Countdown to Fargo (finale) | The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
#The Hobbit#An Unexpected Journey#Bilbo Baggins#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#my gifs#my edits#cdtf#I figured now making it a countdown to the finale was a pretty good idea#better late then never though eh?#and ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh#don't get me started on this fucking Hobbit#part of the reason why I love Bilbo is yes Martin Freeman is playing him#but man#I was obsessed with the cartoon when I was a kid#I wore the VHS tape out#it was one of my favorite things ever even though Gollum and the goblins scared the fucking shit outta' me#and then Ian Holm was so endearing and so perfect in LotR#and of course Martin is just continuing that with his portrayal#this fucking Hobbit#ruining my life since I was 5-years old
Countdown to Fargo | Animals (2012)
#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#Animals#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#yes I'm still calling this 'Countdown to Fargo' even though it's started airing#'cause it's just easier#I liked this movie#I think I would've liked it more back when I was in college#but I did like it#it's sort of like Calvin and Hobbes' twisted older brother#who was obsessed with Donnie Darko back in the day#I also think it's fascinating to see what color palette films have#it's easier to tell once you do some coloring on 'em#this film is very very green#these gifs are me degreening the green#so you can only imagine how fucking green they were to start
Countdown to Fargo | What's Your Number? (2011)
#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#What's Your Number?#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#rule number 1 when gifing#save every fucking psd every step of the way#I forgot like an ass and Photoshop crashed#so I basically made this fucking set twice#hoooraaaaaay#and another meh-at-best rom-com in Martin's catalogue#but he IS just in the one sequence so#unless you love these kinds of movies or the other actors (or wanna' see Chris Evans practically naked for half the film) I'd skip it#and just watch his bit#but can we talk about that fucking tie?#I'm in love with that fucking tie#and that fucking cardigan#I swear to God he just shows up in his own fucking clothes for his more recent projects
Countdown to Fargo | The Girl is Mime (2010)
#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#The Girl is Mime#short film#cdtf#I love this short so fucking much#again#anyone who says he's not talented#...he can fucking MIME#well#he can play a mime very successfully#my gifs#my edits#such a quirky and surprisingly dark short#I love it I love it I love it I love it#and this was written shot and edited in 48 hours#part of the 48-Hour Film Project#very smart of them to do a silent film about a mime#no lines to memorize#and no need to record sound on the set
Countdown to Fargo | Sherlock (2010 - )
#Sherlock#BBC Sherlock#John Watson#Martin Freeman#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#GOD it was so difficult to choose 12 things#but I just really wanted to show as many sides to John as possible#badass John flirty John happy John sad John angry John#scared John noble John#PTSD John#this fucking show man#I'll never forget hearing about it and praying that this Watson wasn't going to be bumbling#and all 'Sherlock what is that? What's going on? I'm an idiot' because he isn't that in the books but he is in a few adaptations#and then not only was he the opposite#Martin made him so three-dimensional#and so layered and so just... fantastic#well-deserved BAFTA#1k#just stick tag#please
Countdown to Fargo | Wild Target (2010)
#Martin Freeman#Wild Target#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#this is one of my favorite movies ever let alone a Martin movie#because it's really NOT a Martin movie#I remember seeing it some time shortly after the first series of Sherlock aired#having NO idea he was even in the movie just excited because Emily Blunt and Bill Nighy#I was TERRIFIED for a split second that he'd gone 'Hollywood' before I realized that the teeth and tan were fake#and then I was just blown away by his performance#I'd never seen him do anything like that#yeah this movie is a big part of why I am the way I am about him#I saw it at just the right time for it to combine with how different John was and Tim was#so yeah perfect storm#of acting range on Martin's part#1k#let's see if that sticks
Countdown to Fargo | Nativity! (2009)
#Martin Freeman#Nativity!#freemanedit#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#another Debbie Isitt film#so that means all the dialogue is improvised#including the kids#pretty amazing when you think about it#his character is such a Grinch in this#he even has a dog#and by the end his heart grows three sizes#this has become a Christmas staple in my house for the past few years#and I fucking love it#my whole family watches it together and cries and laughs#it's such a fucking sweet movie#1k
Countdown to Fargo | Micro Men (2009)
#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#Micro Men#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#this was an interesting film#I had no idea any of this went on in Britain in the 70s and 80s#and we get Martin with a slightly poshed-up accent#and brown hair AND eyebrows#I don't remember his eyebrows being so dark last time he was a brunette so it stands out a bit#get ready for these to start appearing your dash pretty quickly tonight#seeing as Fargo is tomorrow#and I've got several roles to go#don't wanna' see 'em or getting sick of 'em? just blacklist 'cdtf'
Countdown to Fargo | boy meets girl (2009)
#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#boy meets girl#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#this show is pretty decent#it had so much potential#and was just#yeah#okay#the acting was great it was the story that was lacking a bit for me#but!#Martin with a Northern accent just#I#can't#handle#it#also#from an acting standpoint this show is sort of fascinating#to prepare for playing each other essentially Martin and Rachael Stirling did a few exercises and things#they said they spent a day or so just studying each other like apes#they were just in a room walking around and doing various things and had to watch the way the other person behaved#and they filmed bits of scenes where Martin was Danny and Rachael was Veronica#so that they could use that as a basis for their performances when they then had to the scenes playing the opposite parts#and yeah this show just had the potential to touch on gender sexuality and mental health issues#and they just barely skimmed the surface#oh well
Countdown to Fargo | The Old Curiosity Shop (2007)
#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#The Old Curiosity Shop#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#I love what a fucking sleazy grimy little scumbag he plays in this#classic Dickens type of characters as well#and he and Steve Pemberton make the perfect duo as well#and I still find him attractive in this??#even with the brown teeth#because unf scruff and mutton chops
Countdown to Fargo | Nightwatching (2007)
#Martin Freeman#freemanedit#Nightwatching#cdtf#my gifs#my edits#this fucking movie#this fucking performance#ugh ugh ugh#if anyone ever has any doubts about this man's talent#just watch this fucking movie#nsfw#very very nsfw film though by the middle-end#also just from a personal standpoint ugh this film is so fantastic#one of my favorite artists being played by one of my favorite actors#and the film is shot so that every single scene looks like it could've been a Rembrandt painting#and it feels more like a play than a film as well#most scenes are one shot and it's a ten minute scene so it's a one-take deal#and you've got older actors playing children#and the shots are either EXTREMELY wide or EXTREMELY close#very few between#I just#I know it's a bit dry and not everyone's thing#but I adore this movie with every fibre of my being#and thank you SO much#narniantimelady#iwantbenedictcumberbatch#huffellepuff#my ham and cheese sandwich sister
