So, um! We can definitely add Michael Sheen to my “people I am inexplicably kind of in love with” list.

omg.

Oh.

:O

I can’t unsee this

Little Known Fact About Danielle! Whenever she is feeling particularly lousy or depressed, she buys DVDs. Today was um, not a good day.

On the plus side, I have more shiny DVDs! I’ve actually seen and adore them all, but OH, I love In The Loop like burning. Have you guys seen it yet? YOU SHOULD. If I were to say that “it is a fantastic film, wonderful and hilarious and amazing,” it would be a gross understatement, a statement so under it likely resides within the earth’s core; alternatively: Australia.

(And I just noticed that Derren Brown is, rather alarmingly, staring out at you from the bottom right hand side of the photo. Sorry about that.)

There are so many things I love about this picture! All of things! Everything!

Shane Black’s wicked script and the spot on timing of Robert Downey Jr., and most especially Val Kilmer as the hilariously named detective Gay Perry, made Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang the most badass piece of film noir since Fred MacMurray dropped dead in Double Indemnity. But this was before Robert Downey’s big return to the limelight, back when he was still in recovery mode and everyone still seemed to be boycotting him. So this murder mystery went unwatched and what should have been Robert Downey’s coming out party ended up on dusty, video store shelves where it was eventually shoved out of the way to make room for more copies of Iron Man. But it’s better than Iron Man and ten times more fun. The chemistry between Kilmer and Downey is spot on, they’re a classic on screen duo the kind which deserves a whole series of movies. Now the continuing adventures of Harry Lockhart and Gay Perry will never happen and all I can do is plead with you to hop on to Netflix and give Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang a chance.

I’d happily give up Iron Man 2 and Sherlock Holmes if it meant I’d get to see Harry and Gay Perry again.

^Iron Man 2, yes; Sherlock Holmes, no.

But yeah, this movie is awesome, and heinously underrated.

Oh man, I remember seeing Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in the cinema in 2005 and then telling like, everyone I knew that it was amazing and they all just politely nodded and vaguely promised that they’d go see it BUT THEY DIDN’T ಥ_ಥ And then I read an interview with RDJ years later saying that he was heartbroken KKBB bombed, and I felt like I had personally let him down. I don’t know what I’m talking about anymore.

(And for other unfairly overlooked films, see: Zodiac. It’s so overlooked, it didn’t even make that list.)

December’s A Month of Sundays turns into A Month of Matinees as Simon Pegg hosts the first of four shows presented by British actors or directors.

Writer, comedian and director Simon Pegg launches A Month of Matinees with two hours of music that’s helped to shape his career and personal life. Simon takes us back to the days of being a Goth, which he decided wasn’t for him following a painful wardrobe malfunction. We hear of scrapes with Jay Z, Coldplay’s Chris Martin walking around with his trousers down and attacking Zombies with limited edition vinyl. The Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz star gives us an insight into the thinking process behind these scripts and where he gets his inspiration from. And yes Trekky fans, Simon tells us what it’s like to operate the Starship Enterprise.

The other presenters for A Month of Matinees are Martin Freeman (13th Dec), Edgar Wright (20th Dec) and Bill Nighy (27th Dec).

I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited about this!

Decided to give up on Twilight 2, so I am listening to this right now! It is wonderful. Can’t even begin to explain how excited I am to hear Edgar’s one. (omg and Martin Freeman’s! And Bill Nighy’s! They picked the greatest people for this thing.)
