What’s better than Shark Week?

Well, nothing! Shark Week is totes the best.

But coming in at a distant second is my theme-y idea for a cluster of blog action you’ll be seeing right here at good ole Happy Hippie Rose: Screen Week.

the shoddiest most pathetic graphic ever, right? if you knew how long it took me to make this, you'd die.

Lately I’ve had oodles of post ideas that all relate to TV and film in some way or another (because y’all know it would be so far fetched for me to start a post somewhere and tangent off and off). I watch way too much TV, I love movies, and with all this awesome passion comes tons of opinions and thoughts.

So being that tonight was Oscar Sunday, I figured I could launch a short series of posts all relating to the screen-based entertainment I so enjoy.

Funnily enough, we didn’t even watch the full Oscars broadcast. I’m kinda hit and miss with awards shows. They sometimes bore me and so I avoid them – every now and then, I’ll get really into it though. I do so love a red carpet rundown… so here are some of my fav looks from today:

: the shoddiest most pathetic graphic ever, right? if you knew how long it took me to make this, you’d die.

: penelope cruz… also tied for first. she dropped jaws in this armani prive periwinkle gown. i just love her so much, and i love this whole look.

: viola davis, my FAVORITE look of the night in the amazing green vera wang, i also love her natural hair. (i think, she’s at least tied for first in my book!)

: princess charlene with prince albert ii of monaco. this look grew on me the more i saw it, i just love the top so much.

: jane seymour, sparkling in a super flattering and pretty red on red gown.

: missi pyle, possibly my overall favorite from the red carpet. sea foam retro dream.

: jean dujardin with alexandra lamy, alexandra’s dress is so plunging and sexy.

: natalie portman looking gorgeous and per usual. and i love that she rocked out polka dots at the oscars.

: jessica chatain. this alexander mcqueen frock with epic gilden embroidery has stolen my heart.

: angie, killin it.

: kate mara’s jack guisso couture gown has had some criticism for being busy, but personally i think it’s devine.

: chris miller with wife laura gorenstein miller. this over-the-top number makes me happy.

: esperanza spalding is drop dead gorgeous. love that steely color. i also love the afro, LOVE!

: cami diaz gets a nod from me, i like it.

: michelle williams in louis vuitton – i’m loving this super structured backless dresses. oh and the ruffles!

: milla jovovich is pure romance in this beaded head-turner by elie saab. she looked flawless.

: maria menounos in one of these backless ditties that i’m all about! and the color is stunning.

: sarah hyland wearing alberta ferretti. i love her, and she looks more sophisticated than i’ve ever seen her, epic choice!

I got way into looking up all those red carpet pics. I’m sure that I missed some great looks and trust me, there were some I found less than aesthetically pleasing as well – but I don’t really feel like being mean up in here.

Who did you love? What was your fav dress?

Actual Movie Talk:

I STILL haven’t seen The Artist. I’ve been dying to see it ever since the first trailer I saw, and now I just have to watch it first chance I get. I also want to see The Descendants. After living here, Hawaii movies are so rad to me.

Others I haven’t yet seen: The Help, Bridesmaids, My Week With Marilyn, Hugo, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, War Horse.

Pretty bad, huh? I’ve been a movie slacker this year, that’s for sure. But when movies are so pricey and you live in Hawaii… you find better uses of time spent out of the house! I’m more of a renter than a go-seer. There are tons more that I want to see, but haven’t yet, those were just some big Oscar-nommed names that come readily to mind tonight.

I loved Midnight In Paris, it was so amazeballs. A Better Life knocked my socks off too. We just watched The Ides of March last weekend and we both were impressed, it was way better than we thought it was going to be! Margin Call went the opposite direction, we both found it to be a big ole stinker.

So yeah, welcome to HHR’s first ever Screen Week!

This week I’ll binge and purge on all my show-related topics and tangents. I’ll fill y’all in on what I’ve been watching, random stuff that I think about in relation to the stuff I watch and so on.

As always, thanks for reading! xoxo, hhr
