 Harrison did 3 separate things this week that on their own and especially put together almost killed me. I drooled a little while making the above gifset. I'm sorry. That beard is just killing me.

 It took all that I had not to participate in this. Cause if I did they would lock me up. FOREVER. In like an asylum or something.

Oh God, can you imagine Harrison sitting down to answer those questions? God forbid he scrolled through tumblr, though...especially mine.

Here are my fav answers:

Also imagine his reaction when he saw the nickname 'littlemagicbunny'.

People went nuts when he referred to Carrie as "mama". But here is by far my favorite reaction of tumblr user to this whole thing:

He made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show. I was shocked because I found out about this after it happened when I was scrolling my twitter feed at work. And then I saw it! And no one tweeted me for 12h that this happened! 

I want to marry that last gif. I'm always talking about how dope it would be to have a time machine to the 80s....but come on. Silver fox mode is absolutely delicious as well. He looks fantastic. Just absolutely fantastic.

It was so lovely to see how excited he is over new Indy movie!

I like Elizabeth Olsen even more now. 

Harrison also dropped by on Ellen's show on Tuesday. I am just loving how much fun he has doing all those interviews these days. His eyes are sparkling, he is cracking jokes, oh it's just terrific.

And this is so funny! 

Here is your another weekly fix of Tom Hardy.

Ok, gang. Let's talk about Daredevil season 2.

First of all - the dog. I was absolutely horrified when they threatened to torture him but then Punisher started talking and they let the dog go. Then Matt finally brings his ass to help and takes Punisher outside. Did these two just leave the dog there? I mean Punisher is monologuing next to that tombstone and I'm thinking where is the dog? What the hell happened?

That rooftop kill vs don't kill argument. I was rolling my eyes so hard at Matt. He is an idiot - he is sitting there, judging the Punisher for killing people and Punisher is all like yeah some people are evil and Matt - wait for it - goes that there is tiny bit of good in some of them. Well, shit Matt. I care so deeply that there is some good in rapists and pedophiles. That is such an excuse to let them live so they could continue spreading their evil and infecting others with it. Because what? Maybe they have a grandma and bring her flowers every weekend? What is this logic? The show is just so insanely naive - there was this whole episode in season 1 when after Foggy found out Matt is the masked man he kept talking how they should be using the law, how the law can help them etc. which as someone who actually is a lawyer I found even more laughable than those in the audience who aren't probably did. And then in the finale Foggy's flawed and childish logic was proven right when one witness was enough to take Fisk down and arrest all those powerful, wealthy people. Look no further than The Big Short to see how much freedom the money can buy. A lot of it. Actually - all of it.

Another thing is that Matt is straight up kicking people in the faces, bashing their heads against walls etc. he can cause injuries that will result in those people dying. And what if it happened, he would go 'woops', drink a beer and still continue to act like he has the moral high ground?

This whole 'no killing' thing is also in Batman but from what I heard Batman actually kills people in BvS which may prove to be the best contribution from this movie. I mean this whole idea that the ONLY thing separating these vigilantes from the bad guys is that they don't kill is just not true and utterly moronic.

I also had a bit of an issue with the show recycling plot elements from really terrible dross like Daredevil the movie or True Blood. As nicely done as that kissing in the rain scene was it just gave me horrible flashbacks to the movie. And the fact that Elektra showed up right after Matt finally took things to romantic level reminded me of that moment when Bill was happy with Sookie and then BAM! that psycho chick showed up.

OK I think that's enough complaining - I did love love love Jon Bernthal's performance as the Punisher. That was Joker's level of awesome where pretty much everything else is boring in comparison. I mean Matt's silly  philosophy, awful choices in women and general vanilla personality ain't great. Foggy is a nightmare for a cynic like me. Elektra wasn't well written and the actress wasn't the best. The Punisher as played by Bernthal was so good that I think not even Hardy, who I believe expressed interest in playing that character, would do a better job.

Jon Bernthal. Holy shit.

I am a huge Kastle shipper now. Look at that! I wrote about how much I love them in my hit me with your best shot post. Honestly I just hope they pursue this because that was the best thing in the show for me this season. Oh God I just loved how he kept calling her "ma'am". Tumblr is going nuts about them too. I almost stopped breathing when this happened:

I was astonished how brutal the show is but in a good way - I mean if the hero is a naive child at least bring the ass kicking. I gasped during episode 4 and drill to the foot and shotgun shot in the face moments. The fight scenes in the show are incredible especially that stairwell fight everyone have been shitting themselves over for an entire week now.

this whole Matt/Elektra thing....yeah so how does this vanilla altar boy exactly take up with exotic psycho? Or makes her interested in him? I didn't buy any of that. The sex scene in the ring was really well done and the actress playing Elektra definitely had enough allure but everything surrounding their subplot and that Yakuza subplot was just not interesting at all.

Fisk's scenes were terrific though. His scene with Matt was insanely intense. When you have scenes like this that Yakuza subplot looked even worse in comparison

so Charlie Coxhas said some stuff and I am just confused. I am not sure what story he is referring to when talking about Bullseye and Karen - I am aware of one famous moment from the comic books that I really hope won't be in the show. Actually I hope most of Karen's comic book story won't be in the show.

Have you guys seen what Dave Lettermanlooks like these days?!  

Look at that picture of Sansa. What are the moronic writers calling her? 'hardened woman'? Jesus...it's disgusting how much they highlighted the cleavage here. All the photoshop, to make them look bigger....This person does a great job highlighting how gross what is said in accompanying EW article is.

Perfect.

Also does Turner even have someone who would maybe prep her and explain some things she wants to say are just moronic? No, I don't think she does.

I'm not sure if I informed people here of it before - I know some of you keep up with Game of Thrones via my recaps/reviews because you - wisely - gave up on the show, but I'm done writing them. I'll probably ridicule the show in my RF on Fridays but other than...let me say this - I barely have any interest left to actually watch the show, let alone waste more time on it by writing lengthy posts about it. I'm done with that.

Playlist shitty 'journalism' strikes again. Just read what they wrote in regards to Stewart, then read the comment section which highlights their mistake.

The second The Nice Guys trailer dropped. I cannot wait for it! Gosling is fantastic in comedies and the fact he is screaming like a little girl made me laugh so hard.

The poster is hysterical. You know what I'm referring to.

So I mentioned last week how the early word on BvS seems to be positive. Oh man, was that early word far from critics' consensus. It is impressive however that Gal Gadot apparently managed to do something really good in that mess.

Still imdb board for the movie is the place to be this week. Gems include stuff like this -"Marvel gets Vincent D'Onofrio for a Netflix show and WB gets that fu_cking clown Eisenberg." and people wondering if Snyder is a Marvel agent sabotaging DC.

Here is my legitimate question - why would WB hire Zack Snyder to do the sequel given how Man of Steel turned out? I question why they even hired him to begin with but sure, they gave him a shot. The film did well money-wise but the reviews were mediocre, there wasn't much love there. I wouldn't question them getting Snyder to direct something less crucial but for the love of God, if I am not mistaken the budget for BvS is 250 mln and additional 150 spent on marketing. It's 400 mln dollars total. If this movie tanks thanks to bad reviews which mostly single out Snyder being responsible WB has no one to blame but themselves. I mean you don't give an incompetent person your most valued possession to handle.

 Here is Snyder's one sentence defense. Again I ask, how can anyone entrust that man with 400 million dollars? 

I feel bad for Ben Affleck. He looks devastated here. I bet he has flashbacks to the time he was a laughing stock. But actually quite a lot of people are calling him the best Batman yet so it seems that the failure of the movie is not on him at all. Also there is so much other gold in this video - Gadot sounds like she drinks 2 bottles of vodka a day - but man is that voice sexy. And the reporter straight up lying to Eisenberg that he is getting good reviews really made me laugh.

Bridget Jones' Babytrailer is here. It actually looks really great and fun, but what do I know I had good time watching the second one. The thing is though why the hell Hugh Grant didn't want to return? I mean his career is kinda in the crapper these days.

and finally Andrew stopped by and I am so grateful, brought his blog back. But he is still on a hiatus. But if you haven't yet, drop by to show him support! I really do have to say that this is such a fantastic, supportive and mature community we have here. It's just such a pleasure to be among you all.

Work has been awful this week - I had tons to do and my boss was literally nagging me about everything. I mean one time she made a mess in her office and somehow found a way to blame me for it. Also she would come into our office several times a day asking me to fix stuff. I figured fuck it and took 2 days off starting yesterday and since it's holiday on Monday it's also day off so I'm hoping to chill during those 5 days because honestly every time the door opens in our office I just get a panic attack thinking it's this person again. It's like The Devil Wears Prada only I am the only one in the really cool outfits. So this is totally me tonight: RELATED POSTS:
