ericadawn16Just 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...

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.

Date: 2015-02-17 07:01 am (UTC)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.

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.
