Celebrity Crushes

[Nossa]

Sounds good to me :D
First we need to begin operation makejamesmcavoysplitwithhiswife (he doesn't have kids just yet, so we needn't feel too bad.)

Sounds like a plan *evil laugh*
When do you wanna start ruining the man's marriage :lol:

[LadyW]

Well, let's begin by writing "Clean me! From your wife" on his dusty car...
That's really evil... perhaps too harsh?
:lol:
It could rock their marriage though.

Yup, that would def. do some damage. But not too harsh to cause them to split.
How about we start by talking to her? She seems like a nice person, maybe she won't have a problem with two extra people joining the family :lol:

[LadyW]

Hmmm... agreed.
If she declines?
Chloroform my good friend; she'll wake up on a cargo ship heading towards Russia, poor thing.

Note: Im not crazy :rolleyes:

I like the sound of that. She won't even know where she is when she gets there, he'll think she ran away, and we will be right there to comfort him. That's brillian :lol:

[LadyW]

What can I say? Full of new ideas ;)
That's why people like me shouldn't be left alone for too long; my mind conjures up evil plans.
First James McAvoy...then the world :D

[kilted exile]

Again a large over-abundance of pictures of guys (made even worse by the obvious oversight that none of the pics are of me)

So I shall rectify this by adding some more wonderful creatures:

Lelee Sobieski

Julia Stiles

[InspireMe]

EDWARD NORTON
JAKE GYLLENHAAL
HEATH LEDGER

[browneyedbailey]

Ooh! Ooh!
David Tennant
Robert Pattinson
Orlando Bloom
James Franco

[RobinHood3000]

I can't remember if I've mentioned my man-crushes here before...

Nathan Fillion
Justin Hartley
Les Stroud
Kevin Smith

All very down-to-earth and all very-cool.

[kratsayra]

Kilted - you may be amused to know that I went to college with Julia Stiles and lived on the same floor as her in the freshman dorms. It's my only claim to fame. ;)

I like the picture you used of her! And I don't know who that other woman is that you posted, but she is gorgeous. Yeah, I'm a girl, but I love admiring beautiful women anyway.

Anyway, my current celebrity crush is Joel McHale from The Soup. He's so cute and so funny!

[Domer121]

has anyone mentioned Colin Firth yet? hey girls, let's party, Colin Firth is the only actor where I agree with main stream taste when it comes to celebrity crushes.http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/love/love0032.gif (http://www.email-blacklist.com)

JAMES STEWART. He is probably one of my favorite actors of all time and I found him in The Shop Around the Corner and continued to have loved him since. He is probably my all time "celebrity" crush.

Gaspard Ulliel.
He's French.
I love him.

[wessexgirl]

Sounds good to me :D
First we need to begin operation makejamesmcavoysplitwithhiswife (he doesn't have kids just yet, so we needn't feel too bad.)

I think he does Lady W. I'm sure his wife, (or partner) had a baby last year. Isn't he with Ann-Marie Duff, a former girlfriend of David "Dr Who" Tennant? Not that I take much notice of Celeb World...:blush:

I just need to echo the vote for Colin Firth



http://beanstockd.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/firth.jpg

but only as Darcy. He looks so different in other roles.

What about a bit of this too

You and one of my best friends would have a lot to talk about on that matter! :p

I'm distraught now, Gaspard Ulliel will have to comfort me in the meantime...

:lol: Sorry Lady W. I may be wrong though. I can't see anything about a child now on the web, but I'm sure I saw her on tv last year when she was pregnant. Perhaps I imagined it :D Carry on dreaming, I do about my crushes, after all, that's the point, we're never going to meet them!

By the way, who's Gaspard Ulliel?

Niamh, does your friend know there's a new Sharpe out soon? Yummy!

[LadyW]

By the way, who's Gaspard Ulliel?
All I know is he's French, and he's an actor. He's a French actor. :redface:

I posted him not long ago, but lets have another one ay? :D

[kratsayra]

I can't help myself - I had to resurrect this thread. I currently have a crush on (in descending age order):

Keith Olbermann:

my crush this year : EDWARD NORTON sooo cute :)

[TheFifthElement]

my crush this year : EDWARD NORTON sooo cute :)

I second that! Yum.

[LadyWentworth]

my crush this year : EDWARD NORTON sooo cute :)


I second that! Yum.
I second your thoughts! :)

[Janine]

I second your thoughts! :)

It is rather odd but everyone loves Edward Norton, but I don't. He absolutely does nothing for me and I really don't exactly know why. He is good looking, but I guess I don't really like the way he speaks or something. I just feel I don't have any chemistry with him. haha. like that would make a difference here? I know he is a fine actor, but he does not turn me on one bit...strange.

Now I have been nuts over Ewan McGregor for a long time, but he is happily married ;) and I adore Kenneth Branagh, even if he is getting quite middle-aged looking; he is also happily remarried ....geez, all the good ones are taken. I still find Branagh a sweetheart, funny and sooo smart. I own a number of each of their films, good and bad ones. I like them all because they are in them. :lol: Ewan is adorable in "The Polar Bears of Churchill" - a documentary set in Canada. I have a copy on a VHS tape; too expensive to buy it on DVD. Branagh is to die for in "Dead Again" and "The Proposition"...wish I could get that last film on DVD.

I feel the same way, and it must be the way he talks. He's a fabulous actor and I can watch his movies (such as Down in the Valley, American History X, The Score, Primal Fear and of course, Fight Club) and be amazed by his talent and yet still totally unattracted to him. He's probably one of those secretly attractive people - like you'd never guess until you're taken by surprise. Those are always the hardest to get over, I would guess.

Have you seen The Painted Veil? I think that's the one that did it for me...no, actually it was Red Dragon (years ago!). Hmm. I know what you mean. Actually I don't think he's particularly good looking, but there's this underlying intensity which I find really attractive. I love his voice! So yes, I think you're right about the secretly attractive. That's the way I see it anyway.

[LadyWentworth]

Branagh is to die for in "Dead Again" and "The Proposition"...wish I could get that last film on DVD.
Isn't he, though??? I was thinking about "The Proposition" the other day. It was on TV so much last year/early this year, but now it isn't at all. :( It would be nice to see that one again just watch him (and drool :p). Of course, the film isn't bad to watch either. ;)

That is a very good way to put it. There are a lot of guys that I feel this way about. It is one of those cases where he may not be a god, looks wise, but there is just something about him. In the case of Norton, he is actually an odd one for me to find attractive because he is a little too skinny for my tastes, but I still can't resist him. :D

[LadyW]

Forget everything else I've ever said.
I am in love, with this man:

LadyWentworth, Yes, yes, yes! I can't get enough of him as Father Michael. I wish I had a better print of the film. Since I got my new TV and new DVD/VHS combo upconverting player, my old tape looks like mud on it. I was so disappointed. I have tried fiddling with settings but it just won't come out right. I want to see it again and now put up with the dark murky picture. I need it on DVD, but I just can't find it at a reasonable price. I could buy it from the Amazon UK site perhaps, in Region 2 format, since I do own a Region 2 player. I happen to love this film. I know a few things aren't exactly realistic but I love the ending and I love the love scenes, very tastefully done. How can Branagh exude such sex appeal mearly kissing a hand? I just crumble at that scene in the old mill. You can view that scene on Youtube...at least, last time I looked it was there.



and my other major crush has been festering for years and years, Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd in all his greasy rock god splendor.
http://mysite.orange.co.uk/Silverfoot67/images/3-picture2.jpg

Idril, I forgot and you reminded me...I have always had a crush on David Gilmour....He is so nice and cute I think, even if getting older and middle-aged looking now. I like him very much, among other rock stars from that era. I also thought that it would be cool to meet the lead singer from the Moody Blues, Justin Hayward, the blond, I kind of favor blonds.;) My sister actually did meet him at the casino in Atlantic City; she was going to see their concert a few years back and she was gambling and hit the jackpot - ok, so what does she do, she asks these very nice British people to watch her machine while she gets a bucket to put her chips in. Turns out she was actually chatting with the members of the Moody Blues, especially Justin Hayward! When I tease her about it; she just says - "well, you know, they did get old!" True enough...but he still appeals to me, especially if he would care to sing me "Nights in White Satin.
There are plenty of other rock stars I will have to think of and post in here.

[Equality72521]

Robert Pattinson
Josh Groban
Daniel Day-Lewis
Eric Bana
Nicolas Cage
Clive Owen
Edward Norton
Hugh Dancy
Ryan Gosling
Sean Bean

Yeah, the list is longer, I just can't remember everybody else...
These are the top though....
oh wait, oh wait, oh wait!
the most epic of all!!!!!!

Gerard Butler!!!!!
and second most epic:
Matthew McConaughey!!!!!

[Janine]

Equality, I like a few of those guys too....let's see Josh Groben, have liked him for awhile now. He is just adorable and so sweet and he sings beautifully. I have a few of his albums.

I like Clive Owen a lot, he and Sean Bean are very sexy men. I find Gary Oldman very appealing in certain films. Recently, I saw this young fairly unknown actor I think I have now fallen in love with - Jame Murray. I also find Hugh Dancy adorable, very appealing. He starred in "Daniel Deronda".

[andave_ya]

SEAN BEAN Josh Groban SEAN BEAN Josh Groban SEAN BEAN!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, who cares about reality? It is a movie! :D One that I didn't expect to ever see and ended up really liking. Well, I think there is something extremely attractive about his character. I think that Kenneth knows how to work well with that. I think the character, his performance and the way he looks in there all helps to make him even more desirable. I really don't know how to get more into what I am saying without giving the story away, which I won't do here. :) I can watch Region 2 DVD's on my computer. So I may buy that DVD at some time. I already have a list that I plan to get from AmazonUK. I didn't know it was on DVD over there. So it has to be something that I can add on to my AmazonUK wishlist. :D I really do wish I could see that again. He is just too good to be true in that film.

Well, I can watch it downstairs on that VCR; may look ok. I don't mind it being a tape; it's a good quality one. I have two VCR's hooked up upstairs. I just can't figure out how to set the TV to get them to work; I own a lot of tapes, simply because the movies were not available on DVD, others I picked up either free or very cheap. I will have to fiddle around with it and the remotes - I have four of those. I agree that the film, of course, is a 'movie' and does not have to be realistic really. It gets the dramatic points across and the cast and acting are top-notch. I love William Hurt and I love Madeline Stowe and the actress who plays the role in the household - can't think of her name right now. She is in a play I am thinking of ordering from Kultur site. I love the sites play, productions, ballets, etc DVD's. At anyrate, Ken looks just great in that film, even in the rain leading up to the house. I find him appealing in his priestly Lt. blue trimmed robe, but most of all I think he is stunning riding that thoroughbred to the mill through the autumn trees...lovely scene. He exudes a lot of sex appeal in this film. Madeline and he had just the right chemistry. I did find it on Amazon tonight; was the Spanish release: one copy available for $29.00. I will wait; eventually it will turn up, I am sure. There are clips on Youtube and people are always asking about it, where they can buy it.

Guess what I just watched again (for the zillionth time)? I watched "Henry V". You know everytime I see the film I notice something new or some really great new line that just strikes me in the gut. I love that film. I think that Ken's performance is his very best ever. It is fresh and so convincing. The cast in brilliant, down to the least part and the setting and the way the chorus (Derek Jacobi) narrates from time to time is fantastic. I can't say enough about the film. He should have won the award that year for that film. It should have won many awards. Everytime I look on Amazon at lists people compile of favorite films, it is usually at the top.

The film extras on my DVD suggested the MGM site: www.mgm.com It is a very cool site. You would like it a lot. I just looked at the "Valkerie" previews - wow, that looks really good; the filming is beautiful. Branagh plays a German, part of the conspiracy to assinate Hitler. Tom Cruise stars. Now normally, I am not a big Cruise fan, but I have liked him in a few films through the years. He actually looks very much like the real life guy who tried to pull this off. I have to say, from the previews, this film looks to be excellent. I read a lot, too about the conspiracy and it is fascinating. It comes out in December. I would really like to go to the theater and see it; it looks to be amazing on a large screen format. I think true stories and I am always trying to figure out just what was going on in Nazi Germany so this film fascinates me.

I still buy videos because I know there is a lot that I can only find that way.

Oh, I love William Hurt. She was always good, too. I think the really good actors are disappearing, but that is something that is a topic for another thread. :) Wasn't it Blythe Danner in that role?

I think there is a touch of something sinful in finding him appealing in the priestly robe. I think that adds to the allure of his character. :p You DO love him riding that horse, don't you? :D What about all of the men riding their horses in the beginning of "Much Ado"? I remember when I first saw that. I saw it on the big movie screen. I almost died for him! :D They all looked good, but he was the best! :)


Guess what I just watched again (for the zillionth time)? I watched "Henry V".
I haven't watched that in years. I would say that it is due for a viewing again. I think that is my one brother's favorite movie.

I am planning on seeing it. I have never found Cruise to be too appealing, but I think he actually looks OK in this film. You know, I think the real man was more attractive than Cruise! :) For some strange reason, Ken is very good as a Nazi. :confused: Of course, this time he will be more of a "good" guy. But it will be nice to see him in a film again. I really need a nice fix of Branagh. :D

[Janine]

I really wish that I could get to NJ to do it for you. I would get it done! :p

That is very nice of you to say, thanks. But actually the hookup is not really the problem. I have this complicated hookup with a selector box; remember I said I have the TV hooked up to four units. It was working fine, when my son was here, but then the second VCR was not displaying the film on the screen later when I tried it - go figure. However, that older unit still comes in handy to rewind the tapes and spares the new unit wear/tear. The thing is the new unit has both (DVD and VHS); two types of cables. I just need to use the two remotes, to get that one, to select the VHS over the DVD. For some reason, I got this all mixed up, and then I could not seem to view anything on the screen; :( now that I can view the DVD's, I've been afraid to fiddle around trying to watch tapes; but soon I will pull the whole thing out, look behind and mentally see how it is connected, figure it out. It may just be I don't have the right button down on the selector box. I have to see which wire goes to which unit. My son connected it, and he could fix it in a second; however, he is always too busy now with the baby:D, so I don't ask.


I still buy videos because I know there is a lot that I can only find that way.

Exactly. I even watched this poor quality DVD film (not remastered) the other night and enjoyed it anyway, since I bought it for my D.H.Lawrence adaptation collection, a story that interests me, since I read it several times,"The Virgin and the Gypsy"; wrote it up, a few post back.


Oh, I love William Hurt. She was always good, too. I think the really good actors are disappearing, but that is something that is a topic for another thread. :) Wasn't it Blythe Danner in that role?

I love William Hurt, too. I adored his character, fell in love with him in the film "Children of a Lesser God"; ever see it? The one about the deaf woman? My heart bleed for him when they broke off. I just recall one scene where he is listening to a record playing of some opera or classical composition and his eyes say it all - total vulnerability and heartbreak. Madeline Stowe is great and beautiful; while researching on Youtube "The Proposition" (about a year back) I came across this very interesting film with Stowe and Richard Greer. I don't know the name of it now, but it looked totally enthralling. I will have to see if I can find it again. The way it was photographed was really magnetic.

Yes, indeed, it was Blythe Danner, I think she is wonderful. I really want to buy the play she stars in from Kultur. Maybe soon I will. She is much younger in that film. She is always good.


I have some of those from that company, too. :D

Great company! I first discovered them from a VHS at my library and then I bought the film version on DVD -"Madame Butterfly"...fantastic film! I think I did track that one down on Amazon, because I could get it cheaper. I usually do look on their site first, and see what might be available. I think I may have bought directly from them once but now I am not sure.

I remember when I first saw that. I saw it on the big movie screen. I almost died for him! :D They all looked good, but he was the best! :)

That scene still totally thrills me...the opening horseback scene for "Much Ado..." I even play it over and over again, and yes, they all looked great, but Branagh looked totally gorgeous back then on horseback. I am so jealous of you! I have actually never viewed a Branagh film in the theater. I was just thinking last night how great "Henry V" would be on the big screen and I long to see it that way someday. Wish I could talk my son into showing it on his big screen in his living room, but hardly think it would appeal to his wife. He would most likely enjoy it though. I recall that when Mel Gibson's "Hamlet" came out, my son was speechless during the whole film...the was totally entralled and I would never have expected it; he was not into literature at all, let alone Shakespeare. I wish I could get him to see Branagh's "Hamlet" and "Henry V". I feel sure he would like them both emensely.

Yes, you are totally right - that robe did make one feel a bit naughty/sinful feeling attracted to the man wearing it..very alluring but then I felt he was also in that wet leather jacket. But then I liked Chamberlain in his long robes in "The Thornbirds"; but both men are appealing, no matter what they wear or don't wear (well, in their younger days, that certainly was true). I liked when Eleanor called Father Michael at night and he was all warm and asleep in his little modest bed, especially when he told her his god was the plain god for the every - well something like that - wish I could accurately quote it; next time I'll write down the lines. Later he gives her the ultimate compliment in the mill, responding with 'she' referring to her god - so subtle....a beautiful and thoughful moment. I like men who pay attention and Michael did. He listened with his heart. I find that is what made him appealing to me and his vulnerability in this film. I loved his narration too - in this film that really lend something to it. I love the ending lines...beautiful.


I haven't watched that in years. I would say that it is due for a viewing again. I think that is my one brother's favorite movie.

Definitely overdue. I watched it about a year ago. I watch it yearly, I think...haha. Even though Henry can be fierce, warlike at times, he is heroic and human; I still fall in love with him all over again - especially in that last scene with his new French bride.


I am planning on seeing it. I have never found Cruise to be too appealing, but I think he actually looks OK in this film. You know, I think the real man was more attractive than Cruise! :) For some strange reason, Ken is very good as a Nazi. :confused: Of course, this time he will be more of a "good" guy. But it will be nice to see him in a film again. I really need a nice fix of Branagh. :D

Oh, now this one would be so great on the big screen. I will have to see if I can go somehow. I have this problem, since I can't sit an hour without finding the little girls room. This looks to be so suspenseful, one can't miss a minute. Maybe I will have to go twice, so I can run out different times in the film. Where there's a will there's a way. Yes, Cruise looks like he does a decent job portraying the real man in this film. The director is a highly respected one; I think he keeps Cruise under controlled, unlike some of Cruise's films that I hated, overdoses of violence and action. This film looks to be a great thriller, very suspenseful. Did you watch the videos on the MGM site? The picture there is very clear/dynamic. One part is about the making of the film; that's great, they show the director. Yes,:(Branagh seems to fit the Nazi role well. He was great in "Conspiracy" - won the Emmy Award for that role, I believe; well deserved. He was also a sort of half nice Nazi in "Swing Kids"...but not nice at the end, really. That is one of my favorite films. There again he worked with Christian Bale and Robert Sean Leonard; he tends to collaborate often. "Valyrie" should be somewhat different. I don't know of him ever working with Cruise, or some of the other prominent characters. "I really need a nice fix of Branagh." I have been thinking this same exact thing. It is about time.

Eventually, I wish he would reprise some roles for Shakespeare plays where older men are prominent - perhaps 'Lear', but not sure he fits the Lear persona; wish he could do 'Richard III' on screen, but he is probably too old for the role now. He did play it on stage and 'the fool' in the production of 'Lear' and the audioplay; I still need to listen to the CD set I bought; it is still in the wrapper a year later.

Hi Janine and Lady Wentworth, (the other Ken fans :lol:). I just thought I'd make you jealous as there has just been a trailer on tv, just a couple of minutes ago, (there's that synchronicity again :)), for a new series here, starting next week, called Wallander and starring......can you guess....da da ..the one, the only KENNETH BRANAGH :D:D. Can't wait. Of course, you may already have had it in the US. Have I missed something , were you talking about our Ken when you mentioned Father Michael, or was that someone else, as I don't recognise the role? And you're absolutely right, I loved him in MAAN, especially when he turned serious and grabbed Robert Sean Leonard (?) by the throat after all the light-hearted banter. It made it so much more effective, as we had seen him being jokey throughout, but then he was prepared to sort out his friend "the cad".

I will get back to you both about our mutual likes and dislikes soon, Shakey, films, theatre, art etc. just a bit busy at the moment, I just had time for a quick scan down the threads but need to think about the other stuff. Catch you soon.

This is great! We will have to start our own fan club. I know that Lady Wenthworth would advocate it; we have talked hours about you-know-who. Oh my gosh, a TV series - get out! I will have to check that out and it is definitely synchronicity here - I was thinking the about the same word last night after viewing 'Henry V' again. I was thinking about Chrisitan Bale in the film and also other stars who crop up later with Branagh and also thinking how Branagh comprised a number of D.H.Lawrence roles (I'm a big fan of the author) - I own most of the films, but one I want so badly and can't find anywhere: "The Boy in the Bush", set in Australia. I wish I could get my hands on that film, even if it had to be a VHS tape. I am reading the book currently. Branagh learned to ride horseback in that film. I think there may be clips on Youtube, but I also have seen the stills in the KB Compendium. I will check Youtube for the TV show. It did not air here that I know of. I am in the US; we get stuff like that later.

So you have never seen "The Proposition" with Father Michael?....oh, I highly recommend you find it or catch it on TV. It is still out there, but currently I could only find it on DVD at $29. - a Spanish release. I only own the videotape and love that film. He is a-dorable and very sexy in this movie. Be careful though - there are two films by the name.

PS: I wrote you a long post in your profile page. Hope you don't mind the length. I had a lot to talk about ;). Hope you find it informative.

Sorry you are so busy, wessexgirl, I should be doing useful/other things right now, too.... so take your time answering all of this.

[LadyWentworth]

Maybe we could start our own social group. :p I'm all for a fan club! :D


Oh my gosh, a TV series - get out!
My thoughts exactly!! Is it on the BBC or something else? That would be based on what channel we would eventually get it on (if anything at all). Ah, Janine, a weekly dose of Kenny! Just imagine! :D

Yes, yes, yes, you MUST see it!!!! It is well worth it! :) He is beautiful in there. :) And like I said, the film is good, too. :D

Oh, that is OK, wessexgirl. I have been terribly busy here. I understand how it goes. So take your time. No rush at all. :)

[Janine]

Yes! great idea - a social group on Ken...I would love that! Hopefully any Ken complainers can stay clear of it. Ok, you want to start it or should I? I have tons of information on our Ken and you have an actual autograph - you didn't lose it again, did you? I would put that under lock and key.


My thoughts exactly!! Is it on the BBC or something else? That would be based on what channel we would eventually get it on (if anything at all). Ah, Janine, a weekly dose of Kenny! Just imagine! :D

OMG - will I need cable hooked up? I don't have it upstairs and I don't want to miss even one episode. A weekly dose sounds great to me...I have been starved lately, although I am listening to his dreamy sexy poetic accented voice narrating "Frankenstein" - the complete text. That reminds me, I must get to tape 2; Ken kept luring me to sleep at night and I had to rewind a lot.;) He has that soothing effect on me. I will be getting that converter box since I applied for a goverment coupon so I can get BBC here I think on regular stations. Wonder when it will be on and what is it about?


Yes, yes, yes, you MUST see it!!!! It is well worth it! :) He is beautiful in there. :) And like I said, the film is good, too. :D

Gorgeous and beautiful...to die for on horseback and in the barn/mill scene. I will find the Youtube and post the link. You will melt, wessexgirl. Maybe we should start an internet campaign to get the film out on DVD; someone did that for "Hamlet" and it payed off.


Oh, that is OK, wessexgirl. I have been terribly busy here. I understand how it goes. So take your time. No rush at all. :)

Me too or at least I should be doing stuff other than this dang computer.:(

[wessexgirl]

Hi girls, I'll have to check out that Father Michael thing. Here's a bit about what's coming up, and it looks as if it's going to be on dvd soon. It is the Beeb, so you will probably get it there. I'm all for a group on Ken...hey we're groupies...;)

Thanks, I just read the whole article and this is going to be goooood!!! I can't wait now. I am really syked. So it will be out on DVD soon, too. I think I can get channel 12, which is the BBC, but is that the same as the Beeb?

I will go and hunt for a Youtube link to "The Proposition".

Yes, indeed! We are groupies...:lol:

[Guinivere]

Thanks for the article. I just read it. Can't wait. I'll have my gran tape it for me, so I can watch it on Christmas.
I love the photo of Kenneth by the way. He looks so depressed, it's heart-breaking.

I quite enjoyed the Swedish versions. But let's see what Kenneth has in store for us.

Oh and about other celeb crushes. At this point I can only say that I have an unnatural obsession with Ciaran Hinds, Julian Sands and Richard Armitage. It's those period movies that just do me in. :D

[Janine]

Guinivere, although my first love is still Ken B, I do like Ciaran Hinds emensely and Julian Sands in his younger days was definitely the type I fall for.

I agree with you, he looks sad and lost, but that makes him even more interesting to me. He is a heartbreaker when he plays roles like this. I can't wait to see the series - I think he will bring much depth to it, and no doubt some humor, too. You must join our KB fan club in the social group forum section - we haven't started it yet so we will let you know when. I have been
busy this afternoon watching Branagh Yourtube clips and dug up some truly interesting stuff, that I had not seen before. I will post these in the new social group, once we get that rolling.

wessexgirl, I could only find this exerpt from "The Proposition" - someone took the best one off, so we are out of luck, but you can get an idea of the film by this one. It is kind of dark in the beginning, but stick to it till he goes inside the house. He looked great in this film with dark hair and full beard. Wish they still had the amazing mill scene on - that one was so romantic.

As for me, it would have to be Hiro Mizushima, the actor who played the role of Tendou Souji in Kamen Rider Kabuto. I don't know if anyone here has heard of him, though. I like him so much!!! He looks so cool. Tres tres beau!

crystalmoonshin, I have never heard of him but I will take your word for it. Any chance you can post a photo of him? Now I am curious.

Now I just thought of someone international that I like; he lived in France but I think his origin goes back to another country - possibly Italy or Romania. I will have to look it up. He is an terrific opera singer, director, producer, etc.....he does it all and is soooo appealing, well at least in his younger days he was....a member on this site turned me onto him. His name is Roberto Alagna....amazing voice and lovely film productions, especially of "Romeo and Juliet" and his own production on film of "Tosca." I own both DVD's. I admire his talent greatly and he is not bad to look at either; a real cutie, sweet and sexy.

[Janine]

wessexgirl, I was checking up on Wallander, but I can only find the DVD on Amazon UK site. There are ones on Amazon but they are from European countries. Did they do this series in other countries a few years back. It seems a bit confusing to me. I also cannot find a listing for the program on the BBC station here; maybe it will have to air there before we get it here - what do you think? I can't then see why it is already being offered on DVD if it did not air yet. Do you know why that would be. The DVD apparently only included 3 episodes of the show. I take it is it an hour length show, right?

Hi Janine. Thanks for the Youtube clip. It looks good, but I don't think I can get it on dvd here. Was it done for tv, as I've never heard of it? The Wallander series is only 3 episodes, but they are feature length ones (an hour and a half). They start on Sunday, but they often have the dvds advertised on the internet before they're shown on tv, but I don't think they can sell them until the programmes have been screened. I think you can pre-order here, but I don't know about in the US. The Beeb is just a familiar term for the BBC :D. I believe that the books have been televised in their native Sweden, so you probably saw dvd versions of them. I think Guinevere has seen them, (perhaps another groupie for the club :lol:). I would think you will get the series in the US after us, if you tend to get other Beeb productions. I will try to post on the Shakespeare thread you mentioned when I have a minute, (hectic day at school + tiredness + feeling a bit under the weather, hope I'm not getting the flu :(). A comforting wallow on the sofa with a good historical drama tonight I think, if I can manage to stay awake!

wessexgirl, are you referring to "The Proposition"? I could only get that film on VHS tape; if I could copy it I could send it to you but my copy is not that wonderful really. I need to find the DVD version myself, also; I keep looking and hoping. I have another link for you and in this beautiful composite of Ken's most romantic moments, you will see the scene in the barn, which I was referring to and another where he is passionately kissing Eleanor in the house.

http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=2QhMkeWIxg4&feature=related

I own all these films that the cuts were taken from; the guy who made this video did a really great job of it, very professional and the song by Bowie is an older song I immediately recognised and responded to. I love his spin on it and I have always loved that song. So enjoy the video!:D Someone in the commentary section, has a list of which movies they are from. Apparently, the guy made this for his mom, so sweet.:) I am hoping to download some software so I can copy this video - it is too good to let get away.

Oh good, only the three episodes. I saw that listed on the Amazon UK site. I never bought from them before but Lady Wentworth said she has, and I could do so, since I have a Region 2 player. I feel sure it will become available here soon, so probably I can wait awhile. I really want to buy "The Magic Flute", when I find that reasonable....maybe "Sleuth", too. Have you seen it yet; if so, what was your opinion?


http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/the--devils-whore-channel-4brthe-ascent-of-money-channel-4-1030798.html

I checked this site out and copied quite a number of cool articles from it. Thanks so much.

I went on the 'Kenneth Branagh Compendium' last night, and I found so much out about 'Wanlander'. There is a very good trailer there; I must say, now I am captivated. It looked like an A1 performance from Mr. KB. I can't wait to see it now. :thumbs_up

Note that on the Compendium there are other very good trailers also, that and the MGM site are so interesting.

Just a teaser for the groupies :lol:. The Radio Times is the premier listings magazine in the UK, which was just the Beeb's mag at one time, but now, with the plethora of mags available it 's a guide for all of the channels, but it is the Beeb's organ, so to speak! It is quite a prestigious thing to get the cover, so they obviously are promoting a quality programme. There is an interview inside, which I will try to get for you.

That's cool, wessexgirl. I just looked at it - thanks; if you can get me the article, I will copy it to my files...it may actually be the same one I found on the Kenneth Branagh Compendium, which I did copy right off. I imagine they will add it into Ken's many cover photos in the photo files in the KB Compendium. They have some great videos of the series in there. This really whetted my appetite to see it. Hey, wessexgirl, have you ever seen B playing in Ibsen's "Ghosts" play - opposite Dame Judi Dench? I caught clips of it on Youtube and I have some great new information and links. Lady Wentworth had great ideas on starting the social group - she may even begin it tonight. For me I won't be on much in the day (day here now) because I will be cooking a small turkey today just for my mother and I; I have to start that soon. I will check back later tonight and see if she did start it or maybe it will be started tomorrow sometime. We will have a really good time in there chit-chatting about you-know-who, our mutal obsession! :lol:

Last night I ordered "The Magic Flute" from the Amazon UK site. Then I look in my mail and see that I accidentally ordered 2! I can't believe it. The price was not bad though and the reviews over there were great - I think they rated it nearly all the stars. 3 people wrote great assessments of the film - say it is luminous and brilliant and so enjoyable. I know I will love it since I have seen many cuts of it on Youtube. Can't wait and probably someone here will want the second one I bought accidently. I hope my converion to the US dollar was correct.

I hope to order more things from that site and I did put Wallander into my wish list. It just might be my Christmas gift from my sister - she is giving money so I might order it soon. Can't wait to see it and I must own it of course.:lol:

Geez, wessexgirl, I think I will have to move over to the UK soon. I love going on the Amazon UK site....iti s such fun to read the reviews and the site has all the kinds of films, TV shows that I adore....mostly British, Irish, Scottish.

So was it "The Proposition" you saw the excerpt of? If so I did find it on Amazon UK and there are two listed - one the DVD and the other a VHS tape - the second is more reasonable but the DVD may be a better print. I may try and buy one of the DVD's from there or one from here, which is actually the German version but with English language options, too. I have seen it listed here before but will have to wait for a good price.

Hi, Englishrose, we're from the same place! Are you a native Brummie, or just living there? I hate to appear ignorant, but who's your crush :blush:?

Janine, I'm addicted to Amazon too. I waste so much time browsing their site when I should be doing useful stuff, oh well. Is it very different to the US Amazon then, I thought they would have the same stuff on?

I haven't seen the Ibsen with Judi Dench. That must be interesting. I haven't seen Ken's Magic Flute either, but I do love the opera, and have seen a few other versions of it. I am always waiting to hear if the Queen of the Night can handle THAT aria. I've seen it in the theatre, and everyone is on the edge of their seats to see if the singer can do it without bottling it :lol:!
OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!! I don't believe it, as I'm typing this an advert has just come on tv using the aria!!!!!!! SYNCHRONICITY AGAIN OR WHAT????? Weird! I think we must be on the same wavelength or something :D

I hope Lady Wentworth can set up that group, that would be good as we must be boring others on the thread with our Ken :lol:

[Janine]

Hi, Englishrose, we're from the same place! Are you a native Brummie, or just living there? I hate to appear ignorant, but who's your crush :blush:?

Yes, Englishrose, who is that guy? I can certainly find some young appeal there. He has a cute face - sort of vulnerable looking; sweet curved lips, pretty 'bedroom' eyes and I always favor blond hair.


Janine, I'm addicted to Amazon too. I waste so much time browsing their site when I should be doing useful stuff, oh well. Is it very different to the US Amazon then, I thought they would have the same stuff on?

Oh my gosh, look what you made me do...or inspired me to do. I never really joined Youtube - just viewed the stuff all the time. Now I really wanted to comment about the obscure bits and so I signed up finally, username and password. I no sooner did and two big Branagh fans emailed me. One just emailed me again to request I be her friend. I hope I can talk them both into coming over here and they could join our club too, although I think they have pretty cool pages over there and lots to talk about about our guy. I hope one of them can tell me where to find "The Boy in the Bush" - the book I am reading by D.H.Lawrence, but the BBC film is impossible to find and it stars a very young Ken!:thumbs_up In fact, he learned to horseback ride in that film. I know we are hijacking this thread, but there are not many people on here currently and with it being Thanksgiving over here probably many are stuffed and now sitting vegatating in front of TV's so don't worry about it. Have you ever read Ken's early autobiography? I loved every minute of it. I recently bought a biography by Mark White; now I can't wait to read it.

I've seen it in the theatre, and everyone is on the edge of their seats to see if the singer can do it without bottling it :lol:!

Oh, you must go over there and check it out. I think there are only a few segments of it or parts. You can get the idea though and it seems to be very intense. It made me want to watch it now. I also would like to get the Billy Plays, very early part for Branagh. Have you seen them?


OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!! I don't believe it, as I'm typing this an advert has just come on tv using the aria!!!!!!! SYNCHRONICITY AGAIN OR WHAT????? Weird! I think we must be on the same wavelength or something :D

That is definitely weird. The aria is on TV? Unreal and I bought the film last night, after I have waited for it for ages. One of the clips on Youtube showed the Queen of the Night hitting those high notes - I don't have a great ear for opera but it sounded impressive to me. Some listings for the BBC, were different or expanded in the KB category. I always have to hunt and go back pages. On our Amazon, that is how I found "Symphony for(at?) the Spire"...and the tape cost me only 98 cents! It plays fine. Of course, there was some shipping. Ken comes on stage (outdoor threater in front of the ancient cathedral) and re-enacts exerpts from Henry V. It is great - full orchestra playing Patrick Doyle's score...Placido Domingo sings some arias and another well-known opera female star sings and Charleston Heston recites some Shakespeare; well worth my 98 cents. :D I always loved that word - synchronicity - love the song by Sting....so there is some more synchronicity for you!


I hope Lady Wentworth can set up that group, that would be good as we must be boring others on the thread with our Ken :lol:

She said she might later tonight. But if she is feeling stuffed as I am right now and exhausted from cooking the turkey and cleaning up, then she might leave it till tomorrow. I think I am going to vegatate myself soon...I am getting digestion tired now...The turkey dinner came out great though. I was really pleased with it.

YOU CRAZY!

Just kiddin'; ya caught me. I changed 'em because I thought these two pictures were cuter. The first guy's Howlin' Pelle Almqvist and the second's his brother Nicholaus Arson. They're in a band called The Hives. They have good genes. :redface:

Lily, you are so funny! It must be a generational thing, because I think only brother #1 is sort of cute; but his eyebrows are kind of thick. I guess we all have our own taste. I definitely have never heard of the Hives, but there are zillions of bands I never have heard of so don't think anything of me saying so. What country are they from? Sorry I am so ill infomed. I am old! ;):lol:


Ha ha ha! He's not hungover. I think he looks hot in that picture. :p He's an underground movie director/actor. Here's another picture of Rusty:

He likes a lotta the stuff that I like.

N I like Star Crunch from Man or Astro-man?, too.



You sure he's not hung-over? He looks it. Are you serious, do you really think him hot? His jaw is sort of long to me and what exactly is that expression - is it pain?:( Maybe he is hot, temperature wise. I don't see the attractiveness, but as I said before - it is generational I guess and I am old...:( so be kind to me...;)

Now the last guy; he is ok, but sort of geeky (well, to me). Do you like geeky guys or men in glasses? and I observe that you go for musicians - rock stars. Are you in a band yourself? Well, it is the age old adage 'to each his own'. You, no doubt, would probably hate the guys I think are cute or attractive. Some of them are either dead or old, too!:lol:

His voice is amazingly sexy. I always kinda thought him handsome, but I feel a bigger crush growing. Then again I have been feeling crushy lately.

They're from Sweden and one of the few "modern" bands I like.

:lol: I took that screencap! He's just playing a character who's waking up in a movie. He is pretty good lookin' I think, plus he likes a lotta awesome stuff, like I said. Rusty also looks like Bob Mothersbaugh, who I also have a crush on. (And basically the rest of DEVO) His face, at least. Same face shapes.

:lol: MAYBE! Even if they aren't that good looking, if they are awesome that makes them a million times more hotter. I do have a thing for men in glasses, though.

Yeah, I like-a dem rockstars. Probably part of being a teenage girl. I WISH I was in a band!

Not necessarily!

I like older men. A lot. Actually. I go for teachers n rock stars.

Oh, and by the way, don't try to judge my entire generation because of my tastes-I have very little, if anything at all, in common with them. I can most assure you that my taste in men is nothing like what girls my age prefer.

Lily, I just got your friend's request and accepted it. Hey, you trying to convert me?

.....now I am just kiddding.....Why weren't you on my list earlier? You and I have been here forever. ;) We are regulars!!! :lol:

You do make me laugh - 'feeling crushy lately'...? haha...oh to be a teen again...:bawling:...that was like a zillion light years ago for me....


:lol: I took that screencap! He's just playing a character who's waking up in a movie. He is pretty good lookin' I think, plus he likes a lotta awesome stuff, like I said.

Well, he wakes up kind of strange with some odd expression; it that a yawn? I guess you have to know him to love him.:D


:lol: MAYBE! Even if they aren't that good looking, if they are awesome that makes them a million times more hotter. I do have a thing for men in glasses, though.

Well, I agree with this. I usually go for the brainy guys and I like them in glasses a lot, but it really doesn't hurt if they actually are pretty cute or handsome physically either. I don't mind flaws at all - that makes them human; I don't even mind moles or warts on their face, if the face is put together nicely and appealing. For instance, I really like Ciaran Hinds, the actor and I don't think one could actually say he is handsome, but he does have appeal. Now my favorite actor is getting older, so one might say - humm....cuter when younger, but now that I have obsessed on him long enough, I seem to not notice he is aging. I still find him very attractive, although sometimes I don't like his hairdo...ahaha...I am picky.


Yeah, I like-a dem rockstars. Probably part of being a teenage girl. I WISH I was in a band!

What are dem rockstars...see I may actually be getting an education talking to you. All teenage girls want to be in a band. Oh I can think of a band member I really think is cute but in his own way - David Gilmore of Pink Floyd - ever hear of him or them? haha...just kidding again...surely you have although the band has broken up and he is getting old, too, like me....:lol:


Not necessarily!

I like older men. A lot. Actually. I go for teachers n rock stars.


Oh then maybe you would like some I like. Who do you like in the older man range? Just curious. We may be able to find someone in common. Now let me see, can they be actors who play teachers? I will have to think on this awhile.:confused:

Odd how my type face keeps mimicing your type face (above) - sort of spacey - you beaming me up or something?

I thought so, too, but apparently not. :( Ah well!


You do make me laugh - 'feeling crushy lately'...? haha...oh to be a teen again...:bawling:...that was like a zillion light years ago for me....

Chyeah, I love being a teeanger. For the most part. You mean adults can't feel crushy? You just have go *squeal squeal squeal* a lot and "tee hee" and such.

Here's what I do to the Hives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrHv1EJ6F2Y (One of my favorite songs by them) I love playing air guitar...broom guitar's even better. :p




Well, he wakes up kind of strange with some odd expression; it that a yawn? I guess you have to know him to love him.:D

I dunno! XD He is pretty cool, though.

Yep! Aw, he ain't too bad lookin'! I think part of it is knowing who they are. :) Like how I like Rusty. Hahahaha.

I used to be REALLY picky but since I've actually had a couple boyfriends that pickiness seems to have gone away. Though I can't say I don't have preferences, of course.




What are dem rockstars...see I may actually be getting an education talking to you. All teenage girls want to be in a band.

:lol: If you haven't noticed I like to use slang when I type. "Dem"="them". unless you mean like...what other rockstars I like. Like I said, I like DEVO, too...I added some stuff in that post later that you may not have noticed. :blush: Like about tastes and stuff.

Oh, yeah, you mentioned him before! Yes, I know of Pink Floyd-one of my best friends loves them. Trust me, I listen to old music for the most part! Just not Pink Floyd. Haven't heard much of them.

I know! It's part of being a teenager, I think. I listen to a really good band and I think, "MAN! I wish I could do that!" I want to play the guitar, but my hands are way too small. Dad says if I get all A's this semester he'll buy me a ukulele. Do you think anybody would listen to a rock band that has a ukulele player in it?




Oh then maybe you would like some I like. Who do you like in the older man range? Just curious. We may be able to find someone in common. Now let me see, can they be actors who play teachers? I will have to think on this awhile.:confused:

It's really bad, but I think guys in their 50's are in their prime. :redface: Maybe it's because I'm kinda obsessed with the time period when they were in their youth. I dunno about the actors as teachers thing. Never really thought about that. I loooooove teachers, though. S'hot. When I grow up, I wanna be a teacher in a rock band. That'd be awesome. My English teacher does that! :lol: I don't have a crush on him, though...

I went in their and magically changed your post because I am a trickster like that.

[Janine]

I thought so, too, but apparently not. :( Ah well!

Sorry I did not ask you before this. I have quite a list now of friends in there which I feel honored about. I love people and I love meeting new people as well. Just recently I meet 4 or 5 new people who like the same things I do. I am quite happy right now.


Chyeah, I love being a teeanger. For the most part. You mean adults can't feel crushy? You just have go *squeal squeal squeal* a lot and "tee hee" and such.

That is great to hear! I grew up in the 60's since I am 58, you know the time of the Beatles and the introduction of Rock and Roll music. It was a great time actually...so many of the big groups came from my era. Whether I really enjoyed being a teenager is questionable actually. I was painfully shy and the only artist in my school; well practically so...a few others tended towards liking art but the school considered me their artist...."oh heavy burden." I imagine I was an overly sensitive teen and it was sometimes a painful time for me, other times I was totally carefree and happy. I had a good family and so homelife was fine, asside from a few problems. I really branched out and blossomed post high school, when I attended a more progressive art school/college in Philadelphia. Those years were my favorite. I had such a great life back then. It was now the 70's and a there was a certain aura about those 10 yrs, things really changed and lots of rock bands came and went...it was great. I loved rock when I was younger and still do. I just bought a Boston CD but that is not heavy rock, of course. I liked more soft-rock or orchestrated rock. I still have a huge vinyl record collection, tapes and an equally huge CD collection. I eyeing up those turntables that can connect to your USB port and you can turn you albums into audio files on the computer. If I had one, you can't imagine how much music I would have assess to. It would be great! well...this is my dream...maybe I will get enough Christmas money to pull it off.


Here's what I do to the Hives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrHv1EJ6F2Y (One of my favorite songs by them) I love playing air guitar...broom guitar's even better. :p

Thanks, I will have to listen to them today. Now, can't promise I will like them but I will promise to give them a try. I am always open to new things and new music. In fact my son downloaded his Ipod onto my computer and I still have the files even after getting a newer computer. I did delete some recently I absolutely did not like, but I had kept it for a long time, trying to give it a chance. I actually have some Pink Floyd on there - Sean and I have always had a mutual admiration for that band and I have a real thing for David Gilmore, he just does it for me...or I wish he could...haha:lol: Something about him is sexy. My son has some alternative on there that I really like a lot. I liked alternative when it first came along. I like Depeche Mode...that is the name, isn't it? I think I have some Mono too, unless I deleted it. I will check it out and get back to you.


I dunno! XD He is pretty cool, though.

Well maybe it is the photo and maybe he is cuter than that on videos. I will check him out. Is his hair blond or brown now?


Yep! Aw, he ain't too bad lookin'! I think part of it is knowing who they are. :) Like how I like Rusty. Hahahaha.

Who Ciaran Hinds? I like his roles and the way he acts or his manerisms. Manerisms usually determine if I am attracted to a guy or actor. I like them to be strong but then a little vulnerable and sometimes just sort of cute and human. Then I do feel I know them and they real man under the acting facade and this turns me onto them. I feel that way about Kenneth Branagh. He is so cute and cool to see informally in interviews or when he is at a film opening. I just want to hug him. He also speaks directly to the person and is always so courteous and nice to them. These good fine qualities are what make him so appealing. He is cool - he can be funny and crazy and oh so serious. I like men with a combo and multifaceted persona. This is why I love his work and admire it. He can be a villain, he is great at that such as in "Othello" or a real softy under a rough exterior...in "To Kill Your Neighbor's Dog"....a truly wonderful heartfelt film, funny as hell, too.


I used to be REALLY picky but since I've actually had a couple boyfriends that pickiness seems to have gone away. Though I can't say I don't have preferences, of course.

I did and I didn't. I actually did like this one guy I dated so much and he had bad skin - but I felt he was still attractive and I felt bad about his skin being scared. I sort of loved him in my own way. I love Brian Adams and he has pockmarked skin - a shame. I still find him so sexy, even now that he is older.
I can tell you that as I get older I am way less picky than when I was younger. I think now I can see the whole package better and the interior is more important anyway. If the person has a good character that is really what matters most to me. I used to dislike bald but now I actually sometimes find it attractive or at least I can deal with it and not worry whether it detracts. I knew this really cute guy who was bald and he was so appealing; unfortunately he was gay. He as so nice to me and I actually think he was somewhat attracted to me as well; we used to kid around a lot; he was great fun. I could have fallen for him.


:lol: If you haven't noticed I like to use slang when I type. "Dem"="them". unless you mean like...what other rockstars I like. Like I said, I like DEVO, too...I added some stuff in that post later that you may not have noticed. :blush: Like about tastes and stuff.

No problem with slang in here but in some of the other more serious novel, short story, play discussion threads it is sometimes a problem because, who has the time to interpret? It is appropriate here in the fun thread. I didn't notice which other rockstars you liked....are there any from my generations or the 70's to thru 80's?...I might be talking about your grandmother's music or your mom's.:lol:


Oh, yeah, you mentioned him before! Yes, I know of Pink Floyd-one of my best friends loves them. Trust me, I listen to old music for the most part! Just not Pink Floyd. Haven't heard much of them.

Try Pink Floyd - they are timeless! Great stuff - see them on Youtube. I am sure there are tons of videos on there of their fantastic concerts. They helped invent rock! What other old stuff do you listen to? You have me curious now.:D


I know! It's part of being a teenager, I think. I listen to a really good band and I think, "MAN! I wish I could do that!" I want to play the guitar, but my hands are way too small. Dad says if I get all A's this semester he'll buy me a ukulele. Do you think anybody would listen to a rock band that has a ukulele player in it?

So funny about the ukulele. Someone posted a link to a ukulele band - think they are from the UK. I will find the link and post it - don't think though it will be your cup of tea. It wasn't even mine, but still you may laugh at the uks playing together - might get inspired, too.;):lol:

Aha - see you admit it - 50 yr olds are in their prime. Well, I think 40 is more so but that is just me and I am now heading for 60, but I would have no qualms about seeing someone 10 yrs younger than myself. It has happened to me for years actually in the past. Funny about actors as teachers - I thought of that because when I was young - probably a teenager - I love several films with actors as teachers - "To Sir With Love" and "Goodbye Mr. Chips"....so I could relate to that idea.


I went in their and magically changed your post because I am a trickster like that.

You must have gone to a small school, then! Sorry about those problems...trust me, I got problems, too, but on the whole I am a very lucky kidd-O.

I am patiently waiting for college as much as I like high school. The people in college want to actually be in school and learn. I want to be around people who like to learn, like me.

My mom likes that orchestrated rock stuff. She likes Boston and ELO. I don't really like the music my parents listen to, but I have been far more open with music than I ever have been lately. So I've been thinking about pawing through their CDs. But I absolutely refuse to like disco...sorry mom. :lol:

Those things are awesome! We have two turntables-one works and one doesn't. I have the one that's broken in my room just to look all jazzy, but I frequently use the one out in the living room for my records. I know how to use that things better than my mom...it's kinda funny, actually. She's been trying to convert all her vinyl to CD and I'm trying to convert all my CDs to vinyl. :lol:




Thanks, I will have to listen to them today. Now, can't promise I will like them but I will promise to give them a try. I am always open to new things and new music.

Aw, naw, I understand! I don't expect you to like em, hahaha.

Depeche Mode's alright.

Cool, never heard of that band. Do tell me more about them.



Well maybe it is the photo and maybe he is cuter than that on videos. I will check him out. Is his hair blond or brown now?

Good luck with that! I'm guessing it's blond. I don't have humungo crush on him, but I do think I would get all nervous around him!




Who Ciaran Hinds? I like his roles and the way he acts or his manerisms. Manerisms usually determine if I am attracted to a guy or actor. I like them to be strong but then a little vulnerable and sometimes just sort of cute and human. Then I do feel I know them and they real man under the acting facade and this turns me onto them.

Yep! Aw, yes, cute and human. Of course. Another okay lookin' man. :D Uh huh, a well-rounded personality, you mean? Always good.

I need to see Othello! I need to read it first, though. To Kill Your Neighbor's Dog? Sounds like a spoof on that Mockingbird book.




I did and I didn't. I actually did like this one guy I dated so much and he had bad skin - but I felt he was still attractive and I felt bad about his skin being scared. I sort of loved him in my own way. I love Brian Adams and he has pockmarked skin - a shame. I still find him so sexy, even now that he is older.

I like imperfections. Pockmarks sound adorable...

Interior, yes. My friend gave me a metaphor using a cupcake once. Like, if the cupcake's rotten but it's coated with icing it's still gunna be bad. Yep.

Dang! All the cute ones are gay! D: Or taken, or jerks, or SOMETHING. Geez.




No problem with slang in here but in some of the other more serious novel, short story, play discussion threads it is sometimes a problem because, who has the time to interpret? It is appropriate here in the fun thread. I didn't notice which other rockstars you liked....are there any from my generations or the 70's to thru 80's?...I might be talking about your grandmother's music or your mom's.:lol:

Haha, yes. I'm just crazy.

I like DEVO. I like 'em a lot. All of them. I think they're all sweet looking in their own ways.

Hahaha, yeah. I listen to mom's generation's music, for the most part.




Try Pink Floyd - they are timeless! Great stuff - see them on Youtube. I am sure there are tons of videos on there of their fantastic concerts. They helped invent rock! What other old stuff do you listen to? You have me curious now.:D

I shall next time I get the chance!

Hm, well define "old"...DEVO, of course, Oingo Boingo, Blondie, Adam and the Ants, Zolar X, X-Ray Spex, The Ramones, The Decayes, Alice Donut, Klaus Nomi, EBN, Dick Dale and His Del-Tones, the Beach Boys...and bits and pieces of other such related stuff. And not related. Whatever. :lol:

That's stuff that's "old" for the most part, I think. I kinda lied about the Hives being one of the "few modern bands I listen to", I should have said something more along the lines of "one of the few modern bands that is still making music. Should have been more specific. Wait, I think Alice Donut is still makin' stuff because they re-formed...whatever. (Anybody: feel free to correct me on anything...)


So funny about the ukulele. Someone posted a link to a ukulele band - think they are from the UK. I will find the link and post it - don't think though it will be your cup of tea. It wasn't even mine, but still you may laugh at the uks playing together - might get inspired, too.;):lol:

Sometimes I feel like a reverse pedophile. >.<

I'll have to look those up!

Naw, it's cool! No worries! Good to hear. :)

Lily, you are so much fun to talk to; I never realised just how entertaining you could be and I do mean that in a positive way. I smile all through your posts


You must have gone to a small school, then! Sorry about those problems...trust me, I got problems, too, but on the whole I am a very lucky kidd-O.

Oh yes indeed, and with a lot of snobby girls. I was part of the 'outcasts' and so were my closest friends - sort of the nerd squad. To this day those snobby woman meet in a social group; and you want to know something - about 10 of them got pregnant in HS and married their football boyfriends, most divorced, of course. I was a 'square.' that is what they called us back then They even called me 'mod' because I wore different sort of clothes - a little out of the ordinary - back then the style was skirts and knee socks and those horrible-to-iron oxford cotton shirts. I wore scarves and cool pins and things done artistically and they did not quite know what to make of me. My grad class was only about 180 kids. I was quite happy to move onto art college in the big city...that was new and different and as you said - students wanted to be there; I know I did. I love college!:)


I am patiently waiting for college as much as I like high school. The people in college want to actually be in school and learn. I want to be around people who like to learn, like me.

You will adore it - more freedom and much more stimulating.


My mom likes that orchestrated rock stuff. She likes Boston and ELO. I don't really like the music my parents listen to, but I have been far more open with music than I ever have been lately. So I've been thinking about pawing through their CDs. But I absolutely refuse to like disco...sorry mom. :lol:

She does? Does she know groups like Yes, Moody Blues, Genisus, Rennaissance, Heart, Jethro Tull, etc? I could name a ton more. You might like Supertramp. I used to love them. You must ask her for me and say hi, too.

How funny about disco. That was my era in my late 20's. I guess I dug it then. Now my son informed me that my 6 month old grandbaby loves disco music. I was over their house and my son turned it on and Brooke went all wild, got up on her hands and knees and began swaying forward and backward - sort of like a hobby horse. It was a riot. The kid really has rhythm and she is only 6 months old, not even crawling yet. I must find a way to post this video on here. It is just so funny to see. Yes, you should paw around those old CD's and see if you discover some new (old) groups you would end up liking.


Those things are awesome! We have two turntables-one works and one doesn't. I have the one that's broken in my room just to look all jazzy, but I frequently use the one out in the living room for my records. I know how to use that things better than my mom...it's kinda funny, actually. She's been trying to convert all her vinyl to CD and I'm trying to convert all my CDs to vinyl. :lol:

Do they really work? I am really thinking of buying one, now that the Christmas sales are everywhere. The prices are really low and it would plug right into my USB port. Is it hard to use the software? I would love to hear some of my old albums, which I kept pristine and used to tape to preserve them. I must have at least 400 albums - seriously - all good stuff!... well I think so....Much of it is making a comeback; I observe that all the time browsing on Amazon. I do have a regular turntable but there is always junk on top and I don't feel like being bothered with it. It is very cool though to play vinyl - it has a certain authentic sound. Lady Wentworth likes it too - she also has a turntable and lots of records. I won't part with mine - the covers art is just too cool!


Aw, naw, I understand! I don't expect you to like em, hahaha.

Sure thing. Just that they are young and not appealing to me personally. One likes different things in different stages of life.


Depeche Mode's alright.

I don't listen to them much but sometimes I do for awhile. They wouldn't be my first choice, but their sound is good. How about U2 - do you like them? I like them a lot. I also always loved The Police and Sting. Now I think Sting is very sexy.


Cool, never heard of that band. Do tell me more about them.

I don't much about them. I think they are on his ipod listings; but not sure really...I will check.


Good luck with that! I'm guessing it's blond. I don't have humungo crush on him, but I do think I would get all nervous around him!

Haha - I would nervous in front of any celeb probably...I would just turn to mush. I was about a foot away from Annie Haslam from Renaissance once; I also saw Richard Chamberlain and other celebs but just briefly. I'd like an autograph of Kenneth Branagh; Lady Wentworth has one and I am totally jealous....;):lol:


Yep! Aw, yes, cute and human. Of course. Another okay lookin' man. :D Uh huh, a well-rounded personality, you mean? Always good.

Which one - Ken? Lady Wentworth just started a social group on him and I found tons of cool videos on Youtube. I just have this thing for him - he is so great in that he is very smart and funny and deeply serious in roles - very well-rounded and very creative. I like creative men.


I need to see Othello! I need to read it first, though. To Kill Your Neighbor's Dog? Sounds like a spoof on that Mockingbird book.

I loved Branagh's role in 'Othello'. I like the film a lot; I even own it and watch it many times over. Some criticised it but Branagh is used to being bashed and he ignored the critic after awhile. I don't think they were actually bashing him because his performance is really good - stellar I think. I think it was a basic critisism of the casting of Desdemona and 'Othello' but I truly like that film. I like the story. Guess I go for Shakespeare's tragedies the most, and I am not a pesimist at all; rather to the contrary but tragedy fascintes me and so do thrillers. In some way 'Othello' is a thriller. Read the play first and then watch the film.

Actually, the film is very good and funny, but also very heartfelt - about this couple who are trying to have a baby, and the husband is not too keen on it and then a little girl with a slight handicap moves into their neighborhood; the husband fights it at first but the wife wants to be friendly, then then he relents and eventually becomes close to the kid; the other neighbors get a dog that barks all night. It is an everyday sort of tale with twists and turns and just a lot of fun. The guy (Ken) is trying to write a play in LA and make a comeback and he is struggling, then gets insomnia, then impotence, then hemroids. In the meantime he has befriended this weird sort of neighorhood stalker, who claims he is his same name - therefore, his sort of doppleganger, or mirror into his own persona...the night scenes in the local park are a riot. I happen to own the film and I love it. It is quite different. A few places are a little crude but one does not mind it because it is like real life.


I like imperfections. Pockmarks sound adorable...

I do too, makes the guy or the woman look more real and genuine. Like some actresses will not have perfectly straight teeth, actors too and yet it adds something real to them. They are like real people and not just actors. Ken has those mole/warts and they don't bother me at all.


Interior, yes. My friend gave me a metaphor using a cupcake once. Like, if the cupcake's rotten but it's coated with icing it's still gunna be bad. Yep.

That is a really good metaphor. I will have to remember that one. Well, they always say - you can't judge a book by it's cover.


Dang! All the cute ones are gay! D: Or taken, or jerks, or SOMETHING. Geez.

I used to say that all the time; actually I still do!


Haha, yes. I'm just crazy.

Me too, no fun being sane...;):lol:


I like DEVO. I like 'em a lot. All of them. I think they're all sweet looking in their own ways.

I will have to check them out. You check out my music and I will check out yours. I don't much about Devo really.


Hahaha, yeah. I listen to mom's generation's music, for the most part.

Lots your generation like The Eagles and groups like that or The Beatles, etc. I grew up with those - still love Hotel California and many of The Beatles songs, too.


I shall next time I get the chance!
Oh good, Pink Floyd are pretty cool and they are great in concert. I happen to love their awesome film "The Wall" - soundtrack is great, too.


Hm, well define "old"...DEVO, of course, Oingo Boingo, Blondie, Adam and the Ants, Zolar X, X-Ray Spex, The Ramones, The Decayes, Alice Donut, Klaus Nomi, EBN, Dick Dale and His Del-Tones, the Beach Boys...and bits and pieces of other such related stuff. And not related. Whatever. :lol:

Oh gosh I don't know - maybe the 70's music - I do recognise Blondie in that batch and Adam and he Ants, and the Beach Boys. I just bought a Boston CD - how funny you did mention your mother likes them. I like them and I like Toto and Survivor and Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones, Brian Adams, Dep Lepard, and many many more - too late to think them all up now. There was a time my son and I liked similar music but then he progressed and I stayed with what I liked...that is sort of what happens or older people go onto new genres like Celtic or New Age, stuff like that for relaxing.


That's stuff that's "old" for the most part, I think. I kinda lied about the Hives being one of the "few modern bands I listen to", I should have said something more along the lines of "one of the few modern bands that is still making music. Should have been more specific. Wait, I think Alice Donut is still makin' stuff because they re-formed...whatever. (Anybody: feel free to correct me on anything...)

Oh, you know more than me about those bands. I am in the Dark Ages when it comes to newer bands.

:lol: Ukuleles! They're silly.

I think they are so silly, too...still would be fun to play around with one....go for it.


Sometimes I feel like a reverse pedophile. >.<

You are a riot!


I'll have to look those up!

Ok, if you need any links to explore new music let me know. I am good at finding this obsure stuff.:D



>.> <.< what is this - space code? haha.....Beam me up Scotty!

You realised that we totally hijacked this Celeb thread....haha... where did everyone go anyway?

Wait, did you just add that PS guy - he is kind of cute in an off-beat way - love that expression.

[Englishrose]

Hi, Englishrose, we're from the same place! Are you a native Brummie, or just living there? I hate to appear ignorant, but who's your crush :blush:?

Janine, :

Hi Wessexgirl and Janine!
YAY! another Brummie on the team :D
I was born in birmingham and have lived there all my life (even though my dad is from Jamaica)

my crushes name is Alex Pettyfer (i dont know how i forgot to write his name down)
He is an english actor, his first film is called Stormbreaker. (i cant remember what his latest one is called)
and if you like him as much as i do look at his images on google
they make me weak to my knees :blush:

oh and soz for the late reply

[wessexgirl]

Hi Englishrose. Yay, good to see another Brummie. I didn't realise Alex Pettyfer was from Stormbreaker. That's the Alex Rider character isn't it, which I'm always promoting to my kids at school, (although I haven't watched the film :blush:)? I'm sure he's lovely, although I've had 3 of them tell me in the last few weeks that the "Cherub" series from Robert Muchamore is much better. Perhaps they'll make them into films soon. He looks quite good though :D.

Hi Wessexgirl!
Yes the film is based on the stormbreaker books, with Alex Rider as the main character. I haven't read any of the books though i have just watched the film. Its not as good as it could be to be honest though :blush:
I havent read the "Cherub" series books either,ill have to look out for them. Are they any good?:)

[Jozanny]

If I am dealing with actors as a category, I've always loved Paul Newman, why, I can't really say, but I've always been turned on by good ole boys with the devil in them, which includes the young Al Pacino of The Godfather, and the current, if aging, Kevin Spacey.

In music I've only ever been a groupie for Elton John, which might or might not be farcical, depending on one's point of view, but his 1970's output with Taupin, is, in my estimation, to die for.

[Trystan]

I think that Jaye Davidson is rather attractive.

[Shalot]

I think that Jaye Davidson is rather attractive.

Is that the guy from The Crying Game and Stargate? If it's the same guy then I agree - I thought he was nice to look at in Stargate. He's very pretty. nice to look at.

[Lily Adams]

Lily, you are so much fun to talk to; I never realised just how entertaining you could be and I do mean that in a positive way. I smile all through your posts

Hahaha, thanks. I try.




Oh yes indeed, and with a lot of snobby girls. I was part of the 'outcasts' and so were my closest friends - sort of the nerd squad. To this day those snobby woman meet in a social group; and you want to know something - about 10 of them got pregnant in HS and married their football boyfriends, most divorced, of course. I was a 'square.' that is what they called us back then They even called me 'mod' because I wore different sort of clothes - a little out of the ordinary - back then the style was skirts and knee socks and those horrible-to-iron oxford cotton shirts. I wore scarves and cool pins and things done artistically and they did not quite know what to make of me. My grad class was only about 180 kids. I was quite happy to move onto art college in the big city...that was new and different and as you said - students wanted to be there; I know I did. I love college!:)

Dude, it's hip to be square. Besides, we're through being cool, friend.

Sucks to be those girls.




You will adore it - more freedom and much more stimulating.

That's what I hear. I'm sure I will love it.




She does? Does she know groups like Yes, Moody Blues, Genisus, Rennaissance, Heart, Jethro Tull, etc? I could name a ton more. You might like Supertramp. I used to love them. You must ask her for me and say hi, too.

I know she likes Heart. She tells me she knows of those other people from her college days, but she said she'd have to listen to them. Aha, yes, Supertramp. She and my friend who likes Pink Floyd were talking about them. "Dreeeeamer". I know that song.


How funny about disco. That was my era in my late 20's. I guess I dug it then. Now my son informed me that my 6 month old grandbaby loves disco music. I was over their house and my son turned it on and Brooke went all wild, got up on her hands and knees and began swaying forward and backward - sort of like a hobby horse. It was a riot. The kid really has rhythm and she is only 6 months old, not even crawling yet. I must find a way to post this video on here. It is just so funny to see. Yes, you should paw around those old CD's and see if you discover some new (old) groups you would end up liking.

Haha, yes, she loves disco.

:lol: That's so adorable! I wanna see a video of that! Please do make one. Brooke is a lovely name, by the way.

I will. :D I need to stop being a music snob, I think. Though I must say even though I do like some jazz that my dad owns, I like my own music a bit better. Nothing will ever top DEVO in my book, I think, :lol:



Do they really work? I am really thinking of buying one, now that the Christmas sales are everywhere. The prices are really low and it would plug right into my USB port.

Oh I'm sure they do-I don't own one. Ooooo! Well, I like some scratching on vinyl. It sounds so good. And one of my favorite smells in the world is old vinyl. Sometimes I just go up to my vinyl collection and smell it like a weirdo. Whatever. Like I said, I LOVE the sounds vinyl. Delicious.




Sure thing. Just that they are young and not appealing to me personally. One likes different things in different stages of life.

Yes, yes. I like really fast music. Probably because I am young. So I see your point.




I don't listen to them much but sometimes I do for awhile. They wouldn't be my first choice, but their sound is good. How about U2 - do you like them? I like them a lot. I also always loved The Police and Sting. Now I think Sting is very sexy.

Never heard much of U2, I think once...

The only Police song I have on my iPod is, you guessed it, "Don't Stand So Close To Me". :|




I don't much about them. I think they are on his ipod listings; but not sure really...I will check.

Cool. :D




Haha - I would nervous in front of any celeb probably...I would just turn to mush. I was about a foot away from Annie Haslam from Renaissance once; I also saw Richard Chamberlain and other celebs but just briefly. I'd like an autograph of Kenneth Branagh; Lady Wentworth has one and I am totally jealous....;):lol:

I've seen a few, but I freaked when I met Ray Bradbury. I also skipped out on a DEVO concert a while back partly because I knew I would be bawling my eyes out the whole time. I need to get strong to go see them.

I love Lady Wentworth!




Which one - Ken? Lady Wentworth just started a social group on him and I found tons of cool videos on Youtube. I just have this thing for him - he is so great in that he is very smart and funny and deeply serious in roles - very well-rounded and very creative. I like creative men.

Neat-O. Oooo, creative. I like those types, too.

Ooo, sounds quirky! Doppelgangers! I love those. So interesting. IT's always fun to imagine your own doppelganger...

Nah, I don't get offended by "crude" stuff if that's what you're worried about. Nothing ever really offends me.




I do too, makes the guy or the woman look more real and genuine. Like some actresses will not have perfectly straight teeth, actors too and yet it adds something real to them. They are like real people and not just actors. Ken has those mole/warts and they don't bother me at all.

I love crooked teeth on men! So adorable.




That is a really good metaphor. I will have to remember that one. Well, they always say - you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Ain't it?




I used to say that all the time; actually I still do!

Well, it's TRUE!



Me too, no fun being sane...;):lol:

Definitely not.




I will have to check them out. You check out my music and I will check out yours. I don't much about Devo really.

Indeed, I shall, once my back gets all better and I am again able to sit a computer comfortably for longer period of time. I will check out all the stuff you mentioned. Ah, internet.

Very close to my heart, very close. I love them. They literally saved me. Most people either hate them or just know "Whip It", which is completely overrated if you ask me. (But I still enjoy the song!) Be careful on judging them, because what they did in the early 70's is completely different then their later stuff...AND BEYOND!

Here's all the other music I listen to: http://www.last.fm/user/LilyAdams

Man or Astro-man? is a close second. If it weren't for DEVO, (a sad, sad world indeed) they would totally be my favorite band. I guarantee you will hear nothing like them ever. (Well, they were inspired by Dick Dale, but aside from that!) I mean, have you ever heard of Space Nerd Punk Surf Rock?

I guess I do listen to more newer music than I thought. Whatever. It's more like I listen to a bunch of stuff nobody's ever heard of/cares about.




Lots your generation like The Eagles and groups like that or The Beatles, etc. I grew up with those - still love Hotel California and many of The Beatles songs, too.

Yes, they do. The Beatles are really popular among the kidd-Os these days.



Oh good, Pink Floyd are pretty cool and they are great in concert. I happen to love their awesome film "The Wall" - soundtrack is great, too.

Yep, The Wall! My friend (mentioned three times now, hahaha) played me that soundtrack before but it was over the phone so I couldn't hear much.




Oh gosh I don't know - maybe the 70's music - I do recognise Blondie in that batch and Adam and he Ants, and the Beach Boys. I just bought a Boston CD - how funny you did mention your mother likes them. I like them and I like Toto and Survivor and Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones, Brian Adams, Dep Lepard, and many many more - too late to think them all up now. There was a time my son and I liked similar music but then he progressed and I stayed with what I liked...that is sort of what happens or older people go onto new genres like Celtic or New Age, stuff like that for relaxing.

Yeah, The Beach Boys are kind of a guilty pleasure. They're not really surf music...

Those are all so classic. But I haven't listened to them. XD I listen to too much underground stuff.




Oh, you know more than me about those bands. I am in the Dark Ages when it comes to newer bands.

Trust me, I don't know much either. The popular ones, at least. Like I said, too much underground/kooky stuff that nobody listens to.


I think they are so silly, too...still would be fun to play around with one....go for it.

I will. I need those straight A's.



You are a riot!

Thanks? :lol:



Ok, if you need any links to explore new music let me know. I am good at finding this obsure stuff.:D

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think I will once my back gets better like I said. (I like saying "like I said", don't I? XP Sorry.)

Adorable and hilarious! And creative! I love the episodes where he has a goatee (there's a couple...) and he has beautiful blue eyes! *le sigh*

[wessexgirl]

Hi Wessexgirl!
Yes the film is based on the stormbreaker books, with Alex Rider as the main character. I haven't read any of the books though i have just watched the film. Its not as good as it could be to be honest though :blush:
I havent read the "Cherub" series books either,ill have to look out for them. Are they any good?:)

I think they are, (I haven't read them :blush:) but if you like adventure, they're in the same mode as Alex Rider, with children/teens as agents/spies. There's about 10 of them at the moment and they do get really good reviews.

[Janine]

You are good late night entertainment/escapism for me.:D


Dude, it's hip to be square. Besides, we're through being cool, friend.[
quote]

It was not so when I was young but now it is. This is why I liked certain lyrics from some songs about deviating from the norm...some of Supertramps definitely do state that and there was one group I liked a lot that applauded the square or geek but I can't think of their names now...senility, you know:(, either that or I have not woken up quite yet (I am a nite owl). I think you would have liked the off-beat group. When it comes to me I will let you know.

[QUOTE]Sucks to be those girls. Yeah, they are a bit strange to this day; I see some since I live in my hometown and they are nice to a point but then some are truly odd, like they still have one foot in adolescence. I hung with the moderate crowd, I guess they considered us squares. This is why I don't go to any more class reunions. They are not fun anymore - just the 'in' group showing off and bragging about their accomplishments or countless trips/vacations around the world. They are real snobs!


That's what I hear. I'm sure I will love it.


I know she likes Heart. She tells me she knows of those other people from her college days, but she said she'd have to listen to them. Aha, yes, Supertramp. She and my friend who likes Pink Floyd were talking about them. "Dreeeeamer". I know that song.

Cool, I had been thing of buying a Heart album recently. I saw a Greatest Hits one out and it was only $6.99 but wasn't sure it had the songs I truly love on there. I love the older album - 'Dreamboat Annie' and another older one - the name fails me presently - but I believe Baracuda is on that one and 'Mistral Wind', which is one of my favorite cuts of theirs. I just love Mistral Wind. Maybe I can find it on Youtube; if so I will send you the link on your profile page.

Haha, yes, she loves disco. Well, she is probably from that era. Actually, I was from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, then later, in my 20's there was the other big rock groups, people still like to this day....ah...then came disco. I recall that more in my early 30's. All I recall is going to bars to socialise with my friends and dance and it was a good beat to dance to. I attempted to disco dance but that was a disaster; however, I my friend and I did have a lot of fun trying to pull it off, and we still reminese about some funny times we had.

Yes, I know the song 'Dreamer' well; I have (on vinyl) about 4 of their albums - they are good. I bought 'In the Quietest Moments' recently on CD because that is really my favorite album and that may be my favorite song; no doubt that one is too tame for you though.....haha:lol:


:lol: That's so adorable! I wanna see a video of that! Please do make one. Brooke is a lovely name, by the way.

I will try to post it in your email (PM box)...see if it works that way.


I will. :D I need to stop being a music snob, I think. Though I must say even though I do like some jazz that my dad owns, I like my own music a bit better. Nothing will ever top DEVO in my book, I think, :lol:

Alllllways good to be open to alllll types of music, seriously it is...you just might surprise yourself. I did! I like everything now or at least try it, even Opera which I had never considered when I was younger (you are probably cringing now). Well, only thing I just can't tolerate (at my age) is rap and bee-bop.


Oh I'm sure they do-I don't own one. Ooooo! Well, I like some scratching on vinyl. It sounds so good. And one of my favorite smells in the world is old vinyl. Sometimes I just go up to my vinyl collection and smell it like a weirdo. Whatever. Like I said, I LOVE the sounds vinyl. Delicious.

That is what my neighbor says about his vinyl collection - he loves that little authentic scratching sound - how funny. This is really funny - one day this song came into my head from out of the blue and I was dying to hear it. I knew I had the album on vinyl but it was not in my good cabinet which holds the albums upright and keeps them pristine, so I went into a closet and found it and when I put it onto the turntable the whole record was so warped - that is what happens to vinyl if you don't store it right. I though - well give it a whirl anyway. I think it did play somewhat and then played weird. Needless to say, I ended up buying the CD to replace it.

Smell it? well never thought of doing that but hey, 'whatever turns you on' - expression from the disco years, I believe. I do love the smell of Crayola Crayons since that transports me back to my childhood and those memories - I always wanted the box with 64! Think they have even more colors added now - like sparkly ones.


Yes, yes. I like really fast music. Probably because I am young. So I see your point.

I like it only if in the mood and maybe if dancing; then slow is just no good, dancing one needs beat and wilder stuff, faster. I love to dance.


Never heard much of U2, I think once... Get out of here, really? They are from Ireland and a big name band. I do like them. Now they are more rock.


The only Police song I have on my iPod is, you guessed it, "Don't Stand So Close To Me". :|

At one time I played their music constantly. I love Sting and some of the early videos are just great. I love the black and white one with "Every Breath You Take". I will have to locate it for you online.

Cool. :D Not sure who I was referring to here.


I've seen a few, but I freaked when I met Ray Bradbury. I also skipped out on a DEVO concert a while back partly because I knew I would be bawling my eyes out the whole time. I need to get strong to go see them.

Now that is cool, you meet him, wow. Oh you are funny - you would cry at seeing Devo. Gosh you are a groupie. Do they have that profound an effect on your?


I love Lady Wentworth!

She is nice and fun, totally.


Neat-O. Oooo, creative. I like those types, too.

The group is going well, but LW is sick today, so we will probably wait for her now. Stop in and read it if you have a chance.


Oh, yes, I see your point. I'm not quite a pessimist either ("realistic optimist", I call myself) but tragedies are good.

Seems the optimists are the ones who like the tragedies in literature and in film. I guess we are somewhat serious minded and 'realistic.'


I will. I always read the book first. (Except that one time when I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. Still haven't read that book. D:)

I have the soundtrack to that film; haven't listened to it for awhile now. I have to be in the mood. I should watch the film again; my library most likely owns it. I liked that film when it came out - quite different. Didn't even know there was a book.


Ooo, sounds quirky! Doppelgangers! I love those. So interesting. IT's always fun to imagine your own doppelganger... He doppleganger guy is just a riot - played by Jared Harris - Richard Harris's son. He is an actor I greatly admire. He pulls this homeless quirky guy off so well in the film. At one moment in the film he says to Peter (Branagh) " you know you're sort of a cumugeon"...haaha - there is a good word too. I ran to the dictionary to look it up. There are so many funny lines in the film. It is quirky with a lot of heart underneath. I just love that film. I heard in Japan it is a huge hit; isn't that strange...moreso than the US. I think the title threw people off because the main theme of the story is not 'how to kill a neighbor's dog'.


Nah, I don't get offended by "crude" stuff if that's what you're worried about. Nothing ever really offends me.
Even though a little bit crude it is mostly just life like, everyday stuff and I can tell you a few of the cruder scenes will have you laughing hysterically. One is his exam at the doctors for his problems of over sized prostrate and hemroids..they don't really show much of anything but you can imagine it quite well and the lines just crack you up. Ken is so vulnerable in the scene too that you have to love him. We have all been through some doctor embarrassing moments and this one makes it so real and yet so humorous.



I love crooked teeth on men! So adorable. I don't love them but if they have a gap I actually do think it sort of sexy - weird isn't it. I just don't really think they need to have those cosmetically perfect teeth to look handsome - clean yes, but a bit off, that is fine with me...makes them seem way more human, doesn't it. Who can relate to guys that are totally flawless?


Ain't it? Yes, in American slang - ain't it - yes indeed the cupcake analogy was great!


Well, it's TRUE! It is!


Definitely not. yep! I found it to be so, at least most times.


Indeed, I shall, once my back gets all better and I am again able to sit a computer comfortably for longer period of time. I will check out all the stuff you mentioned. Ah, internet.

Hope that gets better soon; what did you do to it anyway? Well, you may not like it all but maybe some. I will try and find some old quirkier stuff you might be able to relate to or appreciate, at least.


Very close to my heart, very close. I love them. They literally saved me. Most people either hate them or just know "Whip It", which is completely overrated if you ask me. (But I still enjoy the song!) Be careful on judging them, because what they did in the early 70's is completely different then their later stuff...AND BEYOND!

Oh, I do recall "Whip it"...in fact they still always play that at weddings. ;):lol: How funny. I will look them up later on tonight. I may like some of their songs - maybe more the early ones. Isn't "Whip it" more a pop song? Glad thought to know they kept together and progressed with the times. Sigh of a good band, when they can move onto new fresh stuff.


Here's all the other music I listen to: http://www.last.fm/user/LilyAdams

Sorry too late last night and now too busy; I will definitely check that out later tonight. Thanks for the link.


Man or Astro-man? is a close second. If it weren't for DEVO, (a sad, sad world indeed) they would totally be my favorite band. I guarantee you will hear nothing like them ever. (Well, they were inspired by Dick Dale, but aside from that!) I mean, have you ever heard of Space Nerd Punk Surf Rock?

I don't Asto-man. I will look that up, too. Don't know Dick Dale either - who is he? Never heard of 'Space Nerd Punk Surf Rock' - are we still on planet earth?:lol:


I guess I do listen to more newer music than I thought. Whatever. It's more like I listen to a bunch of stuff nobody's ever heard of/cares about.

:lol:I think so; told you I was in back in the Dark Ages of music or old peoples tunes...haha


Yes, they do. The Beatles are really popular among the kidd-Os these days.

Yes, others your age have told me; even asked if I liked the groups...well, of course I did...I grew up with those groups!:D


Yep, The Wall! My friend (mentioned three times now, hahaha) played me that soundtrack before but it was over the phone so I couldn't hear much.

The movie "The Wall" is great - incredible. I love it! I also love the soundtrack album. I have it here on file and on CD's.


Yeah, The Beach Boys are kind of a guilty pleasure. They're not really surf music...

I used to like them a lot and probably still would enjoy their music. I think of them more pop too than rock. They were unique and they were always good.
Don't feel guilty silly! You have broad interests - so embrace that fact.


Those are all so classic. But I haven't listened to them. XD I listen to too much underground stuff.

I used to listen to underground stuff too but not now for a long time....just radio it was and probably tamer back then, than now.


Trust me, I don't know much either. The popular ones, at least. Like I said, too much underground/kooky stuff that nobody listens to.

Maybe. I do trust you.


I will. I need those straight A's.
Good girl!


Thanks? :lol: Welcome!


Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think I will once my back gets better like I said. (I like saying "like I said", don't I? XP Sorry.)

Welcome, welcome, welcome! I say "like I said" all the time too...haha. Don't be one bit sorry. I like it, like I said.;):lol:

Adorable and hilarious! And creative! I love the episodes where he has a goatee (there's a couple...) and he has beautiful blue eyes! *le sigh*[/FONT]

Love blue eyes! love blonds, too...and redheads - lighter complexion's I guess now I am drawn to....but blue blue eyes are just so alluring...love them!

andave ya, hi....yes, and I think we know it. too.:lol: You could call this a meeting of the minds which exist in separate poles or parallel universes - perhaps the generational gap,... and we are both trying desperately to bridge that gap...haha...do you think it is working? At least we are both rather entertaining, right? ;)


Hi Wessexgirl and Janine!
YAY! another Brummie on the team :D
I was born in birmingham and have lived there all my life (even though my dad is from Jamaica)

my crushes name is Alex Pettyfer (i dont know how i forgot to write his name down)
He is an english actor, his first film is called Stormbreaker. (i cant remember what his latest one is called)
and if you like him as much as i do look at his images on google
they make me weak to my knees :blush:

oh and soz for the late reply

Hi English Rose, what is a Brummie? haha...sorry to be so lame, but I never heard that expression before. Am I in a club I don't know about? Now Birmingham is in England, right? or it is Ireland? I forget now...today I have temporary senility. Was Ken from Birmington. I have to go check my statisics. If so, I wish I was there right now. My dream is a ticket to England, and all the islands connected. I even have a list of places I need to explore there - well, perhaps someday...right?

I don't Alex Pettyfer, but will go now and look him up. His name is interesting and I love your user name as well...surprised you could get that one - but it is very pretty. I would love to walk through an English rose garden. Isn't 'wessexgirl' a great name, too? I have just plain old Janine, which actually is my real name. Guess I signed on quickly and could not think that day, but now I figure it is easier anyway.

Quote by Jozanny

If I am dealing with actors as a category, I've always loved Paul Newman, why, I can't really say, but I've always been turned on by good ole boys with the devil in them, which includes the young Al Pacino of The Godfather, and the current, if aging, Kevin Spacey.

Jozanny, sorry you got skipped over back there. I think it was your changed color in your post that threw me and others off. I must pay better attention. Please forgive us chatterboxes.

When I was young, I thought Paul Newman was the end of the earth. I do think the man was wonderful and a great actor and it did not hurt to be so strikenly handsome, either; he aged beautifully...better than some...sorry to hear recently of his death. I love his wife too, she is a great actress...wonderful they stayed together for so long....great example for others in Hollywood. I like Pacino, and I love his film "Finding Richard" he is so funny and great in that film; but I think he was way more appealing physically to me when he was younger. That reminds me, that I am kind of ga-ga at times over Andy Garcia...he also was in the "Godfather", but I fell in-love with him in his sympathetic husband role with Meg Ryan; film about a woman alcoholic, forget the name of it now. He is just the most sensitive and loving husband anyone could wish for, in that film. I happen to see him last night in Ken Branagh's film "Dead Again" and his sweet but bad-boy persona was quite sexy and appealing, as well. He has very sparkly dark eyes, which I find very alluring...funny, because usually I go for light haired men with blue eyes, but Andy is cute, just downright cute in a devilish way.

I asked before if guys, who are no longer alive, count in this thread? I adore older movies and the actors - just to name a few - James Stewart, Gregory Peck, Lawrence Olivier, Peter O'Toole, Cary Grant - the last is just so darn sexy in the film "Notorious" - that role of his really did it for me, otherwise I had not found him that sexy before. The others I named I meant in their early roles mostly, like O'Toole in "Lawrence of Arabia" or "Goodbye, Mr. Chips". I have always loved these actors as well - Alan Bates and Richard Harris - both recently deceased. The world will miss these film greats.


In music I've only ever been a groupie for Elton John, which might or might not be farcical, depending on one's point of view, but his 1970's output with Taupin, is, in my estimation, to die for.

Oh, I love Elton but maybe not physically now since I know he is not straight but I do love him, just the same. I have always loved his music. I love a lot of singers - something very alluring about a singer, especially if he is also the songwriter. That just turns me onto them - they are so intelligent. Intelligence is a real big element for me in being attracted to someone, whether celeb or in real life.

Now Spacey I am never sure about. It depends on the film if I feel any attraction. I guess there have been a few but otherwise I can't rant and rave over him, although I know he is a very fine actor; I do appreciate him and admire him. I think this whole celeb crush thing is chemistry, don't you?

I hate to admit it Janine, but when I was twelve in Shriners Hospital I really did read all those old fan zine articles on EJ and felt myself attracted to him:blush:. I was reluctant over the orientation issue until I grew up and stopped thinking about it--but I do think, and this is my bias, that he is one of the great pop/soft rock artists of the seventies because he pushed the boundaries of the genre as few others. Captain Fantastic has no equal. By the late 80's maybe he should have stopped making new tracks.

I am writing a memoir actually, about my EJ rave, because I am not a bona fide groupie over much, except for the classic Elton John. I distrust fan psychology. I distrust fans, but that music makes me as gooey and weak in the knees as any of them.:)

I will resist getting intellectual about celebrity, but it is a motif that fascinates me, and I am doing a study of it in a fictional poet who has an academic reputation and reluctantly sleeps with a groveling student who has cerebral palsy. Been working on it for years, but my writer friends had some surprisingly nice things to say about my drafts. When I met Robert Creeley it irritated me that I was nervous and my hands were shaking, and when fans write to me in virtual worship it is ..... spooky. A writer needs fans, but I do not value the small train of them that once followed in my wake; nor did I particularly enjoy getting crucified as a journalist when I worked for AccessLife. There is something to be said for taking poster comments with a grain of salt--perhaps I am being naughty and do have a struggling thesis in the making! Sorry:p, but yes, adulation can be fun, but it is strange as well.

Didn't we all read that stuff when we were younger? And cut out pictures, pasted them on walls and look at our idols each day. No big deal really, I do understand; you should not be ashamed to admit it. As my mother always said "I am old but I can still look" haha. I think it was healthy actually - everyone needs an outlet and that provided something to think about, asside from the hum drum of life and all the pressures of growing up; it still might do so today...just how different are we now...we still look to actors and singers for something which we don't get in our daily existence - we need some escapism in these stressful times. Probably too your 'obsession' with Elton was not that at all, but a deeper appreciation of the performer and I think he has a super sweet way, very human. I know that I still feel this way about the performers or actors I admire and love; when I say 'love' it is just a expression; but truly I do derrive great pleasure from watching their fine performances or hearing a great voice sing or even recite, so it is a kind of love for what they do. What is wrong with that? I think the fact these performer have given us so much, they do deserve some adulation and especially appreciation.

That sounds interesting, Jozanny. I don't distrust fan psychology really. I guess there have been sick people who became stalkers but that is a rarity. I think the others just want to show they appreciate the actor/singer/celebrity and it is all mostly in fun. We all know that realistically, they would not look our way...but aren't we all dreamers? I am 58 and still can dream and imagine. So go goofy and weak in the knees and why not, enjoy it!

Yes, this is just a silly fun thread, and quite harmless. Mostly I came on to see if I could exchange some information with others and get some suggestions on productions and such. I love actors and movies and plays, and music, too. It is good to connect with others and find out more about celebrities, that particularly attract ones attention. I did so on another site and found some rare footage of things I had not known about. I am always on a quest for more information, if something or something attracts my interests me.

Well, perhaps that could be a thesis and it might prove very interesting. You might find out why I am totally obsessed with D.H.Lawrence and he has been dead now many years. He seems alive to me, strange isn't it? But a marvelous and great thought to think an author does live on in his words and his work.

Hi Janine. A Brummie is a native of Birmingham, (from Brummagem of medieval times I think), in the Midlands, in England, not Ireland :D. We often get the mickey taken out of our accent. See the link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brummie

But I always say, I come from 20 miles down the road to Stratford, so Shakey may have spoken in a similar dialect :lol:! Ken is not from Brum, I wish, I may have run into him sometime, although our population is in the millions, :lol: (don't know how many millions, a couple I think).

Check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_i5euuDyMs&feature=related

and this one for what we sound like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSgqE47lAfk&feature=related

Julie Walters is a Brummie, although her birthplace is not now part of Birmingham, but it was, and that's how we sound. People mistake us for the neighbouring Black Country, which has a stronger accent.

I hope that makes it clearer for you what a Brummie is :D.

Thanks for listing these, I love U2 - definitely, I will check them out later - love videos; darn, I don't have the time right now. Lily must check them out, too. I also can't believe she never heard of them; they have been popular so long. Why of course you would know them, being from your country. My son is half Irish and he loves them; sure he can relate through his blood.

wessexgirl, you know later that night (computer was shut down) I thought of how stupid I sounded making that remark. Now I know what I was thinking of...a D.H. Lawrence story; he also was from the Midlands; he had the connection to Birmingham I am sure; duh, I knew that was in England; I tend to get Ken and DHL mixed up, because Ken played him in several productions...hehe... now I even imagine that Lawrence looked just like Ken....well, sometimes that is.;). Ok, what is a 'mickey'? Is that a sort of twang to the accent?



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brummie

Great, I will check this out later on. A little busy in my house presently. Someone coming to repair the plumbing.:sick:

How cool! I wish I could say the same. I live 20 mins from Philadelphia and I don't think Shakespeare was born yet; there may be productions there but nothing like the RSC or being in Stratford. I am soooo jealous; but of course I may hate your weather - too damp and cold for me in the winter! No, Ken was from Belfast, wasn't he? Then the family moved to Reading in England due to the 'troubles' there? I read his book, you would think I would know this by now. I just got my 'b's' mixed up. ;)

Yes, it certainly does and you know what - I love these little tid-bits of information about England or any of the islands, I need to see the Irish coast now that I watched "Ryan's Daughter". My roots are in Scotland so I must visit there, as well. I just have to make it over across the ocean someday, somehow. I have to see these places with my own eyes. I will start saving up now...:D:lol:

Thanks so much for posting all this and keeping me informed.

taking the mickey or taking the Mick is slang for taking the piss out of someone, joking, teasing, slagging. :)

Thanks for explaining that to me, Niamh. Oh, I see it's Irish slang; I like it. I was a little off in my interpretation.;)

I see you changed you avatar for the season. I love that one. Didn't you have that last Holiday season? I loved it then, it is very pretty.

[Lily Adams]

You are good late night entertainment/escapism for me.

:D I enjoy talking to you, too.


It was not so when I was young but now it is. This is why I liked certain lyrics from some songs about deviating from the norm...some of Supertramps definitely do state that and there was one group I liked a lot that applauded the square or geek but I can't think of their names now...senility, you know, either that or I have not woken up quite yet (I am a nite owl). I think you would have liked the off-beat group. When it comes to me I will let you know.

Kinda. Being different has indeed become something "cool". Whatever. I do that, too. Why do ya think I listen to Dev-O? "We're through being cool."



Yeah, they are a bit strange to this day; I see some since I live in my hometown and they are nice to a point but then some are truly odd, like they still have one foot in adolescence. I hung with the moderate crowd, I guess they considered us squares. This is why I don't go to any more class reunions. They are not fun anymore - just the 'in' group showing off and bragging about their accomplishments or countless trips/vacations around the world. They are real snobs!

That sucks that they're still like that. Quite a shame.


Cool, I had been thing of buying a Heart album recently. I saw a Greatest Hits one out and it was only $6.99 but wasn't sure it had the songs I truly love on there. I love the older album - 'Dreamboat Annie' and another older one - the name fails me presently - but I believe Baracuda is on that one and 'Mistral Wind', which is one of my favorite cuts of theirs. I just love Mistral Wind. Maybe I can find it on Youtube; if so I will send you the link on your profile page.

Please! :D


Well, she is probably from that era. Actually, I was from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, then later, in my 20's there was the other big rock groups, people still like to this day....ah...then came disco. I recall that more in my early 30's. All I recall is going to bars to socialise with my friends and dance and it was a good beat to dance to. I attempted to disco dance but that was a disaster; however, I my friend and I did have a lot of fun trying to pull it off, and we still reminese about some funny times we had.

She is. She'd like to go...disco-ing. :lol:


Yes, I know the song 'Dreamer' well; I have (on vinyl) about 4 of their albums - they are good. I bought 'In the Quietest Moments' recently on CD because that is really my favorite album and that may be my favorite song; no doubt that one is too tame for you though.....haha

Nah, I listen to "tame" songs when I feel like it-just on the whole I like 'em FAST AND LOUD! Typical teenager. :rolleyes:


I will try to post it in your email (PM box)...see if it works that way.

:D


Alllllways good to be open to alllll types of music, seriously it is...you just might surprise yourself. I did! I like everything now or at least try it, even Opera which I had never considered when I was younger (you are probably cringing now). Well, only thing I just can't tolerate (at my age) is rap and bee-bop.

Yes, I know. I am realizing that.

Cringing at what? Opera? I love opera!

Agreed. I don't think I'll ever like rap or country. I know, really typical, but...:sick:


That is what my neighbor says about his vinyl collection - he loves that little authentic scratching sound - how funny. This is really funny - one day this song came into my head from out of the blue and I was dying to hear it. I knew I had the album on vinyl but it was not in my good cabinet which holds the albums upright and keeps them pristine, so I went into a closet and found it and when I put it onto the turntable the whole record was so warped - that is what happens to vinyl if you don't store it right. I though - well give it a whirl anyway. I think it did play somewhat and then played weird. Needless to say, I ended up buying the CD to replace it.

Well, it's the best!

Yep! I like a bit weather-beaten, though. Adds charm. I don't mind scratching, but skipping is another deal-pretty annoying! Good think I gots an iPod and such.


Smell it? well never thought of doing that but hey, 'whatever turns you on' - expression from the disco years, I believe. I do love the smell of Crayola Crayons since that transports me back to my childhood and those memories - I always wanted the box with 64! Think they have even more colors added now - like sparkly ones.

:lol: Yep! It's more like smelling the old rotted paper and cardboard, but whatever.

You can get those anywhere! And they are quite pretty. Go get some at Target or somethin'!


I like it only if in the mood and maybe if dancing; then slow is just no good, dancing one needs beat and wilder stuff, faster. I love to dance.

Me too. :)



Get out of here, really? They are from Ireland and a big name band. I do like them. Now they are more rock.


Well, yeah, I've heard of them, and I know they're from Ireland. But never sat down to listen to them.


At one time I played their music constantly. I love Sting and some of the early videos are just great. I love the black and white one with "Every Breath You Take". I will have to locate it for you online.

Do so! :)


Not sure who I was referring to here.

Wasn't it Mono?


Now that is cool, you meet him, wow. Oh you are funny - you would cry at seeing Devo. Gosh you are a groupie. Do they have that profound an effect on your?

Haha, yes, it was very intense.

You have no idea.



She is nice and fun, totally.

Uh huh! I haven't talked to her much in a while, though. :(



The group is going well, but LW is sick today, so we will probably wait for her now. Stop in and read it if you have a chance.

Yes, I shall!


Seems the optimists are the ones who like the tragedies in literature and in film. I guess we are somewhat serious minded and 'realistic.'

Because we are awesome like that.


I have the soundtrack to that film; haven't listened to it for awhile now. I have to be in the mood. I should watch the film again; my library most likely owns it. I liked that film when it came out - quite different. Didn't even know there was a book.

I always see that soundtrack for sale on vinyl at all our antique shops. I want it, actually.

Yep! Arthur C. Clarke!


He doppleganger guy is just a riot - played by Jared Harris - Richard Harris's son. He is an actor I greatly admire. He pulls this homeless quirky guy off so well in the film. At one moment in the film he says to Peter (Branagh) " you know you're sort of a cumugeon"...haaha - there is a good word too. I ran to the dictionary to look it up. There are so many funny lines in the film. It is quirky with a lot of heart underneath. I just love that film. I heard in Japan it is a huge hit; isn't that strange...moreso than the US. I think the title threw people off because the main theme of the story is not 'how to kill a neighbor's dog'.

Curmudgeon. :lol:


Even though a little bit crude it is mostly just life like, everyday stuff and I can tell you a few of the cruder scenes will have you laughing hysterically. One is his exam at the doctors for his problems of over sized prostrate and hemroids..they don't really show much of anything but you can imagine it quite well and the lines just crack you up. Ken is so vulnerable in the scene too that you have to love him. We have all been through some doctor embarrassing moments and this one makes it so real and yet so humorous.

Well, it's true.

Ouch! :lol:


I don't love them but if they have a gap I actually do think it sort of sexy - weird isn't it. I just don't really think they need to have those cosmetically perfect teeth to look handsome - clean yes, but a bit off, that is fine with me...makes them seem way more human, doesn't it. Who can relate to guys that are totally flawless?

Adorararararararable.


Hope that gets better soon; what did you do to it anyway? Well, you may not like it all but maybe some. I will try and find some old quirkier stuff you might be able to relate to or appreciate, at least.

I'm just really structurally weak and I don't exercise and I sit at a computer a lot cuz I'm a loser. :( I shouldn't be here now, actually. Ugh.

Thanks.

Oh, I do recall "Whip it"...in fact they still always play that at weddings. How funny. I will look them up later on tonight. I may like some of their songs - maybe more the early ones. Isn't "Whip it" more a pop song? Glad thought to know they kept together and progressed with the times. Sigh of a good band, when they can move onto new fresh stuff.

Yep.

I don't think DEVO ever intended to be a pop group, but that's what seemed to have happened with "Whip It". The album they made after that one though, was a response to all the "fans" they got who really didn't "get it". They're free-thinkers.

Oh I know! I can't wait until they release their new stuff.


Sorry too late last night and now too busy; I will definitely check that out later tonight. Thanks for the link.

It's nothing big.


I don't Asto-man. I will look that up, too. Don't know Dick Dale either - who is he? Never heard of 'Space Nerd Punk Surf Rock' - are we still on planet earth?

I told you! That's how I classify them. :lol: Try this for them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihTAMUwCqQY and try this for Dev-O: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3MxuDk7wqo



I think so; told you I was in back in the Dark Ages of music or old peoples tunes...haha

Nothing wrong with that.



Yes, others your age have told me; even asked if I liked the groups...well, of course I did...I grew up with those groups!

They're silly. The Beatles are pretty popular. Not many people would say no to them. I don't much care for them, but I do appreciate their music.


The movie "The Wall" is great - incredible. I love it! I also love the soundtrack album. I have it here on file and on CD's.

Apparently it's about "walling" yourself away from others?


I used to like them a lot and probably still would enjoy their music. I think of them more pop too than rock. They were unique and they were always good.
Don't feel guilty silly! You have broad interests - so embrace that fact.

Hahaha, thanks. They're just so pop-y...and such. :lol: I don't usually go for that. But I listened to them when I was nine and I live in Southern California so I really can't help it.


I used to listen to underground stuff too but not now for a long time....just radio it was and probably tamer back then, than now.


Underground is good.


Welcome, welcome, welcome! I say "like I said" all the time too...haha. Don't be one bit sorry. I like it, like I said.


:D


I feel mutated....

Not necessarily beautiful, but mutated!


Is that Meh or Men!????zzzbbb^&%#@!

It's "meh". XD



Thanks for these links. Later will check them all out - just wait for me to get back to you. I will give them all a whirl.

I love that man.


Love blue eyes! love blonds, too...and redheads - lighter complexion's I guess now I am drawn to....but blue blue eyes are just so alluring...love them!

Aren't they lovely?


:lol:, you guys ^ are hilarious! :)

:alien:

Contrary to popular belief, I never use that smiley. :lol:


Janine and Lily you are both nuts i'm telling ya! :lol:

And Lily!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe you have never heard U2! They have been around since the 80's and are still pumping out tunes. Possibly the biggest band on the planet. :)

Love them! no crush though. total mingers! :p

I'm a squirrel!

Well, I have! Just never listened to them.


Niamh, haha:lol: aren't we though - totally wack jobs! Me at my age fawning over celebrities. :lol: I am not dead yet, so at least I can dream. Lily provides some good comic relief also and takes me to a spacey realm - why not, it is so much fun!

Thanks for listing these, I love U2 - definitely, I will check them out later - love videos; darn, I don't have the time right now. Lily must check them out, too. I also can't believe she never heard of them; they have been popular so long. Why of course you would know them, being from your country. My son is half Irish and he loves them; sure he can relate through his blood.

Age's got nothin' to do with anything. One of my strong beliefs.

Glad to be of assistance in this Wiggly World.

You guys are sillies. I've heard of them! :lol:

[Janine]

[FONT="Courier New"]
:D I enjoy talking to you, too.

Me too, now who would have guessed it?....


Kinda. Being different has indeed become something "cool". Whatever. I do that, too. Why do ya think I listen to Dev-O? "We're through being cool."

Yes, suddenly being different came into style. I sort of missed the boat on that one. I am pretty eccentric now thought - making up for my lost youthful years of having to try and fit in. I always seemed to fall through the cracks though, know what I mean?


That sucks that they're still like that. Quite a shame.
Some are nice but there is just some kind of a limit as to how friendly you really would want to be with them. They are still kind of clichish and I don't really like that sort of thing. I am not really one to have a crowd of friends, never hung in a crowd. I had individual friends but they seem the opposite and have groups of friends, even to this day. They can have their little snobby club; I could care less.


Please! :D I will but I am really tired now. Late here so I am not fun tonight...;):lol: with one eye open....;););)


She is. She'd like to go...disco-ing. :lol:
Tell her I am game! ahaha - I danced up a storm at my son's wedding - that was loads of fun. I think we did one disco song just for fun.


Nah, I listen to "tame" songs when I feel like it-just on the whole I like 'em FAST AND LOUD! Typical teenager. :rolleyes:

You listen to tame? get out! I bet your bedroom is always vibrating or rocking loudly. I know - I lived with a teenager, remember...I did not cry when he left home and got his own appartment - finally I could get some sleep without my floorboards banging around from the beat downstairs.



:D:lol:


Yes, I know. I am realizing that. Good to hear this, means you are open to new things, new experiences. That will make you well-rounded and open-minded.


Cringing at what? Opera? I love opera! Get out - who would have guessed it. I just ordered the new Magic Flute directed by Kenneth Branagh - it is Mozart's opera set to a new libretto and all in English. It is suppose to be quite good. I have really been getting into opera this year. I love my Alagna (ever hear of him) version on DVD of Romeo and Juliet - oh he is to die for - now he has dreamy blue or green eyes....just gorgeous and he is so sweet - his voice is like an angels. I also love my "Madame Butterfly" DVD of the opera. I like the drama of opera a lot.


Agreed. I don't think I'll ever like rap or country. I know, really typical, but...:sick: True country I can't get into; I do like some folk but that was from my generation so it would follow I still appreciate it. I absolutely hate rap - I can't understand a word they are saying and besides I think it is so harsh and crude and obnoxious. I have no love for the music - if one can even call it that.


Well, it's the best! It may be...we have been having this discussion on vinyl in the Music social group this week; you should peek in and take a look at what has been said.


Yep! I like a bit weather-beaten, though. Adds charm. I don't mind scratching, but skipping is another deal-pretty annoying! Good think I gots an iPod and such. My neighbor says the same thing - says it gives it that authentic quality....I grew up with some scratchy sound so it does not bother me very much; although it has been awhile since I once again listened to vinyl. You make me want to now, for old time's sake.


:lol: Yep! It's more like smelling the old rotted paper and cardboard, but whatever.

:D:lol:


You can get those anywhere! And they are quite pretty. Go get some at Target or somethin'!

:D I bought a collector tin with 64 a number of years back and have it stored away. I hope they are still good - do crayons go bad? I was going to pass it onto my grand-daughter.


Me too. :) Yep, dancing and beat - even my grand-daughter knows that and she is just 6 months old.


Well, yeah, I've heard of them, and I know they're from Ireland. But never sat down to listen to them.

Yes, Niamh would know about them; they are her native band. I like them a lot. She gave us some good videos to watch. I will get to those and to yours tomorrow....promise....I got side-tracked today and forgot...sorry...


Do so! :) Ok I will...I love videos if they are well done.


Wasn't it Mono? I still don't know. I forgot to look - leave it til tomorrow...;) one eyed right now...they both are drooping...



Haha, yes, it was very intense. When one is a teenager everything is intense.


You have no idea. Maybe they are from outer space and casting a spell on you.:lol:


Uh huh! I haven't talked to her much in a while, though. :(
She is very nice but it snows too much where she lives and now it is starting again - it is very hard on her - all that heavy shoveling. I don't envy her that.


Yes, I shall! Oh goody.


Because we are awesome like that. Yepper! I agree...


I always see that soundtrack for sale on vinyl at all our antique shops. I want it, actually. I used to work at an antique store and sell there as well. It was great fun. It is a good soundtrack - Strauss I think -walzes....and lot of spacey sounds too - pretty awesome...


Yep! Arthur C. Clarke! wow, didn't even know that...good another useless 'tidbit' to float around in my spacey brain - lot of black holes up there, too!


Curmudgeon. :lol: Funny sort of word isn't it? Well he starts out being totally disgruntled with the world and he goes through a transformation by meeting up with this cute little girl who is disabled - sweet story...and touching, too...


Well, it's true.
Ouch! :lol:.
Exactly - it is life and truthful...also he goes to the gynocologist with his wife - that is funny, too - seeing it from a husband's perspective.



Adorararararararable. Yeah, tonight I was watching some videos on Ewan McGregor and he is a good example - he has sort of unique teeth if you really observe them and it actually does add to his appeal - it makes his mouth look cute when he smiles. His teeth look shorter in the front that on the sides - it looks natural though and not like a hollywood beauty. I happen to think Ewan is a doll but of course he does sometime remind me of my son when he shows his devilish side so I can't drool over him; he is a bit young for me but still I do find him totally adorable! He seems smart and nice to and is a faithful husband and loves his wife very much so. I really admire that about him and he adores his little girls. He is a good daddy. He is also a pretty darn good actor.


I'm just really structurally weak and I don't exercise and I sit at a computer a lot cuz I'm a loser. :( I shouldn't be here now, actually. Ugh.

That is a shame - you are too young for these problems. You should try and walk or strengthen yourself and your muscles. Sitting at computers for long hours is a very bad thing. I feel the effect of it but addicted I am and I must try to limit or I will be sick.


Thanks. Welcome!


Oh, I do recall "Whip it"...in fact they still always play that at weddings. How funny. I will look them up later on tonight. I may like some of their songs - maybe more the early ones. Isn't "Whip it" more a pop song? Glad thought to know they kept together and progressed with the times. Sigh of a good band, when they can move onto new fresh stuff.

Good that they keep progressing. I will listen to them tomorrow. I did see part of the Astro man video - that was rather funny - quite entertaining - you sure you are not an alien presense here among us?


Yep. Ok...


I don't think DEVO ever intended to be a pop group, but that's what seemed to have happened with "Whip It". The album they made after that one though, was a response to all the "fans" they got who really didn't "get it". They're free-thinkers.

Well, the masses went for that song because it is catchy. Yes, probably they did not see themselves as pop artists at all.


Oh I know! I can't wait until they release their new stuff.

That will be cool...


It's nothing big. Oh, ok...


I told you! That's how I classify them. :lol: Try this for them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihTAMUwCqQY and try this for Dev-O: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3MxuDk7wqo

Really funny and crazy - quite entertaining I think...does you mother like this stuff, too....:lol:


Nothing wrong with that. True...


They're silly. The Beatles are pretty popular. Not many people would say no to them. I don't much care for them, but I do appreciate their music.

Yes, they are silly sometimes, maybe most times but that is just fun light music....summer music..beach stuff...meaning the Beach Boys.

Now the Beatles I like better now maybe than back then, not sure though really - I just may forget. I was crazy on them when they first came to light. I think their middle years they lost me for awhile.Now I have a remastered CD and do enjoy them again - they were once played too often and then you got tired of them but it is fun to revive some music after time goes by. I have to be in the mood to listen to them.



Apparently it's about "walling" yourself away from others?That is exactly it - isolation of the individual....it is a well made film - very creative and sort of mesmerizing....you just go with it and let it happen...it is pretty awesome I think.


Hahaha, thanks. They're just so pop-y...and such. :lol: I don't usually go for that. But I listened to them when I was nine and I live in Southern California so I really can't help it.

Yep, beach music like I said - and very pop-y!


Underground is good. I used to listen to that but don't know what it would be like now. It was good.


:D:D


Not necessarily beautiful, but mutated!Get out of here - you always looked really pretty and cute to me when you posted those photos, even with the big oversized dark glasses - those were very funky and fun!


It's "meh". XD Janine, don't ask!....:lol:



I love that man. I realise that! :lol:


Aren't they lovely? Yes, they are.


:alien:Mutant Ninja Turtles - do you remember those - why they just came to me I will never know....


Contrary to popular belief, I never use that smiley. :lol: Haha - you don't need to.....you are alien enough without it...:lol:


I'm a squirrel! Definitely, we call it 'a bit squirrely' here! ;):lol:


Well, I have! Just never listened to them. Cool, tres cool! See I am good at teenage lingo.


Age's got nothin' to do with anything. One of my strong beliefs. I know - I still act like a teenager, don't you think? :lol:


Glad to be of assistance in this Wiggly World. You are my tour guide to undiscovered gallaxies. When does the ship leave?


You guys are sillies. I've heard of them! :lol Heart who. Now I am lost! Going to bed, blindly finding my way now to the bedroom...been nice talking to you, but my eyes are shutting for the night....nightly night..... beam me up Scotty.......

[Niamh]

Thanks for explaining that to me, Niamh. Oh, I see it's Irish slang; I like it. I was a little off in my interpretation.;)

I see you changed you avatar for the season. I love that one. Didn't you have that last Holiday season? I loved it then, it is very pretty.

It was my holiday avy from last year. I liked it so much i had to have it again this year! :D


:lol:@ Lily! I never said hadnt heard of U2. said never heard as in listened. :p thats why i posted all the links. :)

[Janine]

It was my holiday avy from last year. I liked it so much i had to have it again this year! :D

Good choice! I like that one too. I recall seeing it larger - think you posted it or send it to me; I kept in offline in my artist files - think under 'fantasy'...it is so pretty - love the snow fairy - that is what she is, right? I love the contrast of the burgundy to the white snow...lovely image, Niamh.


:lol:@ Lily! I never said hadnt heard of U2. said never heard as in listened. :p thats why i posted all the links. :)

Niamh, can you explain this statement - I don't get it? I need to go and view all those videos - gosh, there just is not enough time in the day for all my computer stuff. I am more addicted than ever.:(

[Niamh]

Good choice! I like that one too. I recall seeing it larger - think you posted it or send it to me; I kept in offline in my artist files - think under 'fantasy'...it is so pretty - love the snow fairy - that is what she is, right? I love the contrast of the burgundy to the white snow...lovely image, Niamh.

now that you mention it, i think i did sent it to you!


Niamh, can you explain this statement - I don't get it? I need to go and view all those videos - gosh, there just is not enough time in the day for all my computer stuff. I am more addicted than ever.:(

I mean, i wasnt saying i cant believe you havent heard of U2. I was saying i cant believe you havent heard their songs....get me? :p

[Janine]

now that you mention it, i think i did sent it to you!

I mean, i wasnt saying i cant believe you havent heard of U2. I was saying i cant believe you havent heard their songs....get me? :p

Yes, you did - I recall it, too...thanks, I keep huge files of interesting artwork.

Yeah, Lily right? I've heard many of their songs; in fact, I have many right here on my itunes file and other albums burned to disc. Hummm....might go now and listen to one of the albums - been awhile.

[Niamh]

yeah to lily! :lol:

[Janine]

yeah to lily! :lol:

Wow, you are quick! haha.... were you entertained again last night with our banter, back and forth?...I probably wrote so much nonsense - it was super late and I could hardly keep my eyes open.:lol:

[Niamh]

I just cant get over how long your posts are! I lose track...

[Janine]

I just cant get over how long your posts are! I lose track...

:lol: me, too! :lol:

[Lily Adams]

Yes, suddenly being different came into style. I sort of missed the boat on that one. I am pretty eccentric now thought - making up for my lost youthful years of having to try and fit in. I always seemed to fall through the cracks though, know what I mean?

I wouldn't say eccentricity is "cool", but there some types of "different" that are considered "cool". Ya diggin' all my quote fingers here? *quote fingers*

Be yourself, and trust yourself.



Some are nice but there is just some kind of a limit as to how friendly you really would want to be with them. They are still kind of clichish and I don't really like that sort of thing. I am not really one to have a crowd of friends, never hung in a crowd. I had individual friends but they seem the opposite and have groups of friends, even to this day. They can have their little snobby club; I could care less.

That's good. The caring less part I mean. Of course you know this.


I will but I am really tired now. Late here so I am not fun tonight...;):lol: with one eye open....;););)

Nah. You're good. :thumbs_up



Tell her I am game! ahaha - I danced up a storm at my son's wedding - that was loads of fun. I think we did one disco song just for fun.

:lol: Okay.



You listen to tame? get out! I bet your bedroom is always vibrating or rocking loudly. I know - I lived with a teenager, remember...I did not cry when he left home and got his own appartment - finally I could get some sleep without my floorboards banging around from the beat downstairs.

When I feel like it.

My parents get so annoyed at me! :lol: My dad yelled at me to turn down some music when we were in the car one time, and said it was really obnoxious. Then one time I was blasting music and my dad came in and told me he couldn't hear me say "come in" when he knocked. Both times I was listening to Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA...gotta turn it up at Bob 1's guitar solos. Louuuuuudddd! Yeah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKtZwWLMp8&feature=related *dances wildly* Mistah Kamikaze! Mistah DNA! Oh, yes. Oh, yes. It's beautiful. *sniff and a tear*



:lol:

Good to hear this, means you are open to new things, new experiences. That will make you well-rounded and open-minded.

Yes, I like being that. But DEVO just ruined me, ruined me, I tell ya. I am trying, though...


Get out - who would have guessed it. I just ordered the new Magic Flute directed by Kenneth Branagh - it is Mozart's opera set to a new libretto and all in English. It is suppose to be quite good. I have really been getting into opera this year. I love my Alagna (ever hear of him) version on DVD of Romeo and Juliet - oh he is to die for - now he has dreamy blue or green eyes....just gorgeous and he is so sweet - his voice is like an angels. I also love my "Madame Butterfly" DVD of the opera. I like the drama of opera a lot.

Oh yes! I love classical music! Baroque's my favorite, probably because it's fast most of the time. :p I have The Magic Flute on CD. My version's in German. I actually saw that opera live down at the Hollywood Bowl. Very good.

That Alagna guy is quite attractive!

Guess what came up on shuffle just now! Act I Scene XIV No. 7 of the Magic Flute!



True country I can't get into; I do like some folk but that was from my generation so it would follow I still appreciate it. I absolutely hate rap - I can't understand a word they are saying and besides I think it is so harsh and crude and obnoxious. I have no love for the music - if one can even call it that.

Yes, that would make sense, like Bob Dylan and such.

Indeed, I agree.


It may be...we have been having this discussion on vinyl in the Music social group this week; you should peek in and take a look at what has been said.

Are they now? Hmmmm.



My neighbor says the same thing - says it gives it that authentic quality....I grew up with some scratchy sound so it does not bother me very much; although it has been awhile since I once again listened to vinyl. You make me want to now, for old time's sake.

Do it!



:D I bought a collector tin with 64 a number of years back and have it stored away. I hope they are still good - do crayons go bad? I was going to pass it onto my grand-daughter.

I have no idea. I think we have one of those, too, for some reason. Give it to her and then buy yourself one.


Yep, dancing and beat - even my grand-daughter knows that and she is just 6 months old.

That is so adorable!



Yes, Niamh would know about them; they are her native band. I like them a lot. She gave us some good videos to watch. I will get to those and to yours tomorrow....promise....I got side-tracked today and forgot...sorry...

She would, and I will look this all up once my back is better. Ugh. I am so sorry. :(

Don't worry about it! You don't even have to watch it if you don't want to! XD


Ok I will...I love videos if they are well done.

Me too. I am quite a visual person.


I still don't know. I forgot to look - leave it til tomorrow...;) one eyed right now...they both are drooping...

Go to sleep! :lol:



When one is a teenager everything is intense.

I noticed.



Maybe they are from outer space and casting a spell on you.:lol:

Probably. DEVO is my Personal Jesus, so to speak.



She is very nice but it snows too much where she lives and now it is starting again - it is very hard on her - all that heavy shoveling. I don't envy her that.

Yes, she told me about that. :( I'm sure it's quite hard. The poor thing!


I used to work at an antique store and sell there as well. It was great fun. It is a good soundtrack - Strauss I think -walzes....and lot of spacey sounds too - pretty awesome...

Luckily we have a gadillion of them in my town, as well as elebenty gadillion records stores in my town. (Okay, four.) Store that specialize/contain at least some vinyl.


wow, didn't even know that...good another useless 'tidbit' to float around in my spacey brain - lot of black holes up there, too!

:lol: Don't say that!


Funny sort of word isn't it? Well he starts out being totally disgruntled with the world and he goes through a transformation by meeting up with this cute little girl who is disabled - sweet story...and touching, too...

Aw!



Exactly - it is life and truthful...also he goes to the gynocologist with his wife - that is funny, too - seeing it from a husband's perspective.

:lol: Awhahahaha.



Yeah, tonight I was watching some videos on Ewan McGregor and he is a good example - he has sort of unique teeth if you really observe them and it actually does add to his appeal - it makes his mouth look cute when he smiles. His teeth look shorter in the front that on the sides - it looks natural though and not like a hollywood beauty.

He seems smart and nice to and is a faithful husband and loves his wife very much so. I really admire that about him and he adores his little girls. He is a good daddy. He is also a pretty darn good actor.


Aw, he's pretty cute, too. I saw you mentioned him a couple posts back. You've seen Big Fish, yeah? "Sandra Templeton, I WILL marry you!"


That is a shame - you are too young for these problems. You should try and walk or strengthen yourself and your muscles. Sitting at computers for long hours is a very bad thing. I feel the effect of it but addicted I am and I must try to limit or I will be sick.

Yes, I know, and now I can't sit for very long at all at them. I'm quite sad and frustrated.

Good that they keep progressing. I will listen to them tomorrow. I did see part of the Astro man video - that was rather funny - quite entertaining - you sure you are not an alien presense here among us?

They're neat-O, huh?

Who said only men were from Mars?



Well, the masses went for that song because it is catchy. Yes, probably they did not see themselves as pop artists at all.

Exactly. Most people misinterpret that song. Though I must say you can't really guess what it's about, you have to research it if you really want to know.



That will be cool...


They're coming out with an EP next Tuesday. I pre-ordered my copy a while ago. :D


Really funny and crazy - quite entertaining I think...does you mother like this stuff, too....:lol:

To some extent. My dad hates my music, though. :lol: "TURN THAT *beep* DOWN!"


Yes, they are silly sometimes, maybe most times but that is just fun light music....summer music..beach stuff...meaning the Beach Boys.

Indeed. I prefer deeper music, though.


Now the Beatles I like better now maybe than back then, not sure though really - I just may forget. I was crazy on them when they first came to light. I think their middle years they lost me for awhile.Now I have a remastered CD and do enjoy them again - they were once played too often and then you got tired of them but it is fun to revive some music after time goes by. I have to be in the mood to listen to them.

I liked them when I was nine...Across the Universe really made me angry. I'm sorry. I didn't even finish that movie. It was just awful. I know that really doesn't have much to do with them, though.



That is exactly it - isolation of the individual....it is a well made film - very creative and sort of mesmerizing....you just go with it and let it happen...it is pretty awesome I think.

That does sound interesting. I'm sure my friend has it. I'll borrow it from him.

I used to listen to that but don't know what it would be like now. It was good.

Well I guess I listen to a lot of 80's/90's underground music. Some stuff from now...


Get out of here - you always looked really pretty and cute to me when you posted those photos, even with the big oversized dark glasses - those were very funky and fun!

Haha, thanks. I love those glasses...need to get a new pair seeing as they are wearing out real bad.


Janine, don't ask!....:lol:

And I won't answer! :p


I realise that! :lol:

:redface:


Mutant Ninja Turtles - do you remember those - why they just came to me I will never know....

:lol: That's a boy's show! And a bit before my time, I think. And my mother never permitted me to watch "violent" TV shows anyways. XD


Haha - you don't need to.....you are alien enough without it...:lol:

Thanks. :lol:



Cool, tres cool! See I am good at teenage lingo.

I am too!Are you hip to the jive? Do ya dig what I'm saying with the wiggity wack low down soul sistah? Tiiiiiight. POPPYCOCK!


I know - I still act like a teenager, don't you think? :lol:

That's cool, I act like an older person who acts like a teenager. :D


You are my tour guide to undiscovered gallaxies. When does the ship leave?

When the clock strikes zero!


Heart who. Now I am lost! Going to bed, blindly finding my way now to the bedroom...been nice talking to you, but my eyes are shutting for the night....nightly night..... beam me up Scotty.......

U2! XD Good night!



:lol:@ Lily! I never said hadnt heard of U2. said never heard as in listened. :p thats why i posted all the links. :)

Oh! Okay, I will look, like I said, when I am all better...which means I should stop sneaking on like this. :sick:

[Janine]

Oh gosh, I should be in bed too...I have to go somewhere tomorrow; hate getting up early. Since your replies aren't too long, I will answer them quickly.


I wouldn't say eccentricity is "cool", but there some types of "different" that are considered "cool". Ya diggin' all my quote fingers here? *quote fingers*

Oh!.... if you saw my room, you would know I was eccentric. I collect everything and anything and it is getting to the point where I can't fit anymore in. I am tripping over books and DVDs, CD's - can we ever have enough??? I guess that is cool though - at least my brain gets 'exercise';).


Be yourself, and trust yourself. I always do. You do so it also!


That's good. The caring less part I mean. Of course you know this.

Yeah, I could care less at this time in my life - high school was like to me as a thousand years ago - barely a memory now...insignificant to me...asside from a few fond memories...


Nah. You're good. :thumbs_up
Thanks! I'll get to them all eventually.....just never enough time in each day, is there?


My parents get so annoyed at me! :lol: My dad yelled at me to turn down some music when we were in the car one time, and said it was really obnoxious. Then one time I was blasting music and my dad came in and told me he couldn't hear me say "come in" when he knocked. Both times I was listening to Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA...gotta turn it up at Bob 1's guitar solos. Louuuuuudddd! Yeah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKtZwWLMp8&feature=related *dances wildly* Mistah Kamikaze! Mistah DNA! Oh, yes. Oh, yes. It's beautiful. *sniff and a tear*

This rendition sounds exactly like my son and I. I would yell at him to 'turn it down!'...sometimes though, I would sneak into his room and we would watch videos together on MTV. He once made me a tape, of all the ones I liked. I still have it actually; so sweet of him.:)


Yes, I like being that. But DEVO just ruined me, ruined me, I tell ya. I am trying, though...

Don't think I like Mono actually, I never did check. Well, sometimes we do dwell on a group or artist for the longest time, and then suddenly, we need something 'new' - you will get that way eventually with Devo - wait and see, then later on you will revive your interest in them. I have done this with several groups now.


Oh yes! I love classical music! Baroque's my favorite, probably because it's fast most of the time. :p I have The Magic Flute on CD. My version's in German. I actually saw that opera live down at the Hollywood Bowl. Very good.

Baroque is fast - a little too jittery for me. This is why I had to write you now - I can't believe you just said this about Mozart. All evening I have been watching my new DVD of -"The Magic Flute" - the new one directed by Kenneth Branagh in English. I liked it a lot. The music is spectacular. I bought a Region 2 DVD from Amazon UK; but unfortunately, it would not play on my Region 2 player, so I had to view it on the computer. It was beautiful on here; the set designs are amazingly artistic and creative. Ken does it again! I really liked the story and the singing, acting, although I did not fully undertand. It was very entertaining and the ending is spectacular. You can view some clips on Youtube. I think it is just great that you saw it live at the Hollywood Bowl - that is such a cool place! The good thing about playing it on my computer, is that I can listen to the music only, out of four speakers, even if not viewing the film. Maybe I just did not have my selector box set right to view in on the Region 2 player; will try another day. I truly enjoyed it - good music, don't you think? Isn't it one fine coincidence that you should mention it tonight?


That Alagna guy is quite attractive!

Oh yeah, he is really cute. Downing turned me onto him. I like him in 'Romeo and Juliet' - very romantic and sexy...he wears a loose blousy type shirt - I don't know why, but men in those really turn me on. I just ordered "The Serpent's Kiss" with Ewan McGregor - he wears that period garb in that film and ouuulaaalaaa...very, very sensual. I saw clips on Youtube and I had to have the film. Alagna is gorgeous too, in 'Tosca', his film version with his wonderfully talented and beautiful wife. See all the good ones are taken!:lol: I watched the 'extras' on the "Magic Flute" and got such a treat - Ken Branagh 7 inches high - a true closeup - he looked so lifelike, I felt I could reach out and touch his face - *oh yeah, dream on Janine* - he looked good with a full beard and such blue eyes - love his eyes and his way, cute manor, plus he is such a brainy man, and creative, too. I love creative men!


Guess what came up on shuffle just now! Act I Scene XIV No. 7 of the Magic Flute!

It is definitely sychronicity or ESP!


Yes, that would make sense, like Bob Dylan and such. Weren't you the one to post Dylan's photo here? I liked the early film I saw on him recently - hey, he was kind of cute back then....very 'deep', too. Of course, he did break Joan Baez's heart.

Indeed, I agree. Good to hear it.


Are they now? Hmmmm.
They were, but now I think they are waiting on me to test out the deal. I will be busy tomorrow and was too busy today to dig out my records. Will have to wait a few days...weekend maybe...


Do it! I will definitely; I have some great stuff on records...lots of rare stuff too, but stuff that is making a comeback.


I have no idea. I think we have one of those, too, for some reason. Give it to her and then buy yourself one.

Oh maybe, but I won't use them - just want to smell them....haha


That is so adorable!
It is an so funny too...she is really something....I will figure out how to send you the link to my file in Photobucket...you will really laugh...


She would, and I will look this all up once my back is better. Ugh. I am so sorry. :(

Wait til you are much better and stay off the computer! You need to heal...rest...


Don't worry about it! You don't even have to watch it if you don't want to! XD

No, I will eventually - I like to try new things and sample music, videos. Love Youtube a little too much;) these days....


Me too. I am quite a visual person.
Yep, then we think alike.


Go to sleep! :lol:
Heading there now...:yawnb:


I noticed.
haha...


Probably. DEVO is my Personal Jesus, so to speak.
Perhaps, but really there is only one Jesus...how 'bout your 'personal teddy bears' instead.


Yes, she told me about that. :( I'm sure it's quite hard. The poor thing!
It is for her every winter...she said she called a snowplow guy, don't think he came yet.


Luckily we have a gadillion of them in my town, as well as elebenty gadillion records stores in my town. (Okay, four.) Store that specialize/contain at least some vinyl.

Cool! I used to frequent a used record exchange and I loved it. I got really good albums there and cheap. It was so much fun browsing....people were nice, too....I miss that...


:lol: Don't say that!
Ok, then I won't - 'space particles' instead - the awesome kind..***:D


Aw! Yes, aw....


:lol: Awhahahaha.Definitely Awhahhahaha.....


Aw, he's pretty cute, too. I saw you mentioned him a couple posts back. You've seen Big Fish, yeah? "Sandra Templeton, I WILL marry you!"

Yes, I saw the film and liked it, that was a romantic moment; but I like him best in his dark subversive roles like "Young Adam", "Nora" (plays the complex James Joyce). "Eye of the Beholder," "Shallow Grave"...you get the picture....he has a lot of depth; I guess I like his independent films, even though some were not that popular. I will post a link to a video you will like - has the underwater scene from Big Fish at the very end, other parts are "Serpent's Kiss"... I think; it is really good.


Yes, I know, and now I can't sit for very long at all at them. I'm quite sad and frustrated.

I can't either; it is frustrating....like right now, I should be off of here and heading for bed. Computers are killers for bad backs.


They're neat-O, huh?
Who said only men were from Mars?

I have to watch the rest of that. I thought it was pretty corny and fun - funky. I tried to read that book once and it was so silly; gave up on it. In one of Ken's films they make fun of the book...I must think of the lines to tell you what they are...may have to watch that part of the film again...it was funny but chauvist...Ken was such a sour puss in the beginning of this film and then became transformed after meeting a little diabled girl. Ken was also just great in the story about FDR, "Warm Springs"; about his convalescence in Georgia after polio; he should have won the Emmy for that outstanding performance - he was nominated and he definitely gave a stellar performance.


Exactly. Most people misinterpret that song. Though I must say you can't really guess what it's about, you have to research it if you really want to know.

Most people misinterpret a lot of songs - once the radio did a thing on that - 'misconstrued lyrics' - the people who called in had the funniest answers. It was hilarous!


They're coming out with an EP next Tuesday. I pre-ordered my copy a while ago. :D
What is an EP? Is that like an ET? ahhaha


To some extent. My dad hates my music, though. :lol: "TURN THAT *beep* DOWN!"
Yes, I can relate to that. Old folks need rest and quiet, fast hectic music causes older people anxiety...hahaha....or mellow music at night is better....although there was a time I did like some of my son's music, now I actually hate some he likes - the gap has gotten wider...


Indeed. I prefer deeper music, though.
I do also - something with thought behind it and depth of emotion, meaning, etc.


I liked them when I was nine...Across the Universe really made me angry. I'm sorry. I didn't even finish that movie. It was just awful. I know that really doesn't have much to do with them, though.
I watched it (suffered through) - that was a dumb movie, I thought. Can't even recall now what it was about, that is how much it impressed me...NOT!


That does sound interesting. I'm sure my friend has it. I'll borrow it from him.
It really is interesting and mesmerizing...it became a sort of 'cult film'. It is 'timeless'...isolation is a timeless theme...


I used to listen to that but don't know what it would be like now. It was good.

Really? Yeah, I wonder....


Well I guess I listen to a lot of 80's/90's underground music. Some stuff from now...

They say it is good; I will have to listen to some soon, like 80's 90's music.....some anyway...


Haha, thanks. I love those glasses...need to get a new pair seeing as they are wearing out real bad.
They are big and funky - I liked them on you. I used to wear really big glasses, but prescription; now I would give anything for that operation to free me from them...I hate bifocals!


And I won't answer! :p
...so 'let it be'...as the Beatles said.


:redface:
*greenface*:lol: sort of 'spacey' with a 'green' face....:lol:


:lol: That's a boy's show! And a bit before my time, I think. And my mother never permitted me to watch "violent" TV shows anyways. XD
Yeah, I know it....but did not know if you cared about gender for shows back then...guess it was before your time....I knew this young girl, her mom hoped she would play with doll, be all feminine; instead she liked her brother's monsters!


Thanks. :lol:
Welcome:lol:


I am too!Are you hip to the jive? Do ya dig what I'm saying with the wiggity wack low down soul sistah? Tiiiiiight. POPPYCOCK!
If I am acting out my teen fantasies. I do know 'POPPYCOCK'! haha..and 'ya dig'...that started with the beat-nik era. :lol:


That's cool, I act like an older person who acts like a teenager. :D:lol: Good one!


When the clock strikes zero!
Zero is good... I can wait...


U2! XD Good night!
U2 is the singing group with Bono...haha XD Goodnight space cadette! :D:alien:


Oh! Okay, I will look, like I said, when I am all better...which means I should stop sneaking on like this. :sick:
Stop sneaking on here and get better, silly Lily! :lol:

[Lily Adams]

Oh!.... if you saw my room, you would know I was eccentric. I collect everything and anything and it is getting to the point where I can't fit anymore in. I am tripping over books and DVDs, CD's - can we ever have enough??? I guess that is cool though - at least my brain gets 'exercise';).

I always do. You do so it also!

Eccentricity is basically awesome.

Brain exercise! My favorite!

And I shall.


Yeah, I could care less at this time in my life - high school was like to me as a thousand years ago - barely a memory now...insignificant to me...asside from a few fond memories...

I love high school...well, most of it. I hope to remember a lot of it, but I'm sure new great memories will come to me of course. I like being young in that sense. I have so much ahead of me.


Thanks! I'll get to them all eventually.....just never enough time in each day, is there?

No problem. I can empathize with that!


This rendition sounds exactly like my son and I. I would yell at him to 'turn it down!'...sometimes though, I would sneak into his room and we would watch videos together on MTV. He once made me a tape, of all the ones I liked. I still have it actually; so sweet of him.:)

Oh my gosh, yes. Both my parents tell me to turn down the stereo. They're just BAH HUMBUG!

That's nice indeed. :)


Don't think I like Mono actually, I never did check. Well, sometimes we do dwell on a group or artist for the longest time, and then suddenly, we need something 'new' - you will get that way eventually with Devo - wait and see, then later on you will revive your interest in them.

I seriously doubt anything will ever replace DEVO, but I will find new stuff that I like. I already have! :D

Pa-pa-pa-papageno!

Yeah! There's a lot of opera on YouTube. Including these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN9pMdL9JN8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGUgrN3SIOc ;) :lol: Oh my gosh...love those videos. Adorable.

That was my first and only time at the Hollywood Bowl and my first and only live opera. Loved it.

Haha, yes. My mother loves classical music so I got that from her, and the fact that I love the past. I told you I listen to old music! :lol:


Oh yeah, he is really cute. Downing turned me onto him. I like him in 'Romeo and Juliet' - very romantic and sexy...he wears a loose blousy type shirt - I don't know why, but men in those really turn me on.

I love creative men!

:lol: Men are torturous like that, no?



It is definitely sychronicity or ESP!

:lol:


Weren't you the one to post Dylan's photo here? I liked the early film I saw on him recently - hey, he was kind of cute back then....very 'deep', too. Of course, he did break Joan Baez's heart.


Nope, that was someone else. He was quite attractive, though.


They were, but now I think they are waiting on me to test out the deal. I will be busy tomorrow and was too busy today to dig out my records. Will have to wait a few days...weekend maybe...

Kay; I'll check it out in the meantime.

It is an so funny too...she is really something....I will figure out how to send you the link to my file in Photobucket...you will really laugh...


Pleeeeeease! :D I love little kidd-Os!


Wait til you are much better and stay off the computer! You need to heal...rest...

I had my mother, who is a physical therapist, look at my back a day or so ago and she said there's nothing wrong with it. I think it is cured, but I am still going to be careful. Darn my weak frame.



No, I will eventually - I like to try new things and sample music, videos. Love Youtube a little too much;) these days....

Who isn't a YouTube addict?


Perhaps, but really there is only one Jesus...how 'bout your 'personal teddy bears' instead.

Indeed-I love those things. Still have elebenty gadillion of them on my bed.



It is for her every winter...she said she called a snowplow guy, don't think he came yet.

Where does she live again? Minnesota? Wisconsin? Michigan? Somewhere up there. That sucks nuclear barrel waste. :(


Cool! I used to frequent a used record exchange and I loved it. I got really good albums there and cheap. It was so much fun browsing....people were nice, too....I miss that...

I know! I love those deals! I got Switched on Bach on vinyl at an old Book Shop for two dollars or so...


Ok, then I won't - 'space particles' instead - the awesome kind..***:D

Yeeeeeeeah!


Yes, I saw the film and liked it, that was a romantic moment; but I like him best in his dark subversive roles like "Young Adam", "Nora" (plays the complex James Joyce).

Tell me! :D


Most people misinterpret a lot of songs - once the radio did a thing on that - 'misconstrued lyrics' - the people who called in had the funniest answers. It was hilarous!

:lol: No, I don't think they get the lyrics wrong, more like the meaning...


What is an EP? Is that like an ET? ahhaha


:eek2: You're joking, yes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_play

This is like me knowing more about vinyl (though there are EP CD's...they're usually vinyl, I think, though. DEVO's is vinyl.) and how to work the record player than my mom...and now you! :lol:


Yes, I can relate to that. Old folks need rest and quiet, fast hectic music causes older people anxiety...hahaha....or mellow music at night is better....although there was a time I did like some of my son's music, now I actually hate some he likes - the gap has gotten wider...

But it's fun! :lol:

Maybe that just happens because my parents hate my music more and more...


I do also - something with thought behind it and depth of emotion, meaning, etc.

There's nothing better.


I watched it (suffered through) - that was a dumb movie, I thought. Can't even recall now what it was about, that is how much it impressed me...NOT!

THANK YOU. At least I'm not the only one.


They say it is good; I will have to listen to some soon, like 80's 90's music.....some anyway...


Mmmm-hmmm.


They are big and funky - I liked them on you. I used to wear really big glasses, but prescription; now I would give anything for that operation to free me from them...I hate bifocals!

Aw, don't say that! Glasses are awesome! I actually don't need mine. :D


...so 'let it be'...as the Beatles said.

Yep. :D


*greenface*:lol: sort of 'spacey' with a 'green' face....:lol:

Favorite color!


Yeah, I know it....but did not know if you cared about gender for shows back then...guess it was before your time....I knew this young girl, her mom hoped she would play with doll, be all feminine; instead she liked her brother's monsters!

Haha, yes. I was more of the feminine type, though...


If I am acting out my teen fantasies. I do know 'POPPYCOCK'! haha..and 'ya dig'...that started with the beat-nik era. :lol:

:lol:


:lol: Good one!

:D



Zero is good... I can wait...

Silly Arabics inventing "zero" like that. Geez.


U2 is the singing group with Bono...haha XD

Well, I know that!

(Magic Flute came on shuffle again!)



Stop sneaking on here and get better, silly Lily! :lol:

Haha, yes...no more problems...

[QUOTE]Eccentricity is basically awesome.
Brain exercise! My favorite! Then I am totally awesome and I get a lot of brain exercise, as well....typing (finger) exercise, too.


And I shall. Good...I forget now what this refers to...:lol:


I love high school...well, most of it. I hope to remember a lot of it, but I'm sure new great memories will come to me of course. I like being young in that sense. I have so much ahead of me.

Well, I didn't hate high school. I liked certain aspects of it actually. I like the extra stuff like clubs I took part in and the school play. I was in the chorus and got second lead understudy - boy that certainly was a shocker to me. Being in the chorus was more my style - I was shy back then. It was a musical and it was gads of fun! I also had two cool guy friends and they asked my other girl friend and I to play hooky and go to NYC for a day. Oh my God, we had such a ball! Cliff got us tickets to 'Cabaret' (sp?) and we saw a matinee. I recall how excited he was to get hold of those tickets - some luck, right? We were of the same mind and liked theater and the arts. I liked being on the committee to decorate the prom; I helped design it. I also loved working on the school newpaper and yearbook layout. I loved all the art related things and actually, I am still friendly with my high school teacher (English Lit and History)....she lives not far from me; she ran a few of these clubs. I see her once in a while. She is, of course, retired now. I am actually good friends with her. I liked some of high school, but college really was my 'thing' - all art or mostly art...I did have some very liberal academics.


No problem. I can empathize with that! Thanks.


Oh my gosh, yes. Both my parents tell me to turn down the stereo. They're just BAH HUMBUG! :lol: A typical teen's reaction! :lol:


That's nice indeed. :) It was sweet. I still have a photo of us dressed up to go.


I seriously doubt anything will ever replace DEVO, but I will find new stuff that I like. I already have! :D

Well, who knows what the future will hold....you might keep them as your #1 always and add others to the list.


Pa-pa-pa-papageno! I loved that! There was the guy papageno and then the girl papagena; isn't that how it worked? It was pretty silly but funny.


Yeah! There's a lot of opera on YouTube. Including these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN9pMdL9JN8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGUgrN3SIOc ;) :lol: Oh my gosh...love those videos. Adorable.

I did look at these yet last night. Kids are so funny; they were so cute..the second kid was the funniest and had a really high pitched voice. The first kid is losing her dress...:lol:


That was my first and only time at the Hollywood Bowl and my first and only live opera. Loved it.

Sounds interesting. I think my father went there years and eons ago. I recall him telling us about it. My grandfather lived out there with his second (she died) and third wife. My father went to visit him. Long story and kind of sad...


Haha, yes. My mother loves classical music so I got that from her, and the fact that I love the past. I told you I listen to old music! :lol:

Great, something good rubbed off then...glad you appreciate it.


:lol: Men are torturous like that, no? Yes, the smart ones are that! I dated one and he drove me wild.


:lol: ditto!


Nope, that was someone else. He was quite attractive, though. He was in a certain way then; not now though - he aged sort of badly.:(


Kay; I'll check it out in the meantime. I did see you asked about it in that social group today.



It should cuz it's AWESOME! Yep, old stuff is awesome...glad it will live on now, due to DVD's and CD's, audiofiles.


XD:lol: just what does that translate to, Miss Alien Presence?


Pleeeeeease! :D I love little kidd-Os!Hummm...wonder if I can put the link straight into a PM to you. I have to warm you though. I am laughing uncontrollably in the background - I should be shot or wish I could censor my silly goofy laugh out.


I had my mother, who is a physical therapist, look at my back a day or so ago and she said there's nothing wrong with it. I think it is cured, but I am still going to be careful. Darn my weak frame.

Oh wow, lucky you...I could use a physical therapist around. They could help me get back into shape; least strengthen my muscles. Maybe you just pulled something and now it is cured. How did you do it to begin with? Do you take calcium or drink milk, do dairy?


Who isn't a YouTube addict? Yeah really...well I am now for certain...I guess I am a very visual person, being an artist. It has a lot to offer.


Indeed-I love those things. Still have elebenty gadillion of them on my bed. Hug a bear then and think of them...haha....


Where does she live again? Minnesota? Wisconsin? Michigan? Somewhere up there. That sucks nuclear barrel waste. :( Wisconsin. Cold up there. My other friend lives in Michigan. That reminds me; I owe her an email. I owe my friend in Japan one too, instead I am avoiding all and talking mostly silly stuff to you - now I should be shot.

"nuclear barrel wast" ?...huh? what? where?....:confused:


I know! I love those deals! I got Switched on Bach on vinyl at an old Book Shop for two dollars or so...

Yep they did cost about 2 bucks; most expensive may have been 4 or 5. I loved that place. I found a lot of cool stuff there - rare records.


Yeeeeeeeah! ditto again!


Ewan is awesome. Good actor. He is pretty sweet. He is deep and I like that. Devilish, too and that turns me on.


I think it's our cheap comptuer chair.Oh, don't get me started on those! The most certainly can ruin a back. I worked at place 3 yrs with a bad chair and ended up with back surgery - so do be careful. Invest in a new chair with lumbar support - cheaper than an operation.


Exactly! I like me some corny and funky stuff. I do, too.:D


My psychology teacher keeps telling us to read that. What the Men from Mars book? If so is she wacked?


Tell me! :D Will have to see the film again, and note the lines; but this week I am on a Ken Branagh marathon. I may watch that tonight, unless I watch something newer. I have Ibsen plays I bought and they all look good. I may want to see "A Doll's House"...don't know yet what mood I am in.


:lol: No, I don't think they get the lyrics wrong, more like the meaning... No, they did actually get the lyrics wrong - like in one song they thought it said "palm trees under my feet" - it was from the Miami Vice TV show theme song...you might not know the show; it was during my son's era - he loved that show....anyway I thought that was just hysterical...I forget what the actual lyrics were but it was not "palm trees under my feet"...There were other really really funny ones. I don't think anyone has ever been able to tell me exactly what Michael Jackson says in one of his lines from Billy Jean...it is mutted or slurred and God knows what he is saying.


:eek2: You're joking, yes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_play

Oh, I looked at that briefly and it seemed pretty complicated. Now I do get the gist of what you meant anyway.


This is like me knowing more about vinyl (though there are EP CD's...they're usually vinyl, I think, though. DEVO's is vinyl.) and how to work the record player than my mom...and now you! :lol:

Haha - yes, we are of the 'old school'....one of the members of the 'Old Geezers and Geezerettes' social group. I can relate to things in there. Your mom should join, too.


Maybe that just happens because my parents hate my music more and more...
That is a likely possibility....;)


There's nothing better. Nothing, exactly...


THANK YOU. At least I'm not the only one. No, I am here, too.


Mmmm-hmmm. Hummm-mummm.


Most people don't like them on me, hahaha.
Well you do have a very pretty naked face - you should show that more often, not hide behind those lens.


Aw, don't say that! Glasses are awesome! I actually don't need mine. :D I know you don't need them. If you did you would hate them...and bifocals are the worst. I just despise them...I would have have the operation in a second if I could afford it. I don't wear my glasses at all when on the computer or to read - think that is why I now hate them so. I feel freed when I don't have to wear those things.


Favorite color! Green? What like aliens? :alien:


Haha, yes. I was more of the feminine type, though... I would think so, you are pretty and petite looking. I have always been the feminine type as well.

:lol:yep, :lol:


Silly Arabics inventing "zero" like that. Geez. Yeah, what is with that anyway - 0 is really pretty wacky. Isn't it the base?


Well, I know that! oh good. Thought you might know...


(Magic Flute came on shuffle again!) How strange; I feel I need a second viewing - maybe watch that again tonight....not sure yet what my mood will dictate.


Haha, yes...no more problems... Ok, but stay off, so you can get better, really better...back problems at your age would be no fun.

[Lily Adams]

Then I am totally awesome and I get a lot of brain exercise, as well....typing (finger) exercise, too.

Me too. XP


Good...I forget now what this refers to...:lol:

Us thinking for ourselves, I think.


Well, I didn't hate high school. I liked certain aspects of it actually. I like the extra stuff like clubs I took part in and the school play. I was in the chorus and got second lead understudy - boy that certainly was a shocker to me. Being in the chorus was more my style - I was shy back then. It was a musical and it was gads of fun! I also had two cool guy friends and they asked my other girl friend and I to play hooky and go to NYC for a day. Oh my God, we had such a ball! Cliff got us tickets to 'Cabaret' (sp?) and we saw a matinee. I recall how excited he was to get hold of those tickets - some luck, right? We were of the same mind and liked theater and the arts. I liked being on the committee to decorate the prom; I helped design it. I also loved working on the school newpaper and yearbook layout. I loved all the art related things and actually, I am still friendly with my high school teacher (English Lit and History)....she lives not far from me; she ran a few of these clubs. I see her once in a while. She is, of course, retired now. I am actually good friends with her. I liked some of high school, but college really was my 'thing' - all art or mostly art...I did have some very liberal academics.

Hooky! With boys! Bad Janine! :lol: Jist kiddin'!

Ooo, that's so cool that you still keep in touch with your teacher-I love teachers to death. They are usually so amazing and awesome and unique, unlike a lot of my peers. I just love them. They give me hope in this world. I still keep in touch with my Geometry teacher from last year. There have been so many when I've wanted to just go in the teacher's lounge and hang out in there. I am actually e-mailing my ninth grade and my current science teachers for fun. (I'm sending them this article http://www.satirewire.com/news/may02/prizes.shtml) Ah, technology, gotta love it.


Thanks.

Gotta be understanding. :)


:lol: A typical teen's reaction! :lol:

:lol: MAYBE SO!


Well, who knows what the future will hold....you might keep them as your #1 always and add others to the list.

Exactly.


I loved that! There was the guy papageno and then the girl papagena; isn't that how it worked? It was pretty silly but funny.


Yep! I was a bit jealous when they got together, though, cuz I had a crush on Papageno for some reason.



I did look at these yet last night. Kids are so funny; they were so cute..the second kid was the funniest and had a really high pitched voice. The first kid is losing her dress...:lol:


:lol: Oh my gosh, I LOVE those videos. They never cease to make me laugh really hard.



Sounds interesting. I think my father went there years and eons ago. I recall him telling us about it. My grandfather lived out there with his second (she died) and third wife. My father went to visit him. Long story and kind of sad...

:(


Great, something good rubbed off then...glad you appreciate it.

Yeah, I should steal her classical music vinyl collection and put it in mine, like I did with her classical music CD's. (Okay, not all of them...bot much into the Romantic Era...)


He was in a certain way then; not now though - he aged sort of badly.:(

Daw, really? I don't know much about him. I'm blasphemous, I know. I just don't seem to listen to what everyone else listens to, like the classics.


I did see you asked about it in that social group today.

Yep!


Yep, old stuff is awesome...glad it will live on now, due to DVD's and CD's, audiofiles.

Oh, isn't it? And yes, I am thankful for those...



:lol: just what does that translate to, Miss Alien Presence?

It's a smiley. Look at it sideways. >.> <.< are shifty eyes, not sideways, though. See?


Hummm...wonder if I can put the link straight into a PM to you. I have to warm you though. I am laughing uncontrollably in the background - I should be shot or wish I could censor my silly goofy laugh out.

Probably!

That makes it even more hilarious! Laughing makes me laugh like crazy. Have you seen that video where a buncha people laugh and it's a challenge to see if you don't laugh the whole time? I laughed like...two seconds in. It was sad. I think I laughed at the baby laughing. (Aline, thinking: "Lolololol, baby. Oh, shoot. I laughed. I lost." :lol:)


Oh wow, lucky you...I could use a physical therapist around. They could help me get back into shape; least strengthen my muscles. Maybe you just pulled something and now it is cured. How did you do it to begin with? Do you take calcium or drink milk, do dairy?


I am! She rubs my back and everything!

I used the computer too much. Winged scapula is a slipping of the scapula away from the ribcage and a weakening of the muscles that hold them to it.

And yes, I drink plenty of milk. :D


Yeah really...well I am now for certain...I guess I am a very visual person, being an artist. It has a lot to offer.

Yep! :D :D :D


Hug a bear then and think of them...haha....

XD


Wisconsin. Cold up there. My other friend lives in Michigan. That reminds me; I owe her an email. I owe my friend in Japan one too, instead I am avoiding all and talking mostly silly stuff to you - now I should be shot.

Oh, yes.

We got a Japanese foreign exchange student at our school! He's neat-O.

Neener, neener, neener, I'm distracting you! :p


"nuclear barrel wast" ?...huh? what? where?....:confused:

:lol: It's just a silly thing I say a lot.


Yep they did cost about 2 bucks; most expensive may have been 4 or 5. I loved that place. I found a lot of cool stuff there - rare records.

:D Wow, that's so expensive. :lol:


He is pretty sweet. He is deep and I like that. Devilish, too and that turns me on.

:D


Oh, don't get me started on those! The most certainly can ruin a back. I worked at place 3 yrs with a bad chair and ended up with back surgery - so do be careful. Invest in a new chair with lumbar support - cheaper than an operation.


AHHH! D: I'll ask my parents...



I do, too.:D

Yay! :D


What the Men from Mars book? If so is she wacked?

Yep! :lol:



Will have to see the film again, and note the lines; but this week I am on a Ken Branagh marathon. I may watch that tonight, unless I watch something newer. I have Ibsen plays I bought and they all look good. I may want to see "A Doll's House"...don't know yet what mood I am in.

:D Don't ya love it when you get obsessed with something? It's fun.


No, they did actually get the lyrics wrong - like in one song they thought it said "palm trees under my feet" - it was from the Miami Vice TV show theme song...you might not know the show; it was during my son's era - he loved that show....anyway I thought that was just hysterical...I forget what the actual lyrics were but it was not "palm trees under my feet"...There were other really really funny ones. I don't think anyone has ever been able to tell me exactly what Michael Jackson says in one of his lines from Billy Jean...it is mutted or slurred and God knows what he is saying.

:lol: I'm sure that was funny to hear.


Oh, I looked at that briefly and it seemed pretty complicated. Now I do get the gist of what you meant anyway.

Hahahaha. Yep. Bigger than a single, smaller than an LP.


Haha - yes, we are of the 'old school'....one of the members of the 'Old Geezers and Geezerettes' social group. I can relate to things in there. Your mom should join, too.

If she ever joins LitNet, I'll tell her to!


That is a likely possibility....;)

It's just natural! :lol:



No, I am here, too.

Good. Phew.



Well you do have a very pretty naked face - you should show that more often, not hide behind those lens.

Once in a while I don't wear them. I had this one lady get really mad at me once because of them. :lol: "You don't need them!? TAKE THEM OFF!!!"


I know you don't need them. If you did you would hate them...and bifocals are the worst. I just despise them...I would have have the operation in a second if I could afford it. I don't wear my glasses at all when on the computer or to read - think that is why I now hate them so. I feel freed when I don't have to wear those things.

HAHAHAHAHA. That made me laugh so hard! I didn't even have to tell you!


Green? What like aliens? :alien:

Yep! Or secret laboratories!



I would think so, you are pretty and petite looking. I have always been the feminine type as well.

I'm not really anymore-girl's clothing is too boring for me and my legs look way too skinny for me to ever wear a skirt. Though I must say that I bought a skirt at the thrift store the other day that I actually liked-yellow and gray stripes-real nice and gaudy!

:lol:yep, :lol:


Yeah, what is with that anyway - 0 is really pretty wacky. Isn't it the base?

Binary would be nothing without it!


How strange; I feel I need a second viewing - maybe watch that again tonight....not sure yet what my mood will dictate.

Do it!!!


Ok, but stay off, so you can get better, really better...back problems at your age would be no fun.

Yeah, it's not...is it ever? Thanks. Take care. :)

http://www.satirewire.com/news/may02/prizes.shtml) Ah, technology, gotta love it. I still need to go and watch this. Bet it is cool.

Gotta be understanding. :) Ah, thanks.

:lol: MAYBE SO! It will happen.

Exactly. Yes!

Yep! I was a bit jealous when they got together, though, cuz I had a crush on Papageno for some reason. Figures, Papageno was the dorky guy or the nerdy one.:D:lol: Actually, when I saw the extras on the Branagh film DVD I liked the guy who played Papageno more so than the handsomer guy - something about the P guy was rather appealing.

:lol: Oh my gosh, I LOVE those videos. They never cease to make me laugh really hard. They were cute. My son's of my grand-baby would top them though - haha...of course I am a bit prejudice.
:( wish I could reverse that one...haha

Yeah, I should steal her classical music vinyl collection and put it in mine, like I did with her classical music CD's. (Okay, not all of them...bot much into the Romantic Era...) Robber...so that is where my missing CD's went....hummmm...

Daw, really? I don't know much about him. I'm blasphemous, I know. I just don't seem to listen to what everyone else listens to, like the classics.
Trust me, Dillon looks old!

Yep! Did you get a reply in the social group?

Oh, isn't it? And yes, I am thankful for those...
Old music rules!

When you hear yourself cackling it's it is not too hysterical, trust me please!

I am! She rubs my back and everything!Lucky you!

I used the computer too much. Winged scapula is a slipping of the scapula away from the ribcage and a weakening of the muscles that hold them to it. Don't we all (first statement)...that sounds technically awful...do you take glucosomine/chrondrotin - that might help that situation; it's a natural sublimenet. It works for me.

And yes, I drink plenty of milk. :D Good girl!

Yep! :D :D :D Truly...

XDAgain that does not translate.

Oh, yes. O K


We got a Japanese foreign exchange student at our school! He's neat-O.
Neener, neener, neener, I'm distracting you! :p Cool on the friend; my Japanese friend is so cool, too...it is guy also...very nice and very gentlemanly. Well, if you weren't distracting me, something else would be. :lol:

:lol: It's just a silly thing I say a lot. I noticed.

:D Wow, that's so expensive. :lol:...super cheap!

:D Ahhhhh....

AHHH! D: I'll ask my parents... Tell them you must have a better chair; get you one for Christmas. They are not that expensive.

Yay! :DIf you say so..

Yep! :lol: Sooo agreeable...

:D Don't ya love it when you get obsessed with something? It's fun. What would life be without obsession? :D

:lol: I'm sure that was funny to hear. Very funny at the time.

Hahahaha. Yep. Bigger than a single, smaller than an LP.Gotcha.

If she ever joins LitNet, I'll tell her to! Yep talk her into it; humm...then she will snitch your computer, and she will become obsessed.

It's just natural! :lol: It is.

Good. Phew. Yep...

Once in a while I don't wear them. I had this one lady get really mad at me once because of them. :lol: "You don't need them!? TAKE THEM OFF!!!" A typical grown-ups response! :D

HAHAHAHAHA. That made me laugh so hard! I didn't even have to tell you! What, it was not suppose to be funny; I really do hate wearing the #!&^%z*$@! things!

I have a crush on the current incarnation of Doctor Who, David Tennant. Normally I'm not attracted to actors because the illusion of perfection is blown for me once they open their mouths, but he's really self-effacing and articulate. Not that there aren't smart actors, but uh...well, it's not that common for me to be downright impressed by an actor's vocabulary. This guy once used the word "bellicose" in a sentence.

Though I currently only have eyes for DT-- er, and my boyfriend(!), but we're talking about celebrity crushes here-- I'm glad to see my former crush, Trent Reznor, represented in this thread:). I'm also slightly in love with Tom Brokaw, if only it weren't for the fact that he's fifty years too old for me...sigh....

I'm watching It's a Wonderful Life for the first time in years, and I just realized how stunning Donna Reed was.

It's another smiley! See it? Sideways! Closed eyes; tongue outside mouth.

Hahaha, okay. :lol:


Yeah, it is nice; glad you have some teacher friends, too...they are only human afterall.
I love teachers! Apparently all the ones at my school had a staff party on Friday and I got mad at one for not inviting me. :lol:


Figures, Papageno was the dorky guy or the nerdy one.:D:lol: Actually, when I saw the extras on the Branagh film DVD I liked the guy who played Papageno more so than the handsomer guy - something about the P guy was rather appealing.

All the Papagenos gots to be cute!


They were cute. My son's of my grand-baby would top them though - haha...of course I am a bit prejudice.

You have reason to be!


Robber...so that is where my missing CD's went....hummmm...

:p


Did you get a reply in the social group?

Not really; I don't think so.



Old music rules!

Yep!



When you hear yourself cackling it's it is not too hysterical, trust me please!

I stopped worrying over whether I was hysterical or not ages ago. I just accept it now.


Don't we all (first statement)...that sounds technically awful...do you take glucosomine/chrondrotin - that might help that situation; it's a natural sublimenet. It works for me.

I'm eating more stuff with magnesium in it. That's supposed to help.


Again that does not translate.

Another sideways smiley-eyes closed, mouth open.



Cool on the friend; my Japanese friend is so cool, too...it is guy also...very nice and very gentlemanly. Well, if you weren't distracting me, something else would be. :lol:

Yep! Sounds like a Japanese person!


Tell them you must have a better chair; get you one for Christmas. They are not that expensive.

I'll ask...


What would life be without obsession? :D

Very boring.


Yep talk her into it; humm...then she will snitch your computer, and she will become obsessed.

:lol:



A typical grown-ups response! :D

Tell me about it! :p


What, it was not suppose to be funny; I really do hate wearing the #!&^%z*$@! things!

But they are so cool looking! I just need something on my face...I don't wear make-up, so glasses it is.


Oh, now I shall always associate green with those things....geez and I thought I liked the color green:sick:...

:lol: I have green hair and lime green shoes, too!


Oh, I like those longish skirts -peasant skirts. It sounds great. I like tie-dye and stuff with seqence and all kinds of odd stuff - I still dress sometimes like a teenager. I love thrift store finds! :thumbs_up

That is so COOL! Sounds like you have a great wardrobe! Dressing up like a teenager is the best. I love doing it.

It's another smiley! See it? Sideways! Closed eyes; tongue outside mouth.
Hahaha, okay. :lol: Hey, I never did answer this Lily, after we hijacked this thread.:lol: Nay, still don't see it...closed eyes and tongue?


I love teachers! Apparently all the ones at my school had a staff party on Friday and I got mad at one for not inviting me. :lol:

You know, I enjoy teaching things. I once helped aid a teacher at a community college on computers...those were the old ones, before actually user friendly PC's...I took a computer graphics course but we actually had to do all the programing - looking back on that now it is strange to think of. Looked like something out of a Devo video. Later I did teach some people to list things on Ebay. I think I missed my calling and now wish I had gone for art teacher...that might have been fun; but in high school, my actual art teacher was my least favorite one so that turned me off to the idea.


All the Papagenos gots to be cute! Yes, the little ones! Can you picture that?


You have reason to be! I will just agree now since I forget what this refers to - oh yeah, my beautiful grand-daughter! Yes, she is just that and I can brag anytime - thanks.:D


:p Ah the sideway smile with the tongue - now I see it.


Not really; I don't think so.OK....


Yep!OK, again....


I stopped worrying over whether I was hysterical or not ages ago. I just accept it now.:lol:


I'm eating more stuff with magnesium in it. That's supposed to help. You better watch that - magnesium has to be balanced with calcium. I guess it is ok to eat foods high in M but if you take suppliments you are suppose to balance the two, I believe, or you will cause a deficiency.


Another sideways smiley-eyes closed, mouth open. Got-it-now~ whip it, whip it good! :lol:


Yep! Sounds like a Japanese person! How true that is. Such nice people.


I'll ask...K.....did you tell them about a better chair for your poor back?


Very boring. Yes, my life is propelled by obsession.


:lol:;):lol:


Tell me about it! :p:lol:



But they are so cool looking! I just need something on my face...I don't wear make-up, so glasses it is. So you a hiding behind the specs?:cool:


:lol: I have green hair and lime green shoes, too! Maybe you could be in a Devo video. Tap the green magic shoes together 3 times and you will be in 'Devo Heaven' (or is it Kansas?). Now what do your parents say about that green hair? Is it permanent color or spray on?


That is so COOL! Sounds like you have a great wardrobe! Dressing up like a teenager is the best. I love doing it.

I do have some cool things in my wardrobe, because I like fun clothes and colors a lot; also love acessories, don't you? Unfortunately, I need to drop quite a number pounds; after 50 the pounds seem to accumulate a few each year. I can't wear a lot of my more stylish things, which has been lately annoying. I bought a nice leather jacket a few years back on a great sale and now I notice I can't really zip it...eeek...this calls for action! Guess, come spring, I have to make myself walk or do something to she these unwanted pounds.


:lol: Computer talk! ah - so it is and from Devo's era!:alien::eek::nod:


Thanks! I am! Good, now that you rested those bones; how are you feeling?

Me too! I love to help and teach. That's why I want to be a teacher. Just to see their faces when they "get" something! Ah!

:D Cool. Old computers.

Aw! No! Don't let something like that get in your way! I am so sorry. :(

Yes, the little ones! Can you picture that?

You better watch that - magnesium has to be balanced with calcium. I guess it is ok to eat foods high in M but if you take suppliments you are suppose to balance the two, I believe, or you will cause a deficiency.

Don't worry, I get plenty of nutrition. Except the past few days since I hated food for a while because of my stomach flu. I don't think I can afford to not eat nutritiously. Already my body got really weak and I don't have as much padding on my feet and my legs feel like they're going to snap in half. Luckily I ate heartily today and yesterday, so I am fine. I get lots of calcium anyway. Lots of milk. And now I eat spinach for magnesium.


Got-it-now~ whip it, whip it good! :lol:

:D


K.....did you tell them about a better chair for your poor back?

I just told my dad.


Yes, my life is propelled by obsession.

It's fun.


So you a hiding behind the specs?:cool:

Possibly!


Maybe you could be in a Devo video. Tap the green magic shoes together 3 times and you will be in 'Devo Heaven' (or is it Kansas?). Now what do your parents say about that green hair? Is it permanent color or spray on?

:lol:

They don't care! My parents are quite liberal. :)

Permanent!

You can lose it! :D Be determined.



ah - so it is and from Devo's era!:alien::eek::nod:

Good, now that you rested those bones; how are you feeling?

Better, but now I'm sort of back where I started do to my weakness from this flu. I will get better, though. Thanks for asking.

Take care!

Are you people making fun of my taste in men? :p Are you saying that those eyebrows aren't amazing?

That's Spike Jones! http://themusicsover.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/on-this-date-may-1-1965-spike-jones/

:lol: I don't really have a crush on Spike Jones, guys...

"IIIIIIIII'm in the mooooooood for loooooooove!"

So basically Weird Al only a long time ago.

[Janine]

It is the mouth expression that scares the heck out of me, Lily....wow...I wonder where he bought that suit, also? And yes...:lol: I was most poking fun at your taste in men! haha...but relieved now to know you don't really have a crush on Spike Jones....whew....I did think you were far gone!

Sorry, Lily - still not ga-ga over the second guy...obviously, he is paying homage to Jones...Who else would dare to wear that suit. Second guy sort of has my father's look in the 50's, but he did not wear suits quite like that one.

Now, I agree, Pewnut,
James Franco is totally cute...and sexy, too...
He does indeed look like a modern James Dean; never thought of that before.

I've been having a big crush lately for Maggie Gyllenhaal. She makes me weak in the knees...and elbows too. :p

Have you seen Secretary? She's in that: ace movie. James Spader is just the right kind of creepy.

Donnie Darko too.

Donnie Darko's a great film!

Audry Hepburn. Saw her in a rubbish film recently, (How To Steal a Million) but it was impossible to take my eyes off the screen while she was graceing it.

It's funny but one of my friends keeps telling me to rent that movie, now I must, its my mission. James Spader, yes!!! he's such a phenomenal actor---he can go from snobby exec to deranged killer in a sec. Cool, so you know James Spader too. Sometimes I'll mention an actor's name in conversation, like Molly Ringwald, and people JUST stare at me like I have a third eyeball. Yeah I like her too, but not as much as my Maggie G. :p

James Spader is a bit sexy too ;) yeah, and a totally excellent actor too.

Rent Secretary. You won't be disappointed. It's a top top movie. Plus Maggie gets naked (in case you need any more reason!).

I remember Molly Ringwald. Wasn't she in The Breakfast Club?

[Janine]

I remember Molly Ringwald. Wasn't she in The Breakfast Club?

Molly Ringwald, yes...I always liked her. She was indeed in "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", and "Pretty in Pink"...she was quite good and I think she was attractive, too. I love all 3 of those films, what fun, entertaining. I did see her, not too long ago, in a film about a fancy restaurant; can't recall the name of the film now.

Who is that guy? He is indeed beautiful.

Anyhow, I can't say I have ever had a celebrity crush since I don't know them so well as persons, but there is an actress that comes closest - I really have enjoyed some of the roles of her, plus, she looks absolutely stunning- I am talking about an Estonian actress called Evelin Pang.

My brother had him "picked out" for me years ago already. At first I didn't see it, but now I definitely do. ;) My brother always said that he knew I was going to eventually come around and see that he is a good choice for me. I guess he was right. :D

I love this man! One of the most underrated actors (plus, he is cute ;)). I watched "Lars and the Real Girl" a couple of months ago. He was brilliant in there. Have you seen it?

Ok, yet again too many pics of guys that are not ME!!!
The best way to remedy this (without getting a new army of stalkers) is to post some pics of attractive women, so without further ado

1) Neve Campbell

A little bit jealous of Pam? I'm A LOTTTT jealous of Pam. He's just too cute for words. I don't think I can even express how adorable he is:p I'm glad you won't put up a fight for him, Lady, I think that would get very ugly:D

[LadyWentworth]

A little bit jealous of Pam? I'm A LOTTTT jealous of Pam. He's just too cute for words. I don't think I can even express how adorable he is:p
Did you see the episode with the house? When I saw that he was going to make the garage for her and her art, all that went through my mind was "Oh, I hate you" because I know NOBODY would do something like that for me! :p But wasn't it worse when he was with Karen?


I'm glad you won't put up a fight for him, Lady, I think that would get very ugly:D
Nah, I am too tired to fight over any men right now. :) Besides, like I said, there is always James Franco for me. :D

CUTEST THING OF LIFE!!! I was so afraid she was going to hate it for a second though. Yeah, no one would do that for me either (though I wouldn't want an art studio, but you know what I mean). UGH it was so much worse when he was with Karen. And even worse than that, when Pam was with Roy and Jim was obviously so hurt. Sad.

Ooh, did you know that John went to university to be a playwright? (yep, when we're bored my friends and I explore wikipedia:blush:)

Yeah, James Franco is all yours...unless he's like his character Tristan from Tristan and Isolde. Then I might want him...

[BulletproofDork]

[QUOTE=Karen_Leslie;647105] I have a crush on the current incarnation of Doctor Who, David Tennant. Normally I'm not attracted to actors because the illusion of perfection is blown for me once they open their mouths, but he's really self-effacing and articulate. Not that there aren't smart actors, but uh...well, it's not that common for me to be downright impressed by an actor's vocabulary. This guy once used the word "bellicose" in a sentence.

:D *drooling* You are not alone. David Tennant is adorable ... and also much, much older than me - but! Who cares? :p Did you see who they cast as the eleventh doctor? I think his name is Matt Smith. Do you like him? Personally, I think he'll be an okay doctor (I'm quite fond of his hair), but for now, David Tennant remains the best. :D

UGH it was so much worse when he was with Karen. And even worse than that, when Pam was with Roy and Jim was obviously so hurt. Sad.
I know. I was afraid, too. That look that she had on her face the entire time made me think it was so obvious how she wasn't too thrilled about any of it. I was thinking that this would be the thing that was going to create a little riff between them (I am sure the writers have something planned for some sort of cliffhanger, you know?). But Jim pulled it off with the art studio. :) Yeah, I know what you mean. No, I don't want the studio, but it is the point of the matter that nobody would ever do it for me - and you ;) - in real life. :( I watch some of those reruns now when Pam was with Roy and instead of being irritated because Jim just doesn't say something, or Pam just doesn't leave Roy, I am happy because I know what the outcome is. There isn't that frustration there anymore. Know what I mean? Of course, the horrid writers could change it all. That is what I am a little afraid of. I don't want to feel any worse for Jim than I did before.


Ooh, did you know that John went to university to be a playwright? (yep, when we're bored my friends and I explore wikipedia:blush:)
That sounds vaguely familiar to me. Maybe I read that in passing a long time ago. Does it say how he ended up just choosing acting instead? Did you ever see "Jarhead"? I was watching that and I said out loud (and I was all alone, too - so that statement was pointless to say instead of just thinking it :)) "That's Jim". I even had to rewind it to make sure. He has such a bit part in there. But, yes, that is him. He has a shaved head in there. That is what threw me off at first. He didn't have that hair!


Yeah, James Franco is all yours...unless he's like his character Tristan from Tristan and Isolde. Then I might want him...
Now, normally I would say "OK". But you see, I was very nice about not putting up a fight for John Krasinski. You can't have James Franco, too. That just wouldn't be fair. I mean, I was too nice about the other one. :) So this one is mine. :D

[Niamh]

WHY??? Do we have to come to an agreement over him like we did over Wentworth? :p

That picture was actually quite unfair on Ms Gylenhall, I just posted the first acceptable one I saw.

If you have seen Wedding Crashers you will be familiar with Rachel McAdams. She is from Southern Ontario, and was a good friend of one of the guys I went to college withs sister. They stopped by one night, I was only there briefly but I am quite sure my mouth was wide open the entire time

[kilted exile]

Yeah, but I spend my life partying with the rich & famous (its how I roll;))

On another note, she is stunning yes, but I have met other women I consider just as beautiful (if not more so) in normal day to day life.

Also similar to Ms Rossum, she does look like she might snap in half

I think Keira is very beautiful

[TheInsomniac]

Dori... kiera is damn amazing!. Its her and jessica alba that would go for anyday.

[Zee.]

The whole celebrity crush thing isn't so much about the looks for me - I mean, the whole handsome thing, yeah cool - but I don't really care for physical looks like that. It's a certain something.. they have to have. A type of charisma - that is what makes them attractive to me.

I almost expected that from you. :p Beware, I like my women skinny! So further pictures of skinny women are inevitable. :D


I think Keira is very beautiful

Indeed! :D Oddly, more girls agree with me that she is beautiful than guys. It's weird.


Dori... kiera is damn amazing!. Its her and jessica alba that would go for anyday.

That she is. :D


And lima, I'm not one that bases my choices primarily on looks (though they do play a big part, I confess :D). Take, for instance, my crush for Keira. Granted, she is gorgeous---beyond gorgeous---in my eyes, but apart from that there's just something about her. And her accent is to die for. :lol:

In the end, my equation for the ideal girl is skinny + nice hands + nice face = humina-humina-humina! :brow:

I can't stand a "butter-face." :lol:

My equation for the perfect girl is...

Legs and a pulse.

I agree about the hands Dori. I love beautiful hands

I don't have one - or does the avatar give me away?

You do? Finally, someone who loves beautiful hands! All of my friends think I'm weird. My brother's girlfriend has the worst hands ever...they're all dry and scaly and her thumb's rather large too.

Can that apply to men too, for us women to notice? I really get turned on by a guy with beautifully expressive hands. I love delicate and nicely formed hands, too. You could say I admire a good pair of hands! :lol: Seriously, hands can say a lot about a person - sensitivity, strength, expressiveness, creativity...etc.

Toes for thumbs; really are they toes? My aunt has some odd looking thumbs but I had never thought about it before. Maybe that is a genetic flaw or trait and maybe they are indeed toes. How funny! ..sort of sad of course for the person who has them.

[TheFifthElement]

The whole celebrity crush thing isn't so much about the looks for me - I mean, the whole handsome thing, yeah cool - but I don't really care for physical looks like that. It's a certain something.. they have to have. A type of charisma - that is what makes them attractive to me.

You know, Niamh, you finally hit on another actor I am crazy over, as well. I like mostly everything I have seen him in and I find him totally appealing and sexy, too. Of course, he is a little young for me, but in 'celeb-fantasyland' these stars are ageless. Joseph is a cutie pie indeed. Nice B/W photo you posted! I have some photos of him I should also share.

Dori, I think Keira Knightly looks odd in the photos posted on this page; she looks sort of plastic or fake. I don't care for those photos; sorry whoever posted them. I think she is ok looking, but not the prettiest woman out there, by far. Indeed, she does sort of look like a young boy sometimes. Her body looks so thin in those photos.

Leksandar who is this woman you posted? I think she has incredibly beautiful eyes and pretty lips; she's quite attractive.

Mono, Audery Hepburn can not be topped; she had her own unique sense of style and beauty. She is so lovely and her neck was so long and elegant they have compared it to a swan. I think she was entirely gorgeous, adorable, everything! Glad her films live on.

[Niamh]

Do you know how much we (as in you and me) have discussed Joseph Fiennes in this thread alone! :D

[Leksandar]

Janine: Zooey Deschanel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooey_Deschanel). You know her from the band «She & Him», and a fair amount of movies -- as a supporting character for the most.

[Niamh]

She is in Bridge to Terabithia, Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy and the movie (i'm boycotting because they completely changed what is actually a true story) yes man.
She is very pretty.

[Leksandar]

She can sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djg8EqrNbEU) pretty well too, at least *I* think so. I was actually planning to take a quick trip to Los Angeles to snap her up, marry her and so forth once I became a famous writer, but it seems she is engaged with this awful indie-rock musician now. Isn't life unfair?

[Nightshade]

she was in Tin man too, that was great, and here sister is in bones which I am completly addicted to :blush: :D

Thank you. I think I would do just about anything to bring back Audrey Hepburn, but only on the condition that she exchanged that famous dress she wore on Breakfast at Tiffany's for this one:

I approve! Tippi was lovely, as were most of Hitchcock's leading ladies.

Although I'm female and straight as an arrow, I think these are probably the two most beautiful women I have ever seen:

http://niralimagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/navi-rawat-2.jpg

Navi Rawat

http://www.ingridbergman.info/images/Ingrid%20Bergman/Ingrid%20Bergman.jpg

Ingrid Bergman


What I'd give to look like either of them...

[Janine]

I agree *C*C*. I especially love/admire Ingrid Bergman. I am 'straight as an arrow' too; however, I think when a woman can admire the beauty of another woman that shows a great sense of self confidence/security within themselves. I just might post a few woman I highly admire and think beautiful, too. I thought Grace Kelly had amazing looks - such beauty and class she had. You are totally right on that one - Hitchcock picked some gorgeous leading ladies.

[Zee.]

Keira has a beautiful face

On the subject of actresses from a earlier time - Edie Doyle from "On the Waterfront"

unfortunately I cant find a pic to do her justice

Hey Kilted, do you mean Eva Marie Saint? She was the actress who played Edie, I believe. I think if you look around online, you could find plenty of photos of her as she looked back then; of course, now she is much older. She still acts, I think. She was always a great actress.

Wessexgirl,Checked him out and he is cute. I just read that he is 38 and has 5 kids. He mentions the 5 kids on the Today Show segment. I loved "Camelot"; I own the old version with Richard Harris playing King A...love it so much; I saw him onstage playing the role with Vanesa Redgrave - wonderful! I forgot now who played Lance back then, but he was awfully cute.

Good find on your part. I had never heard of this guy before so I put some of the vids into my playlist.
