first of all, thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!

On my actual bday (I'm having a prolonged bday at the moment) I saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with a couple of friends on its release date. It was fantastic.

• • dat Gary Oldman as the weary, pained George Smiley
  • dat ruthlessness of the agents as a whole
  • DAT MARK STRONG, OH GOD MARK ILU AND YOUR BROMANCE WITH COLIN FIRTH (when he shot Colin/Bill at the end I almost CRIIEED)
  • dat grey gloomy dark atmosphere
  • DAT ACTING
  • there was also bonus Stephen Graham of Boardwalk Empire fame and someone I recognised from Downton Abbey, can't remember her name...
  • fuck I'm going to see this again
  • oh yeah Tom Hardy was awright too, I know some of you are a little more than nuts for the guy but, just my preference, I'm not -into- him so tbh I didn't pay attention to him very much, and spent half the movie making eyes at Mr Oldman, Mr Firth, Mr Cumberbatch and Mr Strong, of course <3
  
  
  in the meantime I started a new game on my pokemon White and I'm trying to catch a sodding Vanilite that doesn't have a shit Nature... :< also I know that Emolgas are basically mid-game players and would be crushed by later gym leaders and the elite 4 because their stats aren't good enough, but fuck I love my little flying squirrel and I don't want to give him up :< :<
