MAN LOVE RULES OK's Blog

This is how my life feels right now:

...just not as funny.

=/

Anybody who knows me well knows that I am a Simon Pegg and Nick Frost fan. Spaced and Hot Fuzz are pretty much my favourite things in existence (I like Shaun of the Dead too, I was just a bit traumatised by it when I was twelve by Dylan Moran getting torn into pieces by the undead horde outside The Winchester). And I also found out via Twitter that I share a birthday with Nick Frost. Life is good.

But anyways... back to the point.

Imagine how excited I was when I came across stills from two of Simon Pegg's upcoming movies.

Burke and Hare

Burke and Hare is a black comedy based on the grisly murders that occurred in Edinburgh between November 1827 and October 1828. Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis respectively portray the title characters of William Burke and William Hare, two Irish immigrants who murdered 17 victims and sold their corpses to Dr. Robert Knox, a lecturer on Medical Science at the Edinburgh Medical College.

The film also stars Tom Wilkinson (The Full Monty, Shakespeare in Love, Rock'n'Rolla) as Dr. Robert Knox and Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Hot Rod) with Jessica Hynes (Spaced, Learners), Bill Bailey (Spaced, Black Books, Never Mind The Buzzcocks), Stephen Merchant (co-writer of The Office, Extras), Hugh Bonneville (Notting Hill, Iris, Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story) and Tim Curry (Duh... It's Tim Curry) rounding out the cast. It also witnesses the return to directing features for John Landis (The Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf in London, 'Thriller'. Yes... THE Thriller).

That is pretty much a who's who in British drama and entertainment. So needless to say, my hopes for this film is high. Anyone who has seen Big Nothing knows that Pegg can pull off the darker shades of comedy, and Andy Serkis is... well... Andy Serkis.

I have to admit though, I'm somewhat disappointed, because David Tennant was originally attached to play Hare but had to pull out (I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the pilot of NBC's Rex Is Not Your Lawyer clashing with pre-production of this. So *sticks middle finger up* fuck you NBC) and even though Andy Serkis is awesomely awesome, the thought of Simon Pegg and David Tennant together (for me) would've been completely amazing. Although I probably would've spent the entirety of the movie with my pants off and thrusting my hips up at the screen. So maybe it's not such a bad thing for the other movie patrons. =/

So now you may be wondering where Nick Frost comes into all of this. Well... he doens't. Not for Burke and Hare at least.

 Paul

Paul, a comedy film starring and co-written by Pegg and Frost, is about two British comic book/Sci-Fi fans who come across an escaped alien (voiced by Seth Rogan) from Area 51 while roadtripping across America.

Directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland), this film isn't to be confused with the final installment of the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy (That's The World's End, and although it hasn't been written in stone, it's more than likely going to involve aliens as well. I mean, come on. Mint cornetto = green = Aliens). 

Also involved with the film is Jason Bateman (Arrested Development, Juno), Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live, Knocked Up), Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs), Jane Lynch (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Glee), Sigourney Weaver (Alien trilogy, Ghostbusters) and Blythe Danner (Meet the Parents, Gwyneth Paltrow's Mum).

Seriously, that cast has me weeping for joy at the moment.

 Both films are set to be released later in 2010.

Tim Bisley thanks you for your time.

Hahaha... I was just handed a letter and story I wrote to my grandparents when I was like, five or so. So I thought I would share the hilariousness (and probably embarrassment) of it.

DEAR NANNA AND POPPY,

THIS WAS A VERY SAD STORY ABOUT A KING WITH A WIFE THAT DIED.

I love you but this is a sad story.

and Aunty Sue and Aunty Merryn and Uncle Nick and Aunty Sandy

I have been doing kicks and blocks and punches at Karate. I've been doing lots of work at my preschool. You do really good cheese and macaroni and you do really good pastry. I forgot my playdough. This letter is going all the way to Melbourne.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU NANNA!

That's it, and it's Poppy's birthday soon, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY Poppy.

Bye for now, Love from Sophie.

And the story...

The King's Wife Died

Once upon a time, there was a king with a wife that died. He was upset and she had to go in heaven. She was really killed by a bat and she had no more blood.

She was really, really dead.

The End.

Now we know where my sister gets it from.
XD

Merry Christmas everyone.

incredibly bored at the moment and about to go insane.

Between one of the Film and TV teachers being a complete bitch to me just because I was trying to finish my assignment, customers who act like complete dickheads, and finding out my brother got punched in the face while on camp by this little shithead rangah kid who has been bullying him for several years, but the school never doing anything about it...

My day had been fan-fucking-tastic.

Put "I've seen --- of 239 films" in the subject line and re post it

So, recently I was watching The Tudors when I realised I had fallen very much in lust with the actor who plays the Duke of Suffolk, Henry Cavill.

Is that a sword in your tight leather pants, or are you just happy to see me?
Oh... on closer inspection, it's a sword. Never mind then.

Seriously, my reaction can only be described with this GIF:

No joke, dude needs to get in my pants right now and have my babies (Henry Cavill, NOT Simon. Eww...)

And then I was informed that not only was he in consideration for the role of 'Edward' in that terrible series of moving images that we have named 'Twilight', but he was She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's favourite.

But because he was 24, he was deemed too old for the role.

I know David Tennant/The Doctor... I know.

See, I think this was a major MAJOR mistake on your part, Smeyer.

I mean, come on. Too old? TOO OLD??? She does know that the majority of teenagers onscreen are portrayed by people in the 20+ age bracket. Chad Michael Murray was, like, 26 when he started One Tree Hill. And the chick whoplayed Dionne in Clueless, Stacey Dash, was 28 when she did that movie. THEN she went to do the spinoff show, STILL playing a teenager.

Also, why would you pick Robert Pattinson over this delicious piece of man-hunk gorgeousness??? Henry Cavill is way more worthy of hormonal girls' affection than someone who LOOKS LIKE A FOOT!!!

UH HUH... I SAID IT!!! ROBERT PATTINSON LOOKS LIKE A FOOT!!!

And at least Henry Cavill has manly chest hair.

That's right, you stand there and feel threatened with your foot face, and your unmanly body, smoking your cigarette that tastes like a foot, hoping that it will make you look more manly and brooding and that girls will find you attractive even though you look (and probably smell) like a foot.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that if you can recast that ranga chick, you can certainly recast Edward. Because I am WAY more willing to pay to see New Moon at the cinemas if Henry Cavill is in it, because I would rather see him take his shirt off and sparkle in the sun.

Also, if they haven't found any one to play the Duke of Suffolk's third wife in The Tudors, then I totally volunteer.

Love,
Sophie.

P.S. Not enough people give The Tudors love on this site. Every one is all about True Blood. And while True Blood is awesome, every one has been doing vampire porn lately. This is like 16th Century history porn.

16TH CENTURY HISTORY PORN!!!
