Watch Chris Evans get drenched in ice water! He is ADORBS.
"When I bring awareness to a charity, I prefer a more formal setting." LOLZ!
The countdown has started for Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell, Frank Grillo, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan. Oh yes, the world is watching. Especially for Sebastian. lolololol.
PS: Snowpiercer!!! Not for everyone, but wow, I liked it a lot. I think it's pretty clever of Chris to take a very subtle opportunity to shout out his fantastic movie that got SO UNFAIRLY SHAFTED in distribution.
I don't watch dramas, so I did not recognize Octavia Spencer as the Oscar winner from The Help. But she was really good in Snowpiercer too.
The Cumberbatch one is awesome too! Share which ones you like most!
Chris Evan's quote tattoo is by Eckhart Tolle:
“When you lose touch with inner stillness,
you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch
with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.” -- thanks Tsuki no bara! :)
Acafan moment: bizarre application of famous Blake quote to fanfic as a phenomenon:
“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
The source material is like the cavern... have you ever watched a piece of fantastic (or mediocre) source material countless times, till you know it by heart .... and then spent hours riffing on it in fic, or reading other people riffing on it. In fanfic, canon is opened out and becomes Infinite. 5,686 stories about Bucky and Steve on AO3, and counting.... many exploring the same tropes, but so many people peering through the narrow chinks, searching for something new... it's really kind of amazing.
today's Bucky cosplay thoughts (Halloween related -- sorry, I really plan ahead):
--do I really need a replica M4A1 rifle with attached M203 grenade launcher -- made out of duct tape? or shall I be a gunless version?
-- shouldn't I rig my holsters as a Treat Storage and Deployment System?
-- what candy should I give out? I'm thinking York Peppermint Patties and Hershey Special Dark. :)
-- does anyone know where to get a bunch of Winter Soldier stickers? or do I have to get Avengers ones? I want more Bucky, as always.
--Should I make a big "temporary SHIELD headquarters" sign for my house? Since Husband is going as Tony, this should be Stark Tower, but there's no way. I guess our tiny rowhouse is a former tenement in Brooklyn: much more believable. :)
PS I went to McDonalds, ordered a Happy Meal, asked for a miniature Barbie instead of a car, and made the Barbie into Peggy Carter by giving her a hair cut and a dress made of red duct tape. Bucky is SO SUSPICIOUS. did you guys know that Peggy is getting her own show FOR REALS??? so exciting!
