An interview with James McAvoy

There's a really sweet interview with James McAvoy here: link.


Pic unrelated to the article, I just like it *_*

My favorite parts?

-- He's currently filming Trance with Danny Boyle. "Danny has incredible energy," he marvels of the shock-headed Slumdog Millionaire auteur and artistic director of the Olympics 2012 opening ceremony. "It's quite something to behold. He drinks a lot of coffee and he's about four feet taller when his hair's standing up. He's working on the Olympics Thursday and Friday and doing our film the rest of the time." LOL! He's obviously so enjoying himself!

-- He admits that making X-Men: First Class, his well-received summer blockbuster comic-book prequel, was tough. "It was a really gruelling shoot. Six, seven months of indecision and not knowing what we were doing…" Aww... :(

-- In his next film, Filth, an adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel, he has been asked to lose weight à la Christian Bale. 'I was like, "Aw, must I? Can't I just act it, darling?'" he laughs in his best Larry Olivier accent. "We start filming mid-January. Christmas is gonna be a f*****g nightmare, isn't it?" LOL, the poor thing!

TV, TV!

I really, really, really don't like the new spoilers for NCIS:LA: link. This is seriously jumping the shark. I already put the show on a hiatus and this... I now don't even feel like watching it again. WTF, Shane Brennan?! WTF!

A good episode of Fringe, I liked the sci-fi part of the episode, the episodic plot. The overall arc... Not so much. The show feels so tired and slow, the whole Peter storyline is dragging out so much and I'm actively starting to dislike Walter. Basically, the episode made me feel sad and depressed which is not why I watch the series.

Finally got back to watching Leverage. I think it was ep 209 - yeah, I'm that far behind. I'm just dreading the whole Tara arc. I really hate the character, her smirking, her attitude. She's bad blood. I would've preferred if they didn't introduce any replacement. I would've liked to see them struggle without a grifter. Knowing in how many episodes Tara will be is putting me off *sigh*

Also, finally watched Once Upon A Time, eps 101 and 102. I do like Emma and Henry, but... that's pretty much it. The rest of the characters just don't interest me at all. They just aren't gripping enough, engaging enough. I honestly don't feel like watching more. I like Grimm much better.
