Is it a case of severe crinkles?..no need to be concerned--it's not contagious;)He's so shy.... The askmen.com website states in the following article that picking up girls isn't a science because we're "harder to figure out than the Riemann hypothesis." :) It's a humorous article - worth a read: Every single poll of women says the same thing: The number one thing they look for in a man

If you like me are not concerned about spoilers(it's only fiction) here are reviews of Spooks ep 2 & Strike Back ep 6.  Sounds as though someone bites the dust at the end of Spooks ep 2.  Not surprising when you consider writers have only 4 more eps to go to snuff out as many characters as possible before the final curtain.  The reviewer at Unpopcult finally begrudgingly found one of the SB

RA has said in interviews that among his ancestors can be counted weavers and miners.  He and I share the latter's presence in our family tree.  In the 1870 census when my newly emigrated ancestors were asked from whence they came, they replied to the census taker 'England.'  At that time British coal miners were the most experienced in the world.  Upon their arrival in Pennsylvania, they

The following mental images flashed by while watching Kruger on-screen. Those who have seen Captain America should get the inferences...those who have not should have nothing spoiled... IMHO, RA did with the Heinz Kruger role exactly what was called for - He dripped with the anal retentive single-mindedness you would expect from someone who was determined to help evil incarnate conquer the world

EXCERPTS from The Scotsman interview: Quote from RA: "Sometimes you know your villain is doing really terrible deeds but you want him to succeed because he's doing it with such finesse," he says. "You want to see him get his comeuppance but you also want to see him pull it off. It's a real paradox. Perhaps we like it because we're not allowed to be bad in real life." ..In "real life",

They analyze scenes and characters in-depth, including Heinz Kruger but usually don't mention actors names.  The language gives you an idea just how excited they are about seeing their comicbook heroes come to life.  At one point the commentator says "even if you've never '
