I love the way...

... Both Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy talk about their XMFC characters and their relationship. You can literally feel the fondness they have for each other, as actors and as the characters they portray. Link to the article.

Referencing the on-again, off-again friendship between McAvoy’s character, Charles Xavier, and Fassbender’s magnetic mutant in the Marvel Comics universe, Fassbender hinted that there’s always the possibility that they’ll be on the same side again. Although if their comic-book history is any indication, it could take another threat bigger than both of them to bring the former friends together.

“You know what’s interesting about Magneto and Professor X from the comic books as well, is there’s such a complexity to their relationship,” he explained. “It’s not just like clear-cut enemies; they’re best friends as well. In the comic books, even after they’ve had this sort of rift, Professor X asks Magneto to come back and look after the students at certain points.”

“I think there’s always that complexity in their relationship,” he said. “And we want to keep that alive as possible, because that’s I think a really interesting thing — the conflict there.”

It's so good to see both of them care so much about the integrity of Charles and Erik. They really want to explore them but not destroy what these two have, their friendship. And I just love they keep in sight that Charles and Erik are best friends, no matter what. Aww...

Also, it's great that the actors seem to have rather a lot of influence on what happens with their characters. That's why I hope that Matthew Vaughn returns as the director. These three - Matthew, James and Michael - seem to want exactly the same thing.

NCIS: LA 314 question

Please, please tell me that episode 314 will focus on Sam and G, that it'll be about their partnership and NOT about Sam's "man-pain"!

( Spoilery picture! )

I would love to get back into the show but I can't, I just can't as long as Sam's "man-pain" is front and center.

Anyone on my flist in the know about this episode's plot?

Sweet!

I've made no secret of disliking much of this season of NCIS:LA, but that doesn't mean I don't still love Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J who are just adorable together!


Found on Tumblr!

Another two actors who clicked fabulously. These two make everything better, even the most painfully awkward episodes. Amazing chemistry \o/ And I just adore how tiny Chris O'Donnell is standing next to LL Cool J!

Book #6

"The House of Silk" by Anthony Horowitz

4 stars out of 5

The best non-Doyle Sherlock Holmes story I've come across so far. Intriguing and with many unexpected twists and turns, it features Holmes being accused of a crime he didn't commit and Watson never once losing faith in him. Wonderful. Though I could've done without the Moriarty part which was unnecessary for the story itself and made Watson look a bit like a fool, in my opinion.

Also, the ending was incredibly bittersweet and I actually bawled like a baby. The violin and Watson hoping Holmes was playing for him... Truly wonderful. Anthony Horowitz really got the spirit of Holmes and Watson's relationship.
