Do You Hate Me, Dominic Cooper?

.

Is that what this is? Because I can't really understand why else you would do this to me. Via DH:

"Dominic Cooper, Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor are all set to star in an adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's bestselling novel "Half of a Yellow Sun" for BFI...

This follows several characters including a university professor (Ejiofor) and his girlfriend (Newton), their houseboy along with several more and sets it against the backdrop of the Nigerian-Biafran War in the late 60's when southern Nigeria attempted to secede and form their own country.

Cooper would play British ex-pat studying in Nigeria. Nigerian playwright Biyi Bandele is making his directorial debut on the film which Andrea Calderwood and Gail Egan are producing. Shooting kicks off in March."

What happened is Dom must have come here to the site and seen all my swooning about his bum and got weirded out so he searched around the site for the person in the world that I like least of all and since Chloe Moretz was busy and Harvey Weinstein doesn't act he went and found that vile stick bug Thandie "Insufferable" Newton and said "Hey, let's mess with this bum stalker!" Cue this news. It's the only explanation! He's so spiteful! Ugh, torment, torment. I think this was like the third or fourth level of Dante's Inferno, wasn't it? This right here. Well at least Chewie's there too, he'll make things better.

You hate Chloe Moretz? How can someone hate Chloe Moretz? She picks the most harmless roles and is adorable in interviews.

I try not to rag on her too much because she's young and she does seem sweet in real person generally from the little I've paid attention but I HATE HER ONSCREEN WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS. Ahem. She's such a ham! Ugh! She drives me crazy! And now I've been mean to a little girl. Sigh. See what you made me do, anon? ;)

Hating Hit-girl is a crime against humanity, mate. Besides, Chloe isn't shoved down our throats like Dakota Fanning or Haley Joel Osment was. She usually goes for Oscar-type or indie movies.

I demand you re-think your entire thought process and give her another chance.

I'm anonymous, so I can make these demands ;p

JA, will back you up on this one: I don't like Chloe Moretz either.

Dakota Fanning and Haley Joel Osment (until he started looking "un-cute") may be annoying and overhyped but they're reasonably good actors. Can't say the same about Moretz. And yes, she's really young, but poses on the red carpet and gives interviews as if she was at least 15 years older. You can find a good take on Moretz at Laineygossip, by the way.

P.S.: I found your blog by chance (I was digging the internet for Cooper news and pictures after I watched him in The Devil's Double). As a recent "convert" to Cooperism, I have to say I love that you have a crush on him too. The other website I regularly visit doesn't post that much about him, and when that happens, he's bashed for having cheated on Seyfried.
