Falling into the black hole of celebrity gossip surfing
Yes, it happens to all of us at one time or another - we (okay, I won't involve you) - I fall into a sinkhole of celebrity gossip and can't get out. In the recent past it's been the Cumberbatch that has dragged me into the mud, but today it was some completely random shit - god, I can't even remember how it started! I ended up reading a lot about Alexander Skarsgard, Henry Cavill and Kate Bosworth. These are not even celebrities I care anything about. I guess that makes it better in a way. In fact, I have a particular antipathy toward Kate Bosworth because I thought she was blah and horrid in Superman Returns, and took the role - like so many roles - that should have perhaps gone to a more seasoned actress. Also "Straw Dogs" was super-triggery on all levels, even for one who is not highly susceptible to triggers. BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW.
Anyway. The quicksand of this particular celeb dish-fest made up of gossip and yuck did deliver one thing I hadn't seen before and which others of you may not have seen either (dear god I hope you have been spared the sinkhole)... regarding a scene during filming of True Blood:
Before the cameras begin rolling, Skarsgård walks up to his mark in the center of the room, Moyer kneels in front of him-his character is picking something up off the ground when the shot begins-and the director watches them from his chair in front of a camera monitor. While waiting in their places, Skarsgård looks down at his costar and says dryly, “It looks like he’s sucking me off,” to which Moyer responds by bobbing his head vigorously. Skarsgård closes his eyes and starts moaning with the intensity of a slash-fiction hero, after which Moyer stands up and wipes imaginary fluids from his mouth with the back of his hand. He scans the crowd and after taking a slight bow says, “And the Emmy goes to… ” A crew member whispers to no one in particular, “Now that’s what I call ‘Action.’”
LOL. From an interview in Black Book in case you care about sources.
In case you've been under a rock, here is Teh Skars:
Would you like to hear other superficial BS from my heat-addled brain? Yes? Okay - so Spike and Giles are reunited on Warehouse 13! I think they have aged quite well but Giles looks absolutely smoking in a few scenes so I'm happy about that. It's just too bad they don't have much to work with. I feel that since W13 has been officially canceled that everyone is just phoning in the last bit (6 final eps will air in 2014). Also one storyline which I will not spoil for [spoilers okay in comments! Be warned!] is pretty god awful. If you're watching, you know what I'm talking about.
Dear god it's hot. My brain is officially baked.
