Hiddleston was fantastic, the perfect Hal. Wasn't impressed by either Beale or the voiceovers...

Lesley is now desperate to see more of the "o, he's rather fanciable, isn't he" Hiddleston...

Has she seen Thor yet? He absolutely wipes the floor with everyone else in it.

It's a fucking awesome movie. Definitely worth checking out ASAP--I've seen it about eight and nine times and keep finding new details every time. I'll stop before I'll start listing all the reasons why it rocks, but Hiddleston's Loki would be one of the main ones. They even plucked his eyebrows to make him look more androgynous. And his acting is pretty amazing in it--better than in the Hollow Crown, so far. BUT I MUST SHUT UP NOW or I will go on about it forever ._______.

I finally got round to it and spent most of the play thinking "Who is that incredibly pretty boy standing next to Hiddleston?" The answer turned out to be David Dawson, whom I'd previously seen in a play about Coronation Street. Have to say he did a lot more for me than TH, though it wouldn't surprise me at all if Hal/Poins started showing up.

They had bucketloads of slash between them, yes.

Watching someone attractive playing a douchebag is always a challenge, I find. I got the same vibes as I did with Tennant in S2 of NuWho. "Oh god, you are an unbearable little shit who needs a punch in the face but I still need to throw you down on the table and have my wicked way with you. Repeatedly."
