Okay so I've been seriously nerding over the thought of Pacific Rim since it was first announced! The thought of three of the most super fucking rad~core actors on the planet in a movie with "big fucking monsters and big fucking robots", is enough to make any geek smile! The actors I'm talking about are The Wire's Stringer Bell, a.k.a. Idris Elba, Sons of Anarchy's Jax Teller, a.k.a. Charlie Hunnam AND It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Charlie Kelly, a.k.a. Charlie Day!! Now these are three of my all-time favourite actors out of my all-time favourite shows...and to get a nerd~gasm of that proportion, it's pretty fucking epic!! SOOOO, it was with great pleasure that I opened up my copy of Total Film just there and not only found a big ass poster of Jeremy Renner for The Bourne Legacy, I also stumbled upon a VERY SEXY looking Idris Elba in Pacific Rim!!
Obviously a del Toro film could not be complete without his work "boyfriend" Ron Perlman, Clay Morrow to Charlie Hunnam's Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy. I was already beyond psyched for this movie, and now seeing Idris Elba looking this freakin' rad...I'm all the happier!! Pacific Rim is slated for a Summer 2013 release, and all I'm saying is that I fucking hope the world doesn't end on December 22nd...that would be a BIG fucking shame!!! :P
Alrighty...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that Sons of Anarchy is a show that I love dearly. In fact, I love it so much, I'd happily rate it just below The X Files and on equals with LOST as one of my single most favourite shows of all time! And coming from me, that is a MAJOR nerd~tastic nod! The fact that this show is nothing to do with aliens or time travel, nor does it have any other Mulder~ific traits...it is just downright fucking awesome!!! Amazing storytelling, superb acting, some of the greatest characters I've ever seen, action, violence and most of all, heart! <3 You care for these characters, like a lot! ;)
So with Season 4 starting tonight on 5 USA, I thought what better reason to do a "YOU MUST WATCH THIS SHOW!" rant! Soooo, first of all, check out the Seasons 1-3 catch up video below...just to get you ready.....
.....and now check out some of the previews for Season 4! These are the FX ones, for some reason I cannot find the 5 USA trailer, which sucks as it's really good!
Now I'm not the kind of person to get obsessed with crap, not in the slightest. If you disagree then we can arrange a date for a punch up at a later date, haha. When I love something as much as I do SONS, you know there has gotta be something special about it! And randomly speaking of punch ups, if you like some good old violence then check out the video below, haha. I think Jax wins with the amount of people who have been on the other end of his fist. Although Gemma probably wins for most badass hit, when she whacks Cherry in the face with a skateboard!
Being the cheat that I am, I've actually seen Season 4 already, I love this show waaaaaaaaay too much to have waited for it to be aired in the UK, haha. In fact, here's a blog I did when the show was actually first back on in the States and the opening scene was sneaked online, heehee. It is freakin' awesome and I can't geek out over it enough, bwahahaha!!! But yeah, I did cheat and I'm glad I did. That still doesn't make me not totally excited for it airing in the UK tonight though! Any excuse, haha. Series creator Kurt Sutter (below in his character of Otto) is on the top of his game and I cannot wait to see where he takes my boys next!
Now even SONS fans in the UK have probably heard that one major thing is missing this season, and I'm not even talking about a person....I'm talking about Jax's HAIR!!! Now when I first saw a pic of him minus the hair, it was a case of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh...however, within a millisecond (lol) I had grown to like it...and then love it! And I have to admit, I did love Charlie Hunnam's reasons for doing so. Check out his thoughts at the link below! :)
Before you get some Season 4 goodness though my peeps in the UK, if you've not checked out the APPISODES then I'd definitely recommend it. They fill you in on some of the things that have went on between the end of Season 3 and the start of Season 4! The one entitled PAYPHONE is definitely a much needed watch, even if it makes me go EEEEEEEEE and not in a good way, haha. A lot of what happens in the first episode is to do with what happens in this Appisode! So check it out, NOW! :D
A really cute moment when Tara visits Jax in prison and brings their new son Thomas with her. And Gemma of course, haha.
Get some basketball on yo! :D
Another pivotal moment that happens when the boys are in jail that plays a BIG part in Season 4!
Now don't just take my word for SAMCRO's awesomeness, listen to some of my favourite ladies too! :D And also please take a moment to check out their websites as well. :)
"It's a sexy, gritty, non-soap opera...soap opera. :-) Well, and there's the delicious Jax whom you want all to yourself but don't mind sharing with the female leads because they are tough amazing chicks!"
"Great writing and great acting! Violent, harsh and sexy in all the right places. Strong female characters and strong male characters combine to make it three dimentional. The stories take their time and the actors actually get to act! Also one other thought, it can be so funny!!!! Dark humour at its best!"
"Speaking as a girl who does NOT want to bang Jax Teller (lol), I can safely say Sons of Anarchy is a show that appeals to everyone. It has nail-biting tension, gut-wrenching drama, and ass-kicking action. It's hard to pick a favorite character because they are all so awesome. And for women who are doubtful, there's always the eye candy or the very strong, well-written female roles. Gemma alone is probably TV's greatest woman. You know a show is good when it has me screaming at the television one episode (Nooo! Don't you touch her!!") and wiping away tears the next episode. Oh, and I forgot to mention - EPIC FUCKING SOUNDTRACK."
Speaking of the EPIC FUCKING SOUNDTRACK, the other day I did a blog that featured songs from the show as well as other videos I'd found on YouTube that are SAMCRO perfect! If you've got a moment then please do check them out! I especially LOVE the Placebo version of Running Up That Hill...in fact, I'm totally obsessed with it right now, haha.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy these videos and links and I hope you enjoy tonights premier my fellow UK peeperooo's! Season 4 is possibly the best season so far and the episode HANDS not only has my favourite preview of the season, it is also possibly my favourite episode! If you've already watched Season 4 and not seen this preview then check it out...and if you're a spoiler whore, I do apologise for making it so easy for you to see such an awesome spoiler, haha! It's just TOO GOOD not to share, lol! :D
And ooh, sneak peek spoiler pic from Season 4 opener! <3 Look how adorable Jax and Tara are! :)
So it is with great pleasure that I can say my favourite bikers are back on the air tonight...yes, Sons of Anarchy returns to FX tonight, after what seems the longest break in history!!! It isn't really and it was just as bad with the X Files and Lost, but I had forgotten how badly it sucked awaiting the return of a show I'm totally obsessed with! A lot has changed since we last saw them...including Jax who now has a sexy new short haircut! I can't wait to see what else has changed! I can't wait to see him reunited with Tara...and Gemma, the most kick ass woman on TV! Now if you're like me and can't wait till tonight, or tomorrow in my case as I'll have to wait for it to come online...you can check out a sneak peek of the first 4 mins and 16 seconds at the link below! :)
