NEWS:Interesting latest details about Richard III reinterment - thank you Sue, who said:

(Do you think he might have had more peace under that car park?)

Apparently Richard III would have wanted a Catholic burial according to academia!

Latest HBO trailer brings "nobody does it better" to mind.  Sadly that's not true of the vast majority of their shows, but definitely captures their Game of Thrones:

Some interest in dance is usually a natural byproduct for RA fans. Pro dancer Kym Johnson definitely took advantage of the 6'2" athletic build of her dance partner for week 1 of DWTS. A judge mentioned that her feet were in the air more than on the dancefloor for their "contemporary" style offering. Never noticed her partner before but I can certainly see why he was on a popular soap for 13yrs.

Sharing the latest clever comments from Sue and Cleo:

Sue said...

RiCrAr,
I'm sure Dawn would have preferred a good snog with Richard as opposed to the ginger guy. (Who wouldn't!)
I fear it is because of filming that darn movie!!!! March 15, 2013

 cleopatraascreenplay said...

RA's ideal 007? I say a combination of Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, John Porter, and Lucas North! The elegant sophisticate of Brosnan, rough and tumble of Dalton, and the straight-forward spy-solider of JP and Lucas, perhaps with just a touch of indignant Sir Guy? It would certainly work for me!!! :) :)March 15, 2013

Dallas star Josh Henderson is obviously multi-talented. Do you agree he could be  a clone of The Tudors series Henry--Jon Rhys Meyers?

High School Game of Thrones:

 I'm not nearly cool enough to get more than 50% of following - feel proud to even get that much;)  Will need to check with my niece to translate the other half:

Anyone who has enjoyed US tv series '24' or UK's 'Spooks' will luvvvv the movie 'Breach'.  It traces the worst intelligence *breach* in the history of the USA(tragically true story).  An FBI mole is trapped but not without some instinctive, intricate handling on the part of a young FBI *clerk* and the enormous tangled web required to finally entrap a super spy engrossed in living the ultimate RL video game.  Why did he do it?  Not for wealth - this darkly super-evolved human being simply needed to feel *_*(can't give it away or you won't enjoy it nearly as much)  'Breach' is a Fascinating film:

Richard's fan Maraiad's version of the dinner party he proposed:

RA was asked which 3 figures he'd like to enjoy dinner with - he mentioned Richard III, Pres John Kennedy and Ian McKellan

Just discovered Mariaid is also a fanvid creator. After the long wait we endured for tweet replies today, I'd say he owes us this one;D

NEWS

When historic-legend thespians collide, is it merely coincidence, blog's magnetic ethernet pull or fact there is only one pond between NYC & London??;D (thanks to dear Musa/Fabo for the lovely news)

A Rollo(Clive Standen) tweet reveals he and Gisborne(RA) were pleasantly surprised to bump into each other on recent trans-Atlantic flight:

@CliveStanden

Great to bump into my old pal Richard Armitage on flight back from NYC...He hasn't changed a bit...A gentleman.

RA Scheduled to Appear on Brit Talk Show on Thurs(Thx Musa;) + Game of Thrones Season 3 Countdown: Starts 4 Wks from Sun

Another clever fan creation..

Clever RA fan on twitter apparently felt Thorin needs something soft & cuddly..

      Vol II: A Clash of Kings(Geo Martin's  A Song of Ice and Fire)

..for the first time, Jorah tells Daenerys of his ill-fated marriage to Lynesse Hightower. He mentions that Daenerys resembled his dead wife, and Dany realizes for the first time that Jorah loves her romantically. She doesn't speak of her realization nevertheless, she increasingly begins to worry that Jorah sees her primarily as either the child she once was or as a potential romantic partner, rather than truly respecting her as a queen.

Falling more and more in love with Daenerys, Jorah eventually stops sending reports,^[7]sending the final one from Qarth...

Vol III:  A Storm of Swords

Jorah finally makes his move, kissing Daenerys when they are alone. He confesses his love and repeatedly suggests they marry, but she always refuses. Although Dany still treasures Jorah's friendship and advice, his advances begin to make her uncomfortable.
