch it again. I didn't find your beautiful wallpaper at all creepy, but then I'm a long term devotee of horror and scary things! I've been watching them since Noah were a lad! :-) Great wallpaper as always.

[permetaform]

thank you! and yes, SO going to splurge on dvds come xmas

[copper-rose.livejournal.com]

Very nice...9th Gate is one of my top five Johnny movies. (Can't have just one, not with this man!)

Speaking of which, would adore you forever if you could do a Dead Man one sometime...that movie ranks even higher in my book, odd though it is. I assume you've seen it? Johnny plays a man NAMED William Blake in it and there is more of his poetry in the movie and on the soundtrack. Johnny reads the poetry on the soundtrack, so that's a two for one!

[permetaform]

nope, hadn't seen either movie actually, but plan to go on a marathon once winter break hits. I'll browse Dean Man pics then...And Johnny reading poetry? ooooooooo. Have you heard the one where he reads Madroad Driving? sogood.

wow

[sticckler.livejournal.com]

I have been putting your backgrounds on all the computers in the school library. :)

Corso. I love Corso. I think its the glasses.

Re: wow

[permetaform]

hee! spread the Johnnylove! it's all good...

[sithjawa.livejournal.com]

Just watched 9th Gate, so now I can say that I find this creepier than the actual movie. It has this scary obsessive feel. Very cool.

[permetaform]

It has this scary obsessive feel.

Success! ::hug!::
