BYE BYE HANNIBAL, HELLO AGENT CARTER, NO THANKS FANTASTIC FOUR + LINKS

I haven't done a fangirl post in a while. I will try to occasionally pop my head in, but I may be going on another hiatus until I finish my classes this semester. We'll see. I would love to blog all day every day if I could. Unfortunately real life prevents me from doing so. I will try to post a few upcoming reviews for 'The Martian,' 'Spectre,' 'Hunger Games,' and 'Sicario.' I had originally planned to post a review for the 'Fantastic Four' remake, but I couldn't bear to waste two hours of my precious time to see it. I love movies, but I'd rather use that time doing something else rather than watching a terrible movie. It got such bad reviews I figured what would be the point? Sometimes I change my mind and decide not to bother with a film. I'm sure in this instance I was right to do so. *Sigh. Jenna and Allie were brave enough to watch so read their review.

Well, 'Hannibal' ended it's run this past week and oh what a wild ride it was. 'Hannibal' Season 4 had its ups and downs, but it went out with a bang. However, my favorite thing about 'Hannibal' was Mads Mikkelsen, partially because I absolutely adore Mads and will watch anything with him in it, but also because the costume designers dressed him impeccably as Hannibal. EW did a fantastic tribute to everything Hannibal wore throughout all four seasons. It's epic. There's nothing better than a man in a well tailored suit, IMHO.

Watch the 'Avengers Age of Ultron' gag reel. It's actually better than the movie was. No joke. It makes me love Mark Ruffalo even more than I already did.

Thankfully 'Agent Carter' season 2 will fill the television void as a mid-season pickup. I assume that means it will start air sometime in January? January is usually a dead zone for television (and movies), but someone in Hollywood is finally realizing that some people actually watch television in January. January seems to becoming a happening month...with the limited run return of the 'X-Files' also releasing in January. EW gives us a sneak peek. Not really...I don't even know why they called it a sneak peak, but there's a picture. So go look at the picture.

River Song (Alex Kinston) will be returning to 'Doctor Who' for the Christmas Special. River Song is probably one of my favorite characters ever so this is a real treat. I was very disappointed when I originally heard that they had no plans to bring River back to Who. I'm glad the powers that be changed their minds. Although it will be interesting to see how River interacts with a new doctor played by Peter Capaldi. The dynamics between River and Matt Smith's doctor were magical.

Speaking of 'Doctor Who,' my new favorite site called "A Mighty Girl" did their own compilation of their favorite female 'Doctor Who' costumes. It's really adorbs. Also, I have two items on my geekalicious Christmas list for friends and family. Have you seen these furry Chewbacca Croc shoes? They are adorable. I also plan to get someone these weeping angel Christmas lights.

Everyone knows I'm a fan of short films. Watch this sweet little short film titled 'Wire Cutter' about two robots mining a desolate planet. It kinda reminds me a little of 'Wall-E' without the hapless humans wandering around in space.
