i panicked and overturned my desk
I keep meaning to post about other things or fix my filters so I can read more than a day's worth of posts, but then I get distracted.
Chris Hemsworth is in OUT. The article and pics are here, but my rambles and the good bits are below the cut.
-"After a brief turn in the 2009 Star Trek reboot-he played Captain Kirk’s father and was killed by Romulans in the first five minutes-Hemsworth was contemplating quitting and heading back to Australia. Out of luck and work, he paid the rent by babysitting his manager’s kids." Second sentence and I'm already dead. Can you imagine the way the other nannies and housewives in that neighborhood must have swarmed?
-Sir Kenneth Branagh says Hemsworth “is built like a concrete shipyard and looks very fetching with his shirt off.” Preach.
-Super long quote, but it makes a really solid point: "Thor propelled Hemsworth to the A-list, joining an elite band of emerging leading men, a new Brat Pack looking 21st-century movie stardom, lantern-jawed, in the mirror. They might, more assiduously, be dubbed the Frat Pack-it’s not a cerebral school of acting. What it lacks of the new intellectual British school of post-Daniel Craig tortured souls (Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy), it makes up for in effortless sports-bar cheer. You’d trust every one of them with a basketball. They are adorable, in person, as on film. And Hemsworth is the most likely to break out of this mold and achieve Hollywood mega-fame." The article mentions Liam Hemsworth and Channing Tatum by name (they call Chan "the alpha male of this new pack", but I assume this also includes Evans and Alex Pettyfer and shit. I feel like my type was always those intellectual Brits and now I just want a muscular bro to, like, snuggle.
-"it’s apparent, five minutes into talking to him, that he’s possibly the straightest man alive." You can almost hear the reporter's sadness.
-Did you know that his wife is pregnant? I did not! They went on vacation with Matt Damon and his ladywife.
-"Hemsworth has a judicious balance of humility and ambition. He gets a little “aw, shucks” shy at any mention of his evident physical advantage. His ego is in direct in verse to his musculature. He is a man’s man with enough sensitivity to appeal to the girls and gays. Onscreen, he’s possessed of the unique ability to make superheroes look human. And being simultaneously hard and soft is tougher than he makes it look." Why is this cast perfect? WHY?
-"Hemsworth was brought up the middle child of three brutally handsome, strapping, field-hand-type brothers in Melbourne, Australia." Oh Christ, there's another one. FIND HIM AND BRING HIM TO ME.
-"“My mum always used to say to me that, out of her three boys, ‘Chris, you were the girl,’ ” he recalls." So, basically, he and Evans are the same person with different accents?
Let's look at pictures:
Let's stop looking at pictures. I am dizzy now.
And while I've got you on the horn, here are the tv spots for Iron Man and Thor.
