  • Oh, would you look at that!
  • That is a photo of Mark for Variety's Oscar contenders series. So gorgeous!
  • Oh my good God.
  •  I rewatched Blindness. That is such a disgusting, offensive movie. That whole thing where bunch of women is getting raped because Julianne Moore won't stab a guy? Was she retarded? I bet this is Lars von Trier's favorite film - sexism, feces and ugliness everywhere. Since Mark was in that it was like looking at a flower in the middle of a dump. Thank God he was at least naked in that. Everything else sucked.
  • We have that roundtable at last!!!!! Here's the clip featuring that Fincher story:
  • So how is everyone's Christmas?
  • I ate Christmas food with my bare hands like an animal. Hey, I have two weeks off work. It's just eating, sleeping and watching a lot of movies. Oh God I hope when I'm on my vacation the place where I work burns down. I fucking hate it so much. 
  • Gustav has been enjoying Christmas too, doing his duty of being Santa like every year:
  •  I made that gifset of Gone Girl, using some of the book's phrases. It got a shitload of notes:
  • Everyone! It was beet juice! I knew Amy wouldn't waste wine like that!
  • Fincher is wrong on when the fear started, though. I'm pretty sure everyone already shat themselves during that scene with the hammer.
  • Here's first footage from Game of Thrones season 5. Can they give Cersei a new necklace already? This is ridiculous:
  • In the same Year ender video we got our first look at Hugh Laurie in Veep.
  • Also here's a photo from behind the scenes ----->
  • That's Ollie from The Thick of It! Is he gonna appear on Veep? Cause that would be awesome! I know he is the producer but they are really wasting his talents by not having him on the show. They should bring in Glenn too he is my soul mate!
  • As for the movies I've seen this week, equally terrible as Blidness, although probably moreso because it didn't have Mark in it, was The Riot Club. Not only was it boring, I was hoping that every single character there - save for wonderful Natalie Dormer stealing the show - would get brutally slaughtered by the end of it. I hate spoiled people the most so that was awful to sit through, but had it been somewhat interesting at least it would be redeemable. It was just shitty. What a waste of Tom Hollander and Natalie. 
  • Another thing with this movie - you see this is why I don't find young guys attractive. They have this sense of entitlement to them. Another thing is that one of them got mugged and acted like a little bitch. Oh my god, where are all the men?!
  • We live in a truly idiotic world. After Sony said that the Interview is getting released some people actually started claiming this is all a marketing stunt. My Goodness what a stunt it is! Threatening starting cyber war and getting the president of USA to lie to general public over a movie. The only thing crazier that this whole thing is thinking that Sony 1. embarrassed themselves 2. allowed a bunch of e-mails insulting A listers to leak 3. lost the revenue because of leaked movies on purpose. Look at the stuff that happened - cyber attack on a massive scale that was more harmful to Sony than any revenues that this movie can possibly bring, them actually needing to make changes to their precious Bond script because it got stolen, an unknown cyber attack on Korea, that could have been American (although depriving them of Internet is kinda like depriving a bald guy of a hair brush) and the international tension which also might have resulted in the attack on Southern Korean nuclear plant. And you are actually gonna write/tweet/post that you think this is a marketing move?
  • I saw the movie last night and fuck you, it was funny! Franco was so good here, he wasn't in character as deep as this since Pineapple Express. There were so many fun surprises - Jonah from Veep, Jean Ralphio, that Eminem scene, Rob Lowe, that McConaughey line, the soundtrack was bitchin' and the dog survived! I'm gonna review the film soon. 
  • Seriously that dog was so cute. It was also in the most badass shot of any movie in 2014.
  • Even though the freedom of expression finally won we had some bad news this week.
  • First one was the news that Joe Cocker passed away. I love his music. And that is what it is - actual music. Nowadays it's just Taylor Swift and more garbage like that. Seriously I almost exclusively listen to movie music and Lana and whenever I feel 'I'm gonna check some new music" and I do that I'm just appalled. It's just noise. Cocker gave us timeless songs. Here is my favorite one:
  • Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burtonsplit up. This is awful. I spent so much time at work going through divorce cases and then even those couples that seem so perfect for each other and have everything they can possibly wish for, split up. I only have Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman left. But there is nothing breaking them up. They once did it in front of a deer and it nodded approvingly.
  • I know things were slow on the site lately. I have few emergency drafts of reviews in case it gets so bad there won't even be time for RF. But I am working on my massive Gone Girl list, hopefully I'll publish that next week and there is always that blogathon where all I need to do is just post the rules and announce it.
