More of your conversation would infect my brain
Today's Tumblr collection is Tuesday, February 18: Tattoos.
I'll be trying this exercise to loosen up hamstrings and quads at the same time. I need to get some more and better yoga blocks, though, 'cos the ones I have kind of suck.
Hey, if you have a Capitol One credit card, you might think about canceling it. Unless you especially like unannounced visitors to your house.
This looks pretty fucking amazing.
I've decided I have very little to say about about Coriolanus beyond HOMFG SEE IT IF YOU CAN. Tom Hiddleston is, of course, amazing, but the woman who plays his mother Volumnia (Deborah Findlay), is good past language. Just HOLY SHIT INCREDIBLE. I'll be honest, I was occasionally distracted by Hiddleston's hotness and occasionally caught myself thinking "wait, what?" Especially when he did things like stand straddling two chairs. Or walk around in a translucent robe. Or sit with his legs spread and crotch pointed at the camera. Or appear covered in blood and wearing jeans that were designed by divine inspiration. There were only two weak spots: Coriolanus's son and wife. The son--well, kid actors are always hit and miss, especially in theater. The wife, though. I mean, the part of Virgilia doesn't give an actor much to work with. She mostly sits (or stands) around and cries. She has some pretty good lines at the very beginning and the actress makes the most of them. I don't understand why they didn't cast someone who could cry on cue, though. She makes a fine ugly-cry face, but tears would've been really helpful. Also, how in the world they managed to cast someone who had no chemistry with Tom Hiddleston is beyond me. She had some fierce competition because the chemistry between Coriolanus and his mother is amazing (seriously, I completely believe that this man is 99% the result of his being raised by this woman). But come on.
So yeah, those were my only quibbles. I loved the costuming (I'm going to do my damnedest to make his first-act costume, including the armor--wish me luck), I loved the sets, I loved the direction. I loved it. A lot.

I saw that Penny Dreadful trailer last night and thought exactly the same thing. I may need to work on how I can download content on my GenieGo, or host viewing nights, eh?
I have to make mention to you that once True Detective makes DVD that you watch it. There are fabulous literary nods to horror fiction, and besides, it's simply brilliant.
Ooh I do hope Capital One sends Samuel Jackson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYb96YuaKzo) over!

Matthew McConaughey made a good decision to wait for the roles that he felt were better for him. He outcreeps Woody Harrelson in this show, and that's saying a lot.

Will post more later but yeah it was hard to pay attention to what was going on at times and, uh, even the blood on his teeth was sexy.

I should probably order a new yoga mat, too. My old one is starting to shed. Ew.
