True Confessions

The other day, I randomly stumbled upon an interview between Georgie Henley, who plays Lucy Pevensie, and James McAvoy, who plays Mr. Tumnus in the first Narnia film, and I was all smiles while watching it. They have the cutest relationship ever. James McAvoy talks to 10 year-old Georgie as if she's his equal, and their interactions are adorable. I of course went on to watch a couple more interviews between the two of them, and they were just as cute. I'm going to post them here for you to watch. If you want to that is. If you don't care about this kind of stuff, then obviously you probably don't want to watch. But I'm the person who watches all the extras on the DVD, so I found these interviews interesting in that I learned some behind the scenes information, and I also got to see how the actors interact. And it made me love James McAvoy twice as much as I ever did after seeing him in Penelope.

This one is my favorite:


And some others:




This one has an interview between Edmund and the White Witch in the middle, but it's all James and Georgie in the beinning and the end.


Watching all these interviews also made me realize how much the American school system fails, generally speaking. It seems to me that Georgie Henley is particularily loquacious, and sounds intelligent in the process, as do the other kids from the Narnia films. I'm not basing my opinion solely on these interviews, but on all the interviews I've ever watched that involve European children, whether British, Scottish, Irish, etc...They always sound very intelligent, and well educated. Maybe it's the accent, or maybe it's simply due to the slight differences in vocabulary between England and America, but either way, I wish Americans spoke like British people do, not necessarily with the accent, but with a similar vocabulary and sentence structure. I think everyone would then have a chance to at least sound more intelligent, whether it's true or not.

I also thought I'd post a couple interviews between Colin Firth and Ben Barnes because I love their relationship. They talk to each other in that sarcastically rude sort of way that I love. I find it entertaining. Ben Barnes and Colin Firth starred in Dorian Gray together, and also in Easy Virtue, which is a fantastic movie by the way.

This first interview begins with Jessica Biel, then it goes to Ben and Colin. The second interview is just between Ben and Colin. It's long, and it has some slightly boring parts, but it also has some pretty funny parts. And once again I pretty much just enjoy watching their interactions.



I think my favorite part in this interview coming up is when the interviewer mentions Mamma Mia. Listen to Ben and Colin's conversation they have under their breath while the interviewer is talking, simply bickering back and forth about how Ben didn't like a certain scene, and Colin assures him he did. I found it amusing.



As you may have noticed, I wasted a lot of time on Youtube the other day.

I Heart Gary Lightbody

Who is Gary Lightbody? Well, he is the lead singer of a band that goes by the name of Snow Patrol. If you're not sure who they are, then I'm sure you've probably heard the song Chasing Cars, which is by Snow Patrol. Chasing Cars is a great song, but so are pretty much all of Snow Patrol's songs. They just recently released the music video for their single "Called Out in the Dark," and I'm am totally in love with it at the moment. It made me realize the greatness that Gary Lightbody possesses.Please watch...
