This is not gonna be...varied. I did three things this week. I occasionally slept. I worked hard (still got yelled at, though). And I fangirled like crazy over Mark Ruffalo and especially his character in Begin Again.

Watching Begin Again was fun. Halloween, 3 AM and I'm yelling KISS HIM YOU FOOL at my computer. Then it turned into dramatic rendition of DON'T WALK AWAY followed by RUN AFTER HER, MARK! and then it was just a lot of ugly sobbing.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Why would you end that movie this way?

This scene which I obviously gifed has now become my favorite scene of the year. Mother of God this defeated Amy Dunne.

The way he grabbed her hand and pulled her into that club (above, first gif in the post)...I am not emotionally, psychologically or you know, in general equipped to handle all of this.

Seriously those of you who are fine with the ending - look at above gifs - are you telling me that this is how friends look at each other?

There are people calling Ruffalo's character Dan a 'hobo idiot' .

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

This so serious. I made 3 gifsets of him already. Check out this one I made. My karma should be awesome for bringing you all of this.

The third gif is so important. The third gif in bottom row is important too. All of them are really very important:

Dan had issues in the beginning but when he started to get his life together he was so sweet and cool. I'd date the shit out of this guy. I loved everything about him. His clothes. His references. His dance moves. So good.

Also - comparing to me he is a picture of emotional stability. I'm being absolutely serious here. You think this guy is a mess? You've seen nothing.

Oh man if I was fangirling before, this is now the next level of fangirling - double fangirling when it's the actor and the character at the same time.

I know I gave the movie 7,5 but I think the most accurate measure of how much I like a film regardless of its flaws is how many gifs from it I made. This is just from this week. and I so rarely do subtitles because it's more hassle but boy, was it worth to do that here. "JODIE FOSTER FROM TAXI DRIVER!!!"

I also saw The Brothers Bloom. It was very stylish and the cast was great but the script was so scattered - what was the point? The whole intrigue was almost impossible to follow and I did watch the movie very intently. I really like Rian Johnson but I have no idea what the hell that movie was supposed to be. I don't know, maybe I was just overwhelmed by all the moments Mark almost got shot, pretended he got shot or actually got shot. That was distressing.

So after I watched it I was going through the descriptions of movies with Mark and I found the one where he plays a sex addict.

Obviously I had to see it immediately.

Jesus Christ. That gifset has 40,000 notes by the way.

Oh yeah what about a movie you may ask. Well it was called Thanks for Sharing and it was actually quite nice indie movie, Gwyneth Paltrow playing (although is it playing if you are technically being yourself?) stuck up bitch again aside. It was less heavy than Shame but more serious than Don Jon.

I also saw Just Like Heaven and Normal Heart but let's leave the thoughts on those for the next RF because we are about to overdose on sexy gifs.

Yes I literally done so much Ruffling this week one RF won't take it all.

I'm gonna see In the Cut tonight. Few days ago I took a quick peak and I blushed. There is some serious Meg Ryan moans like crazy and for a good reason shit in there.

I see a lot of people referring to Mark that he plays everyman roles, ordinary guys. Excuse me, but in what universe is all of that lovely ordinary? And if it is - where exactly are those guys?

And finally - I think someone should have a serious boundaries talk with Chris Evans

Ask and you shall receive - you know how I talk of the magic of Halloween? Well, miracles happen on Halloween. And I have an actual proof to show you that they do:

That's right. It's the second picture of Stephen hanging out with the cast of Game of Thrones. This is more rare than a picture of UFO or Lena Dunham looking like an actual human being.

The scruff! The scruff!

You gotta love Carice's cat ears and the fact she actually stood up and got out of the way not to block people.

I decided to postpone the blogathon, I'm not sure when I'll announce it. There have been fewer comments here lately, given how many blogs I do visit the feedback isn't great, so it doesn't look like it's a good time for a blog event. That would be my what? Second blogathon? So I just want more than 5 people to join.

Also I'm really exhausted - I was the only assistant with 3 judges this week (normally we get 2) with a work load for two weeks to do in 5 days. I cannot extend my fingers fully because I typed so much they are in spasm.

Idris Elba made me laugh so hard this week. His comments on Thor 2 were so brutally honest. I think it was horrible of him to complain like that but the way this article is written and imagining stuff he is talking about combined with his pride of Mandela (really?) is hysterical. "‘24 hours ago, I was Mandela.’ When I walked into the set the extras called me Madiba. I was literally walking in this man’s boots." - this is so fucking hilarious.

I was gonna scold Nolan but he backed out of these claims. Bitchy bullet point avoided.

Robert Downey Jr.'s baby girl was born! And of course she was given a seriously strange name.

In other news Benedict Cumberbatch got engaged. Can you hear the sound of hearts breaking, gigantic boxes of ice cream and wine bottles being opened and Sarah Maclachlan's songs playing in the background?
