Interview with Lee Pace

There's a fantastic interview with Lee Pace about his part as Thranduil in the upcoming The Hobbit movie: link. It's amazing to read his thoughts on the elves in general and Thranduil in particular. I loved this quote:

The elves are not like people, they're more like tigers and blizzards and old, old trees. That's what they are. And Orlando [Bloom] reminded me of this when he came back to shoot this time. He was like - "The elves are always different. They are different than the way we think." That helps a lot, to think that, you know, the little ways that I think is not the way a 3.000-year-old elf lord thinks. He understands love differently, he understands life differently.

I really can't wait for his take on the part. He seems to understand his character perfectly.

TV! TV! TV!

( Supernatural 903-904. I'm really bored by Castiel's storyline - can we, please, move on? )

MMM: #25 Dredd

That was great - but, sheesh, I can understand why it was rated hard R in the cinemas, talk about a hail of bullets and buckets of blood. It's so sad that it flopped completely, though, I would have loved a sequel. Because, graphic violence aside, it's a great movie with amazing women - out of the three main characters, two are women in non-traditional roles!

For me, the movie was a duel between Dredd and Ma-Ma. Karl Urban and Lena Headey were amazing in it. Great actors who have the worst luck in movies and shows. Lena's only big success is GoT, Karl's the ST and LotR movies. But I still love them a LOT, especially because they both make so many sci-fi/fantasy movies. Olivia Thirlby as Anderson was also awesome - and another actress with a bad luck in roles.

Also, I heard that The Raid had a similar premise - a cop caught in a tower with many bad guys. I think I will have to get it on DVD, then, because it's a quite fascinating action theme.
