The Day of Tom Hiddleston. Midnight in Paris. Cannes.

I've just watched the movie "Midnight in Paris" by incredible Woody Allen. Oh, the film is maarvellous! ("The kiki is maarvellous") I've watched it certainly because of Tom Hiddleston. Then I've found out beautiful Marion Cotillard and Rachel McAdams take the parts there. In general, the movie's simply fabulous, "Midnight in Paris" received an enthusiastic critical response. For the next part of the discription let's go to the Wikipedia:
Taking place in Paris, the film follows Gil Pender, a screenwriter, who is forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his materialistic fiancée and their divergent goals, which become increasingly exaggerated as he travels back in time each night at midnight. The movie explores themes of nostalgia and modernism. Thanks to the site, I'll continue. The movie mentions a lot of great people of that "lost generation": Francis Scott Fitzgerald (Tom Hiddleston) and his wife Zelda, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and others. 
BTW, the film made its debut at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. "Midnight in Paris" won several cool prizes, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Grammy. Isn't it great?
Well, the movie's blended perfectly with my thoughts about Mr. Fitzgerald and his Gatsby, Mr. Hiddleston and Festival de Cannes. A coincidence or destiny?


Soon I'll learn to distinguish films by Allen from others, because it's the 2nd movie by this famous director I've seen; the 1st one is "To Rome With Love" starring Alec Baldwin, cute Jesse Eisenberg, Penélope Cruz and Woody Allen himself. My mom and I was laughing a lot watching it.


What about other Allen's works, so I want to watch "Vicky Cristina Barcelona".
This is my second post for the day, and this is the second time I mention Tom Hiddleston. Let me remember what movies starring him I've seen:
  • The first time I saw Tom at all was "War Horse" with Benedict Cumberbatch. Hiddleston played Captain Nicholls, and I didn't know that cute guy is OMG TOM HIDDLESTON
  • The second time I ran into this actor was "The Avengers". I watched the movie with my friend in the cinema and told her: "Hey, I've already seen him with Benedict!"
  • Then I started to familiarize with the world of Marvel and the world of Tom Hiddleston, so the next movie I watched was "Thor". Generally, it's rediculous I watched "Thor", "Iron Man" and "The Captain America" only after "The Avengers". It's the nature of me.
  • And here goes "Midnight in Paris" - my today's exploration
I know there's a big BBC project "The Hollow Crown" based on the plays by William Shakespeare, and Mr. Hiddleston appears there as Henry V, but shame on me, I watched only the 1st part of the series - a film about Richard II played by Ben Whishaw. Yeah, now you know why I watched. When I was watching it I thought it's a little bit boring, but now I understand it's so great.


If you think I like every film I watch, so you go a wrong path. For example, I definitely dislike "Marmaduke". Definitely. It's dull in my oppinion.
Well well well, also today we talk about Cannes! Yesterday I scrolled through some photos from the red carpet of the Festival paying my attention to the dresses. I hope I'll find an idea for my prom's dress. Yes, I know it'll be only in a year, but time goes by so fast. So here's some looks I like:




The black dress on Audrey Tautou is my favourite. I'd like to have something like this, but not black. I don't know what colour I want, but not black. And yes, 2 last dresses look alike very much, but anyway they're different. Girls understand.
According to the title, here's some pictures for you, as usual. Photos of Tom Hiddleston from Cannes:




Moreover, while Thomas has fun in France, Ian Somerhalder had fun in Moscow a day or two ago. Today I'm going to watch a late night show with him.
Ouch, I promised you the song of the day... Let inject some Brazilian music in my blog, and I introduce Cartola with his song "Preciso me encontrar". Enjoy!



Be brave!




P.S. Who's sweet here? ^_^


Lost in Translation

Cleopatra used to rule,
But she got nothing on me now
Lana Del Ray, "Last Girl On Earth"

Fuck my class master, we HAVE HAD lessons today! Well, it was a free time and chemistry, but anyway we'll have to go to school on the 31th of May too! Damn it, I've lost a bet to my friend.
Yesterday the friend, my best friend and I went for a walk, and we were in the park, so today all my people asked me something like "How could you be there? There're ticks!" Oh man, what the ticks? Everything was so fine.
Talking about "Oh man". My English tutor gave me an article with an interesting title "Oh, man! Living the high life in Oman" some lessons ago. I thought it was an old article, but then I found it in the space of the Internet, and the article about the resort in Oman was published only on the 9th May this 2013 on the web-site of "Washington Post". Actually, the author did his work very well, he writes pretty fascinating, but I've understood I can't translate it in a good way in Russian immediatly, I need time to choose good literary expressions. And when I make a translation not instantly, it becomes nice.
Actually I haven't seen the movie "Lost In Translation", but maybe one day the time will come. Hey, Festival de Cannes is on. I've read there was a premier of the movie with adorable Tom Hiddleston I want to watch now. The movie is "Only Lovers Left Alive", and OH MY GOD the Russian premier will be only in December! Why is it so long to waaaait?? I won't use holy Internet to precipitate. In general, the story's about vampires, love and art - a classic set. Besides Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt and our Russian guy Anton Yelchin appear there.


At least I haven't seen "The Great Gatsby" yet!! I seem to know probably every little thing about the movie, but I haven't watched it! So little time's left to watch it in the cinema.
I won't name the song of the day, because our day has only started. Right now I'm listening to gorgeous Lana Del Rey. Let you do it too.





Be brave to wait till the song of the day

Undisclosed Desires

Hi there!
I couldn't use my Internet for a couple of days because I didn't pay for it on time. But here I go.
On Sunday my music friend, a school leaver, had a "last bell". It means they don't have lessons anymore and wait and prepare till their final exams. She'd invited our mutual music friend and me, but we couldn't come.
Also that day my "godbrother" had his Birthday, he turned 17. Actually I didn't want to go there, but his mother and he himself had simply forced me. Well, I was bored again.
Today I've spend my day off (not holiday yet) with my music friend (not a school leaver). We've been watching the 1st season of "Sherlock" BBC, but we haven't finished. Anyway we've had a good time, it's been so nice! She's shown me some cool videos I didn't watched because of my laziness.
Some days ago I discovered cool YouTube guys named "Pentatonix". They sing a capello their own compositions and make covers. I found out them with this one:


Aren't they cute? "Pentatonix" has won a glut of prizes in various competitions.
Tomorrow I'll have a day off too, but it doesn't cancel my English lesson. The day after tomorrow I'll have the last day of education, and TA-DA! Here comes our summer holidays!!! 
Talking about summer, I must admit the weather outside has got much better during last weekend. I can say it's even hot. For May on Sakhalin. I can't wait to wear my new clothes.
And the song of the day... Has "Undisclosed Desires" by unbelievable "Muse" already been TSOTD? Even if yes, today they're on top too.

 

I think this song's dedicated to "1984" too as well as "Resistance" and many songs from the album "The Resistance". This book had effected on the guys a lot that time.



Be brave! Keep the connection

News. Woodkid.

I have 2 kinds of news: good and bad, - a classic set.
I'd like to start with a bad one. My cousine swindled me, my teacher and her family. It's so horrible! I wonder if she ever dares to call me one more time now. People are always right saying "Trust but verify". All's for the best.
Close sad mood! There're more good news. Firstly, almost everything's done for my travel to the USA; the only things to do are to change money to dollars and go! Secondly, I'm going to be an excellent pupil this year, no 4/B - only the best marks, even for chemistry and economics! WHO DA BOSS HERE?!
Tomorrow I'll perform with the chorus, and I won't miss my economics lesson - too bad. Also tomorrow I should bring all the documets for my header to organize my presence with them in Japan. Oh damn, I have to  fill in an abstract about myself. It's a mere trifle, but in any case it takes some time. If everything's OK, I'll go to Japan in 10 days after my arriving home from the USA.
I've just eaten a mountain of sweets and don't give a shit.
The weather's absolutely aweful. No, there's no snow finally, but it's still cold to the core.
My friend sent me some cool music, and these guys are Woodkid. Strange that I haven't listen to them earlier. There're songs I like the most.



And the song of the day will be their song "Ghost Lights", so great.


Waking up in a world surrounded by flames
Where everything I liked is about to fade
How could you be the one if you're not the same
If in the hands of gods you have lost your way

How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
I will never fall down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
How ever hard I pray to remake you mine
I will never feel down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights

Waking up in the fog, the dust and the pain
And of the sunny days, no traces remain
How could you be the one if you sail away
Without you I can't stand the sound of the rain

How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
I will never fall down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
How ever hard I pray to remake you mine
I will never feel down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights

How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
I will never fall down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
How ever hard I pray to remake you mine
I will never feel down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights

Moreover the friend gave me a pic I want to share with you

Movie's Day. Part II

Finally I've the rest of the power to write about some movies I've seen lately.

A week ago I watched a miraculous movie "New Year's Eve". Yeah, don't be surprised I watched it in the mid of May, Russian TV likes so. I'd wanted to watch the film for a long time, and here the occasion appeared. The main aim was to see pretty Lea Michele not as Rachel Berry, and Lie was so cool. Also Zac Efron and Ashton Kutcher were awsome and sweet, typical stuff for girls. A line recalling "Sex and The City" in our mind from the mouth of Sarah Jessica Parker was hilarious enough, am I right?
End up, I laughed and cried, shortly - liked the movie.




The next movie is a Russian biographic drama"Legend #17". It's about Valeri Kharlamov, a famous incredible Soviet ice hockey player. I'd never thought I'd like a film about ice hockey and their players, but Russian cinematography happened to change my mind.




Also I've watched a short ITV series "Lost In Austen", 2008. It's a fantasy adaptation of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Loosely following the novel plot, modern Amanda enters through a portal in her bathroom, to join the Bennet family and affect events disastrously. (Thanks, Wikipedia, as usually). It has 4 parts and uncertain end, but anyways it doesn't spoil the whole series. Moreover, Mrs. Bennet's played by River Song! Of course, you understand me - Alex Kingston takes the part of the mother.



 The last thing I'd like to tell is that I've watched an episode of the 2nd season of "The Hour". Unfortunately, the series is going to be... closed. So pity, true true. Even though it's dark, sometimes hard to understand, but still interestind. BBC itself says to love this show, but they had to choose. Maybe, they will resurrect it later? BTW Ben commented to like this show and his character too.




And the song of the day will be one more song from the soundtrack of "The Great Gatsby". It's "Bang Bang" by funny Will.I.Am, actually the premiere - the music video was uploaded on the singer's VEVO YouTube channel only about 15 hours ago!


(Verse)
I love her, can’t leave her,
Forever I’ll always need her,
She lie, but I believe her,
Lovesick I got that fever.
Love stupid, I know it,
Love stupid, I know it,
I know, cause I’m a fool in love.

My baby shot me down again,
Shot me down with the love and it go bang bang.
That girl’s a killer from a gang,
Shot me down with the love and it go bang bang.

And oh, I love her so, that’s why I gotta let her know
That I’ll be here for her to always love her down.

And maybe that’s the truth,
The clock can tick and ain’t no use,
I wonder when my tux can see you when you’re down.

(Chorus)
Bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Love him down, down
I shot my baby with a bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Love him down, down
I shot my baby with a bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

(Verse)
I love her, can’t leave her,
Forever I’ll always need her,
She lie, but I believe her,
Lovesick I got that fever.
Love stupid, I know it,
Love stupid, I know it,
I know, cause I’m a fool in love.

My baby shot me down, down, down, down
Shot me down with the love and it went pow-pow
I love my baby’s freaky style,
But my baby’s always sneaking out.

But damn, I love her so,
That’s why I gotta let her know
That I’ll be here for her, I’ll always be her man.
And baby, that’s the truth,
You’re my chick, bottlecruise,
I got that roof, I put that diamond on her hand.

(Chorus)
Bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Love him down, down
I shot my baby with a bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Love him down, down
I shot my baby with a bang, bang,
Got him with a bang,
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

(Bridge)
Oh, yeah, I love my baby
Hey baby yeah I love you,
Stupid is what stupid do,
Tom and Jerry and Scooby Do,
Oh baby, I’m a fool for you.
Come here, baby, be my lollypop,
I make it better, make the booty drop.
Hey baby, can’t get you out my brains,
Damn girl, you’re such a sexy thing.
Pretty little lady
And my baby makes me go down down
My baby makes me go down down
My baby makes me go down down
My baby makes me go down down…

Plus here's the life performance of this song by Will.I.Am on American Idol

Only Teardrops

Yesterday I was too tired to write anything, though there were things to write about. Of course, I'm about the Grand Final of Eurovision Song Concert 2013! Grand Final is the only reason I wake up at 6 a.m. on Sunday once a year. And the Grand Final 2013 was nice too. You see, bookmakers and I were right giving Denmark the 1st place. Our girl Dina got the 5th position, but everyone thought she'd get a higher one.
Gladly the geographic system of voting didn't work this year, some results were really unexpectable. On the other hand, it's a little bit vexing that Russia didn't recieve a point from Azerbaijan.
Moreover, it was nice to see my favourite Eric Saade, helping the host Petra in the Green Room during the final of the Grand Final! [TAUTOLOGY-STYLE]
As far as you remember, I already made the winner song "Only Teardrops" the song of the day 2-3 posts ago. Therefore I offer you another song I like from Eurovision this year - it's "Tomorrow" by the paediatrician Gianluca Bezzina from Malta. My friend called him "local Mr. Schue", and I agree with her - they're the same cute.


Probably, I'm about to miss some lessons in the end of the week, and even my 'favourite' economics. I wonder if our economics teacher a.k.a. Red Beotch misses me.


Since yesterday I've been feeling myself like I'm ill, although I'm not. I hope I'm not. I don't know why, but yesterday after watching Eurovision I started feeling bad, and it hasn't stopped even today. Ok, I've got my sore throat since I was at the music school prom, because I could shout out there a lot, though I wouldn't say so. But how can I explain my all condition?

Be brave, don't get ill on the treshold of summer



P.S.

 P.P.S. I watched the season final of "Doctor Who" and did understand nothing.

Party

I've just come from the prom in my music school. Well, being polite, I can tell it was nice, but listen to me - we were better. Today we haven't even had dances! We haven't danced!! What a graduation party in our music school without dancing in our hall?! Our sound producer is God of this matter. Fine. I'm bringing the party here.







In general, the evening's been AMAZING. I've finally meet a friend of mine, the last time I saw her was the Christmas, I suppose. So, 3 crazy girls have been having fabulous time in their alma-mater, doing mad thing, laughing damn loud, enjoing each other.
Yey! Tomorrow's also a big day! There'll be a Grand Final of Eurovision Song Contest 2013! I wish good luck every participant I like, and Mother Russia as well, even though other countries should wish and better send her their wishes expressed in terms of points.
Choose your own song of the day, sweeties.
Be brave
