Had to laugh, just read this article by Lacy Bryant regarding the awesome news that Tom Hardy will be Bane, in the next Batman film. She describes Hardy as 'the little Inception guy', WTF? How can you possibly describe Hardy as 'little'?? No part of that man is little - or so I've heard! - but honestly, LITTLE?? Has she seen him? With Her Eyes?! Rant over with, I'm sure he'll be brilliant. I know nothing of this Bane character, but from what I've just quickly skim-read (from Wikipedia - don't try that at home kids, it'll rot your brain), and glimpsed on Google Images; Perfect Casting! He's a buff (check), master-minded supervillain, with some rather deep-rooted issues. So Hardy's quietly brooding intensity should do just the trick then. That, and the fact he's Drop Dead Gorgeous. LITTLE??

I've just been back to the above offending article to see if my comment was published; it wasn't. Obviously Ms Bryant didn't like what I had to say, which was basically the same as I've said here. Some people just can't handle the truth. Freedom of speech? My hairy wolf's ar-

Who's The Daddy
Can I just say, for the record, that I thought of the above caption AGES ago, long before The Sun. I just hoped I'd never have to use it.
*UPDATE*
Yeah, so that kinda puts the knockers (pardon the pun) on my theory, as they're not getting married 'cos they're infatuated with the idea of each other, but 'cos Tennant's gone and got her knocked up. Though, if one is to look at it from that angle, I guess it shows he's trying to do the right thing [With the Wrong Woman]. Ahh, bless. Either that, or she did it on purpose to trap him... which I really hope is not true of course, David's a better judge of character than that, right? But maybe he does feel trapped. Maybe he's trying to maintain his 'I'm a good guy' star image. Maybe he's wanting to prove himself to Davison; here's a real ma that won't walked out on your daughter, Mr Fifth Doctor Sir. Or maybe he really does love this girl, and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Hmmm, maybe. Suppose the wedding is taking place next New Year's Day (allegedly), when the child would be around 8 months old (allegedly she's 5 months preggers now), so it's not really shotgun. Close though, very close.
Oh well, I can (and will) still look. After all, Johnny Depp's got kids, and has been married - what, twice? - and I most definitely look (leer) at him. On the other hand, my theory could still be right; that Tennant and Moffett aren't made for each other, and when they realise this, I could be in with a shot. As my friend Zee said; if the shit does hit the fan, I could get Tennant, plus joint custody of his child, who we know is gonna be gorgeous, without ever having to have given birth to said child, or be involved with the icky bits of its upringing. Win win!

PS, watched Inception (Nolan, 2010) for the first time last night, and Loved. It. What's more, I understood it, which for me is a miracle; I don't usually 'get' films like that. The delicious Tom Hardy helped take my mind off the Tennant situation for a couple of hours too, hope he wins the Rising Star Award at this years BAFTAs. But, the Big question re Inception is, did the spinning top stop spinning? Discuss.

Apocalypse Now?
Was just turning the TV off last night when I caught this freaky little story on BBC 3's 60 Second bulletin:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12105157
Basically, a whole load of birds fell out of the skies above Arkansans, USA. Now, if like me, you've seen FlashForward (ABC, 2009) and/or The Core (Amiel, 2003) you too will be freaking out about just how long humanity has left on this fragile rock. See, I have watched a lot of disaster movies, and they scare me way more than any horror ever has. Of course, I'm not saying I've never been spooked by a good horror, I saw Candyman (Rose, 1992) far too young, and kept imagining Tony Todd rising up from under my bed *shudders*. But I am able to rationalise that, for the most part, the content of horror films is very unlikely to come true. Even those that are 'based on true events' have huge amounts of artistic licence. Horror films play on the whole storytelling tradition, as that's just what they are; stories. Who hasn't scared themselves shitless while sitting around a campfire (or miniature fondue set on your bedroom floor), telling horrific ghost stories?
Disaster films, on the other hand, Could Happen. Anytime. And this is what's flipping scary. The Earth has been hit by asteroids before, so who's to say it won't happen again, soon?? Just because humans have taken over the lease, doesn't make us any safer. It's not like the greenhouse gases are going to act as a barrier against anything hurtling towards us at 50,000 mph (give or take). Now these birds are falling out the sky, รก la The Core (where the Earth's core stopped spinning), and it makes yer think. Well, it makes me think anyway, I also think it rather strange that there have been so many earthquakes, mine collapses, tsunamis and freaky weather etc. I mean, coincidence? Really?
Maybe I should just steer clear of the disaster genre altogether, focus on the minutia of life, like what to have for tea, whether I need a haircut, when my next essay's due in, the current shocking state of the TV schedule, etc. Still, they do say that the world's gonna end on 21.12.12, so maybe this is the beginning... On that note, I'm off to play Sims 2, where the world never ends, unless I make it so, muahahaha.
