Thoughts

I seem to be losing track of days. Didn't even realise I should've posted this yesterday. *headdesk*

1) First, a personal note- I have 60 followers now! Woo Hoo!! Totally psyched and thanks everybody for following this silly little blog :D

2) I recently realised that I have to post my "Big End of the Year Bonanza Post!" or something to that effect in which I list my favourite films, performances, scenes and shots of the year and also my "The Social Network Film of the Year". I still haven't started because I wanted to watch Shame and My Week with Marilyn before making it, but I have not gotten any such opportunity yet and chances of me catching them anytime soon look bleak. Hopefully I will post them within a week, and by that I mean the next ten days.

3) When I was in 3rd Grade, I had declared that Daniel Radcliffe was the most perfect and wonderful person ever. A decade later, I am proud of my younger foresightful self. He recently spoke about his support for LGBT rights and also, how he has a man-crush on Ryan Gosling. I mean, is he awesome or is he awesome?! And then he talked about how he is a bit "miffed" about the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 Oscar snub. He makes valid points here, about how the awards are snobbish. They are. I really don't think they will invite the golden trio to present any awards, and I shall hate them forever.

4) Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be making his directorial debut this year with a romcom. He will star in it too, along with Scarlett Johannson and another female lead that is yet to be cast. How brilliant! I love JGL and I think he is just bubbling with talent. I mean he has the most impressive roles lined up- in Lincoln, The Dark Knight Rises and Django Unchained. *Swoon* ScarJo is also going to star in Can a Song Save Your Life, which is going to be made by John Carney. Carney had made the wonderful Once and this does sound good. The always excellent Mark Ruffalo will co-star. I am quite looking forward to both these films.

5) The queen of ubiquity, Jessica Chastain, will be starring in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, along with Joel Edgerton. This is fantastic. I have always had this romanticized idea about the character of Eleanor Rigby, from the famous Beatles song. I even wrote a post about it, aeons ago. How lovely that Chastain would play her in a film, even though I think it has more to do with the name than the story in the song. The film will be about a couple, played by Chastain and Edgerton, and I don't think will follow the song so much. Pity, but meh. I like it.

6) Trailers- Seeking a Friend for the End of the World which has Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. I really like the premise and I have thought about things like this. It looks really smart and sweet and I hope it is just that. End of the world is also the theme of the next film, Iron Sky in which space Nazis attack the world after they had been hiding on the dark side of the moon for the past 40 years. It sounds insane, but deliciously so. I don't know anyone from the cast, but I think I will catch this. The Bourne Legacy which has Jeremy Renner taking the helm of the Bourne series from Matt Damon. It looks nice enough and it has Ed Norton, so yaay! I saw The Bourne Identity this week, and I like the whole idea. Red Lights has a pretty solid cast with Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro and Elizabeth Olsen. It looks scary-ish. The king of the trailers this week is *obviously* Miley Cyrus-starrer LOL. LOL jk. Why does it have Douglas Booth? He went from kissing Matt Smith to kissing Miley Cyrus. LOL. Poor Demi Moore though. The real king of the trailer is of course that which stars my other fake husband Andrew Garfield being all sexy and Spidey and spandex-y and stuff- The Amazing Spiderman. I love how vivid it looks and I do like the flashy suit. I am excited for this!!

7) Finally, the Oscar luncheon took place this week (oh the daydreams that followed...). This picture is just gold.
Your argument is invalid.

Tata.

  1. Great roundup of news! Most of mine is about SW...
    I'm excited to see what JGL is going to do; if I were gay, I'd crush on him, as he's a great and exciting actor!

    1. Thanks.
      Makes sense why one would have a man-crush on JGL. He's too cool and talented.

  3. I was sitting in ICT looking at pics of that Oscar luncheon, and we were both like "AWWWWWWWW!" when we saw Jean Dujardin and Cloon together. Such a cute pic. I'm seriously considering changing my name to Jean Dujardin for no reason. Haha.

    And JGL is husband #2...I'm so happy he's going to be writing and directing something!

    1. Yes I would like to change my name to Jean Dujardin too.
      JGL is somewhere there in my list of fake husbands. I'm happy too.

  4. Uuu, that new project with Jessica Chastain and Joel Edgerton sounds amazing, can't wait to see it!
    The Spiderman trailer was interesting, I like the chemistry between the two and Garfield will be a good superhero, but no love for Aven gers?Loki will be dissapointed :)

    1. It does, doesn't it.
      No I like the Avengers. Loki is pretty awesome (best part about Thor by a mile).

  5. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World looks super sweet! It reminded me that Keira Knightley hasn't done anything silly for a long time.
    Anyway, it really is a shame that Harry Potter is always overlooked by the Academy and other "serious" awards... I can't believe Daniel has a crush on Ryan Gosling! ... Or, well, actually I do understand it... but that's the weirdest part.

    1. It does look really sweet, but amazingly not in a sappy way. Yeah, she was in A Dangerous Methid, which was the furthest thing from silly ever.
      It is a shame. It makes *total* sense why he would have a man-crush on Gosling. I find both of them all the more attractive after this admission :P

  6. Looking forward to your top of 2011 list! I feel like I did mine a few weeks too early ahah so no shame in waiting a bit ;)

    And I'm loving Jessica Chastain more and more. I saw The Debt last weekend, she was outstanding in that and gave me a better idea of her as an actress (I had only seen The Tree of Life prior to that)

    1. I guess so, though I still haven't seen some of the films I need to see yet :(
      Yep, she's pretty awesome. I haven't seen The Debt, but I did see The Help. I really liked her in that, and she was my favourite in it.
