Count me in for Absolute Zero - I do love a good alien invasion tale.
ReplyDeleteWe do love sf shows, too bad SyFy always makes them supercheap and trashy
DeleteThe Theory of Everything will be tough to watch. But I'm betting Eddie Redmayne will probably get some award love for the part. :)
ReplyDeleteOscar stories for him already started around the net today
DeleteTheory of Everything looks interesting, but Ghost Brigade sounds right up my alley. As does Absolute Zero.
ReplyDeletewe do love them sf
DeleteIs it wrong that I laughed in the Theory of Everything trailer when he receives his voice and she said "its American" "Is that a problem?"
ReplyDeleteit is mildly hilarious :)
DeleteI find it funny
DeleteI did too. Bloody Americancentric Yanks! "Is that a problem?"
Deleteit would have been for me :)
DeleteThanks I feel normal....I am easily amused, so sometimes I question myself.
DeleteSome Americans think he is an American because of that.
DeleteI'm not surprised,Annzie
Delete@David
Deletewe;re all crazy here and proud of it, no need to excuse yourself :)
Oh my gosh, the Stephen Hawking movie looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteshould be a touching one especially with Eddie's charismatic acting
DeleteIt looks like Eddie Redmayne is going to give a brilliant performance as Stephen Hawking! Hello Oscar?
ReplyDeleteone is in due order for him
DeleteMaybe something is wrong with me, but I do not find Jamie Dornan attractive at all. And I usually think those Irish lads are pretty hunky.
ReplyDeleteThe Theory of Everything will be amazing. That's the kind of movie that both my husband and I really take an interest in.
I do find him attractive, but that is because I've known him for a long time and I know how modest he is in his private life. He is a mix of modest and naughty for me.
DeleteAh, yes, modesty can be an attractive trait. I guess if I followed his private life, then maybe it would be a different story for me.
DeleteYou speak heresy Theresa :0)
Deletehe recently said that he considers himself unattractive and skinny. I wanted to spank his (naked) bum for saying such nonsense :)
DeleteEddie Redmayne looks as though he will give a wonderful performance in The Theory of Everything , as will Felicity Jones.
ReplyDeletehe is always truly amazing in his roles because he has those expressive eyes of his
DeleteThe Stephen Hawking movie does sound interesting. I had no idea he was once healthy and progressed toward his disease until I started reading about this movie.
ReplyDeleteyep, and he also left his wife for one of his nurses :)
DeleteI won't be watching 50 Shades of Grey as that novel was utter trash. But me loves Jamie Still. I don't know the story of Jadotville and that's one I'd watch.
ReplyDeleteThe Theory of Everything will be well received I think. Hawking is now over 70. Looks like the doctors underestimated him a tad.
Of course we won't watch 50 SHEDS OF GREY, dahlink! We boo and hiss at that horrid book. But we do j'adore JamieDORnan :)
DeleteOld Man's War was a damn good read, good series of books.
ReplyDeletehope the series will be as good, Fran
