Happy birthday to Squeee!

Holy moly, it's been a year already! Or rather, it's been three. I can't believe I've managed to post regularly on a blog for three years now. Uh-MAY-zing! :) Thank you for reading this blog, and thank you for leaving a comment now and then, if you do. (Lurking is fine, not like I don't do that myself!)

I started this blog to have an outlet for all my pent-up fangirliness, and I think I've succeeded in that. Now, I just like to have reviews of films I've seen so that I pay more attention to what's happening. Writing them down also means I remember whether or not I've seen or read something, and maybe, just maybe, it will be useful to anyone out there who loves to watch films just to be entertained and is wondering whether to watch the latest Twilight flick or Tropic Thunder. Or a Jane Eyre adaptation.

Things to look forward to for the rest of 2012: The first part of The Hobbit - which is now a trilogy. Not sure I like that or not yet, considering I struggled to understand why they had split that measly book into two films. Oh well. It's still going to be a few months away, so let's reserve judgement until December.

Anyway, hope you enjoy my often incoherent mumblings about films and books and things, and if you don't ... well, you probably won't read this, so it doesn't matter anyway!

Thanks once again, Dear Reader, you are awesome! :)

    Three years! Well done!!! Your reviews are not incoherent - they're funny, well organised and just good. (Like the rating system.)

      Thanks! It's true, three years is a long time, at least for a blog. Sometimes I think "ugh" at writing, especially when I see the list of films I've seen but not yet written about, but then I shrug and tell myself to get over it, because I do enjoy it. If I didn't have a blog, I'd just be watching loads of films for the hell of it ... which isn't a bad thing, it's just that now at least I can justify it by saying "but I'm going to review it on my blog!" ;)

      yeah, I use it as therapy, so sometimes when I think, "not tonight," that will motivate me. And I love the writing part of it once I get going.

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
