I am not amused!!! First of all what were the casting team of Dr Who thinking when they cast the new Dr. Who?? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7808697.stm <— check out the BBC site who got an interview with 26 year old Matt Smith. He is the youngest actor to play Dr Who which I have no problem with but OMG you have to check out the interview you will see what I mean. He looks like a guy out of rehab. He just creeps me out. I can see there being an uproar about it. Although I have got a theorey. Maybe this is all a clever plan. Make us all angry and get lots of publicity and notice. Then “fire him” due to fan unhappiness and then unveil a much more suitable candiate. Please god let me right. I am normally right so please don’t make this the exception. I was talking to a very dear friend of mine who happens to be a massive Dr Who fan. While discussing our hatrid for the man suggested an unlikely yet suitable candiate. Richard E Grant.
Now I would have never thought of him myself but now I think about it I think he would make a fabulous doctor. He has years of experience and I think he would really make a good edition. So if anyone happens to know Russel Davies or can at least get within slapping distance. Give him one from me and yell Richard E Grant rocks.
Now to another screen related annoyance only it’s the big one I am talking about. Twilight! The most hyped up movie I think since Harry Potter. Now I have never read that particular collection of books but another friend of mine has the entire collection and can practically recite it at this point. So you can imagine her the movie was announced. I went to see it last night for the first time last night (it was her third). Quite excited to see it to be honest after all the hype. Unfortunately I left thinking what was all the fuss about. Yes it had it’s moments but it didn’t leave a huge effect on me. It had some really good effects at one point. For example when they were ascending up a very large tree with great speed. It was incredible done. But then they had some really sloppy moments too. They had some really bad CGI rain, I mean really bad. Then to add insult to injury the truck driving in the really bad CGI rain “forgot” it’s windscreen wipers. So not overly impress with the editing. As for the actors eh they were ok. Won’t win an oscar. Robert Pattinson was very good in Harry Potter so I was looking forward to seeing him play as a main character. But I wasn’t overly impressed and the make up artists made him look terrible. I have seen bloopers were he looks quite handsome and not half bad looking. But after all the effects they do on him after he looks horrible. He literally looks like skin and bone, on the face anyway. I understand they were going for the whole death look but he does him no favours. I wasn’t particularly keen on Kristan Stewart who plays Bella. She was a bit I don’t know…bland. The whole movie as bland really. In fact there is a quote from the movie I think would work here “it’s like a human eating tofu all their life, sure it keeps you strong. But you are never satisfied.”
Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
