(64) Girl, Interrupted + links

So my exams - I think I did really well on Monday, I wrote the essays and kinda answered the question + remembered one of 50 verdicts I was supposed to learn by heart - we were supposed to write about that single one he gave us on the exam. So I'm hoping I passed it. Today I passed my Theory and philosophy of law exam - it was crazy, the dude basically kept asking questions that were more and more confusing - he kept bugging me about one word for about 2 minutes. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get 2/3 of the questions I knew answers to. I stayed up and studied the whole night before in order to repeat every single one of 120 terms, which was basically reading the same thing over and over again. I went all Girl, Interrupted walking around the room and repeating them out loud. Now I'm actually into my 34th hour without sleeping. After the week I had, I'm kinda used to that, actually.

As you probably noticed things are a bit more colorful on cinematic corner- I added some red and green here and there, mostly because Valentine's Day is approaching so there will be a very special post for that.

SAG ceremony was pretty cool. Unfortunately, my favorite people to observe during those things - Tommy Lee Jones and Joaquin Phoenix - were not there, but still plenty of awesome things happened. Modern Family won the 3rd consecutive award for comedy ensemble and Bryan Cranston finally won over overrated Damien Lewis! I think Cranston's performance is, right after Ian McShane's work in Deadwood, the best performance in TV history. He is also the only person who deserved the win for Argo which won for ensemble. I was thrilled Lawrence won over Chastain - J.Law looked genuinely moved and it was so sweet to see how proud her parents were. Marion Cotillard's reaction to her win was the best part of the ceremony - she seemed so happy for her! Now that's a classy lady right there.

Anne Hathaway was cringe worthy talking about having dental and hugging Sally Field. Alec Baldwin winning what was it? 8th award in the row? Ridiculous. He is funny but you gotta be kidding. Any of Modern Family guys deserved that win more. And how dare you show the clips of fabulous Lee Pace when you didn't even include him in ensemble nomination? He is soooo....dreamy on these two new stills that resurfaced.

I only saw one movie this week - Dredd. It was really cool, actually. Entertaining, fast paced and it had plenty of lovely slow motion sequences and gore and we need more gore in movies nowadays, especially since everything is being cut down to PG-13 rating. I'm gonna see Life of Pi this weekend and hopefully I'll find the time to rewatch Skyfall and start working on new Visual Parallels post soon.

Man of Steelis one of the most brilliantly cast films of the year. We finally got the first picture of Lois Lane played by the lovely Amy Adams. No idea why the picture was released in black and white, though.

Charlotte Ramplingis going to guest star on 8th season of Dexter. I suppose it's now the time for me to catch up with the show because I definitely have to witness that.

More problems with The Girl who played with Fire - after Skyfall success Daniel Craig wants a raise and now Sony is thinking of writing off his character. This is getting ridiculous. Just get your shit together, all of you, and start working on this movie.

Wonderful Eva Green was cast as Ava Lord in Sin City sequel. This is just brilliant. The film will be based on A Dame to Kill For which is a really cool story and no worries - if they follow it, you will still get to see Clive Owen as Dwight by the end of it (because Dwight has his old face here he will be played by Josh Brolin)

I kinda wish they also made Sin City film based on To Hell and Back mostly because of Delia. How wonderful would Charlize Theron be in this part? Delia is an assassin who kills men after sleeping with them - I'd pay so much to see that. Theron was actually just cast in Seth MacFarlane comedy - something about cowboys. I blacked out after imagining Theron in cowgirl attire so I don't know more details.

The first teaser for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is going to be released in May. This is torture. Don't they realize it's the only movie with Lee I'm getting this year? Lee can you just record something at home and upload it on youtube in meantime? You know, shirtless, or something?

New photos from season 3 of Game of Thrones emerged - I can't wait! I mean I'm excited when American Horror Story is on air but I really can't wait till Sunday whenever those glorious 2 months during which we have Game of Thrones are happening.
