Alive, she cried!
Hello, Live Journal. How have you been? I'm sorry I spend so much time actively avoiding you these days. But you make me kinda sad. You aren't what you used to be, and I'm not who I used to be, and I don't really know what to do with you any more. So let's just talk about where we are now for a bit, okay?
Shows I'm still into: Hannibal, Agents of Shield, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Arrow, Elementary, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time. Also watching: Musketeers, Penny Dreadful, Castle, NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds, Mentalist. Also Fargo, but not actually enjoying it very much.
As for movies and where my heart currently lies - I have completely fallen under the spell of the lovely Tom Hiddleston, and can't seem to get enough of him. Last night I watched The Deep Blue Sea, which is beautifully shot if not exactly a feel good piece. Tom is wonderful, even if his character is a complete dick. Rachel Weisz is superb. I didn't much care for her character either, although I could sympathize with her. I've experienced that kind of all-encompassing, feels-like-you're-drowning-in-it love, and it can be both amazing and horrible.
I needed a palette cleanser after, so I watched the most adorable short in the history of ever called "Friend Request Pending" staring Judi Dench. If you haven't seen it, do go look it up. Bonus points for the wee Hiddles cameo that had me all aflutter. ;) Here's a version with subtitles that's currently on youtube:
And can we talk about "Only Lovers Left Alive" for a minute? OMG. This movie pushed all my buttons. If you haven't seen it, look: http://therealbeeej.tumblr.com/post/85883385538
Also, here is a wonderfully thoughtful and intelligent interview with Tom on his role in the movie with bonus Loki discussion at the end. :)
So....who's still here? And what are you into these days?
