I've been rewatching Archer and I finally reached season 5 and 6! Who among you watches the show? It's the funniest thing on TV and you gotta admire the attention of detail there - so many running gags, all of them so funny. I really hope we see Babou soon, he wasn't back since season 3!Also I never knew about ocelots before the show. They are so cute!
Rouge Nation was awesome! Rebecca Ferguson totally stole show. She reminded me a lot of Ruth Wilson with her looks and charisma. She was the best thing about the film but it was also very enjoyable thanks to the great action scenes. No, but seriously, that woman:
I legit gasped when that moment happened. This is what happens when after years of seeing unrealistic female characters in action movies we get to witness actual woman kicking ass. Angelina Jolie as action star? Give me a break, that chick can barely stand up. Here is a proper woman. Tom Cruise really has a good eye - apparently he spotted Rebecca in The White Queen and liked her work so much he gave her the part. She is currently my win for Best Supporting Actress and I'd be surprised if she leaves top 5 before the end of the year.
You know what I loved? How she used her tighs in fight. I haven't seen that since Famke Janssen in Goldeneye and Kathleen Turner in War of the Roses. I enjoyed seeing that because let me tell you my tighs could definitely suffocate a guy.
I'm not gonna do a review for this one because it would just be me going gay for her character.
I also saw What we Do in the Shadows and it was so funny. I lost it when Viago bit this chick and hit the artery. He was the best in the gang.
We have a new Crimson Peak poster which is infinetly better than previous posters.
There's a new trailer for Sicario which is really cool, in spite of a bit odd song choice
What didn't work for me at all what The Hateful Eight trailer. While watching it I felt as if I was watching a comedy sketch where not a single joke actually landed and made me laugh. Hopefully the film is good and it's just the trailer that is, to put it mildly, bad.
So here I am freaking out that there is only 4 months left in the year and my Best and Worst post is still just a draft (Spoiler alert - at the moment Fury Road has 22 wins for 45 positive categories) but you know who is being chased by time more? Get this:
Earlier this week the news was out that The Revenant wrapped up. Well, the news turned out to be premature as the film is still missing the ending which they are about to shoot in Argentina. Every day Inarittu remains unmurdered I'm simply stunned.
Horrible, horrible news - beloved and adorable Uggie was put to sleep at the age 13. I almost cried when I found out. It's just so awful, why do things like diseases and death happen to dogs? They are the most wonderful, innocent creatures. Jean Dujardin and Reese Witherspoonpaid homage to Uggie. I suppose we should be grateful he had a good - and long (apparently 13 dog years is 100 years for a human) life. As you know my awards have a special place for Uggie - the annual award for best dog in films is named after him. And the Academy better pays tribute to him in In Memoriam! Rest in Peace, adorable sweetie. Heaven has new angel now.
My mother was upset by the news too - she is also, just like me, upset whenever something happens to a dog, also we saw The Artist together. Needless to say Gustav has been getting more toys and treats than usual this week. He is the most spoiled dog in our neighborhood. They even let him into the stores and the clerks actually leave their posts to pet him.
Seriously, gods, why do you allow anything bad and painful to happen to these creatures? The only theory I have is that the dogs have so much love to give they couldn't possibly live as long as humans do because we are not worthy of this love.
It's time to start drinking heavily - it's only August and Redmayneis already whoring himself to get another Oscar. I suspect he is gonna start chasing Jenner now, in hopes of a selfie with her.
I thought Natalie Dormer was smart. What a shock to discover she is an idiot. I guess years of hanging around Sophie Turner and Jennifer Lawrence finally had its effects. I wish her quick ending to your career which started with her flashingher boobs and hopefully ends with her smirking her way through Thrones until they finally off your character.
Speaking of Thrones, Walder Frey is gonna be in season 6. If they don't do Stoneheart it will be - and I'm completely serious here - the biggest failure when it comes to adapting books in history.
HBO has the opportunity here. The opportunity to have the best twist in history of their network.
But it also has the opportunity to make my other dream come true - apparently there are talks of doing Deadwood movie. I'm just over the moon about that news. I love that show so much. I'm gonna do a rewatch soon. If I were to go on a desert island and I were to bring two things I'd bring the entire series of The Thick of It and this. It's that good.
Back to JLaw - from latest issue of EW this is what she said about working with O. Russell - “I always see the wide eyes of people who’ve never worked with him before. I tell them, ‘You have to let go of all your sh-t. You are the paint. He’s the paintbrush and the canvas". Oh my God. How deep. I think shit - plunger - toilet comparison would be better.
You know FOX should have just canceled that Fantastic Four movie and release behind the scenes documentary.
Exciting news about upcoming season of American Horror Story - we finally got first info about the characters but the best part is that not only Lily Rabe is returning but she is set to play Aileen Wuornos! Yes, the same one that Charlize Theron played in Monster.
Lana Del Rey's new video is out and it is literally explosive!
I'm dying for a new album. All I listen to is her old stuff and "Brothers in Arms" from Mad Max soundtrack. Seriously.
I haven't found the time to catch up on Hannibal in 2 weeks now. Yet again, I'll just wait and binge 3 episodes tomorrow. However thanks to tumblr I saw these visuals from the last episode:
Whoever pulled the plug on this show over at NBC will burn in hell. This is just beyond gorgeous.
I finished Girl on a Train - I gave it 7/10 - it was good and I only guessed the twist 2 chapters before it was revealed who the killer was. Overall I recommend the book and I hope the movie will happen because the material is very cinematic.
Now I'm reading the book which I already like even more - Luckiest Girl Alive. Let me come clear here - the way I find out about these books is that I read on a movie news site that the adaptation is in the works. These news usually have a snippet about what this particular book is about and when I go "oh, that sounds interesting" and if it appears the book is some sort of thriller with a twist, I will read it for sure. I will devour it because I'm dying to find out what that fucking twist is. So this one is gonna be a movie too, and much like with Gone Girl, Reese Witherspoon bought the rights to the adaptation. I've read 1/5 of the book so far and it is excellent. It goes back and forth between the life of a girl in present time - who is super successful, rich and does her best to be skinny and is preparing her wedding to a rich guy - and her time at posh school when she was fourteen and something horrible has happened. The book reminds me a bit of American Psycho with detailed descriptions of food and clothes and of Gone Girl thanks to the fact it's told in first person and we know all about the heroine who is also very deceptive and manipulative.
So anyways in this book the main character eats a spoonful of organic peanut butter and is size 4. Few days back I read about Beyonce's diet who apparently eats some sort of salad "if she wants to go crazy and eat whatever she wants". Jesus Christ! I'm size 10 (going by UK sizes). If I were to live on a salad and a spoon of peanut butter I'd die. Also I wouldn't be able to work or function. How do people like these actually live? How do you perform at work if you are hungry as fuck? I don't think anyone I know is size 4. I think this one girl I know is size 6 but only because she is on some sort of diet for health reasons. Yeah I'm sure it's nice to have a tigh gap so that you don't have friction burns when you walk in hot weather and it's nice to have all the jeans fit you but why do women torture themselves like this? To get a rich husband? Isn't it better to like...eat what you want, study and have your own money? Also really do men want to be with a woman who can poke their eye out with her bony elbow? I saw Margot Robbie and Sophie Turner being called "curvy" few times. This ain't curvy, for the love of God. Christina Hendricks is curvy. These girls probably weight their lettuce.
