"All reading should be nonrequired. At least for the true reader—for reading is a natural function, much like breathing. If every book we encounter is a blind date, then love stories statistically will be outnumbered by the disappointments. But for the true reader, curiosity becomes an essential spiritual function and mystery its ultimate goal. In our books, we seek not answers, really, to that nebulous longing our heart feels eternally; we actually seek the great questions."

Tom Hiddleston’s impersonations of Owen Wilson, Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson

It’s almost 5am and I should be getting ready for our flight this afternoon… but here I am exploring the ‘Tom Hiddleston’ tag, uttering sooo kyot every after post. Doomed?

Plus, Tom Hiddleston’s Song of the Day. He may have already included most of Bon Iver’s songs from Bon Iver, Bon Iver (which makes me love Hiddles more).

A Study in Loki: The Smile

Loki Loki Loki!

(or the “Hey! I just finished watching The Avengers and I want to spazz in front of your face” post.)

Trying my best to be calm and collected. 

• Oh please. Loki just needs a massive hug from all the infinite number of creatures in the universe. Hulk and Thor could do the trick alone though.
• My sister gets the subtle references! That proves she only pays attention to superhero movies. 
• The lines were surprisingly funny; the banter, sarcasm and Hulk’s hate for everyone. 
• Only a few people in the audience got the humor, references and inside jokes in the movie (I’m judging you!).
• Tony/Steve/Thor bromance! 
• Robert Downey Jr. is and always will be the best Tony Stark. He is the only one who could give enough justice to Stark’s persona.

"This was the first time in my life that so many things would never happen again."

"It was the kind of sad I didn’t mind, and so I just listened, letting all the happiness and the sadness of this ending swirl around in me, each sharpening the other. For the longest time, it felt kind of like my chest was cracking open, but not precisely in an unpleasant way."

9 of 150: A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011)

Following years of growing apart, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar’s door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold’s house ends with the “high grade” contents-and Harold’s father-in-law’s prize Christmas tree-going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree takes them through party heaven-and almost blows Christmas Eve sky high.

Here’s a bonus NPH for you. (because what is a Harold and Kumar movie without NPH?)
