Can't decide whether Captain America(my fav American actor:Chris Evans) has been demoted or promoted with following ad. I have determined, however, that a Richard Armitage version could make it look like child's play;)
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]
Question #10: A lot of us are Richard Armitage fans. What was he like to work with?
QUOTE: Mick Milligan: Richard is a gentleman. He did well in doing a lot of the fight sequences himself for the sake of character authenticity. For the duration of the shoot he lived John Porter. I think he even surprised himself. Easily one of my favourite actors. He's one of us.
It was Classical Night on Dancin' w/the Stars -- Wm Levy's Viennese waltz was danced to one of the hymns sung during our wedding ceremony - Ave Maria - might've become a li'l teary eyed:) Watch at end to see his 2 children and their mother in the audience. Cuban-born William came to the USA a few yrs ago, when his stepfather requested and received political asylum from Castro's oppressive government.
If you've been an RA fan long enough to remember a temporary connection to the movie 'Charlie', appears it might be making progress. Newly designed website:
Did you realize that you can delete books from your kindle and redownload at some future date? Apparently amazon keeps a record of your downloaded books and all you need do is request it again from them:
My first choice would be 'Gilded Lilys' costume drama set in 1895 NYC

Pour some sugar on Porter - that's almost what it seems Mabelalexa does to his photos :) See her tumblr..
Now for a dram of soothing John Porter in action...hehehe...actually for me, it does have a calming effect to know there are authentic special forces (and other members of the military--not all male), who are as determined as John Porter to neutralize those in this world who would harm innocence - in the name of their insane cause..
If a miracle occurred and you find yourself in conversation with a certain actor, here are a few details you'll need to learn in order to impress him with your knowledge of the cutting-edge process used to project THE HOBBIT: An Unexpected Journey..
Up to 10 minutes of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be screened in 3D at 48 frames per second during a Warner Bros. slate presentation Tuesday at CinemaCon.
The Hobbit will be one of many films that will be previewed at the theater owners confab, where for the first time in at least a decade, all of the major studios will present preview clips of their upcoming slate.
Millions of fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the prequel to Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which grossed an estimated $2.9 billion worldwide.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will also become the first major motion picture to be made at the high frame rate (HFR) of 48 fps.
Frame rates are the number of images displayed by a projector within one second. 24 frames per second (fps) has long been the standard in cinema, but Jackson,James Cameron and Douglas Trumbull are among the filmmakers who are urging the industry to consider higher frame rates — what they believe will greatly reduce or eliminate motion artifacts.
Some HFR-related announcements are expected at CinemaCon, as digital cinema equipment manufacturers are working to be able to support whatever the demand might be from exhibitors and studios. ..... Sony expects the majority of its 13,000 installed 4K digital cinema projectors to support high frame rates by the time The Hobbit is released Dec. 14.
While many have an eye on The Hobbit’s December release date for the update, there is some speculation that a 48fps trailer might be released as early as July (though The Hobbit will also be available in 24 fps).
At CinemaCon, which opens Monday at Caesars Palace, The Hobbit clip is scheduled to be shown using a Christie projector with the RealD 3D system.
Don't know how I missed this wonderful fanvid by Angie -- it's one of my all time fav songs paired with one of two men it brings to mind everytime I hear it...
