Inception, Lovecraftian Horror and men in bed together.
Del Toro quit the Hobbit, which was nigh on forgivable... he is now forgiven. Seriously. The H.P. Lovecraft Society 1920's retro version of Call of Cthulhu (much recommended) needs to be knocked off its perch as my favourite Lovecraft adaptation. (Dagon is good but to some degree, it is a comedy romp of a horror film.)
And the other big news of the day is that Tom Hardy, British actor in ST: Nemesis, RocknRolla and Inception amongst others, has fooled around with guys. And if refreshingly honest about it. It's very strange that even in a profession like acting men can't be honest about being, well, experimental. As an aside Tom Hardy is both fit and very, very weird - his appearance on Jonathan Ross was one of those funny interviews that straddled the border between haha and odd 'funny'. Also, he's been cast as the titular lead in Mad Max four... this boy's career is surprising, to say the least. Him in RocknRolla opposite Gerard Butler was awesome. If you've not seen it I don't want to say any more...
... of course that isn't the news but my facebook and boyfriend seemed to demand it was commented apon. I saw Inception last night. My advice for people going to watch it: turn on your brains during the trailers; don't wait for the film to ease you in gently. It's bloody brilliant. I don't want to say too much but it's that rarity: it is a consistent, compelling conundrum; it gets right what the original Matrix did not, and really focuses on the people. So yes. Definitely one of my new favourite films.
