The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: You say good-bye, I say hello!

MONDAY

I am digging these Star Trek Into Darkness covers in Empire Magazine. It also gave me an excuse to ship covers!

My precious!

Yeah, someone already uploaded the Star Trek Into Darkness feature article. This part made me LOL:

When Benedict Cumberbatch sits back with a glass of something this New Year’s Eve, reflecting on his 2012, he will be thinking many things. “But the main thing I’m going to be thinking,” he says, “as I sit with my copy of Empire, with me on the cover and Chris on the other is, ‘Goddammit, he really is much better looking than me, isn’t he?'”

BTW, cover boys Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman talked about their scenes in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Scrooge McBaggins, that was cute~

Empire also gave us this lovely article with Tom Hiddleston, who apparently wanted to direct Thor: The Dark World. I for one welcome our Loki-Director!

I did ask, half-jokingly, Kevin Feige about directing Thor 2 and he said, ‘Do you have something to show me?’ I said no. He said, ‘If you made something and showed me, I might consider it.’ But it’s better for the world that he said no. It would be such a responsibility, but I think I’d enjoy it.

Oh, Hiddles, you lovely crazy mofo, did you really think Kevin Feige will give you millions to make a movie with nothing to show for?

Game of Thrones is the most pirated show of this year! Congrats?

TUESDAY

Empire talks with Richard Armitage about The Hobbit: There And Back Again. He sounds pretty excited about the “Battle of Five Armies”, which makes me excited in return~

J.J. Abrams was offered the new Star Wars movie… but he declined out of loyalty to Star Trek. I’m glad you did, J.J. Abrams. Nobody should be in charge of both Star Wars and Star Trek. It’s too much geek power!

After Doctor Who got a funny, sassy, dramatic and wtf-worthy Christmas special, BBC finally released the trailer for the new episodes to come:

And here’s lovely posh Eddie Redmayne talking about Les Misérables, but more importantly about how he likes comic book movies:

I go and see those films and the ones are good I absolutely love, and the ones that aren’t I don’t so much.  But having seen things like Andrew and Emma’s performance in Spider-Man, you know it’s often that the scale of the pieces can make an audience think that there’s so much going on that you sort of forget that there are brilliant things being done by the actors in the middle of it.  And same thing with The Avengers and I’m lucky enough to have worked with some of these actors and some of them are friends.  And so you do go in from an actor’s point of view scrutinizing that.  and I think through The Dark Knight Rises and all these other films there’s is a weightiness that is being given to these pieces now that, for me, is so much more extraordinary than when they felt more light.

  1. I will play the sequel generator…once I’m more awake.

    out of the Snow White adaptations, the only one I want to see is the black-and-white “Blancanieves” from this year.

    somehow I imagine Star Wars wouldn’t work with all that lensflare…when I was dragged to Transformers 2, I amused myself by counting the lensflare. I can’t find where I posted the totals but it was only 1/3 or 1/5 of the lensflare someone else counted in Star Trek IX. I’d be too busy enjoying a rewatch to count the lensflare there.

  2. lol I just waited until the soccer game I was watching reached halftime. Here’s my favorite result from the generator: http://chrryblssmninja.tumblr.com/post/39143412156

    My Tina Fey-written and Whedon directed sequel starring Nathan Fillion ended on a positive note (of pretty good profit) saying Whedon is the king of nerds and that his version rises above the basic Hero’s Journey xD I’m content. LOL
