"We need more wire cutters!" aka War Horse

Despite my best intentions I do seem to be continuing with my Hiddleston phase. Curse you, blue eyes *shakes fist*

I finally saw The Deep Blue Sea (no, not the one with the mutant killer sharks). It's deliberately melodramatic and definitely an indie, art-y, Brit-flick. But all the actors are superb, in particular Weiz.

Then today a group of us from work sallied forth to the silver screen to see War Horse.

Non-spoiler-y reaction: great film, beautiful to look at, but I am definitely glad I read the book first. The humans are but passing chapters as the tale is from the horse's POV, but even so it was wonderful to see Sherlock gently teasing Loki as they prepared for a practice cavalry charge. Only word of caution? DO NOT SEE THIS FILM IF YOU HAVE ONE SINGLE DROP OF CYNICISM IN YOU. This is Spielberg and his ideal vision of ye olde English countryside and sunsets and all that jazz.

( SPOILER-y reaction... )

In closing, have a gander at this interview with Cumberbatch and Hiddleston. It is slightly spoiler-y for their characters' fates in the film from 3 mins in, but the 1st minute is worth watching just for the epic bromance moment between the two ("Darling.")

Well balls. Farewell Megaupload.

So American officials have with immediate effect shut down Megaupload.com.

There's a statement over here, looks like the book is being thrown at those involved. I guess MU is not coming back any time soon, if at all.

ETA: Bwhahaha - REVENGE!! Ah hell, it won't change anything, but that did amuse me.

ETA: God of Mischief

Oooh. Loki is nominated in the "Villain of the Year" category in the Virgin Media Movie Awards.

If you fancy it, do go and vote for him, even my mate who loathed the film thought Loki was fabulous :)
