Good Morning, World

.
A happy 33 to Eddie Redmayne today! These shots of him getting the standing tub treatment are from the miniseries The Pillars of the Earth, which I have not seen - I have seen the movie Eddie very well might get an Oscar nomination for this year, the Stephen Hawking bio-pic The Theory of Everything, and I haven't written a word about it! But then... I don't really have many to offer on it. It's a fine movie, and Eddie's good in it; it's just it - along with The Imitation Game for that matter (although TIG pissed me off some) - strikes me as pretty, middle-of-the-road Oscar-bait without a whole lot of personality that will outlast this golden statue season. I guess we'll see. The most memorable things to me at this point several weeks out are the sweaters and Charlie Cox being, well, you know, Charlie-Cox-ish (aka the king of adorable). Aww this isn't the most ringing birthday greeting for Eddie now, is it? Will you ever forgive me, Eddie's bum?

If you've read the book The Pillars of the Earth the mini-series is the worst. It completely reworks the story and not to its betterment. Despite the cast I was bitterly disappointed in it.

If you haven't read the book it still was pretty average but both Eddie and Oliver Jackson-Cohen drop trou so that's something.
