So Brideshead Revisited. My God, some women are stupid. Hayley Atwell's character in this movie for example. She literally chooses God - as in the concept that is not proven - over being with Goode's character.

You know what? I bet if God existed when that bitch died and knocked on Heaven's door you know what he'd say? You gave up this? Go away.

She gave him up because he was divorced so if she married him she couldn't confess anymore. There are about 100 more abominable things about Catholic Church but yeah, this is one of the dumbest and hypocritical rules these people have. Marry once. Didn't work out? You'll gonna be punished for this for the rest of your life.

I'm actually surprised the Academy didn't go for that movie - it was lavish, epic, it span many decades...it was actually a really good movie. Idiot female character aside.

The protagonist of Imagine me & you wasn't much brighter but at least she wanted to give Goode up for red haired Lena Headey. That's at least in the realm of not-completely-batshit.

How was everyone's Valentine's? Here's the yorkie Valentine ---->

I also saw that new J.Lo movie The Boy Next Door. A woman bangs 19-year old guy. Ew for me but for some women I understand it's hot that a guy is younger? Anyways of course he is psychotic. The film was actually so stupid it was funny.

I started watching House of Cards 2. I was not a big fan of season 1 and season 2 is even worse. Yeah that train moment was shocking but who stands in Francis' way now? The show has no compelling characters that could compete with him. It's not like Bullock and Al in Deadwood or Lannisters vs Starks in Game of Thrones. It's just watching Francis scheme not even with a lot of effort. And they made Claire a rape victim now? Why? Why does there always need to be a reason for female character to be cold? Hell, even GoT managed not to fuck up female character like that because some of the female characters there, even under D&D reign of crap and 'we don't have the time for interesting stuff but enjoy another brothel moment' some characters are still depicted as simply being born cruel. I love you so much Cersei.

I went to see Fifty Shades late Tuesday evening. For more of my views on this thing check out my review.

I don't make love.

I fuck.

HARD.

I'm seriously still laughing at this line and it's been 3 days.

Yesterday I decided to do treat myself day and what does this mean to me? Junk food and British accents. So I smuggled a cheeseburger into the cinema like a badass that I am and I saw Kingsman. It was so much fun! I'm sure by now you guys heard about that church scene and it really is incredible, my jaw was like on the floor and I was so seriously turned on watching 1. Colin Firth wearing a suit 2. slaughtering religious freakshow 3. to the tune of that insane guitar solo from Free Bird. Each of these things separately turns me on, but combine these 3 together?

Wow.

I hated Kick Ass (worst movie ever) and Layer Cake but this time Vaughn surprised me, though obviously I was horrified when they showed the close up of that scared little pug! But the film was really entertaining and the choice of music was splendid. I swear to God hearing Slave to Love always gets me into quite the mood. This film was seriously sexy which was nice seeing how Fifty Shades and Dornan's face and general awfulness puts you at the risk of considering asexuality as a hobby.

Seriously go see this film, it's so bitchin'. I've been listening to Free Bird like a maniac for the last 24h.

J.B.!:

Sophie Turner is back promoting GoT which is a terrible fucking thing. The things that come out of her mouth are so irresponsible. In a week's time she mentioned she misses her mother Catelyn and that season 5 is more shocking than RW. If Stoneheart is indeed back, that's cool but if all she is referring to is For the Watch moment I'll hate her even more.

Crimson Peak! Yes it is kinda iffy that we actually got to see the ghosts in the actual first trailer for the movie, but I think considering the state of horror these days it looks fantastic. The acting, mainly by Hiddleston looks really wonderful and the visual side is gorgeous. And PJ Harvey makes everything better. Also it actually looks like an emotive turn from Chastain which is always fun, I really don't like the performances where she just wanders around aimlessly like in Interstellar. Eureka! Oh, shut up.

Lena Headey is pregnant! I know this is not my business, but I bet Pedro Pascal knocked her up.

I've started watching It's always sunny in Philadelphia. So far I like it a lot, it's quite funny and I'm in need of a good comedy to watch after work. I have 2 days off which I took because I am so freaking old and I'm no longer able to sit all night and watch the Oscars and go to work afterwards. Ah, the days of university life when I used to watch the ceremony and then took the exam the next day and passed. So I don't have to be at work for the next 4 days which is wonderful. I'm sure there is some catastrophic news or a shitload of work waiting for me when I return, though.

My country has gone absolutely insane. It's only Friday evening and they are talking about Oscars non fucking stop. If Ida loses there may be people crying on the streets.

And yes, I shall live tweet the ceremony semi-drunk again, as tradition dictates.
