Teen Wolf renewed!

Teen Wolf was renewed for S3 which will have 24 episodes: link. The show won the tax lottery and one of the conditions was a 24 ep long season, so, there you have it. Though I think they'll split it in two 12 ep long half-seasons and air S3.0 next year and S3.1 the year after that, the way Syfy's doing it with Warehouse 13 this year.

But mostly, I wanted to post this picture...


Dylan O'Brien & Tyler Hoechlin

These two are so incredibly sweet in the BTS pics and vids. I think the fact that they are best buds shows in the show even when their characters, Stiles and Derek, are at odds. No wonder the fandom is bonkers for this slash pairing! Aren't they just precious? \o/

The Amazing Spider-Man

I liked the movie better than the previous films with Tobey Maguire. I really like Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as a couple, they are incredibly sweet and the fact that they really are that close in RL bleeds over into the film...



The CGI was amazing and a real treat in 3D. There were some quite LOL-worthy scenes and the action sequences, especially between Spider-Man and The Lizard, were breathtaking. The last one, wow, just wow! I also hope that Peter's enemy-turned-friend Flash will appear in the sequel, I really liked his relationship with Peter. Also, I didn't know that C. Thomas Howell was in it and though his part was rather cheesy, I almost cheered out loud!

On the other hand... the movie is nice but quite forgettable. While watching it, you cheer and laugh, but once you leave the cinema... There is nothing that would stay with you and that you would want to discuss in detail.

My rating: 6/10

We also saw the trailers for The Dark Knight Returns and The Hobbit - both were AMAZING on the big screen!

And for Brave - which did nothing for me. The whole "I'll fight for my hand myself" and "let's make the contestants the biggest doofuses ever" irritated me. There's really no need to make women look good at the expense of men (ETA: or vice versa, of course). Women are awesome in their own right. Both genders should be equal, not one better and one worse and that's exactly how the trailer felt to me: Merinda = awesome; every guy, her father included = idiot. Meh.

No Mads Mikkelsen in Thor after all :(

It looks like Mads Mikkelsen won't be in Thor 2 after all: link. The filming clashes with his shooting of the TV series Hannibal. I'm so disappointed. Mads Mikkelsen knows how to do menacing bad guys so well. But I hope his show is a success. Considering it will be airing on NBC, though...
