Have I mentioned that I'm really looking forward to Tomas Alfredson's movie adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy? Hmmm. I think I may have...like, maybe, 1, 2...3 million times.
Here's the crazy awesome first trailer again:
TTSS doesn't have a Philippine release date yet, and I know it will probably bore the socks out of most people anyway, if and when it is shown here, but I'm not sure I care, just as long as I get to see it. Never in my life had I ever wanted to be in the UK more than last September 16, when TTSS was released there. And the cast! How can you not look forward to a film that stars Gary Oldman (an absolute rock star among actors), Colin Firth (HRH himself), the prolific Mark Strong (whom I've seen in so many films, I almost feel a deep loyalty to him now), the apparently delicious Tom Hardy (I haven't watched any of his films, so I can't attest to this yet), John Hurt (Mr. Ollivander!), Ciaran Hinds (Aberforth!), and a guy named Benedict Cumberbatch. Seriously, I used to look forward to watching Michael Fassbender's movies just because I liked his name, but I've found a new favorite in Benedict Cumberbatch (who will, incidentally, voice Smaug in the coming Hobbit movie).
But, mostly, my true favorite, and the person I truly feel loyal to, is Smiley. Le Carre's Smiley, Guinness' Smiley, Oldman's Smiley. Doesn't matter. For George I would steal the entire Circus library.

Haha, did you know that Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock Holmes in the TV Series "Sherlock"? Haha. That should make you like the guy even more.
It's a pretty cool series. A modern Sherlock Holmes.
I know! Watched the whole thing nah. Mao ra jud tawn sya ang naka-get-through nako sa akong nausea days.
