#hot monks
Guys, imma stop trolling you with Satan’s Alley, I promise, but just one more. (I can’t promise to stop trolling you with monks, on the other hand.) But seriously, did you know there’s fanart for this? This. This movie that never existed. This movie that never existed has more fandom than War and Peace. OrNinety-Three. Or any of those other awesome novels for which I’ve recently complained about the lack of fandom. Fucking Satan’s Alley. Are you kidding me, people??? Not that I’m complaining about, you know, monk porn fanart, but, really? Really??? Okay, fine, it’s Robert Downey Jr./Tobey Maguire monk porn, but still, really? This totally proves my theory that hot guys dressed like monks can make even such a shallow mistress as pop culture get down with monks. Butreally???? Satan’s-fucking-Alley???
Okay, fine, I see your point. Bring it on, bring on the hot monk porn. I can take it, I promise.

Hm, thanks for the heads-up, will have to go check out the situation there. There’s this thing about medievalists (or maybe it’s just me), but we sometimes feel like we have to act too cool for school when it comes to anything that purports to be from our period and happens to hit it big in pop culture. So my mom being all like ‘you study medieval churchy stuff, you should read Pillars of the Earth!’ meant I definitely wasn’t ever going to read Pillars of the Earth. Or watch the adaptation. So maybe I’m missing out on a few cute clerical types, but hey. My list was not, after all, exhaustive. For instance, I seem to also remember a kinda cute monk in the film version of “Becket,” and I’m sure I’m forgetting others.
…………..Okay, looked up this so-called Brother Philip. Definitely passable, definitely promising. ;) But now I find myself perplexed as to why there are monks in this at all. Is it not about building a cathedral? I figured they’d all be lay clergy (priests/bishops/canons and such), not monks.
Oh man, I just realized the hot monk movie I want is probably something like this. Fuck. This might not be such a good idea after all……………or it could be the best idea ever. XD
