*dusts off the conversation thread*

Here's a pic from my latest gaming addiction Rift; a male high elf warrior:

can't find it here, but someone at work showed me a pic of Aidan Turner as one of the dwarves from The Hobbit (Fili I think). And then I found out that Richard Armitage is going to play Thorin Oakenshield.

so - who are we all these days?
Still in lurve with Prof Cox (what can I say, geeky guys do it for me)

and very the rugby world cup is about to finish. Those new(ish) shirts are so yummy

who else though?

Was having a convo with tonight about where are all the tasty looking rock stars, but to be honest outside of Bryan Ferry and Jean-Jacques Burnel I can't remember which ones i used to fancy!

I've re-watching Battlestar Galactica.

Jamie Bamber

There has also been some watching of Stagate SG-1 and Atlantis.

Jason Momoa.... Christopher Judge... Ben Browder...

Mmmmm young Harry Judd from McFly, on Strickly....

haha, Bea, I wondered if he'd pop up!

Jason Mamoa - oh I just totally loved him as Ronon Dex. I'll have to get me some Atlantis DVDs.

Oooh, lots of possibilities in Game of Thrones! Actually I love Peter Dinklater (?) as Tyrion Lannister - could definietly spend a fun evening with him!

that was only available on satellite, wasn't it?

just remembered Rufus Sewell in Zen (and I caught a bit of him in Tristan & Isolde too)

Just finished watching the TV series Camelot, and there's a lot to over there.

Thought I recognised the actress who plays Morgan and yep, she was Sibylla in Kingdom Of Heaven.

Eva Green, lately a Bond Girl and previously the witch Seraphina Pekkula in The Golden Compass

I was going to revive this thread a while back because I fell in love with Dev Patel. Late to the party as usual, I finally got to watch Slumdog Millionaire by buying the DVD when it started to drop in price.

The kid is not only but he is one helluvan actor. And he's not even 20. Well, not when the film was made, anyway. Which means he's younger than all my children.

haven't seen Slumdog yet, but Dev Patel is great

currently letching Leonard from The Big Bang Theory

he's called Johnny Galecki - I just Geeks

I also watched RED today, for the first time I could see the attraction a lot of people have for Bruce Willis. But mostly I was letching Karl Urban

yum!

I watched The Transporter the other day and realised there's nothing finer that Jason Statham with his top off!

Deb

*wibble*
I'm sure it's in his contract that he must have his shirt off for 30% of any film he's in

I just picked up RED, going cheap at the supermarket (and I hadn't even realised it was out on DVD). Am looking forward to doing the ironing this evening with Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren.

we absolutely loved it.

Last night I went to see Lenny Kravitz
who is a Rock God (TM) and totally and cute with it and possibly the coolest guy on the
and anyone who doesn't believe me must look at this

http://www.viprumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/lenny-kravitz-001.jpg

Oh My God - how can anyone not go jelly-kneed at the sight of Lenny Kravitz? And why is that? What is it about him?

BTW did I ever tell you my son and his wife (then fiancée) were walking through Central Park a few years ago (as you do) and came across a film crew shooting a video. Guess whose video it was? None other than Mr Lenny Kravitz.

I wrote in the "film" thread that I absolutely loved "RED" - a great romp. I was grinning all the way through and the music was Bruce Willis was . Not so keen on the Urban guy ("Cute hair"!!!)

The fake Cop who nearly kidnapped Sarah was a dead ringer for Barack Obama.

oh I thought the Urban guy was totally gorgeous because he was, ultimately, doomed to have to join them and he got beaten up so much and so often...

And I agree, TC, what is not to love about Lenny? He has something that you can't put your finger on - totally charismatic. And he seems very genuine although I'm sure he does the same set every time he goes on stage for this tour.

But a sharp reminder of my One True Drool last evening watching the Graham Norton show: The Deppster. Totally totally gorgeous, seemed very very genuine, shy, and absolutely hilarious too (spontaneously, I might add)

Gruesome #2 said: what's so special about him? Even was shocked at that!!

Oh and thanks to Pierce the for reminding me about Mads Mikkelsen.

oh my, I watched Little Ashes which is a film about the early life (around 1930-1936) of Salvador Dali, focussing on his time at university in Madrid and in particular his relationship with Frederico Garcia Lorca. Apart from the fact that it has some totally beautiful scenes (in particurlar a swimming one) with Lorca and Dali (played by Robert Pattinson) I thought the Spanish guy playing Lorca was totally beautiful, and really good because I at the end.

Anyway here he is (Javier Beltrán Andreu)

a still picture, of course, does nothing to convey his totally gorgeous Spanish accent (and of course we'll conveniently ignore the fact that I'm old enough to be his granny)

Sounds like an interesting film.

Having had a Flamenco teacher who not only taught us how to dance but also about the history of Flamenco, I know Lorca and de Falla (Manuel) did a lot to improve the status of Flamenco in Spain.
