Not the post I was intending but let’s just say I got distracted

I can NOT decide what my favorite part of this clip is, but the belly has to be high up on the list. And yes, there’s something wrong with my brain.

Soon To Be Still Drunk

I know soon is a relative term but relatively soon Effbit & I will once again be in the same geographical region, the same state, and eventually the same bar (undoubtedly). Effbit is hitting the big time Big Tex style, YEEEHAAAWWW! Ok, sorry about that. I’m much more excited about the Effbit part, not so much for the Texas bit but whatever, beggars and choosers and all that. There will be State Fair and corny dogging it up, there will be some serious Granny fried chicken, and there will be a proper introduction to the town I’ve lived in now for almost 7 months. Holy crap it’s been a minute. HALP. We’re also taking a side trip to New Orleans to visit MY OLDEST FRIEND IN THE WORLD, who is my age (for all you clever kids who know I’m down with the geriatrics…IT’S NOT THAT KIND OF OLD). There’s some shit that’s been flying around in the air for far too long and that shit is gonna go DOWN.

I’m a wee bit excited. My pre-Effbit grocery list contains the following: booze, tea, & cheese.

It is so on.

And also also, once all these shenanigans have been shanned and I’m alone again (naturally), my new favorite greatest show ever will be picking back up with new episodes airing on BBC2. The Thick Of It begins airing a new series of 8 sometime towards the end of October. Now, I don’t actually get BBC2 but I am confident I can finagle something in the way of viewing this future masterpiece, for I refuse to be separated from my sweary hotscot dreamboat for longer than it takes some enterprising young Brit to rip and post. If I could watch the show live when it airs, I would, just as I would buy the original series and two specials on Region 1 DVD if they in fact PRODUCED SUCH AN ITEM. Ahem. I know it’ll happen eventually, just not fast enough for my liking.

Please please please, let me, let me, let me, let me, get Malcolm Tucker on Region 1. kthxfuckityBYEEEEEEEEE

I want to muss his hair all day, and all of the night

I feel I should post just this one screengrab and have that say it all for my review of Local Hero. It’s certainly the impetus for finding the film in the first place, although it’s not the only thing I came away with. The face Oldsen pulls, softly bouncing on the balls of his feet as he’s watching Marina walk away for the first time, almost reigns me in from wanting to jump his awkward flailing bones. Almost.

Then of course, I gather myself and envision this fantasy.

I want more please, kthxbai. Now I’m going to have to get into Doctor Who, and Torchwood, and…what else…Fortysomething again? I predict a vicious Laurie-Capaldi circle in my immediate future, and I’m kinda ok with that.

More Malcolm Tucker

I saw In The Loop over the weekend and I’m already dying for an extended 2-disc Blu-Ray release. In a useless attempt to avoid my mind’s oversaturation of this beautiful, beautiful character, I am instead choosing to focus on Peter Capaldi’s body of work. Heh. Local Hero arrives tomorrow, I’ve already bought the soundtrack, and quite frankly I’m looking forward to what I’ve read is one of the most charming films to come out of the 80′s. Not to mention a sweet young 20-something Capaldi in all his awkwardly running glory. Christ I love that man’s run. And hair. But not the sweet floppy young hair. The venomous grey cut. Effbit’s been on about the rpattz hair for a while now, but I think I finally understand how it’s possible to want to fuck follicles.

So here it is – the one bit of video I will let myself watch before this movie comes out on disc. I can think of five scenes just off the top of my head that I want to watch into the ground and I’m crafty enough to find this film out there somewhere, but I am restraining. If this montage doesn’t make you run right out to see this film, well then God, Jed, I don’t even want to know you.
