Because Tom Hiddleston...

[ericadawn16]

Just because I continue to watch it and can't wait for season two of Broadchurch doesn't mean I've forgiven BBCA for cutting out Tom Hiddleston's award presentation for at least the third year in a row. Even my mom is side-eyeing them and suggested how if "that guy had just talked less, they probably could have shown ALL of the awards!"

"that guy" = Stephen Fry

I also suggest less of the preshow. Honestly, if I could just get a full presentation from Tom Hiddleston, you could give me NO PRESHOW AT ALL! Especially when you're going to waste the preshow on American actors like Reese Witherspoon who every single fucking preshow does. This is the BRITISH awards, give me British actors, dammit.

Plus, (not BBCA's fault)...they left out Bob Hoskins in the memoriam section! They claim that they covered him in the television awards but to my knowledge, those aren't even televised overseas so THEY DON'T COUNT!

Luckily, Tumblr had Tom Hiddleston and Mark Strong presenting the award.

Well, onto nicer things...

The Best Man:


Your eyes just naturally gravitate to the crotch, right? Not just me?

hehe


Also, today Publix finally had a copy of Vanity Fair!

Yes, I did see Kingsman. No, I'm not prepared to do a full post. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. My mom's the same way. On Twitter, I referred to it as " where they take all my favorite British actors, make them into awesome badasses and kill them horribly on screen."

One death I was expecting but NOT that way! Another death I started to suspect but upset me a great deal, I was almost crying. Plus, the film was just so DIFFERENT than I was expecting. It was directed by Matthew Vaughn and they kept billing it as he's guy the behind X-Men: First Class so I expected...more of a normal Marvel film but what I hadn't noticed, and I feel stupid about it now, is that the original comic book was by Mark Millar the guy who did Kickass so the film is really more if Quentin Tarantino did a Marvel film. I felt like I was watching a live action anime with gushing blood and maiming EVERYWHERE! I love Tarantino and Scorsese but I also like to prepared ahead of time about what to expect.

I can't wait for you to watch this season of Broadchurch just to give me someone to talk to about it. We're watching episode 7 tonight and my sister (who I watch it with) is the only person I know watching it right now.

I may have to watch it in real time then...

Last time with Broadchurch, I knew it was a serial so I waited for the entire series to finish and binge-watched it all off my DVR in a day or two.

However, Wednesday might be an easier time to watch these days with my work schedule. I'm usually home in time for Arrow and onward.

Gracepoint was easy because I always have Thursdays off. Did you see that one? In some ways, I actually enjoyed that more than the original.

1. Because I knew the basics behind the story, it felt more like the adaptation of a well-read book of mine but without me getting upset over every little change.

2. I knew almost none of the American cast and most of the British one so with the American cast, I was free from the distractions of where everyone was from prior to Broadchurch.

We watched the first series once we had all of the episodes too. We wanted to be able to watch them all in one day. We've been watching this series weekly and that has been harder. :P

I didn't watch Gracepoint, and for reasons sort of like the reasons you did watch it. I already knew the story and I didn't want to see it again with new actors. And I know most of the British cast before watching, and they were the reason I was so excited to see it. I only knew a few of the American cast members and that made it less interesting to me.

I'm definitely excited for Crimson Peak :)

Surprisingly enough, my mum and I loved Kingsman. I was a little shocked by the amount of deaths and crudeness, but I'd love it enough that I want a sequel to it. There is so much potential to be had. :)

I've never been one for horror films (Sleepy Hollow is the exception, but it's not really hardcore horror), but Crimson Peak intrigued me.

I only caught the BAFTAs towards the end. My first thought was Why the BLEEP was Tom Cruise choosen for announcing the best movie? UGH.........
It really did feel like The Oscars Light. :o

I have to say, What's up with those pants? Crotch yes, but those pants. lol.......

I have seen the commercials for Kingsman, and I can't decide if I want to see it or not.
Hugs, Jon

Oh MY~!!! I have to see Crimson Peak! Tom is so hot! I usually don't like scary movies as much as sci-fi but, this looks so cool and the first movie I have seen Tom in that looks really interesting to me since the Marvel films. We have to wait until October and I don't know if I will get to see it until it is on DVD. :( How can that man be so gorgeous!!!

Nah, I saw the vampire film, too. I really liked it, beautiful music and history in it.

I hope you get to see it in October but I know how hard it is for you to see films.
