Wherever You Go

Firstly I have to talk about A Rocket To The Moon
I feel like every few months I end up talking about how sad it is that another band has broken up but this time I was caught completely by surprise. Usually when a band breaks up they haven't put out music in a while or they are signs and although it's sad, you sort of see it coming. That wasn't the case with ARTTM. They had recently put out an album and have a big US tour coming up so I just didn't expect it.
I guess I'm lucky I got to see them once but they were one of those bands where I kept thinking about their next show here and how next time I would get to meet them all and now there will be no next time. I'm really upset.
Their upcoming tour is one of my dream lineups and god I am so incredibly jealous of the people who have the chance to go to those shows. Like SO FUCKING JEALOUS

Yesterday I went on twitter and saw that there was a video chat going on with the singers of each band from the tour so I watched it. I was laughing the entire time and they were being so funny and cute and aaah they're so great. Also Justin looked super attractive.

"This is how I sit on chatroulette" - John 

Towards the end, John and Joel's videos cut out so it was just Justin and Nick for a little while and they played their guitars and it was nice but then I started to get sad because that was potentially the last time I would get to see them play (apart from videos online but you know).
I'm going to miss ARTTM so so much. I wish I could have gotten the chance to see them one last time. It really does suck when bands break up. 

I'll always have the memory of going to rooftop bar with Jenny and watching them from afar (in a totally not stalkery way)

Brendon Urie got married to Sarah Orzasdfggfdsa (that's not actually her name, I just never learnt it but now it's Urie so I'll remember that)

I wasn't as upset as I thought I would be.
Yes judge all you want but it's Brendon Urie 

He's really strange now though
Have you seen his vine videos? Also that new haircut of his is terrible (it's not what he has in that picture, he looks really good there, he's shaved off the side of his head now)  

Speaking of terrible hair, RK dyed his hair blonde and just no

Bryan Singer released the first photo of James McAvoy for Days of Future Past and I went a little crazy when I saw it. I mean look at it.

I was laughing and crying (not literally) over it for a while until I calmed down and looked at it again. Firstly how very 70s is that outfit, I mean that shirt my god. I don't understand what is going on with that facial hair and his hair. How does he go from hot professor to hot dirty hippy, I mean look at what he looks like in xmfc. 

I understand it's the 70s but really? I hope he doesn't look like that during the entire movie, I mean if he's opened up the school in this, what kind of parents would be sending their kids to stay with a guy looking like that? We'll just have to see. Singer has continued the photos (patiently waiting for one of fassy now) there was one of Hank and Logan together 

I'm confused about some things but mainly, why does Hank look human? Maybe he comes up with a serum that temporarily works? Either way I hope he stays in Beast form for most of the film. As much as I enjoy looking at Nicholas Hoult's face, I love Beast as a character and I want to see more development with him. 

I'll stop talking about that now because once I start, I'll keep going

Star Trek Into Darkness came out and I recently found out that the character Benedict Cumberbatch played is called Khan Noonien Singh. Now I'm not very familiar with Star Trek apart from the first movie in the franchise but that name most definitely does not sound like a white person's name to me. Sure enough, after a quick google search, I found out that the character was Indian (which is pretty obvious with the whole singh being in the name), so why was a white person cast in the role of an Indian character? It's not the first time this has been done and most definitely not the last time because Hollywood whitewashes so many things and I guess I'm just sick of it and you may go 'oh my Benedict Cumberbatch is a great actor' and I agree, I think he's great but the fact that an Indian actor wasn't even considered for the part makes me angry. Times when a white character has been cast with an actor of colour, people seem to explode and get upset over it but when the reverse is done, it seems to be okay because that actor is a good actor. It's just annoying is all but I don't see things changing soon and that's upsetting.

The Eurovision finals were last weekend. I love Eurovision! It was held in Sweden this year and had a solo host instead of the usual two so things were a lot less awkward. The host sang this song about Sweden and it was so great. Other highlights were Greece and the main one for me was Romania. If you haven't seen his performance, you HAVE to.

I started watching Hannibal. It was going to be one of the shows I was going to save for the holidays but I just couldn't wait.
It's AMAZING!
I love it so much and I think everyone should watch it. Everything from the way it's filmed (the show is so pretty!) to the stories to the acting and character and it may sound weird but the murders too. They're so interesting and each one has been done is such a unique and disturbing way. I really do hope they get renewed for a second season. I hate it when good shows get cut early. 

Tumblr has been pretty crazy over it, especially over Mads Mikkelsen whose name I learnt is pronounced 'mass miggelsen' 

I actually really like the fandom for this show because for a show that's so dark, the fandom is so crazy, it's just full of bad food jokes and jokes about the relationship between Hannibal and Will Graham who is played by Hugh Dancy (who I fancy very much now (I had to)). I love his character and how messed up he is and how he's getting messed up more and more and I love the stray dogs he adopts and his relationships with all the different characters and how cute he is in those glasses of his.
Sidetracked a bit but yes, do watch Hannibal, it's a really good show and I hope for many more seasons.

Oh also me being terrible, I ended up watching all five seasons of Parks and Recreation in a little over a week and I love it

Discovering new tv shows is the best and the worst

I watched the first episode of Avengers Assemble which is the show that replaced Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. 

The show is set to start in July but one episode was released and I'm not sure how I feel about it just yet. I really miss EMH and I miss the Black Panther, the new show has the Falcon instead because he's going to be in the new Captain America movie and this show is based on the movie-verse. Why we needed a show based on the movies, I don't understand. That's what the movies are there for. EMH was perfectly fine and we got to see characters that haven't been in the movies and it had good ratings too, argh why does Marvel always screw up when it comes to their animated shows. I guess I can't judge more until I've seen more episodes of the show but it felt weird because I don't feel like the voice actors suit some of the characters, especially Iron Man, and I don't know, I just miss EMH.
