Carey: "Nope. Not as big as Fassbender's..."
"Oh... so *that's* how you got the role in Bullhead!"
I told you it might be poison ivy. And this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't forgotten the toilet paper. Seriously, how bad is it? Can I see? No? No nookie for how long? This was not how I imagined our honeymoon.
Matthias: From the moment they told me you´ll be my screen couple I knew I´m bound to make you suffer. A lot. I´m sorry.
Carey: Oh, no. Here I go again.
- sobs - birds chirping -
Matthias [whispers]: Can you get me concert tickets to Mumford & Sons?
"Are you going to curse my chance at getting a second Oscar nomination like you did to Marion?"
Matthias: See? I'm a grower not a shower.
'If you say the magic words and click your heels together three times, you'll be transported right to Marion and Michael. "There's no play like Mackers...There's no play like Mackers...There's no play like Mackers..."'
I LOLed at Ryan's haha
My typical bitter dead horse:
Carey: When the costume designer handed me this outfit, I almost started crying for the Fish Tank girl, but then I realized "Wait a tick! This makes me a more diverse actress! Yipee!"
Matthias: Can you look down? Yeeeeeeeeeeeah, just...like...that.
I'm no good at these caption things, but mine would almost certainly be about them both being too beautiful to look each other directly in the eyes.
-Carey: Oh boy, you really need a shower
-Mathias: Get use to it. I'm a shepherd
Matthias: That jacket better be faux leather.
Carey: Ummm...
Matthias: "They call me MISTER Oak!"
Matthias (seductively): "Bathe, Sheba"
Carey: "Uhmmm...actually, it's Bathsheba. Bath-shuh-buh. "
Matthias: Your Katniss Everdeen Halloween costume is stunning...
Not a caption, but a comment. The fact that someone referenced Katniss Everdeen suggests that the film team is doing its best to ensure that viewers draw the connections between her and Bathsheba. That connection is made explicit by the author of The Hunger Games in this excerpt from an interview with EW.
Entertainment Weekly: Which classic have you never read—but pretended you did?
Suzanne Collins: I sort of half read Thomas Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge. It was assigned in 10th grade, and I just couldn’t get into it. About seven years later I rediscovered Hardy, and consumed four of his novels in a row. Katniss Everdeen owes her last name to Bathsheba Everdene, the lead character in Far From the Madding Crowd. The two are very different, but both struggle with knowing their hearts.
I'm a fan of the underrated Julie Christie version. So I'm skeptical of this redux.
Matthias: I know her getting a second nomination before you... well, it feels like a blindside.
"None of us will ever be as hot as Alan Bates"
Carey Mulligan: "I lost the Oscar."
Matthias: "I wasn't even nominated."
