The ORF Interview with Christoph Waltz →

fuckyeahchristophwaltz:

christophwaltz-italia:

It’s in German, starts at 9:10
My German is lame….plus, I am distracted, I don’t know why….but I get the general meaning. And a few complete sentences.
Still, you know, he is…….distracting….

Gifstophs.

I demand gifstophs.

Specifically of him faffing around with his glasses.

i am just happy because he said my current favorite German word, zufrieden (it means satisfied/content).  i also thought i heard him say something which translates to “salad mentality,” which i’m sure is wrong, but i’m going to pretend is what he really said.

‘Behind The Candelabra’ Premieres in Cannes

High Quality!

Heaven is a place on earth.  It is called Cannes.  It is a fluffy cloud of salt and pepper silver fox hair and sparkling green eyes.

In searching for an example of Deco/Jugendstil in Dresden, I didn’t find any right off, but it did find this INCREDIBLE example of Art Nouveau. And how could I not share THIS?!

Fuck Yeah Christoph Waltz on Twitter... →

fuckyeahchristophwaltz:

So, I’ve linked up a twitter account to the FYCW tumblr.

The Tumblr app is ok for keeping track of stuff when you’re out and about, but I’m aware that there are a few people who read this blog and who DON’T use Tumblr at all…so, maybe you can keep track of updates via Twitter instead, idk :)
