More Tom Hiddleston! I am actually looking much more forward to Joanna Hogg's new film 'Exhibition' than to 'The Avengers'. I adore Loki, but I think Hiddleston shows the full range of his abilities in Joanna Hogg's movies. Unfortunately though, he only has a supporting role!

It's HEEERE!
With so much more Loki! What can I say? Pale and beautiful like a china doll! I like his new hair! An oscar for his hair stylist!
Also, Thor looks better than ever! This time they left his eyelashes alone and went for a warmer, softer blond! Result: Stunning eyes, natural looking (if quite long) hair.
Oh, and my new crush: Idris Elba! How gorgeous is this man?

A few months ago Lucius Complex and I had a chat where we started joking about poor Tom Hiddleston's hair and weight ordeal. Then she went and wrote me an incredibly funny, hilarious crack fic for my birthday in which Tom Hiddleston is too nice as we already know and doesn't get a shirtless scene, which is clearly a tragedy!
Go here for: The Hairy Side of Hollywood (Gen)
Really, I have the bestest friends in the world!

What do you think? Loki looks awfully cheerful here!
What do you say to Loki's hair now? Aren't his curls adorable? Is he thinner than in The Avengers? Or is it just the camera angle?
*swooning*
Okay, who else thinks that Loki will die in this film? He looks so somber and a bit elegic :D

This essay resonates with me, especially because for Asian women beauty was always an important part of identity.
In my personal environment I experienced that Asian women can be obsessive about beauty, but for my Western friends looking "naturally" good wasn't less important because to openly care about beauty, to admit to care about it, seems socially less acceptable in say, Germany than in Japan.

Things that made laugh today :D
Actual conversation between Odin and Loki in Thor :D
Jeremy Renner is a BRAVE Hawkeye.
This motto. I like it.
Another deleted scene from The Avengers because THAT must have happened at some point!
Also, Pinterest is getting tired of me re-pinning Hiddleston :D
(I still can't embed images into my posts so apologies for the links!)

All reviews (except the HitFlix review perhaps) have good things to say about Only Lovers Left Alive, almost all agreeing that Tom Hiddleston and especially Tilda Swinton were made for playing vampires, the music is cool (Yasmine Hamdan!) and is nice to look at, although even the friendliest review admits that there isn't that much plot.
To me that isn't a bad thing actually. My favourite movies with Tom Hiddleston are the two movies he made with Joanna Hogg, Unrelated and Archipelago, which no-one would call "plot-driven" in a conventional sense.
Gathering from the overall tone of the reviews I feel that Only Lovers Left Alive might be a similar exercise as Dead Man, one of the Jim Jarmusch movies I liked (besides Ghostdog and Stranger Than Paradise); an aesthetic, cerebral take on a classic genre, that is humorous but also reverent at the same time.
Have a look at the reviews. I don't think Only Lovers Left Alive relies on a plot that can be "spoiled" but just in case you still want to avoid it, I put the more "revealing" reviews under an extra cut.

The press conference about the film is quite long (40:42) so only for die-hard fans ;)
I've never seen a full-length press conference at Cannes before, so I don't know if the journalists would be that friendly if the film would have been terrible, but the gathered journalists looked as if they really liked the film :)
Here is a shorter interview (10:48) with a French TV show, where Jim Jarmusch reveals he (and John Hurt) are Anti-Stratfordians :D
I am relieved that the film had a good reception. The press kit looked quite bad, as did the teaser clips (to me) but Twitter responses were very positive. Still, that press conference seems uncomfortable—as if, despite their assurances of adoration and friendship, they're actually not comfortable with each other.
In other news, it was confirmed that Tom Hiddleston will be shirtless for 50% of the film.
My life is complete.

Contrary to many others on LJ I am not yet tired of vampires and zombies yet, although we have been flooded with tv-shows and movies in the recent years. While some of the zombie movies were very good, like 28 Days Later, Simon Pegg's Shawn Of The Dead or Zombieland, the only vampire-related movie that comes to my mind is the unfortunate Twilight series. It would be nice if Jarmusch's movie could be another Hunger which is to me one of the more interesting ways to deal with that subject, or Ferrara's Addiction which was a rather violent and hysterical take, but the more I see of the film, the less it appears to be as unique as it wants to be.

So, what doust thou say?
I am not impressed by the unproportioned pink Fractura they used, nor by Adam's or Eve's character bio. Also the fact they uploaded the wrong file (Mia Wasikowska's bio is still a Lorem Ipsum placeholder text) isn't quite promising. Mistakes happen everywhere of course, but I can't help but thinking that everyone involved treats this as an afterthought, including the people in Cannes who are reponsible of scheduling the entries: Only Lovers Left Alive will be shown one or two days before the festival finishes).

Of course he is :D but the interesting question is, did Tom Hiddleston deliberately play him gay? Was it intentional? I can't trust my own instincts since I am a slash lover, and to me 99,9% of men are gay or bi, (even The Beau, who I tried to match with some of my gay friends and encourage to experiment with his better looking friends).
Which is why I liked that piece about Hiddleston's Loki being gay. See, it's not only me! :D

Io, and behold!

I predict plenty of new excitement and turmoil about Tom Hiddleston's emo-coiffure! Tumblr and Pinterest are already near collapse!

Apr. 29th, 2013 20:23All right, as usual Caro is late to the party but: I am in love.
Matthew McConaughey. Tatum Channing. Alex Petyfer. (Almost) Naked.

Hyperventilates.

As I (and at least 500.000 other fans) expected, Tom Hiddleston won the MTV Award for BEST VILLAIN!
I am glad my obsessive pushing the voting button on the MTV website several times a day for the last few weeks paid! I guess me and countless other ladies are now on Ibuprofen for the next weeks, medicating our tendonitis :P
Also, in other news, I have now OVER 1000 images on my Tom Hiddleston board on Pinterest! ONE THOUSAND!
Clearly I need therapy.

This has been the week of Caro being SPOILED ROTTEN!
After the first, wonderful part And Thank You For Staying of her series Flawed Design the incredibly talentedlucius_complex has uploaded the second part, Oyster Sashimi, Olive Martini.
Especially since I am kind of a one-trick-pony, I admire writers likelucius_complex who can write heartbreaking, elegic fic and then turn around and just shake comedy out of their sleeve. How do they do that?
Oyster Sashimi, Olive Martini is lighthearted and easy going: irresponsible, reckless Tony who happens to stumble over a certain god of mischief on his balcony! Drunkenness and banter ensue! Also: drama queen Loki! If you love your Tony Stark snappy and sharp, you'll love this!
( Wait! I nearly forgot the enticement! Let me entice you! )

First time ever!
The lovelybarb2210 translated my fic Invisible into Russian!
I am so incredibly happy and flattered and ... wow! Translated into another language! How cool is that? Do I have Russian-speaking friends on my flist per chance? :D
Also, the artist Anastasia Mantihora contributed two very, very beautiful and lovely illustrations! Even if you don't speak Russian—the illustrations alone are so worth popping over and looking at them! Her Snape is so perfect! If you want to see more of her works, I have linked to her DA account, click on her name :)
*Bouncing with happiness*
