Yeah, when he says “what the hell is that?” I really do believe he’s an American. Maybe not an Oklahoman.

You know, looking at him and listening to him here, I think most people would NEVER connect wet teacher guy with Thorin Oakenshield. And I really like Wet Teacher Guy. Especially when he says, “I’ve got to find my son . . .”

True, and of course, thereâs the trademark Armitage bellowing. Seriously, I am really proud of him re the Yank accent. Oh, I will be having my own editing fun with the screencaps.

I have a few up at my latest blog post, SH, but I am sure I will be doing some more. Now I need to go wash my hair so when I go to get my facial wax tomorrow, I wonât be ashamed. Itâs like cleaning up before the housekeeper shows up LOL (oh I wish I HAD a housekeeper!! And a yard boy . . . )

Between my FMS and the dodgy wrist issue, I struggle to even get a shower and get my hair shampooed and conditioned without getting tired out (I feel so embarrassed saying that, but itâs true). So housework definitely falls on the back burner. Especially when Mr. Armitage keeps popping up in new promo stills and trailers and screencaps . . . the cutie.

Oh sweetie…. don’t EVER be embarrassed – FMS has got to be one of the toughest things in the world to live with. You should be proud of all that you DO get done, rather than the little that you DON’T! Or I’ll just have to be proud FOR you! So there 🙂
(Other than work, I have no excuse other than my native “artistic temperament” (that’s what I call it & I’m sticking to it), and perhaps a dash of “midlife ADHD”! Oh, and I guess that other thing you mentioned 😉

What a week to be a Armitage blogger!! Right??? Armitage with an American accent, I need to unpack that a bit.
But gwad, is this film going to test my love for Armitage???? So NOT AT ALL in my wheelhouse. I HATE disaster films.
But it looks Like a fun summer popcorn tent pool mindless film. I dunno.

(File this one under “how my mind works”.) Trailer reminded me so much of this song- yeah, I know there’s a new cover, but this one’s a better fit for “Wet Teacher” and his vibe, for multiple reasons:
Besides, it’s Bonnie freaking Tyler 🙂

Oh it all looks good and I like disaster films generally but of course we usually know what is realistic and what is just hyping it up. A tornado can be a truly horrendous thing but they aren’t satisfied with that when making a disaster film. It has to be even more. Enjoyable for a summer escape movie.

in a way, maybe it’s good if we can tell that it’s not realistic — makes it less scary.

I haven’t seen a trailer yet but as soon as I saw the screencaps with him under the umbrella all I could invisage was him belting out “I’m singing in the rain……just singing in the rain…. ”

I understand, too. If I am perfectly honest, I am not entirely looking forward to the final Hobbit film, although I am sure Richard will be magnificent once more as Thorin . . . because I know how it all ends. Richard does do angst and pathos so very well, but it will be nice to see him in something like ITS that (hopefully) won’t rip my heart out and stomp all over it at the end.
