Playboy interview with JGL

There's an excellent interview that JGL gave to Playboy.com. Seriously, Playboy. Nekkid ladies and such? Yet the interviewer had the most intriguing, well-thought, non-trivial questions I've encountered in an interview in a very long time. It really surprised me: link. He was asked about his parents' political activism, about his grandfather who had been a famous director back in the day, about his short films... It was excellent.

What I loved best was this question about his relationship with Zooey Deschanel:

PLAYBOY: How do you react when so many people—judging from comments on the internet—want the two of you to get together romantically?

GORDON-LEVITT: It’s awkward when people say that. Whatever. Zooey and I just think it’s funny. It is funny. We’ve been friends for 10 years. She loves movies, music and art, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about that stuff. She’s turned me on to so many good movies and so much good music. It’s fun just to have conversations, watch movies with her and stuff like that.

I admit that Zooey Deschanel's roles are too quirky for my taste but she seems like a nice, genuinely warm-hearted person and their friendship is just so sweet!

Colin Morgan talks about Merlin's magic

There's a short article on SciFiNow in which Colin Morgan talks about Merlin's magic and the way magic in general will be portrayed in Merlin's S5: link.

( Spoilers )

You know what would be make the waiting for Merlin's magic reveal worthwhile? If Arthur banished Merlin from Camelot and Merlin became the leader of the druids and the mightiest wizard of all so the next time he and Arthur met, it would be on equal terms, both as leaders of their people, not as a servant and his master. THAT would make it worthwhile for me!

JGL and Zooey Deschanel

After JGL and Zooey Deschanel filmed 500 Days of Summer with the director Marc Webb, he also cast them in a couple of short movies, each of them a little bit different. Just for fun.

The music vid (JGL is seriously athletic!):

And the one in which Zooey is the guy and JGL the girl:

I think it's neat that they are willing and even eager to explore different stuff just for fun :)
