New Sean Bean Article..thx MsG:) + Fabulous Friday + Tom Hanks Recommends CA + The Hobbit $1,110 - Latest Auction Bids



Fantastic fellow he be
Armitage is his name


                                          Bold and beauteous thespian

                                           Unlikely seeker of fame
                                                    Lovely person
                                                      Of great wit
                                                    Unto whose lap
                                          Smiling fans dream they'll sit


For our bean babes courtesy of MsG's thoughtful heads up--a new Sean Bean article

 
Lovely landscapes from Game of Thrones.  The young actress below did adopt her direwolf (dog)


Duchess of Cambridge meets Mrs Obama--which woman is wearing a $340 dress and which one paid  $2000 for hers?
Believe it or not, the dress on right cost $2000...she was robbed..

Jun 3 issue of EW, Tom Hanks, in an article titled 'My Summer Must List', recommends Captain America as one of four movies you should go to see on July 22, 2011.  Can't really get more resoundingly emphatic  than that, can you..*winks* 
Tom explained that he and his wife, Rita, years ago on a terribly rainy day planned out a perfect quartet of films to view in nearby theaters within walking distance of each other.
Truthfully, I'd never make it to the last unless it was one of RA's vehicles--would absolutely need to save his for last in order to see the others.  We're not nearly enough into films to watch 4 in a row within a 24hr period.  Tom and Mrs Hanks have been a film industry power couple for many years.  She's as involved professionaly as her husband.  Easy therefore to understand their mutual love affair with movies.

For the Bean babes amongst us...

Those Smaller Roles Thurs + 4am Wake Up Calls + Wellywood Sign + King of Hearts Wednesday



    Lee of Coldfeet - skirtchaser extraordinaire - these were promotion pix for the show...


Sweet, naive John Standring - he loved her and nothing would change that..


Paul Andrews - a controversial role that keeps viewers wondering did he or didn't he?

    Dr Alec Track of The Golden Hour - he caused more heart palpitations than he ever cured..:)


 Last but never least - Ian of Ultimate Force..No doubt Laura, who visits this blog, would never be as foolish as his love interest of the same name...

4 am Wake-up Call& Ian McKellen celebrated his 72 birthday:

A controversial sign in Wellington, NZ sits atop a hill mimicing the Hollywood sign..it of course says Wellywood.  Someone sent an alternative suggestion to one of the newspapers...

Game of Thrones Hope Alive + Hot Stuff Returns Tues + Garden Gnome Antidote Monday...need to make that image go away:)



Following is filed under 'fervent hope for a dream to come true' upon reading on one of the Game of Thrones sites of author Geo Martin's recent remark "he'd not yet seen Stannis Baratheon tryouts".  Various opinions given, including it could mean HBO is already in negotiations for someone to play the part.  Dreams have come true in the past, this is not the time to stop believing. 
Background for non-readers:
Stannis is the brooding rightful king of Westeros - in his yearning to sit on the Iron Throne of the 7 kingdoms, he falls under the spell of the red priestess..Melisandre.  Casting call for the roles referred to the duo as 'lovers' despite the fact Geo Martin never gave their relationship quite that clear a description.  Readers therefore speculate the HBO screen adaptation will portray a more intense relationship between moody, brooding Stannis and the fiery red temptress, Melisandre...


Oh yes,  off to a good start...memory fading...    Yikes! it's back...won't go away...

Need to find reallly powerful antidote....


The winner of the tropical island tryst poll can work his magic as well..



There....one more to make certain it's gone...

Brought in heavy artillery to keep those gnome mental images at bay....


To counteract Sue's suggestion that RA's recent getup resembled a smurf...erasing that blue image with this one...


This should be the stake in the heart of that gnome..figuratively that is..sort of like a veggie stake..

Believe it says "For Christchurch love, Richard A"
