Latest Twitter Update by 'The Hunkies' website [RA's current total vote is 373)

Photo of a Game of Thrones filming location.  It's a quarry outside Belfast where 'Castle Black' is being constructed.  No doubt it was chosen because the steep cliff wall can magically (with a li'l help from modern technology) be transformed into the 700ft high wall of ice protecting Westeros from the dangerous creatures & wilderness beyond.  (perhaps the wall of ice is Geo Martin's fantasy version of Hadrian's Wall--the historical basis for his epic tale is the War of the Roses)
A video game developer's magical transformation of the 700ft wall of ice plus one of the cities in Westeros...

Blimey he must have had testosterone sprinkled on his cornflakes that morning!Well good!

It looks like a trailer, doesn't it?...but I don't remember seeing it at the Sky website. Wonder why it was scrapped? Maybe considered too violent? There were many scenes worse than that. The one that jumps to mind was blood bursting out the back of someone's head in ep 3or4. Looked like a moment from one of Clint Eastwood's especially bloody films.

Clint has recently voiced regret for his most egregiously violent films. The female boxer was my least fav Eastwood film...yuk!yuk! it's more than gruesome to see men boxing, but watching women engaged in the brutal sport is definitely gratuitous violence.

Richard looks as though he was enjoying one of those 'out of control' moments he says he relishes the most.

Just saw Esquire Magazine has nominated their picks for the new James Bond, and RA is not among them. But they have opened it to suggestions on Facebook and Twitter. http://www.esquire.com/the-side/feature/next-james-bond-actor

Ricrar said...

Thanks Musa - great find. Something tells me there will be quite a few suggestions for RA as James Bond. We'll call him 00Sexy.

Ricrar said...

Nomination is in at Twitter...they should see it first thing in the morning. They've no idea what's about to hit them tomorrow.
00Sexy...has a ring to it:)

Found that Strike Back clip unnervingly sexy.

Added my vote for RA as Bond on the Esquire/Cinematical page.

Whoever thought about trowing him a cube of water (=tight t-shirt), I thank him/her ;)

To add, you vote for James Bond you just need to nominee him on Twitter or FB, right?

OML :)

OML, I've just sent another nomination of RA as Bond along with his photo at the Bafta's - when he looked most 007ish.

Musa said her vote was at the mag website, but it wasn't readily noticeable for me - perhaps registration is necessary??

Whenever I look at that stirring Porter vid, can't help but remember Richard's words that his most enjoyable moments are those when he's out of control. *isn't it suddenly very warm:)*

That last message is from me, Ricrar:)

Trying to confuse the blogger software into giving me a vote in polls...wish me luck.

Hi, I was wondering if you would please be kind enough to remove this tweet for me? Its a matter of losing my job and if you could do it with all haste I would be most grateful,
thank you,
Nilhenwen

Ricrar said...

Nilhenwen,

Just read your request and removed the tweet. It was posted on Twitter of course...assume you've already removed that one, right?

Are you in Belfast?
