The thing that strikes me about Gemma Arterton every time I see her is how ridiculously beautiful she is.  This really does a disservice to her other talents but it is in part because I have seen so little of her work.  Of course I saw Quantum of Solace when it came out but as much as I love Bond movies they do have a habit of blurring together in my memory.  But she is actually pretty good.  At least she was in Byzantium which I just watched.  It’s only the third thing I have ever seen her in.  Which is why my first thought is usually, “Wow, she is pretty”.  Because I kind of forget she exists a lot of the time because I have no connection to most of her work.  I liked Byzantium, it was pretty good.  I would have liked to see more about the misogynist vampires I think.  Or more of a battle with them.  Still, it was sold and she was fantastic in it though.  Also she was very, very pretty.  I don’t want her beauty to overshadow anything else but it is impossible to ignore it.  Today I want to fuck Gemma Arterton.
