I just love Tom and I finally got to see Only Lovers Left Alive. It still sucks that it never came to a theater here because I would have loved to see it on a big screen. It was a great movie and Tom was just awesome as Adam. That's one of the things I love about Tom. He becomes whatever character he portrays. I love to see him as Loki, but when I watched Only Lovers Left Alive he became Adam. That's the mark of a great actor. I love actors that when you go and see them in another movie, you forget the other characters they've portrayed because they become the character they are playing in the movie or show you are watching.
There are a lot of actors I love that can do this like Johnny Depp, Leonardo Dicaprio, Nicholas Cage and a whole lot more. I think Jared Padalecki can do this as well. It's too bad that I'll probably never see him playing any other characters but Sam Winchester for the rest of his career as an actor. Part of me wishes that Supernatural would have ended years ago so that I could have seen Jared playing different characters.
I love Jared playing Sam, but when I watch him in something else, he becomes that character and I forget that he is Sam from Supernatural. He's not defined by that character and Tom is the same way. I don't see Loki when I watch him in other movies and that's what I love.
Jensen Ackles on the other hand is totally defined by the character Dean Winchester. It's sad really because I love Jensen, but when I go back to watch Smallville or watch My Bloody Valentine, all I see is Dean and not the character Jensen is portraying. Jensen has never been any other character besides Dean on Supernatural and he never will be. He'll be demon Dean, but that's still Dean and who cares.
Now back to Tom. I can't wait for Crimson Peak to come out, but it looks like it will be a long wait for that movie and an even longer wait to see him in the next Thor movie as Loki. I still want a Loki movie, but I doubt that will ever happen. It would be great, though.
Just looking at this picture of Tom and writing this makes me happy and I love watching Tom as Adam. I laughed so hard at some of those scenes in the movie and I guess it was better I didn't see it at the theater because I would have pissed people off with my laughing. I seem to laugh at some things that other people don't find funny. I guess I'd rather laugh and feel good instead of feeling stressed or serious all the time.
