The Hobbit!

YES. Hobbit casting. Shit is happening.

And it's Martin Freeman as Bilbo. Scheduling conflicts must have been resolved (and if this means he's not going to be in Sherlock series 2 I will be SAD PANDA. But I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the case, so awesome).

Still no official word on Ian Mckellen or Andy Serkis apparently.... And I need both of them to be in it. NEED.

The game is once again afoot!

Sherlock Holmes 2 started shooting today!

Between this and series two of BBC Sherlock 2011 is going to be an awesome year for Sherlock stuff. Not that this last year has been in any way disappointing... Keep up the good work universe!

Arbitrary Appreciation: Movie Posters that use the "tilt head down and make eye contact" pose

Ray Park as Darth Maul demonstrating the "tilt head down and make eye contact" pose.

This poster was the first poster I owned that used the "tilt head down and make eye contact" pose in order to make someone look epic. This shortcut to epicness is used in countless posters, some deserving, some really really not.

There are more. Lots more. 

Warning: Trying to recreate this pose without a marketing team, reasonably high budget, brand name or certain level of fame is a surefire way to look very silly.

BRB getting excited about December 16, 2011

Stephen Fry is going to be Mycroft Holmes in the Untitled Sherlock Holmes Sequel. This pleases me greatly. You have no idea.

I'm also very happy that The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's Noomi Rapace is playing the female lead.

Yes to all of this. Just. Yes.
