Another Scottish actor I always associated with McAvoy is Ewan McGregor. I just love those Scottish accents, too. I will have to come up with some good photos of Ewan soon or ask my friend, Haunted if she can, since she is a big McGregor fan.Quote:

If he has dropped out of life, at least I have his old movies to watch. Yes, he is very 'smexy' indeed, Bakiryu
Maybe I should watch his movies because in these photos he reminds me of Harry Potter (without the glaasses, of course).Quote:

What!!! Scottish accent is way better than an Irish accent! We have some knackery accents.Quote:

I actually love the film he did with a lot of knackery accents - "The Shadow of a Gunman", I am just viewing it again (3rd or 4th time) on Youtube. I just read the O'Casey play as well and loved it; remember that you recommended it to me. I bought the book of plays - can't wait to read another - probably "The Plow and the Stars" will be next. The Billy plays were very Irish and I loved them; have you seen those - that stared a very very young KB. Of course, some of the characters, I could not fully understand, until I heard the actors say their lines a few times. I am sure you would probably not understand me at times either, with my 'states' accent and slang. ;):lol:Quote:

I was on the thread last night, went to get an ecard, and forgot (duh) to get back with my greeting. If it is not too late tonight, I may make it back to post something fun.
I'm constantly surrounded by Knackery accents. I'm from Dublin after all! :D We have more accents than England and a lot of them arent nice!!
I alway forget he's Irish...
Read Juno and the Peacock next. :nod:
I forgot to mention that i love your celt cross!
yes, that accent, I die for a Scottish accent. it's James McAvoy, scher. and he does look boyish, (or we are just getting old :p)and he's a little odd looking, and Idril pointed out to me that he's a mere 5' 7"; but he claims you through pure force of personality; nothing like David Tennant, but something like him in that aspect.
oops, I somehow missed this entire page...just commenting on Janine's mention of Ewan Macgregor.....5 capital MMMMM's. :p
and the truth about Joaquin on Letterman has yet to be revealed, very odd, that.
5'7 is tall to me! :D
I'm 5' 7". but I wouldn't let it stop me, I'd just wear flip-flops, or better yet, be barefoot. ;)
Well i'm 5'2" so he's tall enough for me! :D
indeed he is, and you are no doubt many years younger than he is, which is also in your favor. :)
I guess being surrounded with the Irish accent is the reason you don't think very highly of it. Otherwise, I think it is great, I think. I have an Irish friend who can "reduce" her accent when she chooses to but I always make her speak with the proper accent.Quote:

Hey, Niamh and Riesa, I beat both of you. He and you would definitely be tall to me. I am only 5ft....I may have even shrunk a little by my age...eek. I think McAvoy will have that boyish look for some time. I don't know how old he is; anyone know? Yeah, if you find out about that Letterman deal, let me know - it was just so weird.
Niamh, thanks for the compliment on the Celtic cross. Did you see my profile page? I did it all green and Celtic for St.Patrick's Day. It was fun changing it. I will keep it a bit longer since I love the greens, but then I will change it to a more spring-like theme. I meant to tell you that I noticed right away your change in avy and I liked it. I will have to check out your profile page - maybe some changes there as well? Sorry I missed the Irish party the other night. I am sure it was fun. I think all the beer was gone by the time I got there to peak in. Virgil had written me a short note that it was in progress and send me the link to the thread, but I did not get it till later that night since I was out.
It is funny about all those accents. Of course, there are different ones in the US as well. I can imagine Ireland beating England on accents though. Even in that one set of TV plays - "The Billy Plays" all the characters had different sounding accents. It could get a bit confusing at times. The uncle had the heaviest one and the kids sometimes were hard to understand but I really enjoyed listening to them. Their accents were charming to me. I guess Branagh had no problem going back to his native accent. He motified that to a great extend when he was about 9 and his family moved to England. That is probably why you forget he is Irish.
Good, I will read the O'Casey you recommend. I read a short synopsis on that particular one and it did sound like it would interest me.
Riesa, you said it - definitely 5 capital MMMMM's for Ewan!!! He is just so cute and his acting is always superb.
Mr Robert Downey Jr is a fine man. ;)
I agree. I have always liked him. He was incredible in "Chaplin" and he is making such a fine come-back lately in several films. I can't wait to see him in the new Sherlock Holmes film. I heard he was great in "Ironman". I haven't seen that one yet. I loved him in a romantic comedy with Marissa Tomei - I can't recall the name of that movie presently, but it was a really cute film. He was so appealing in it.Quote:

Their heavenly beings in the guise of handsome mortals clad in Armani suits.
Oh what kind of female is she who can resist their sweet smiles and their irresistible music?

hehe. Dvaid Miller's my favorite among the four of them. Next is Carlos Marin.:blush:
and as old people are wont to do, beginning to live in a happier version of reality. :pQuote:

:lol: I'd start with Becoming Jane, which was the first one I watched with him. (besides The Chronicles of Narnia, but as goat-men go, Tumnes is definitely not one of your more smexy versions. :lol: I love that word.) I had very low expectations with that movie, but Anne Hathaway surprised me.Quote:

Have you seen David Tennant in Casanova? If you have, and you still don't like him, than it's probably a lost cause.
I wouldn't waste rotten tomatoes throwing them at you, that's what the compost pile is for. :p
Tomato, tomato!Quote:

I dunno, I think John Steinbeck had beautiful big blue eyes.
I found this out today.
I've had that experience too, it's all well and good while you still find him fascinating, but as soon as he starts to annoy you in other ways, that particular shortcoming really begins to stand out. ;) :lol:Quote:

Please tell us why, if there is a specific reason.
I've always had a crush...and still do...on Julia Roberts.
She's very attractive and seems like she has a very fun personality.
My friends think I'm strange for ignoring young scamps like Orlando Bloom, Zac Efron, and Shia LaHoweverYouSpellIt (though I think Will Moseley is quite a handsome young man) for fellows like Hugh Laurie, Jeff Goldblum and Dean Martin. ;)
Dean Martin...does that mean you like old movies?
I do not suppose Carlos Marin has any relation to Cheech Marin? :lol:Quote:

Some, not all. :)Quote:

Joseph Fiennes
Heath Ledger (:bawling:)
James Franco
Orlando Bloom
James MacAvoy
Dave Grohl
Taylor Hawkins
Hugh Grant (its those eyes!!)
Johnny Depp.
I can't believe I forgot Hugh Grant! I have to add him to my list. And Patrick Wilson looked great in "Phantom of the Opera" the other night.
Me too; years ago it was Omar Sharif; of course, I fall in love again if seeing his "Dr.Z" or "Funny Girl"; back then it was also Richard Chamberlain, not only as Dr. Kildare, but then when he did the miniseries "Shogun", topped it off with "The Thornbirds". It was Alan Bates too. I loved him in "Georgy Girl".Quote:

I am dying to see his new BBC TV Crime series "Wallander"; even though they make him look beat and depressed in the show; his performance is amazing. Already, he has won awards for it. The man is a genius!
Lately, I have been drooling over Rufus Sewell. I must see all his films eventually. He is usually great at dark brooding dramas, but lately he has done a comedy for the 'BBS Shakespeare Revisited' series; which is totally hilarious and charming, "Taming of the Shrew". You can catch the segments on Youtube. I must watch it again; I laughed and laughed and loved it.
I also love Ewan McGregor (his earlier films mostly); I just saw "Middlemarch" and "Far From the Madding Crowd" and think Colin Firth's younger brother, Jonathan was gorgeous in those. I love Joseph Fiennes, too, Niamh...films such as "Shakespeare in Love" and "Luther"; and I have an audio recording of him playing "Romeo"....very nice voice and adorable looks. I also like Ciaran Hinds and Steven Machintosh. Ciaran's great in the A&E version of "The Mayor of Casterbridge"; Steven Machintosh is soo cute and appealing in "The Land Girls", a film I love. I also love the guy who played in the film "Room with a View"....blond, I can't think of his name now. He was beautiful to look at.
Have I bored you all thoroughly by now? Just an old lady's fantasy ravings....:lol:
Edit: oh gosh, I forgot to add Hugh Grant, too. He was adorable in "Sense and Sensibility"; I also found Alan Richman totally appealing in that film.
The one and only Johnny Depp. I just got so carried away by his free style and dont care attitiude... He has been an all time Crush... Love you Johnny...... Drooling all over (blush blush )
I must say, Audrey Hepburn :blush:
