Things I Learned Today
Jan. 18th, 2016 09:59 pmMe: Ooh, he grew up in Miami!
My Mom: Who?
(I tilt the magazine so that she can see Oscar Isaac. It's the Empire Star Wars issue. If "butthead" wasn't on the cover, I probably would have purchased it...yes, I literally called him Butthead in the store...SIX special covers and all Barnes & Noble has is KYLO REN!!!?)
Me: "Growing up in South Florida, it was like a religion." That's referring to Star Wars.
My Mom: I didn't think that was just a Florida thing...
Then, I'm reading the Adam Driver article and he mentions not watching one of his own films since Inside Llewyn Davis...
But Oscar Isaac was in that movie, not Adam Driver...off to Wiki who explains that I didn't know who Adam Driver was then so yeah, he was totally there...
That is Oscar Isaac shaking hands with Adam Driver with Justin Timberlake in the background. Adam Driver played the Cowboy!!!
Me: I hate how the internet and Tumblr keep acting like Adam Driver is hot.
My Mom: I thought he was kind of good looking myself.
Me: He's sort of cute, I'll give him that but not hot. Chris Hemsworth is hot.
He's not hot to me. I've seen him too many times being all whiney and getting people into trouble and nothing...
Well played Tumblr, well played.
I also read the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary which Tumblr did not do justice, that thing is pretty amazing. It even confirmed that Rey is 19 years old and that the Battle of Jakku happened right before the Empire signed their surrender to the New Republic...which means Rey and the Battle of Jakku could still be related...
After the Empire surrendered, Chewbacca went HOME! It also confirmed that his life debt background is still canon. However, when everything went shit and Han took up smuggling again, Chewbacca came back to be by Han's side.
I want more stuff about Korr Sella and Ensign Goode...who had a different name in the book.
Plus, Han's "new jacket" is made from Nerf leather!
Finally, I bought Star Wars: Shattered Empire because I had been seriously considering it now that I've fallen so very, very hard for Poe but I found out Leia flies a plane with Shara Bay and that's when I NEEDED IT.
I also got confirmation at how hard I had fallen when Ex Machina won Best Science Fiction/Horror film at the Critic's Choice Awards last night and I was DISAPPOINTED!!! that Oscar Isaac wasn't there.
(sigh)
However, it was accepted by Alicia Vikander aka GABY!!! from Man from U.N.C.L.E. who stars in the film with Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleason aka Evil Bill Weasley!
On a related note, I never wanted to pay money for Ex Machina before but now...I wanna see it.
War and Peace needs more Gillian Anderson...I'll probably skip the other nights. Less than a week before I get Anderson as SCULLY!
Tomorrow: Agent Carter! DC show with Kevin Smith! Infighting!
Wednesday: 10th anniversary showing of High School Musical! Princess Leia on Star Wars: Rebels!!!
Thursday: Legends of Tomorrow! Last Heroes Ever (God willing)! LONDON SPY ON US TV! Portlandia! Baskets?
