It's my birthday. 26th. I'm spending it Swanson style - whiskey, movie and to sprinkle with just enough of my kookiness since I don't like sweet things instead of my birthday cake I'm having my birthday pizza.

God, I'm so old. I should probably freeze my eggs or something.

To give myself a final treat I dyed my hair new color - dark at the roots and blonde at the ends. And today after I came home Gustav was wearing a gigantic celebration bow!

This week twitter exploded with outrage. Seriously, I saw angry tweets about this topic every few seconds the topic being that the writer of the next James Bond book said Idris Elba is .... "too street" to play Bond.

...

WHAT THE FUCK?!

And this isn't even the most ridiculous news this week.

No, friends. The most ridiculous news is that Terminator Genisys made more money worldwide than Mad Max: Fury Road.

For shame, world. For shame.

Would you look at that first poster for Spectre? I mean...what the shit is that?

Next to that we have new AHS poster depicting a variation of what we will see in the show and is that demon with that dildo drill thing or whatever. It looks...interesting.

Redmayne. You bitch. That Danish Girltrailer. It is shaping up to be one of the most shameless Oscar baits I've seen - Redmayne with the look on his face like he just saw that 2 Oscar on horizon, Vikander with her ridiculous "nominate me!" tears, that whole sentimental music crapfest,... For the love of God, don't give this people any Oscars

So Venice film festival! We officially began the Oscar season. We have a flood of reviews for highly anticipated movies and the trend is that Variety raves and THR writes snarky, purposefully mean "reviews". The case of Legend illustrates it best. Hardy is both getting compared to Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers in one and slammed with "one of his worst performances in the other. Also apparently Depp is very good in Black Mass, but the movie is not as good as his performance. The best reviews, at least out of those I read, went to Beasts of no Nation, again with that street beast Elba. The film really looks fantastic so it's great for us it's gonna hit VOD soon. There's also an intense new trailer.

We got our first trailer for The Lobster which looks incredibly unique and fun

Tom Hardy and his wife Charlotte - along with Tom's dog Woody - attended Legend premiere this week

This is just adorable:

And this:

What's more adorable is that Charlotte is pregnant! Tom Hardy's genes are spreading....oh that is beautiful. Look at Tom just touching her continuously:

Yep. I've got nothing.

I did mange to see Queen of Earth this week. I have a great review ready - it's deep, insightful and personal. But I cannot publish it yet because I cannot decipher that ending. Usually it's just that I'm not sure but I have some theory about a confusing scene, that i believe enough to actually share it. But here? I've got nothing.

I also saw Tale of Tales. It was so incredibly bizarre - Italians have some seriously fucked up fairy tales. The film was very uneven and way too long but it had some amazing performances - especially Shirley Handerson who currently makes my best supporting actress line up
