Thoughts

1) So I read Fifty Shades of Grey and Fifty Shades Freed. Uhm. How will these ever be films? It's so explicit! Good lord. Just see Ellen reading it. My reactions are more or less the same. It's also like that of grandmothers, as informed by a friend. The best part of reading these books were how much I got to whine to my friends about it. I just don't see how the 500 sex scenes will be part of the movie. I mean yes, the biggest thing the books had going for them was that in my head Christian Grey is Ryan Gosling, but still. So repetitious. Erotic fanfiction is not for me. Not one bit. Although, I find it interesting that Angelina Jolie wants to make them. That will be new.


2) Speaking of- this picture of Angelina Jolie as the titular character in Maleficient is to die for! I will be watching or rewatching (I don't remember if I've seen it or not) the Disney Sleeping Beauty soon, just to get a taste of Maleficient. I mean Angelina Jolie has always been kind of unrealistically gorgeous, and with, quoting Sherlock, "I could cut myself slapping those" cheekbones, and horns and weird eyes- SPECTACULAR!!


3) The Lammys are being given out! Congratulations to Stevee for winning Best Rating System, Sati. for runners up in Best Blog Design, Anna for runners up in Best Classic Blog, Sam for Best Running Feature and runners up in Best Blogathon and Ryan for Best Podcast, and everyone else who won! I especially named these because I voted for them and it's nice when your vote counts but really, a huge congratulations to every nominee and winner :D


4) Trailers and teasers- Farewell, My Queen which stars Diane Kruger as Marie Antoinette and also has Léa Seydoux. It is a badly made trailer, but I like the concept and it looks beautiful. Before we forget, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 has a teaser out! Woo Hoo!! It's finally ending y'all :D Man, why is Lee Pace in this? Another teaser is that of Monsters Inc. prequel Monster University. Originally I felt that this was unnecessary, but the teaser is pretty funny and it will be interesting to get a animated film about frat boys (sorta), no? The king of teasers is of course Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master. It looks amazing. I love Hoffman's whole look, and Phoenix is still shocking me in these teasers alone. This is how one makes teasers. The Dark Knight Rises's fourth trailer, just in case we weren't dying to see it already. Finally, Joe Wright's Anna Karenina which just looks magnificent. I can't get over how gorgeous it looks. I am not even concentrating on how terrible Aaron Johnson looks in it.


5) Finally, this-

My work here is done.

Good bye.
