"Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, “He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man”, or “That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock.” Just."

A Sherlock Observation

You know what I really, really liked about Sherlock 2x03? The fact that Lestrade was more or less referred to as King Arthur. Which made me go all kinds of YAY and WHEE.

Let me elaborate (as if I wouldn't). ( In Which I Ramble )

In conclusion: need Lestrade icon. Preferrably one with a crown saying "KING" or something :-p

I LITERALLY SAT THERE GOING "OH GOOOOOOD!" AND YELLING AT MY SCREEN EVERY OTHER SECOND WHILE WATCHING THIS. OH MY GOD. BILBO! AND IT'S MY BILBO AND MARTIN IS PERFECT AS BILBO JUST LIKE I THOUGHT AND THORIN IS FANTASTIC AND...EVERYTHING!!! AND THE DWARF SONG WHICH IS SO DARK AND GLOOMY AND SO DIFFERENT FROM THE HOBBIT AND ELVEN STUFF WE'VE HEARD IN THE OTHER FILMS. THE SCENERY. GANDALF. THE DWARVES. ELVES. RIVENDELL. THE MUSIC. OH MY GOD

I...I don't even. I was actually tearing up while watching this. I'M COMING HOME TO MIDDLE-EARTH!

(THERE AREN'T ENOUGH CAPSLOCK AND EXCLAMATION MARKS IN THE WORLD TO EXPRESS HOW HAPPY THIS TRAILER MAKES ME.)

"I can haz The Hobbit now?"-Post #546

Finally a new video blog from the set of THE HOBBIT is online. Lots of tech-stuff but there are some nice glimpses of the cast and characters.

Admidst others, this.

Photobucket

AND MY HEAD WENT BOOM. BECAUSE. Yes I knew Frodo was going to have a cameo in the movie and I was excited about that. But seeing Elijah at the set of The Hobbit, wearing the exact same costume that Frodo wears when we first meet him in The Fellowship of the Ring--I must admit I squeed. Loudly. And there may have been some teary eyes.

I can't stress enough how incredibly perfect Martin is as Bilbo. I have no words. He is PERFECT. PERFECT. PERFECT.

Is it 2012 yet?

(Just in case you haven't noticed yet, I'm really, really, really, really looking forward to this movie. I don't even care of PJ mucks up the script and whatnot, I just want to see more of Middle-earth, really. See Bag End on the Big Screen again. Everything else I consider a bonus.)

Awesomecakes.

(Thank you

roadrunner1896 for linking me to this :p Did you see? There's a bit of Russel Tovey in it!)

This is win on more levels than I can currently count :-) Doctor Who really has the most adorable cast and crew. Bless them.

My brother still needs to get caught up with season three and four, so after seeing this video I actually watched 3x11 with him yesterday, even though season three is my least favourite by far (except for the final episodes which have the genius hat is John Simm).

I even have a Ten & Donna icon still. W00t.

Doctor Who 6x11 - 6x13

I finally got caught up with Doctor Who! Wheeee!!!

It's fair to say I really loved this season. I particularly enjoyed 6x11 and 6x12--6x13 wasn't bad, but it felt a bit rushed I thought? Oh yes, I got a question: who did the doctor call from the TARDIS? The name didn't mean anything to me. What did I miss? And HAHA! I guessed right about the question that was hidden in plain sight!

In other news: RORY RORY RORY RORY RORY RORY.

You know, there are only two fictional characters in this world that would make me rethink my stand on marriage.

1) Ted Mosby
2) Rory Williams

(Note how neither of these guys are particularly handsome. I just love them for what they are. I feel so grown up!)

Okay. So. I know I'm late to the party regarding the final three episodes but talk to me?

*wibble*

Look! The film that Spielberg is only making for me has a new trailer out! This time with bonus Benedict Cumberbatch and stuff!

See, my head is telling me, "That is one cheesy trailer." Or that's what it would be telling me if my inner seven-year old wasn't yelling FLAWLESS FLAWLESS FLAWLESS FLAWLESS HORSES MUSIC BOY AND HIS HORSE BAWL BAWL BAWL at me. That trailer pushes so many of my buttons I don't even. It's like they combined Lassie Come Home and Black Beauty and sprinkled Seabiscuit all over it. In other words: I choked up just watching that trailer and will probably be a complete mess once I've actually seen the whole thing. The trailer looks just beautiful. The cinematography. The music. It's so very old-school Spielberg.

I'm probably last to the party as always but in case I'm not...have the link!

Tom Hopper, Eoin Macken and Rupert Young pose for a Gay Magazine Photoshoot and do the most adorable interview ever. The banter! The adorableness! ~~The naked skin and hot stuff and yes, Gay Magazine Photoshoot~~ When will Merlin be back? Soon? Say it's soon?

Also, I'm feeling a bit spammy today so...expect more posts to come. Sorry. Not.

I still need a Gwaine icon.

SHERLOCK SEASON 2 CLIPS.

OMG. JUST BRIEF ONES. BUT. BUT.

I'm mildly confused, though. I thought season two was moved to 2012? And usually the BBC doesn't release previews or trailers until like, the last possible moment O.o So what's this?

In any case. OMG. CAN'T WAIT.

London Calling

Okay, peepsicles, tomorrow after work I'm off to London. Will be returning Saturday after having (hopefully) cleaned out Portobello Market.

We hear you actually have to get a wrist band to be allowed to enter Trafalguar Square on Thursday. I don't think we'll get there in time to get hold of one as they start handing them out tomorrow. I understand they want to keep control over the amount of people in the place, but booo. I really want one. I want to bid the cast farewell :( I'm actually a little sad about the Harry Potter premiere being here. The end of an era has come.

Anyways--two and a half days of exciting London ahead! Have packed cool clothes and hair bands because if I can't wear this stuff in London, where can I?

Have also packed three different cameras. Should be sufficient.

Take care guys, and do all the exciting things I'd never dare to do :-)
