Why Robert Downey Jr. Is Awesome #7

Some news from Comic-Con for Iron Man 3. Not only do we see the new suit but it's been confirmed Sir Ben Kingsley will play the Mandarin.

Iron Man 3 1
It was all yellow. 
What do we think of the new suit? Well, it's just like the others really. A bit more yellow though.

Iron Man 3 seems to have come together really quickly (even though I know it's not out until next year) but let's hope it can build on The Avengers success. I have great faith in Shane Black.  

We've also got the new titles for upcoming sequels; Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Thor: The Dark World. Looking forward to it Marvel.

TOM HIDDLESTON TALKS ABOUT HOW AMAZING JURASSIC PARK IS!!

If my friends were asked to say one fact about me I think 99% of them would say "She likes Jurassic Park."

Tom Hiddleston
 Jurassic Park 1

At the moment I also like Tom Hiddleston.


So imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon this video. It's just too great for mortal words.


"Stick Richard Attenborough in it, pretend it's his park and you'll believe anything."

Anyone who loves JP is alright by me. Anyone who does a raptor impression? Well, colour me IMPRESSED.


While we're fangirling...


Not sure what's going on here but I approve. 

RDJ + Tom Hiddleston = ZOMG!

I'll write something about Mark Wright's Hollywood Nights if that's what you really want, alright??


Why Robert Downey Jr. Is Awesome #6

Marvel released a new photo on the set of Iron Man 3 last week. Now that the excitement of The Avengers has calmed a bit, this gives me something Marvel to look forward to.

Iron Man 3
NOT THE FACE.
Why the hell would you cover his face though??? Lovin' the suits behind him too.

Iron Man 3 is due out May 2013, so we've got a little wait ahead of us. But hopefully Gwyneth Paltrow will keep tweeting us pictures like the one below.

High hair. 

Wish I could get my ponytail looking that good.

Twitter Accounts I Find Most Entertaining At The Moment

twitter logo
Tweet, tweet
I love Twitter, I can literally spend hours on there (and regularly do). As much as I like talking to my friends it's such a great way to socialise and network. And also semi-stalk (in a totally non-threatening way, obviously) celebrities. It's amazing. And who doesn't love a good #hashtag??


Now some people on Twitter just don't get it; the worst offenders are accounts that are obviously ran by their publicist. The whole point of Twitter is to interact with people. Why be on it if all you are going to do is plug your latest song/ film/ eyelashes/ children's story book collection? I've put together a Top 5 of my favourite Tweeters of the moment; people who are actually interesting, well written blogs, cool actors and even a shop. You probably follow them but let me tell you why I follow them.

5. Waterstones on Oxford Street.

Okay, they can be a bit weird sometimes when they go off on one but most of their tweets always raise a smile. I thought it was a spoof account for a while but seems to be genuine (I think). Quirky, cool and not a hint of crummy offers, it's well worth a follow.

Tweet
They want to destroy the Kindle too.


4. Richard Osman, everyone's "Pointless friend".

Richard Osman is hilarious, the banter between him and Alexander Armstrong on Pointless makes the show. His tweets can sometimes be a bit random (there was a World Cup of crisps at one point- forget who won), but anyone informing me of The Chuckle Brothers being on TV is a-okay by me.

Tweet 8
"Hiya, hello."


3. Digital Spy Reality Bites Blog.

If you watch as much reality TV as me, there really is no excuse not to follow DS Reality Bites. They are great to tweet along with when any reality shows are on. Funny and with a memory like an elephant (Bring Back Gamu was a popular hash tag during the last series of The X Factor), Reality Bites is a must for fans of The Apprentice, BGT, I'm A Celeb and the like. Get involved.

Tweet 9
There are many more acts you've forgotten but DS Reality Bites hasn't.


2. The Rock, wrestler slash actor.

Honestly, you'll find it hard to find someone more inspiring in their tweets (maybe not the one below so much). There are some really motivational words going on. He also has loads of pictures (everyone loves a good Twitpic) and info on his films. And as we all know if you put The Rock in your movie franchise it automatically gets better by about 57% (or something). EXAMPLE: Fast & Furious, Journey To..., G.I Joe; maybe more...?

Tweet 5
Bazinga.


1. Tom Hiddleston, y'know Loki: god of mischief.

I'm a little bit in love with Tom Hiddleston at the moment; this is the reason I love Twitter. You follow people but it's playful interest-taking. And to be fair, if they didn't want anyone knowing anything about them, they wouldn't be on Twitter would they? That's my story anyway. With lots of interest still in The Avengers/ Avengers Assemble it's nice to see actors who are obviously incredibly popular at the moment to actually read and reply to messages from people (not from me but hey, I don't want to come across as a total mentalist.) He sends some really adorable tweets and also some cryptic ones about an up and coming project. Cute, articulate and oh-so-smart, I love looking for his tweets on my timeline. My god I might explode by the time Thor 2 comes around.

Every body's favourite god and new favourite insult.

Squid Bits! Marvel at The Avengers Characters

Looking for Avengers pictures the other day and in preparation for another viewing of Avengers Assemble, I came across these on a blog called Squid Bits! It has loads of Marvel and DC superhero quirky cartoons among over cute creations. 

Are these not the most adorable Avengers you've ever seen?? I just wish there was an Iron Man!

#3 Bruce Banner being besties with Tony Stark (makes sense really).

#2 Thor telling us Loki's adopted.

#1 Loki being totally and utterly evil. I mean, what he calls Black Widow?? He is definitely the Big Bad that The Avengers needed. 

I like it. Kneel before him.

Why Robert Downey Jr. Is Awesome #1

I love Robert Downey Jr. Sometimes I forget then I stumble upon something to remind me. What with a million Avengers premiers, interviews, photo shoots going on I thought it'd be good to just look at a few nice pictures.

I've Already Bet My Cinematic Future On The Avengers

So The Avengers (or if you're from the UK, Avengers Assemble. Stupid.) hits our screens on April 26th and for me marks the start of the Blockbuster season. Our appetite has been whetted by Wrath of the Titans and Battleship but the big guns come out with Avengers Assemble. Marvel have a lot riding on this but if the trailers are anything to go by, they need not be worried. We've been waiting a little while to see the Marvel Universe collide.

I can honestly say I've not been disappointed by any of the films in the Marvel Universe they've created. Thor was a massive surprise for me, I really enjoyed it. I'm so glad they brought Loki back as the big bad. Captain American was fun too and I loved both Iron Man films; that might have a bit to do with the fact I love RDJ but they were still great. Even The Incredible Hulk had it's moments.

I've already staked my cinematic future on the awesomeness of The Avengers. I said that if it's rubbish I will not got to the cinema ever again. I'm THAT confident it'll be amazing. If not, my other half will just have to buy a smaller popcorn from now on.


That's an American TV spot but I just love the "Let's do a head count."

Loki might have an army but as Mr Stark says "We have a Hulk." And without doubt, a massive hit. Bring on April 26th.
