Movie Marathon but mostly a Michael Fassbender Appreciation Post

Ever since my term break started, I've been watching atleast 1 movie a day. This might be a lengthy post if done in paragraph form so in the usual format of my blog, I'll just make a list of everything! Yay!

So it all started with...

1. Lolita

  • I've heard of this novel long ago. I wasn't keen on it at first as I've read from the internet that it was an old dude in love with a young girl, and I was turned off by that idea (read: pedooo) but one day I downloaded an epub of Lolita and I actually kinda liked it, I wasn't able to finish it though. It was this quote that actually got me. It was so heartfelt and beautiful and just exuded pure love. The movie was actually pretty interesting. It wasn't the pedo movie that I expected it to be. You can just see that Humbert was just so in love with Lolita that he was willing to give up everything for her. One of the saddest parts of the movie for me is when he went to visit the very pregnant Lolita and asked her if she would go away with him. If she chose not to, she'd still get the money she asked for. She got the money and refused to go. There was a look in her eyes that just screamed "I don't care about you I just care about the $4k you're about to drop on my lousy ungrateful ass". Ugh. It almost made me cry. I hated Lolita but can I just say how crazy sexy Dominique Swain is and how lovely her clothes were in this movie?! Ugh unbelievable!!! Also, the ending left me satisfied as I found out that Lolita died in childbirth.


2. Hunger

  • For some odd reason, Jeremy Irons reminded me of Michael Fassbender who I kinda liked on X-Men: First Class. I found this movie and got interested in it since it's the story of Bobby Sands. (Not gonna lie, didn't know his name til I watched the movie) but I was familiar with his face. (I googled him). I remember him from an episode of a show in TLC. Basically the story is about Bobby Sands who fought for his rights by protesting through a hunger strike. What amazed me more than the story is Michael Fassbender (After watching this I ended up downloading around 5 more movies of him) and his skinny transformation! I loved him because of that. I love actors who are willing to change and drop down to unhealthy weight just for a role. Shows dedication. There was also this long ass dialogue between him and a priest. I mean long as dialogue. Like maybe 20 minutes or so. In a single shot, I believe. WOW. OKAY. WOW. 
 


3. Shame

  • Michael Fassbender as a sex addict. Peen shots. Sex scenes. I mean, what more do you need? He was good in this movie, as always. It was also during this movie that I found out his love interest here is his girlfriend in real life. Did a bit of background check, found out that M. Fassbender likes em chocolate skinned. I died.
I mean can we be serious here. If this man stared at me on the subway I'd pretty much get at it right then and there. Lol.
Just kidding (or am I)

  • I've wanted to watch this for a while now but I never had the time and it always slipped my mind. Finally, since I was on a Michael Fassbender movie marathon, I downloaded this! It didn't disappoint! There were some gory scenes, but nothing I couldn't handle. Too bad my Fassbender got shot in the balls.. What a way to die. Only because he did the wrong "3" sign.
  • Another movie I downloaded because of Fassbender. I was a bit obsessed, okay. Anyway I couldn't really stand the whole movie and it was all too weird for me so I ffw'd it so I was done with the whole movie in like 30 minutes or so. I skipped a lot of parts. I really found the weird squidward people engineer aliens very very odd looking and disturbing. There was also this disgusting scene where a squid was extracted from one of the scientists' stomach. It was just straight up disgusting and weird. Poor robotic Fassy wasn't enough for me to watch this whole thing. There was also an actor who looked very much like Tom Hardy but even he couldn't hold my interest. Too bad.
  • 1st reason I downloaded this: Michael Fassbender. 2nd reason: Good reviews. 3rd reason: Michael Fassbender. So he played the mum's boyfriend then the daughter kinda fell in love with him, too but eventually it was found out that he was a douchebag because he already has a family but before that he had sex with the daughter and wow ok he's sexy. Am I shallow for thinking this? I liked the movie but whenever Fassy appears on screen I just melt into a glob.
OH DEAR LORD.

  • Not a movie but a TV series. It's kinda funny, some cheap laughs and some witty puns. I like the sassy Chloe girl and June's has this bug-cuteness in her. I can't stand James Van der Beek, though.
I still have a long list of movies to watch. Hopefully I could watch them all this Christmas break! And now I leave you with a picture of the very very very sexy (REALLY SEXY) Michael Fassbender!!!!!!


You. Are. Welcome.
