Jeanette MacDonald Explains Why She’s Quite An Eligible Bachelorette In The Love Parade (1929).

I just had to have a Downton Abbey post. I can’t stop thinking about this show, so this is no doubt my new obsession. I think I’ve fallen in love with each character and I honestly cannot wait ‘til the next season.

My favorite characters:

Lady Sybil: Other than her being so kind and generous, I have lots in common with her. She can’t stand still. She always needs to get up and do something for the better, helping others and ensuring their happiness. I also love her voice :) It’s like a unique kind of raspy.

Lady Mary: I honestly think she’s the smartest and wisest out of the Crawley sisters. I like her voice too haha. It’s really bold. And I like the fact that she wants what’s best for her family, even if it puts her in a position where she doesn’t really love the man she is engaged to marry.

Matthew Crawley: Maybe because he’s cute. Haha but he’s more than that. He’s wise as well, and he loves Mary! <3

When news of The Hobbit being turned into a firm first broke out, I was quite the giddy camper. After all, it was 11 years ago when I first discovered Lord of the Rings and its epic goodness and I was quite excited for this movie. And with Peter Jackson back at the helm in directing the prequel of the trilogy that made me fall in love with the series, you bet that I was very much looking forward to this movie. So much to the point that I just wanted my last final to be over and for midnight to strike so I could watch. via Reelwire
