TV:

MacGyver: Status: Still obsessed.

Salvation: Finished S1. I'm glad that CBS has given this show S2, even though I have to wait till next summer to get to see it. I loved the relationship between Darius and Liam and I hope that next season, the show will focus more on that and a little less on shipping.

Cinema:

The Snowman: Michael Fassbender was amazing in this film based on Jo Nesbo's book, but the film itself was only passable. It had so much potential but instead of focusing on the case and the police team, the film went for Harry's "wannabe" family. Uh. Why?

Thor: Ragnarok: A little too cartoonish for something as epic as "Ragnarok" but the relationship between Thor and Loki made up for that. Because that's what the whole film's pretty much about.

DVD (and other):

Thanks to MacGyver, I fell hard for Lucas Till, so I started watching films with him...

Crush: A stalker movie where a high school soccer player becomes the object of desire of, well, several women, actually, one creepier than the other, but one of them takes it way, way too far and starts killing. A great variation on the "damsel in distress" films.

Paranoia: A slightly boring film staring Liam Hemsworth, Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman. It didn't get really good till the last 15 or so minutes. I bought it solely for Lucas Till who played Liam Hemsworth's best friend in it.

What a scary movie. The ghosts in this one were even scarier than those in The Woman in Black, TBH. The visuals were simply amazing, the costumes, the old house... The story was quite disturbing but I was pretty happy with how it ended, because Tom Hiddleston's character was finally free, though it was a bit of a Pyrrhic victory. Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain were also great. But Charlie Hunnam's character was rather... bland.

Thor 2 it was tonight! I liked the second movie much more than the first one - not that I didn't like the first one, I did, a lot, but in the first one, Thor was basically a jock who needed to be taught a lesson. In the second movie, I really loved Thor as a character. He was brave and smart and funny - but there was this deep... sadness in him. First because of Jane, then because of his mother and Loki.

Speaking of Loki. I wonder if he really does love Thor. I think he does. He doesn't like it and he tries to stomp his feelings for his step-brother into the ground whenever possible, he intentionally does stuff that he knows will hurt Thor because he's convinced that he will then stop loving Thor, once Thor stops loving him. He's like a child that way. But at the end of the day, I think he loves Thor deeply, maybe even more than Freya. Not that he would not kill him, but not because he actually wants Thor dead, but because he thinks he *should* want Thor dead. He would kill Thor and pretend that he doesn't mind - but he would forever suffer, missing him. Loki would hurt himself just to spite others, even when there's no need for it. He's a fascinating character. But I won't lie, it set my heart aflutter when he saved Thor's life.

Also, Jane Foster is rocking awesome. I know that everybody and their uncle is all up in Black Widow's butt, but I like Jane and Sif better *shrugs*

Went to see Thor: The Dark World this afternoon - and LOVED it! Man, I loved it so much. Much more than Iron Man 3 - which disappointed me terribly - and also much more than the first Thor movie. I loved it not so much because of the action but because of the characters: Thor, Jane and Loki in particular.

I have what you might call an "unpopular" opinion in this fandom. Yes, I do like Loki. A lot. And Tom Hiddleston is rocking the part like whoa! But I would always, ALWAYS choose Thor. And not just because of Chris Hemsworth's blue, BLUE eyes. But because of the epic goodness of Thor's heart, his intentions. I guess I always go for the goody-two-shoes but kindness and modesty is incredibly attractive to me.

And another "unpopular" opinion of mine: I love Jane Foster. I mean it. I love her. The character is incredibly sweet and smart and strong-willed without being pushy or bitchy, a trap writers often fall into. And she makes Thor genuinely smile and he allows himself to be vulnerable with her. I root for them as a couple so much.

And though I would love to see Thor with Lady Siff, another great female character in these movies, Siff knows she can wait for Thor. She will live for another two, three thousand years, after all and Jane - what? 50 tops? What are fifty years in the life of an Asgardian?

( Movie specific spoilers! )

I would give this movie 8/10! It's so worth seeing. It's just too bad they showed it only dubbed here. Pah! :(

And you know what? The movie made me crave watching Chuck again! Zachary Levi was wonderful as Fandral!

Current Mood: happy

I broke and actually watched a Thor: The Dark World clip after I was told just how hilarious it is. And LOL!

"'Thor: The Dark World' Exclusive Clip | Moviefone" (Watch on YouTube)

"Well done, you just decapitated your grandfather!" LOL! Man, I can't wait for the movie.

○ Tom Hiddleston replaced Benedict Cumberbatch in Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak: link. In the meantime, Benedict started the talks to join the Brad Pitt produced Lost City of Z: link. So, the thing with Star Wars was really just a rumor. Bummer.

○ Ian McKellen will play Sherlock holmes in A Slight Trick of the Mind: link. Eh. I love both Ian McKellen and Sherlock Holmes but this is not my cuppa. Sherlock without Watson? Sherlock with his mental powers fading? A young sleuth? Eh. Just... eh. I really don't like it when authors - this is based on a book - use Sherlock Holmes as nothing more than a springboard for their own creations. Either write about Sherlock and do him justice or build your own world, take the necessary risks and also responsibility for your own writing. This is just lazy.

○ A funny SDCC vid with the cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past: link.

Tom Hiddleston & Chris Hemsworth

The close friendship between these two simply warms my heart. They clicked so amazingly well and when you listen to them talking about each other and/or their characters, it's simply beautiful...

Question: Who's your favorite Avenger?
Tom: My favorite Avenger is Thor. Unquestionably. He's my brother. Even though I hate him.
Chris: He's not really an Avenger. Can I say Loki? He's not an Avenger but he should be.
Link

Tom about Chris: I started this whole journey with him, and we were both about the same age, and, uhm, he’s become one of my best friends. Yeah, it’s fantastic. And the thing playing that relationship is... They're brothers and it's complicated and they love each other but they compete with each other and... We have to go to some quite complicated emotional places together and you can only do that with an actor you trust. You can't... If you don't like an actor you're working with, it's really hard to be vulnerable. And the reason I can be vulnerable with Chris is because I like him so much.
Link

Tom about Chris: There’s a huge amount of bromantic love going on between Hiddleston and Hemsworth.
Link

Tom about Chris: I’m so blessed to have such a great relationship with Chris, as an actor. I can remember our first scene together in Avengers, Joss was like: ‘You… really make each other better. That’s a really amazing thing to watch.’ We just bring some extra baggage that’s good, you know, because we’ve played brothers for so long, you know. And it’s not an intellectual thing, it’s just like a... It’s like when you play tennis with someone and you’re just evenly matched, you know? Yeah.
Link

And then there are things that make you simply giggle... Like this, just look at the way they sit, their feet! Or this, the GIFs are precious!

Also, I never realized just how tall Tom Hiddleston was until I saw him standing next to Chris Hemsworth. Sheesh!

So, yeah. They are so fabulous! And no, not in a RPS way, thank you very much. I've never been much into RPS and lately not at all. But their friendship, the way they like each other and how obvious it is from the way they talk and behave... Man, I wish there were more actors like that out there and fewer divas!
