Tropic Thunder
Monday I travelled up to London to spend a week at my dad's flat (as he was away in Washington on business), it was good to get away from the normal day to day life I'm currently leading back home which mainly consists of work, watch tv, debate whether to go swimming, gointo to the cinema etc. My friend Sarah met up with me on Tues and we hit TGI's, I ordered a bbq half rack of ribs only to discover that at 3pm they were out of bbq! How the heck does that happen? I mean seriously? I instead had a mango and chilli sauce with the ribs, tasty but it was no bbq. We then, as little miss piggies do...went to the Haagen Daaz cafe situated in the Leicester Square, overlooking the Odeon where fans were waiting to catch a glimpse of the stars from Tropic Thunder. The only premiere that I've really been to was Star Wars: Revenage of the Sith (and that's because I;m a huge star wars fan)...wait, no I glimpsed at one of the HP premieres one day after uni...and saw Malfoy...but anyways back to the here and now.
I had said to
misst89 that as I was going to London I would go the premiere...and so I did...
Ben was the first of the stars to arrive. He got out of his silver car and headed straight to the fans! That my friend is movie star quality!
Jack Black was the next to arrive. He skipped over to the press to begin with (the gathered crowd thought he was going to shun us, but he didn't. Oh no, the guy standing next to me asked for a photo with him ^^ I was going to ask, but I felt rude haha.
Alot of my photos came out blurry - damn camera. I swear, I'm usually a fricken ace with it but that night I was less than stellar...as you will see.
This photo was taken from my iphone. Doesn't Ben look funny!!
Robert was the last to arrive. I thought that perhaps he wasnt coming as the other stars had already been around, talked with the press and their awaiting fans...but he showed! And headed to greet fans (he wasn't really taking photos with people but he was signing things...unfortunately I had nothing for him to sign!!)
And this is where
misst89 will kick my ass, because my photos of RDJ are not very good quality. That photo was taken by my iphone.
All of my RDJ pictures have a light reflecting behind him.
And there we have it ladies and gentleman...(I have more photos but they are seriously BLURRED!)
I went and saw Tropic Thunder on Weds evening and was practically crying with laughter from the beginning. The fake trailers were so fricken hilarious..."Satan's Alley with Tobey Mcguire..." etc. Tom Cruise's cameo was HILARIOUS! The film was just far too funny...espec towards the end where Ben is running away from the camp with his little "Adopted" son on his back. Reminds me of Psycho!!
What else did I do during the week? Some shopping and I went to see Wicked, which was really good. Am now back at home, able to catch up on my shows that I've missed which havent been many thanks to the iphone, I swear I love it...it keeps me connected with the world!
Smallville is back...and dare I say better than ever?
Gossip Girl is still rocking...
Supernatural was good...glad to see the boys back!
Terminator was alright...I like my John/Cameron moments though and there werent too many in this episode :(
And I am looking forward to watching True Blood early monday morning!
Just gotta catch up with Sons of Anarchy, 90210 and I'm set I think...
