Hiddles tweeted this yesterday; I was like that’s all we get.
He’s tweeting again? I guess he is back from his mission in LA.
EMO Loki is making me strangely happy.
This movie has Thor (no explanation necessary), emo Loki, Loki and Thor working together (come on, those two cannot deny the love), Thor’s romantic interest that I was told I look like, TWICE (they were flattering me, but who cares), and England, which is my geographic spirit animal. Yeah. All of this is making me rather un-strangely happy. 😀
RDJ called Goop a snob to her face. I love him 😀
Then she playfully slapped him. I saw the video.
He seemed to be joking but I bet his tongue holds some truth to that statement.
God bless RDJ. The sigh he lets out after being slapped is very telling. Good enough for her family is a shock? She’s a bit of an idiot.
I’d respect Reese so much more if she didnt cowardly back out of her tv interview appearances. Just proves that her apology wasn’t sincere if she’s not willing to face her mistake head on. She knew she’d be questioned about it and instead of holding her head high she runs away with her tail between her legs. Pathetic.
She needs a very clear PR strategy now and it would be very easy for her to slip off message and dig herself into an even deeper hole. I think strategically it makes sense lay low a bit. Though going out partying with Chelsea Handler & Co. sort of undermines the efforts.
TMZ just posted a video of her arriving at the Police Station in handcuffs!
Going there right now!
Oh, schadenfreude…
Her mugshot is still pretty good though. And no horrible orange shirt!
Blimey, the hair makes Tommyanna look at bit like Gary Oldman circa Count Dracula.
Which is NEVER a bad thing.
I really want someone to dub “I vant to suck your bluuud” over the trailer.
But I think Hiddlyanna’s dragonfly friends would probably be scared away.
I want Loki to smash a guitar at some point…..
Seriously – you’re just fueling the fire there, Amelia.
I know RIGHT? That look is seriously working for him and for my nether regions which are all a-tingle.
It’s all working, that is for sure. Him crumpled on the floor, looking broken – and then, right at the end, after a death threat (“when” not “if you betray me”) a spark occurs, enough to pull his head forward and place a faint smile on his lips?
Oh, and may I add OH!
Yes, Oldman…he was so good during the Dracula period. The only reason why I got to watch that film several times.
@Amelia: I absolutely love Gary Oldman in Dracula. I remember having nightmares after I saw that movie. Best vampire portrayal ever!
Nightmares? Gary oldman was THE SEX in Dracula!
Armageddon is a great movie!! Why the heck is he apologizing for it?! The movie is funny, has a good plot, and the ending makes me teary every time 🙁 SHAME ON YOU MICHAEL BAY
Oh and I can’t wait for THOR!!! I usually don’t go for blondes, but I’ll make an exception : )
Armaggedon is one of the only decent films Michael Bay has ever made. It should be the last one he apologizes for.
So much about the Armageddon apology: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/michael-bay-backtracks-armageddon-apology-444741
Although, if anything, he should apologize for those God-awful Transformers movies…
He looks like the quintessential pasty goth rock band member. And note the glass prison! Like, that *always* works!
I am not find of Portman or the Thor/Jane pairing.
I agree with you. I just don’t see it.
lol that hair is so beautiful. but omg you have to admit that voice lures you in everytime. oh loki.
He looks like the quintessential pasty goth rock band member. And note the glass prison! Like, that *always* works!
I am not find of Portman or the Thor/Jane pairing. I do look forward to a grittier, dirtier Asgard.
Agreed. I think the Thor/Anna pairing works MUCH better! 😉
Ha! Nicely played, Anna.
@ J.Eyre:
And I was like “Who the hell is Anna in Thor movies? Is that Kat Dennings’s character?”
@Eve
I don’t even know what to say because I am laughing too hard 🙂 Maybe that should be my strategy – stealth!
@Anna: Hahahaha!
@Crumpets, j.eyre, Eve et al: I don’t mind Jane and Thor. Portman used to be a much better actress (she used to be on my list of fave actresses), what happened to her?!
I actually do not mind Portman as Jane either.
@ Miss M:
I’m going to respectfully abstain from answering your question because I have always hated her acting (with the exception of The Professional).
As for her personality, let’s just say she occupies a really high spot on my hate list.
@Eve: Well, she is not on my list of actors who can still be douche or entitled I will defend them (RDJ,Goop, Franco). So, it’s OK on my books if you want to hate on her.
@j.eyre: The God of Thunder needs to have a weakness… what a better weakness than Jane?
Loki=drugged rock star from the 80’s, hahaha.
@Eve
You know I’ve been a fan of your hate list so far, so now I am curious!
Personally I think she’s a decent actress and really gorgeous, but I dont remember the last work of hers that I enjoyed. Maybe V for Vendetta?
@ Anna:
I can’t even remember the entire list (as of now). There are people I stopped hating a long time ago, there have been names added to it as well. I know I don’t hate some of the regulars on other people’s list (like Gwyneth Paltrow, James Franco and Anne Hathaway — they’re annoying, yes, but I don’t hate them).
Just like Portman: she was just annoying (before the whole Black Swan crap), she just rubbed me the wrong way. I also thought she was a mediocre actress whose real talent was crying unstoppably.
I have a hard time watching her (please, don’t ask me to talk about Black Swan, there’s a long thread here on CB where you can find my take on the whole thing). I think she’s just a bad actress who (often) overacts, but there’s definitely more to it.
P.S.: I didn’t like “V for Vendetta” — I called it “B for Bullsh*t”.
P.P.S.: Whenever I saw people complaining about Hathaway’s shameless Oscar campaign I thought to myself: “That’s actually nothing compared to Portman’s”.
@Eve –
Too many Portman archives! But it’s ok, I’ll dig it up.
In the meantime, I saw this and thought of you, esp #1 http://www.buzzfeed.com/ailbhemalone/reasons-benedict-cumberbatch-is-the-perfect-man
@ Anna:
I’ve already seen that (but thank you anyway(
*sigh* Cumberbatch is my spirit animal.
@ Anna:
There’s no need to search the archives, the one that really matters is this (and it’s a doozy — LOL!):
http://www.celebitchy.com/159471/did_benjamin_millepied_introduce_his_pregnant_jumpoff_to_his_ex/#comments
Seriously. I want him in a dive bar, playing a semi-ironic tribute to Styx.
I think you are going to get something like that in Only Lovers Left Alive: he plays a vampire street musician with long goth hair. Some crucial scenes were filmed in a serious Detroit dive bar. And he does fancy himself as a guitarist, so I am sure we will hear some singing.
I want to add glitter toenail polish to the ensemble. And I am hoping there are some sweaty Asgard prison scenes before Loki is broken loose to “help” Thor.
Ok, I admit it. I am only into this dude when he’s playing Loki. You see, I like assholes. Anyway, I think the long dark disheveled hair is hot.
He’s not an asshole! He just wants to be loved! Imagine living in Thor’s shadow all his life just to find out that you’re a political prop… (hugs Loki)(while totally undressing Thor with her eyes)
Ugh, well I don’t want him if he’s going to break down crying during sex and be emotionally needy.
That would be Tommyana, Mel. I think Loki would really mess with you. In a good way.
@Mel –
Oh god this made me LOL so hard. So true. But then you get the credit from saving a couple of worlds from destruction because you healed his broken soul.
It’s fine though, if you don’t want him I will gladly take the weepy leftovers 🙂
@Crumpets –
Isn’t there an accepted consensus that Tommyanna reads Romantic poetry after sex?
@Anna
Consensus is he reads Romantic poetry for fun. We agree he cries after sex – which is fine at my house because I usually fall asleep after sex so it never bothers me.
He reads Mary Oliver after sex. Terrible! I’m working on him, never fear…. You’ll hear something more metaphysical by end of day.
Loki, Hiddles, crying, poetry – I’ll take it all!
Emo Loki has made tumblr explode. Also, I’m in the process of tracking down one of the emo Loki inspired outfits for my daughter to wear to opening night:
http://www.polyvore.com/loki/set?id=49892306&.m=1&.svc=copypaste&embedder=0
Heh. Etsy, Pinterest and Ebay have made a beeline for my checking account 😉
Just when I think I’m out…
This Buzzfeed post about Loki’s new hair is beyond precious http://www.buzzfeed.com/catesish/tumblr-reacts-to-a-new-thor-trailer?mid=partner
Oh God, that was priceless thank you for the link.
Uh…not feeling this. I’m not a Loki/Huddleston fan girl so his hair just makes me laugh.
I pray to the movie gods that Jane Foster bites the dust in this film & Thor realizes Sif is the one. Sigh…probably won’t get that wish granted.
Michael Shannon…I love you. He made that sorority letter sound even more hilarious than it already is & he’s swilling a glass of whiskey/scotch.
The Michael Shannon video is pure awesomeness.
Ooh, good to know I’m not the only one who wants Thor with Sif. Jane/Natalie is annoying.
And Michael Shannon is awesome. I’d love to kick back and have a scotch with him any night.
Could have used some of the Hiddlespotting photos from last night LA Clippers game.
I’ve never been a fan of muscled guys or whatever but even I have to admit chris is looking way hot for his own good in this trailer. Delicious, delicious…
I do not care for an overly muscular build either – what is it about him that converts us so easily?
He somehow makes it look proportional – the height certainly helps – and he still looks affable, like the kind of guy who uses these arms not just to brawl but to give the best hugs and comfort you when you’re upset. Not that I’m imagining things or anything…
He normally isn’t that built either. Neither is Chris Evans. They’re normally pretty lanky, slightly muscular, not super big.
@ Miss Eyre,
For me, it’s the thought of him riding that little pink scooter.
@Anna,
Arms that carry around that darling little India Rose.
@EsCon – my word, that must be it.
@Anna – “like the kind of guy who uses these arms not just to brawl but to give the best hugs and comfort you when you’re upset. Not that I’m imagining things or anything”
See, now when I imagine those arms, one is planted on the mattress like a pole in all of its striated glory to the left of my shoulder and the other is extended over my head so that he may firmly grasp the headboard and I am staring up to that chest as it beads with sweat.
But a hug when I am bummed out would be nice too.
@EsCon
Wha-what? Pink scooter? Now I am completely lost.
@Eyre
Dear god woman, how am I supposed to go to sleep now?
@ Anna,
Behold…..Thor’s little scooter:
http://www.hakes.com/images.asp?ItemNo=51555&ImageNo=001
Okay, but the pink scooter is mine. I will absolutely share CHemboy, but he only rides the scooter for me.
@EsCon, GOOP called, are you still making the pu pu platter for tomorrow’s book club?
@Anna – добро пожаловать
@ j.eyre,
Of course the pink scooter is yours, Jane! You’ll notice this scooter is a bit small, & no more than one Thor-loving bitch could possibly fit on the back.
Hmmm….the Goop Pu Pu platter—I almost forgot. Thank you for the reminder, now I must hop on the Vespa Hedgehog & shop for ingredients. It is not that easy to find teriyaki low-sodium baby’s breath, & bite-size angels that sing only to Goop in her language du jour. But for Goop, I will make the effort. We are reading her new cookbook, yes? Yummy things without calories, gluten, or flavor?—I simply cannot wait.
EsCon! Yes, the arms! Those huge, muscled arms that seem so solid and yet gentle when he’s holding little India Rose.
I think it’s that almost unlikely gentleness that grabs me about him. As Thor, the idea of him being a violent warrior god who has all the forgiveness and patience in the world for his errant adopted brother just seems to ring true, at least to me. Like I could see how he’s THAT guy, in real life, with his brothers.
@j.eyre
Спасибо! (that was a nice touch) and um, you can DEFINITELY keep the scooter. Words, I does not has.
@andrea
Spot-on. Exactly what you said and how you said it.
This is why I’m not a devoted Hiddlestoner. For a hot minute I thought he was cute my heart will always belong to CHemboy, face carved by angels and arms like an anaconda.
Um, the anaconda arms are a REALLY creepy analogy, especially because wasn’t there a story this week about some dude being swallowed whole by a monster snake? But agreed on the general Hems gorgeousness.
CHemboy makes him sound like that dork in science class you only partner with to ace the class – isn’t there a better nickname for him?
Ah thank you. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t get behind that nickname.
Suggestions? CHrome? Please something other than Thor related – I hate to limit him to that. The name is about his physique (a CHemical reaction occurs when he takes his shirt off. I got an A+ in CHem class.) And the boy was because he was such a guy.
There is always room for improvement. Mr. Eyre? That could work too…
Isn’t that a photo of Sara Gilbert?
Thank you! That’s who he reminds me of, Sara Gilbert, especially as Darlene.
Yes, and he’s gorgeous.
Mmm Hiddleston…
Am I the only one going ‘poor Sif’? I would much rather have strong/butt kicking Jaimie Alexander any-day over the Black Swan.
There was definitely chemistry with Sif in the first movie, even though she was in all the 5 seconds of it. Plus she is awesome!
Not the only one.
Who am I kidding, I’ll watch it, even if only for ASkars dad. He’s in this, right?
An aside: Portman & the Goopster in one promo video exceeds my “smug quotient” for the day, and possibly the week.
Put a warning up, would you? (see: South Park’s Smug Alert ep. – it’s golden!)
Sif would whooop up on Queen Amadala for tryin’ to jack her man.
I squeed quite loudly at my desk when I saw the trailer was out and my boss just shook her head. I have 3 little Thor’s all over my desk and it was the 1st comic book I ever had. I am so beside myself I can’t even.
I like the hair, but then I am of an age where I imprinted upon that kind of hair as a starry-eyed teenager.
I like that they kept Tom for last, they are going to drag this out for as long as they can because Marvel wants butts in the seats and Portman is not going to garner repeat viewings on her own, second billing or not.
Marvel knows they have a cash cow on their hands with Tom – ladies opinions here on CB aside, the man will bring in the rabid fangirls for MANY repeat viewings.
In other news, I would taking a sex crying Tommyanna any day of the week, in fact every day, all day…

Hey, hey now! The line starts right behind me.
HAHA you’re spot on! I was totally one of those rabid girls going to see repeats for Loki! Embarrassing but true.
Lainey really nails it, in my opinion: “They should be selling this not as Thor’s Hair Emporium but as “Westeros in space”.”
Loki in Ikea prison!

She can get on my nerves sometimes but this text is just great
More Thor – Loki, less Thor – Jane! The brother-relationship is much more interesting!
Loki looks like brian molko
OMG YES!!!!! I will forever love Brian Molko. The fact that Hiddleston’s Loki is channeling that makes me love him more
ha ha ha oh wow, now I’m back to high school. Thanks for that image it’s funny but kind of on the spot
I.love.him.
I can’t wait for this movie. The Shakespearean themes of the first elevated it beyond my expectations (THOR was never my fave Marvel hero although I like the comics). Tom really captures Loki and I’m glad he didn’t get cast as Thor.
They should have kept his Avengers hair though.
…am I the only one who thinks that the person falling to his knees as if dead immediately before Thor bellowing “nooooo” is Loki? Are they killing him off? It can’t be…
You’re wrong. Look at his clothes. It’s Thor falling to his knees because he’s having a sad. It probably has to do with Loki or Portman, but I think Loki will simply fake his death if anything.
Naaah, not Loki. Hiddles will never want to stop playing this. There is supposed to be a significant death: my guess is that Anthony Hopkins wants to clear out.
If they pull another lameass plot device like the odinsleep I may roll my eyes and get stuck that way.
Great issues altogether, you simply gained a logo new reader. What could you suggest about your put up that you simply made some days in the past? Any positive?
OH COME ON.
I hope there is another trailer for this. They concentrated too much on the love triangle(?) among Thor, Sif and Jane.
Back in the day (last year) I made a guess that it would be Odin (as a logical choice) to kick it, mainly because
1 – he is too powerful to be allowed to live or stay awake, otherwise what is the point of it all if he can just ‘fix it’.
2 – in the comics Odin actually dies or imposes self-exile a ton of times and Thor and Loki refuse to seek his help even when they do actually need it.
Rumor of course has it being Frigga, which would give Loki a reason to actually ‘help’ but personally I hope that Natalie LOOK AT ME Portman got so fed up with Marvel that she agrees to having her annoying as **** character killed off.
