Supernatural spoilers

For the first time ever I can firmly say that I hate the Sam part of the spoilers. I've always been an equal opportunity gal with these two, I didn't care about whom the central story was as long as Sam and Dean tackled it together. But this time...

The most coherent summary of the Comic Con spoilers can be found here - link - divided into Dean, Sam and Castiel related spoilers.

( My opinion... )

I think it would be better if I didn't read any more SPN related spoilers. The more I hear about Sam, the more pissed I am...

Tom Hardy and Christian Bale

Some articles popped up in which Tom Hardy and Christian Bale talk about each other or the movie...



In an interview for People.co.uk, Tom Hardy said:

Meanwhile Tom, in an exclusive interview with The People, revealed playing a monster was unnatural because deep down he is a softie.

“I may be the big baddie in Batman but I love the ballet. It is great. It’s big and scary and I enjoy watching it with my mum.”

For EmpireOnline.com, he said:

I love Christian. He's brilliant. He's really good fun. And it's like, he's a really serious actor, he takes the work very seriously, but not himself very seriously. He's a very funny, witty man, very smart. He's a brilliant character actor, and not at all alpha male in the way that there's not enough limelight for everybody to shine around him. So he's not greedy. He has a tremendous humility as a performer. It's a fucking breath of fresh air to work with somebody like that. And it's very physical.

And Christian Bale said, also for EmpireOnline.com:

Tom is phenomenal. He’s an extraordinary actor. If I was a director I would want Tom to be in my movies. He knows his shit. But it’s a funny distance that you have in these movies, literally, by being cocooned by a cowl. I don’t truly feel like I’ve worked with Gary [Oldman], even though we’ve done three movies together. I don’t really feel like I’ve worked with Gary because I’m here in this darkness every time. And likewise with Tom, we’re both behind these masks. He’s feeling that isolation as well. It’s a strange feeling. So we agreed after this we’d like to work with each other on something one day!

I also giggled when I read this, about how Christian Bale read up on Bane and his role in the Batman mythology:

Then I just went and sat around at Chris’ house and astounded him with how slow a reader I am. I sat and read and he kept walking in going, “You’re kidding me! Still?” And I’m like, “Yeah. Still.” Then lunch… dinner… [laughs]. Then he came in and was like, “That actually took you seven hours”. [laughs].

LOL! I'm so happy that Tom Hardy and Christian Bale got along so well. You hear bad things about Christian but this makes me think that maybe, just maybe it depends on with whom he's filming...

Simon Kinberg on the XMFC sequel

Simon Kinberg mentioned the XMFC sequel in passing at Comic Con this year: link.

I'm not allowed to even breathe a word of any sort of details but I can say that the things that we thought worked well in First Class were the characters, especially the four or five lead characters. The Charles-Erik relationship was obviously incredibly resonant and James [McAvoy] and Michael [Fassbender] did such an amazing job as those characters. Jen Lawrence and Nick Hoult, that's a really interesting relationship between Raven and Hank, so we're really going to be focusing on character and personally I really liked the period aspect of First Class so we may well do that.

Yes, please. If you have to go for romance, give us Raven/Hank, don't try to pair up Charles with Moira again, that was disastrous and creepy and I was glad that they cut it out of the movie. So, no shipping those two. I hope that the writers don't catch the "US Syndrome": in the American TV/movies two men can be close only if the writers STRESS their heterosexuality - see Callen and Sam, John and Rodney etc. and so on.

Please, let Simon Kinberg surprise us with his writing skills the way Steve Thompson surprised us with Sherlock's The Reichenbach Fall: Everybody - me included - dreaded it because he wrote The Blind Banker but his writing was FLAWLESS this time around. So, please, let Simon Kinberg show us that X-Men: The Last Stand was a fluke, that Sherlock Holmes is more his level of skills!

The Big Bang Theory 309-316

Among this bunch? The best Xmas episode EVER! Sheldon and Leonard's mother, Beverly, are a hoot!

Beverly: Excuse me, Leonard, I am the one who is getting a divorce, Mitzi is the one who is dead, why are you the one making a fuss?

Beverly: So, Howard and Rajesh, have you finally summoned the courage to express your latent homosexual feelings towards one another?

This is one of my most favorite episodes of TBBT. It's hilarious! I loved that Sheldon knew everything and Leonard was completely out of the loop! XD
