The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: All your lists are belong to us!
WEDNESDAY
First of all, Barack Obama still wins as the geekiest president ever~
And now, my love affair with lists continues! Here are the Top 10 Emerging Stars of 2012, according to IMDb! Benny Batch and Hiddles are there!
Here’s another list, this time about motion posters~ Shouldn’t we just call them flash posters?
Bryan Singer officially welcomes Hugh Jackman into X-Men: Days of Future Past. He sure is happy about it! And so are we~
Talking about Singer, he’s the executive producer of the new Twilight Zone project. Yup, it wasn’t enough to remake The Munsters as Mockingbird Lane, Bryan Singer is now involved in this. Well, it’s not the first time they’ve remade Twilight Zone, so ok, I’ll give it a try.
Oh yeah, according to Joss Whedon, we almost had The Wasp in The Avengers and also a second villain along with Loki. The first one was because:
There was a little bit of time when we thought we might not actually get Scarlett.
And he has a script full of Janet Van Dyne and everything~ Regarding Loki, he wasn’t sure he alone would be enough of a threat to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Of course, Hiddles made him change his mind:
The ace in the hole is Tom Hiddleston, because he’s so compelling and commanding and gracious about it that it became, ‘Oh it’s about how he gets in their heads – it’s going to be fine. But it took me a long time to accept that because they need someone to hit!
Oh, Sir Ian McKellen, my love for you knows no bounds! He talks about the lack of women in Tolkien works, about awesome Cate Blanchett and how Christopher Lee wasn’t even there. Also, lol Figwit is back in The Hobbit, now properly named as Lindir!
Bret McKenzie knows being pretty pays off!
Finally, MTV has been doing an OMG Moments in Geek. And so far I’ve cared the most for two: the backstory of Marceline and Ice King in Adventure Time, and of course fan favorite Agent Phil Coulson from The Avengers (and other Marvel movies).
aw man Marceline and Lizzie Bennet and all the geeky things
@Diandra Rodriguez, Duuuuuude, the Marceline & Ice King song killed me! KILLED MEEEEE!!!
This magic keeps me alive //
But, it’s making me crazy //
And, I need to save you //
But, who’s going to save me? //
Please forgive me for whatever I do //
When I don’t remember you //
@mirella, tearrrsssssssss
“Top Ten characters of the year by MTV! I like them all except for 3 and 8.”
What’s wrong with Matthew McConaughey (Magic Mike) and Ezra Miller (Perks)? Both were easily the best parts of the movies MTV ranked them. Is it because they’re not geek-friendly?
@Rodrigo, exactly XDDDDDD Also both were pretty “meh” for me.
@mirella, Still better than nearly everyone in The Hunger Games. Considering this is MTV, I’m surprised they managed to ignore the people from The Hobbit (great film, btw) or Twilight (whom MTV sucks dick to).
Oh wait, it’s a Top 50 ranking. Joe (Looper), Silva (Skyfall), Bilbo (The Hobbit), Calvin (Django Unchained) are a bit too low in this last. And the likes of Snow White (Huntsman) and Arthur Kipps (The Woman in Black) shouldn’t be there, lol.
@Rodrigo, @Rodrigo, Yes about The Hobbit. I guess it was too soon for they to chose one character? I’m surprised about their lack of Twilight too even if I don’t give a fuck about that franchise :P
@Rodrigo, I would vote Ted off the Top10, push Silva up and kick Snow White out to include Theron’s Evil Queen instead.
@amy, Speaking of voting people off the Top 10, Loki needs to be lower — Silva shits all over Loki literally as a villain — and I’d add either Joe or Cid from Looper.
@mirella, Freeman’s Bilbo and a Twlight character appear lower in MTV’s ranking. But characters from Django Unchained are there and the film premieres on Christmas. I’m sure MTV has passes to see films in order to put them there.
@Rodrigo, Oh, I didn’t mean they mean they haven’t watched The Hobbit. Just that the buzz for those characters ain’t that hight yet, because they movie has only been there for a week. I’m guessing the lists is not only about MTV’s dudes personal favourites alone but also what generated more buzz on their sites. I guess while Twilight was a good buzz generator in MTV, the dudes doing the actual ranking didn’t like it that much XD
