Givin' This A Little Pre-Halloween Bump 🧡

Givin' this a little pre-Halloween bump 🧡

"Let's play: Brad Dourif Bingo" including columns for Eyes, Gestures, Speech, Actions, and Roles. Things like frowny glare, priest, extremely precise diction, The Laugh, etc. plus a bonus for "scenery-chewing monologue". The board is a muted red, with black drippy effects.

Brad Dourif movie bingo! For your thirstwatch Halloween marathon.

Don't remember whether I came up with "Dourisms" or saw it somewhere else, but there are SO MANY and so few squares on a bingo board! Reducing them to tiny phrases is another challenge; I might do some follow-up posts with gifs illustrating each column. (Surely not an excuse to dig through the media pile again...)

What are your favorite little Brad flourishes?

** Updated: Now with more bondage!

Bahahahaha

...I put the protagonist guy in and it's so much better.

Still Brad standing up and glaring, but with a man in the foreground, looking straight ahead (to our left) as Joey Wyatt looms behind him. At the end of the gif, he does a cartoony "oh fuck" "hes hot" with bug eyes, terrified grimace, shock squiggles, blush lines, and all that.

Ouf, I had to actually draw someone I'm not attracted to... is this what they meant about suffering for one's art 😔

\/ More stills below \/

The average macho protagonist guy leans into frame. His brain lights up pink and says "OH FUCK" while Joey sparkles in the background

Joey still sparkling, while the detective's face has turned to shock and alarm, as his brain lights up pink and purple: "HE'S HOT" (with a heart for the O)

when bae is so beautiful you have to immediately TKO them on the pool table 🥵

slimeball bbgirl (rotoscope gif)

Joey Wyatt, Miami Vice petty slimeball, stands up to menace someone with a cool stare, which explodes into lazer beam eyes with pink hearts and sparkles

Still wringing every drop of creative energy from this Dourif fixation 💞

Tried my hand at rotoscoping this mesmerizing Miami Vice gif (from this set by @exdeputysonso):

The same, except it's the actual gif from the show (no pink sparkles or lazers), including the person he's staring at (a detective guy, the protagonist or something idk, who isn't meeting his gaze)

The scornful, slouchy staredown here really gets me thinking some special thoughts. And he's doing the thing where he gets all up in someone's face, eyes drilling into theirs from inches away — which by all reports is very truly menacing, but even so...

Then there's that beautifully sleazy little outfit with the shirt and chains... I'm so weak for a well-formed neck and décolletage. (The clothes they put him in really are second to none, including ridiculous loungewear and an iconic courtroom ensemble; see this other gifset for more)

There's an added air of threat from the tiny pupils, which really brings out the cold blue in his eyes, amped up by the matching shirt.

Dropping a few individual frames below the cut...

First fame: slouched over, looking up a bit at the investigator

Stood up all the way, head tilted back, now looking scornfully down his nose at the other guy

(He looks a bit cross-eyed because he's focusing on the guy's face like 6 inches away)

Thinkin about Pretty Boys with Huge Eyes and Chaos Energy 😱

Alexander Siddig, Hugh Laurie, Arsenio Hall: the holy trinity of mischievous side-eye

Alexander Siddig as Dr Julian Bashir, gazing off vaguely into the distance

Hugh Laurie, looking at you in bafflement with his chin resting on his fist

Arsenio Hall, looking up at you with a grin full of Schemes

Arsenio Hall, full mischief mode with a head tilt, giant smirk, and a sidelong glance at you. Also garish sparkly purple background

Hugh Laurie, a sprightly and vivacious young man with a cute little half-smirk

Alexander Siddig as Dr Julian Bashir, classic chaos imp side-eye with a grin that suggests it is, once again, Bad Ideas Time

I've been on a Brad Dourif hyperfixation for like six months now. The restorative power of staring at this one hot guy has somehow pulled me through a profound creative burnout.... and here are the results! (See #my bradrot for the latest)

🎧 prettyboy music videos

Supercut of hottie moments (Boys)

The X-Files (Shinigami Eyes)

Spontaneous Combustion (You Spin Me)

Death Machine (Wrecking Ball)

Scrungly feature analysis: Brad Dourif's eyes

Popping the headlights (a certain way directors light his eyes)

🎨 BD characters as classical art

Luther Lee Boggs, Brad Dourif's condemned murder-man in The X-Files, with toxic gas swirling around him, coverall around his waist, wrists bound up with a red cord.

Brad's character from Spontaneous Combustion, seated on a nuclear power plant cooling tower, unclothed but for some draped fabric. His hair is catching fire, as is a circle on his arm like burning paper; the right side of his face is darkened by smoke and soot, and limned in orange light from the flames, which also flicker in his eyes: the only color in the image. He wears a black armband and holds a glass pill bottle, from which a few white pills tumble. In the background are cable towers and a pocket watch dial.

Tucker Cleveland (from Graveyard Shift) stands facing left, holding aloft a very dead rat, with a blocky flashlight in his other hand. He's clad in boots, tighty-not-very-whities, black fingerless gloves, and some straps from his coverall (ooo yeah). The background is deep reds and shadows.

Two Tucker Clevelands; the top one (hand up, "no") says "shitty real life boyfriend", and the bottom (pointing, "yes") says "parasocial crush on a wide variety of horrible wet men played by legendary character actor brad dourif"

P.S.: I don't repost fundraisers and stuff here because this is my fun stupid side account. I do those things on main; this is more of a release valve. Big love to those doing the work on here, though.
