So Tom Hardy - the journalist's biggest nightmare. This whole press conference is a laugh riot. He says he won't discuss the Revenant because it's not the time to discuss The Revenant but you just know he won't be there for the promo thing of that one, unless there are snipers ready to take out those who dare ask any questions about that Inarittu/Hardy feud
What is astounding is that now some people - including this reporter who works, and hopefully not for long, for Time - are taking shots at Hardy. Just look at that article - the first line? How the hell is it relevant to his work what his sexuality is? Later in the 'article' the author implies Hardy is being homophobic. No, what is being homophobic is implying that actor's sexuality is in any way relevant to actor's craft. There are so many men out there afraid to come out because they worry people won't buy them as romantic leads in male/female romantic pairings on screen anymore. And this kind of stupid statement, from Time no less, reaffirms that belief. I thought it was a prestigious newspaper but honestly when I opened the link my first thought was I was reading a piece from Jezebel.
The dog just didn't want to leave during last week's Chatty Man:
That's a smart dog.
I've been making A LOT of Mad Max edits. Here's the ladies. the soundtrack and I even made 2 with Max/Furiosa and lyrics to Nine Inch Nails songs (I'm so brilliant)
It looks like the big awards contenders are flopping left and right - The Danish Girl has several rotten reviews, Our Brand is Crisis underperformed, Suffragette is, apparently, crap. In fact the only movies that seem to be getting praise are Carol - still some say it's too polished, Steve Jobs - some say it's admirable but not the kind of a movie one loves - and Spotlight, which is probably getting the best reviews out of all. I Saw the Light flopped massively so I think it's safe to say Tom Hiddleston won't be getting any big nominations any time soon.
The person people are starting to predict is Johnny Depp in Black Mass. I just don't see him being nominated but maybe it's wishful thinking. I mean he already has too many nominations - what the hell was he nominated for when it comes to his performance in Finding Neverland?! - he has been putting the same lazy, cashing in the check crap out there for years and honestly, is there really no one else to nominate? I'm probably being unfair, I haven't seen the movie, Depp looks intense in the part, he is getting good reviews. But it's still Depp hiding behind make up. Remember in the 90's? How he was capable of being good without resorting to trickery? Don Juan DeMarco (hugely underrated movie btw)? What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
This man left his dogs in Australia and now he is doing Dior commercials which make me laugh so hard I feel I may suffocate whenever I see them. Just....don't nominate him.
It is actually looking like a weak year when it comes to male actors - look who is getting nominated - your standard gets in for playing real person nominations - Fassbender, Redmayne (vomits) possibly Depp - and your standard DiCaprio goes all out because it's madness nomination. There isn't even really a good candidate for 5th one. And with actresses it's a whole different story with Blanchetthaving two films in the race, Bullock and Mulligan probably getting in based on previous Academy love. Then there is Brie Larson, but her movie's distributor is A24. So she is as doomed as my chances of seeing The Witch this year.
Two films that kinda got mixed response - High-Rise and The Dressmaker look very interesting.
Hey, how does a drivel like this qualifies as a review?
One actor feud we had was Paul Bettany saying really douchy thing about Jason Statham. Statham was great in Spy and his early Ritchie films and he is so good at his action thing. Not everyone needs to be a serious drama actor. Bettany, while great in Ultron, is coming off as a huge *beep* I hate when actors criticize other actors for absolutely no reason. And if it wasn't for Ultron Bettany wouldn't be relevant at all. Awful behavior on his part.
Another feud and big surprise - turns out Richard Madden is kinda an asshole. He took shots at Cara Delevingne for being unprofessional, which is big talk from someone whose biggest movie cred is the outline of his dick being visible in a Disney movie, and now he is backing out. So he went after young actress, just starting in the business and then he apologized on twitter? Douche.
Uncle Geoffrey from Bridget Jones is gonna play Randyll Tarly.
Yep, the perv is gonna be Sam's strict and terrible father. This makes me think there is a very good chance Ian McShane is playing septon Meribald, who has one of the most amazing speeches in the entire series. But in the hands of these writers? It will be butchered beyond recognition.
Judging by all the talk and excitement, which I don't really pay attention to, the Emmys are coming? A bunch of people are predicting Thrones to win for best drama. I bet they will. It's perfectly in alignment with Emmys logic to award this show for the worst season it had. Embarrassingly awful, insultingly bad season.
