Thoughts

I'm on a movie-watching high and it feels great bitchezzz! Yeah I think this will result in a jinx and a loss of followers. Moving on.


1) I WANT TO WATCH THE WOMAN IN BLACK! JKNCHSJRFMJCFRKJDFJD!! My Daniel Radcliffe!!! Ebert didn't like him much and though I agree on the part that he does not look like a father and husband in any way, he is still good. I know it.

2) After the wonderfully youthful and unique Submarine, Richard Ayoade will be directing The Double, which is based on a Fyodor Dostoyevsky novella. It will star Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska and is about a man who meets his doppelganger and is driven mad by this discovery. I love the cast, I love the director, I love the idea; I think it will be suffice to say that I will be majorly looking forward to this, whenever it comes out.


3) Emma Watson is reuniting with Harry Potter-director David Yates for the drama Your Voice in My Head in which she will play a suicidal young woman saved by a dying psychiatrist. I'm sorry but this sounds like a huge misstep by both Watson and Yates. As much as I love her, I don't think she has the acting chops for such a role, and even though I get that he wants to do something smaller after the massive Harry Potter films, Yates is going too soon into the overly sentimental and depressing territory. I hate the story and it just looks a bit desperate for both of them. Also if Tom Hanks really is cast as the psychiatrist (the studios want him or George Clooney), it will  make everything that much more weepy.


4) This week I finally saw the original Star Wars trilogy (yes, yes I know that I live under a rock) and I have written down a lot of thoughts while viewing them. I swear to write a post on this. Just one thing- what's the deal with the episodes? Why does it start with the fourth one? Why not just make it episode 1? I tried reading up on this on Wikipedia, but couldn't because there were too many words and nerdiness and whatnot. Help.


5) Due to the soul-crushing boredom of my endless existence (I just saw Withnail and I), I joined Twitter this week and the film blogging community has been very sweet and kind and welcoming. Thanks everyone :)


6) Trailers: Henry Cavill is an idiot in The Cold Light of Day when he doesn't seem to realise that his father, BRUCE WILLIS, is in fact a CIA agent and then he gets into shit in Spain and blah blah. Who knows the ending to this movie?! (A: Everyone). Why even bother; I'll see Man of Steel for Cavill. A very imaginative and novel PSA in the form of the next film's trailer- 7500. This is why you don't use electronics in airplanes, kids. Finally, a film I will actually watch- The Hunger Games. It doesn't really show much more than the previous trailer, but I do love Elizabeth Banks's look so much and Stanley Tucci's hair is crazy.


7) Humans. This.
I'm not ashamed to say that I am really really attracted to him.
Very soon Martin Freeman will get one of these t-shirts.

Toodles.

  1. Mia Wasikowska is really big on classic novels' adaptations isn't she? I love that girl. Freeman will totally get one saying " I won a BAFTA. I'm not over it. "

  2. Great news this week! First of all, the new film with Mia and Jesse sounds fantastic, I can't wait to hear more about it! Second of all, yey, another Hunger Games fan- a month and something to go :) Third of all, don't worry, I haven't seen the original Star Wars, either (*gasp*). Last but not least, welcome to Twitter! Currently listening to "Say you don't want it"- One night only and loving it!

    1. Yes the film sounds awesome. I'm not really a Hunger Games fan, but the film has potential. Watch Star Wars- they're pretty entertaining. And Thankssss :D
      That's quite a good song- Emma Watson is in the video.

  3. I'm not a fan of Radcliffe but I also want to see Woman in Black! Looks creepy but I heard it's old-fashioned creepy. I have no problem with that though.

    LOL Love the T-shirt!

    1. It is supposed to be old-fashioned creepy, and I like that too.
      Isn't it just amazing? Harrison Ford is such a boss.

  4. Good to have you on Twitter Nikhat! IT could be a mistake for Yates and Watson but I would rather they try their hand in this kind of movie where Watson can try to push herself as a dramatic actress than her taking empty roles in some rom-coms or hollywood blockbusters ;)

    1. Thank you! This is true, but then again it sounds so sappy.

  5. I just found your blog, and I'm pretty impressed! Much respect to you, my fellow lamb.

    Lucas just decided to number the story he came up with, and made it #4 so he'd have flexibility when making more movies. The idea of prequels and sequels was built in, made SW seem endlessly deep and interesting.

    That's a great shirt! I'm sure Madonna will get one that says, "I'm Madonna and I'm not over it. I got my head right up my @$$." =)

    1. Thank you very much.
      Ah. Well, I dunno. I suppose the tactic worked well at the time.
      Yes it is. Madonna must have a million of those, and another million of Material Girl or something.
      Thank you for commenting :)

  6. I also can't wait for The Woman in Black, but I hope they didn't use cheesy CGI and jump scares too much. This is the kind of movie that should rely on creepy atmosphere.

    1. I don't think they've used a lot of CGI. It does look super creepy from the trailers.
