I finally made a gifset of Ordinary Decent Criminal. Time stood still during that second gif. Oh my God.

What is that on the left you may ask. Well that is, apparently, Stephen's actual signature. This appeared on tumblr with the comment 'he's not even trying'. I laughed so hard.

Also the photo of Stephen from his performance as Macbeth showed up and I never wanted to time travel back to 2004 and be there in London so badly before. Good God, I'd get arrested so fast if I were there in the audience.

Look what Peter Capaldi did for his fangirls. Stephen, there are like 50 of us on tumblr. Give us something.

I obviously rewatched Firelight to celebrate my birthday movie-style (and as usual I rewatched Anything Else). If I were to make a list of best romantic movies, that would be in top 3. That scene where Sophie Marceau battles with sexual frustration as she watches him drying himself off as he is naked after swimming (which we see that through a foggy window, never forget, never forgive) was the most relatable thing I've ever seen in the movie.

I work in the courthouse and there is another one in the building next door. There was a bomb alarm this week and the building was evacuated. At 9 am. Everyone went home. Obviously that was in another building, not where I work. Because of course I cant even have luck in bad luck. Because of course if another building blows up, the one I work in, standing right next to it and at least 150 year old, will be fine and won't collapse at all. It was a fake alarm, though, since it's always people who are supposed to appear in court that day making these 'there's a bomb' calls to get out of having to appear in the court. Seriously, this happens at least once a month.

I got to be alone in the office today, everyone else went to some lecture. Oh it was glorious. I hope to have my own office one day, I so relate to Ron Swanson. And Stanley Hudson. I share his dream:

Do you see why Mr Dillane is my soulmate? We could be antisocial together <3

Further exploring my fucked up personality, I took another quiz and as usual I'm INTJ. This is so accurate that it's scary. Except for 'trouble showing feelings to a partner in a public place'. That is the opposite of truth. Curious? Let's just say no one ever got arrested.

There is a new poster for Gone Girl and yes, it's as terrible as the previous ones, if not more so. At least Rosamund is in it but good God, it looks so bad. From atrocious photoshop to seriously ridiculous design....who made those? They should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't say it a lot but truly, I could do better than this. Much better. In truth, a drunk money could do better than this.

The worst part is that they don't capture the story at all - what the fuck is this? Affleck staring at her and her looking all calm looking off at the distance? The only thing remotely connected to the story is the fact that Nick talks about his wife's head a lot. And I'm sure the fact this is where he is looking in that poster is by accident.

However there is also a pininterest account for Amy which is actually quite clever.

There are two new awesome TV spots (1,2) for the movie. Tyler Perry looks really great in the movie, I know people are sceptical but he is really a brilliant choice for his part.

I cannot freaking wait. It may actually kill me since I need to wait two weeks longer than others to see it - I only have time on weekends and the weekend it opens my friend who is seeing it with me is gonna be abroad so I have to wait for him to get back.

Fincher said that Gone Girl the book ‘had different endings’. Call me crazy but I saw one ending. David, did you read it while being high?

Seriously everyone is going insane about the ending. Between people who incorrectly claim the ending made no sense, Ben Affleck talking out of his ass about the entire third act being changed in the film and Fincher talking in some sort of strange code let me just say - just wait a month, shut up and watch the goddamn movie. It's Fincher. It's gonna be good.

Meanwhile let me just say that people defending Nick and calling Amy a ‘cunt’ are ridiculous. You are probably also the ones who didn’t like the book ending, which was the only possible ending to this story.

Did you think there are no more photos from that time DiCaprio got off the leash a few weeks back? There are!

I saw Morning Glory, Guess Who is Coming for Dinner and The Accused for Fisti's Twice a Best Actress thing. I really didn't like either the movie or Katherine Hepburn's performance in the first one. I feel when you guys read what I wrote about her you are gonna want to burn me because I get that she is an icon, but come on that was just so bad. I did like her in Guess..... though. The film was very charming and the final scene was very lovely and powerful. The Accused was just horrific. That rape scene must have been 20 minutes long. Awful, awful sequence. The worst thing is that it is not only based on real events - events like this happen in the world probably any other second.

I really like Julianne Moore but if she takes that Oscar away from Rosamund I’m gonna be seriously pissed off. There's this movie called Still Alice and she plays a woman who suffers from Alzheimer. This is the Oscar Bait the size of a fucking Hollywood sign. I'm so sick and tired of people getting Oscars because of "overdue" + "baity" combination. Let some fresh blood in.

Really all I want is for Steve Carrel and Rosamund to win. I know they are going to be great and their movies will probably top my end of the year list. They are just too much like the movies I adore for me to hate them.

There are new Mockingjay posters. I barely recognized Lawrence with her clothes on, pretense of dignity going on and no...stuff on her face. There's also a ridiculous trailer for Serena. I read the summary of the book once, because I can't find the actual book anywhere and it's a shame because it sounds like a great story, but this trailer in addition to being laughable completely lies about what the story is.

That leaked photos scandal won't die. Apparently a bunch of women from some social justice group is now undressing themselves and taking naked pics of themselves to show solidarity with irresponsible and let's just say it - dumb - women who are celebrities and took pics like these to begin with. By all means, have no respect for yourselves just like they did except do it with all the attention whoring propaganda you can master.

It's like stupid leading the stupid. I want to run. I want to leave. I want to escape from this fucked up planet. I want to get inside a rocket with Stephen Dillane and just live in space. Bye, everyone.

You may not think it's possible but the new American Horror Story: Freakshow teaser is even more horrifying than the last. There's also new poster. This is gonna be seriously scary.

We also have first trailer with the cast! It looks terrific! My God, Angela Bassett has three breasts!

EW also promotes the shit out of it, here is an interesting spoiler-filled article and there is also a lot about the upcoming season in new issue. "Even freakier than a tri-boob? This season’s main villain, a nasty fella (and murderer) named Twisty the Clown (John Carroll Lynch). The evil Bozo has retired in Jupiter and is not thrilled by the arrival of the freak show. “He’s out to make their lives a living hell,” explains Murphy. “He’s wearing a mask on the lower part of his face and there comes a point in the season where takes the mask off and when you see what’s under you will faint in terror.” - well the nightmares are coming

I saw Sin City: A Dame to Kill For which was nowhere near as terrible as people said it was. Sure, it was nowhere near the quality of the first one but at least it wasn't boring. And Eva Green was absolutely fabulous. I will be very surprised if she won't make my 2014 supporting actress line up. The film is worth seeing just for her.

I also saw Made in Dagenham, it was pretty good, but I expected something a little better with a cast like this. Sally Hawkins was good, but I mainly saw it for Rosamund Pike, who was great. Miranda Richardson stole the show, though.

I'm planning on making a special post about Rosamund so I'm gonna rewatch An Education tonight. I also have to rewatch Barney's Version, a movie I absolutely hated but she was fantastic in it.

Apparently Xavier Dolan is making a movie and Jessica Chastain is gonna be in it. Her part sounds very interesting.

Are you guys excited about Royal Baby2? Cause I am! I heard that David Beckham gave William and Kate the advice that they should sleep more. Oh yes. Poor William and Kate with their 100 nannies and beds with sheets made out of jewels and cash or something. At one point last week I didn't sleep for 37 hours and then I slept for an hour and then went to work for 8 hours. So yes, the royal couple are the ones who desperately need sleep.
