MY fangirlishness :)

[Beyond:.:Words]

... in a world filled with Mab fangirls *sigh*

Well, I know there are a few fans on here... so... well... Helena! I don't often get to discuss her since my closest friend only knows her from Harry Potter, and even then she hates Bellatrix since she tortured Neville's parents... -_- But she has seen Merlin, btw.

So, anyway...

I'm in the middle of my 19th Helena movie. =P I didn't have the time to finish Theory of Flight last night, so I will tonight once my sister stops hogging the TV (at eight, when she goes up to bed)

I've seen...
Lady Jane, Twelfth Night, The Wings of the Dove, Merlin (wow), Sweet Revenge, Fight Club, Novocaine, Till Human Voices Wake Us, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Conversations with other Women, Wallace and Gromit, Corpse Bride, Sixty Six, Harry Potter 5, Sweeney Todd, Terminator Salvation, and Harry Potter 6. *wipes forehead* Then The Theory of Flight will be 19.

What is it about her? Lovable characters. Talented. Adorable cockney English accent. Drop-dead gorgeous, even at 43. Hilarious. It's extremely difficult to put her amazingness into words.

Though the only thing I hate is that I discovered her in 2007 from Harry Potter -_- I mean, I had seen all that kid stuff she did, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Wallace and Gromit. Just didn't know it was her until I could put a name to the face. But from her, I found Merlin. From Merlin, I found Miranda Richardson, Sam Neill and Martin Short. So, it's done a lot for me.

I dunno, comment, argue, discuss. Anything to ease my boredom

EDIT: Pwnage! 150 posts Merlin's Apprentice XD

lol well okay my little fangirl, here is my opinion on Helena:

Helena Bonham Carter is part of the very small group of actresses I truly and absolutly respect, simply because I know that she has real talent and isn't just a pretty face. This lady certainly knows what she is doing, and no matter what movie she does, they are always meaningful somehow.

I first noticed her in Fight Club, and seriously guys, she just blew me away with her performance. I really like Helena, because she doesn't shy away from these dark roles and she does them so perfectly. I admired her in Fight Club, but didn't do any research on her. So everytime I saw her in another movie I (and all my friends) would refer to her as "Marla".
Then I watched Charlie and the chocolate factory, and had to smile because Helena plays Charlie's mom so sweetly.
Other than that, I have seen Lady Jane, Corpse Bride, sweeney Todd, Merlin (haha), and Women talking dirty.

Helena can be dark and bright at the same time, so yeah, she rocks!

All I could is she is insane which is why I am falling in love. ;D I already have a Bella wallpaper up. ;D

I want a Miranda & Helena wallpaper. Can't find one

[sleepyqueenie]

I shall look some of those up. -yay you have a Morgan dress! I have a Bellatrix cosplay myself. :-) -
Helena is wonderful. I have a soft spot for Twelfth Night and the Corpse Bride. They are adorable films.

It does scream Merlin. I have no idea how people could confuse this with Bellatrix. Merlin is just not as well-known as we would like it to be.
My cosplay is a lot of fun! It is a bit battered by now. I wore it very often. :-D
The cosplay I would really like to update/ make anew is my Mab one. I would like to make one of her softer looks next - oh no I will have to go pinkish purple! -. Of course I also wish an Ellie one, Puddles or Lady van Tassel... some day. Outside of those I don't really have cosplay ambitions.
