Interesting review, among many, of last night's fantastic Game of Thrones S2, ep 9 - Even though the amount of blood was beyond my comfort zone - this time learned to live with it - as it's difficult to take siege of a city without some bloodshed:
Butterflies are Free..(and the prettiest insect on the planet)
This photo of hubby's was my inspiration for the above RA collage. Yesterday while walking away from the parking lot, in order to hike around our fav lake, we spotted this group of beautiful swallowtail butterflies at the edge of the tarmac. They're huge. At first we were concerned they were in distress, because we walked close enough to touch them yet they remained in the same spot. Upon returning from the hike, we checked to see if they were still there. As we approached the flock? hive? bevy? swarm?:) group, they suddenly fluttered into the air in unison. Naturally we were very relieved to see that these natural works of art were in fine flying order. Perhaps they were napping the first time we approached:)
Following is Jonia's newly discovered Spooks 9 photo..I prefer the original pic below, which includes Iain Glen playing Vaughn, because he has recently become my fav Game of Thrones2 character. As Daney's valiant protector - Ser Jorah - he's nudged Tyrion off that GoT pedestal. The husky-voiced, rugged(in a good way) Scottish laird attitude might have a great deal to do with it:) along w/the fact he's another superb actor..
Which character should play Christopher gRAy in 51 Shades?(see poll)
Should Guy of Gisborne play Chris gRAy? Afterall, he and Marian tortured each other for 26 excrutiatingly delicious episodes of RH:)
Quote from eyewitness in article below:
Legolas and Tauriel in an action sequence and a tense threat to Thorin!
"I witnessed the whole Company of Dwarves struggling through Mirkwood forest, greenscreen everywhere, and most obviously they were covered with spiderwebs and goo. Their run through the forest is abruptly cut short with an arrow in Thorin’s face.It is rather reminiscent of the bit in FELLOWSHIP where Haldir and his team bring weapons to bear against Frodo. ... Orlando Bloom makesa triumphant return to the role of Legolas spitting out avenomous threat to Thorin: “I won’t hesitate to kill you, Dwarf.” I’ve never heard Legolas sound quite so pissed off. It’s really, really cool."
[R: My instant reaction to "cut short w/an arrow in Thorin's face" was "NO! Not the face!YIKES!"
Excerpt from latest edition of Entertainment Weekly Article entitled “News and Notes”
BLOCKBUSTER With BUZZ: Thanks to CinemaCon, Hollywood is hyped for The Hobbit..
“Peter Jackson’s Vision for the Hobbit is Clear, REALLY Clear…
Almost everyone throughout Peter Jackson’s Hobbit looked great. But maybe it looked too great? As happy as exhibitors were with the storytelling on display in Jackson’s two-movie return to J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world, there were loud grumbles about his decision to shoot it with new technology that uses 48 images, or “frames,” to create every second of footage, instead of the traditional 24. The result was an ultra-clear image that the oscar-winning filmmaker hopes will make 3-D less bothersome to the eye…Both films will also be released in the traditional format, but some big theater chains agreed to give his 48-frame experiment a shot. “We’re happy with the visual aspects of 48 frames per second,” says Amy Miles, CEO of Regal Entertainment Group, which plans to upgrade between 2,500 and 2,700 of it’s 3-D projectors for THE HOBBIT. “There are some guys in our industry where you just say, over time, they’ll figure this stuff out. It doesn’t hurt that it’s somebody like Peter Jackson.”
[R: We know for a fact that PJ has superlative taste when it comes to making exactly the right choices for his films, don’t we? ;D]
