And to brag a bit :),
HOLLYWOOD SPY's has had more than
7,000 visitors this weekend (amazing
17,000 whole last week) so I'm guessing the apocalypse kept you at your homes :)
HOLLYWOOD SPY loves you and there's nothing you can do about it ;)
What IS Tom Cruise doing in that photo?
ReplyDeleteLiking the sound of Person of Interest.
And congrats on the visitor numbers, Dez. Very impressive.
Congrats Dez!! Hollywood Spy is THE place for for all the latest and greatest.
ReplyDeleteThat is a rather naughty pic of Tom Cruise. ;) I love it, gets my saucy mind a churning...
Ahem, you have introduced me to a very fine actor, Ben Whishaw. I must go find out more about him. Thank you, my friend. You know what I like for sure. ;))
Have a great evening, my friend.
@Michael
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I've just noticed the wet spot and his facial expression, is it what I think it is? :)
Thanks, it must be the apocalypse that made people stay at home and read their spy :)
@Melsy
thanks, my dear :)
I've just noticed the pic was naughty :) Hope no one will complain.
Ben Whishaw played the lead role in that amazing film PERFUME a few years ago which was based on the famous book. I think you would hugely enjoy that film if you haven't seen it so far, it's quite weird and bizarre :)
OBLIVION sounds great. It's a shame Tom Cruise will be in it. I think I'd prefer to see a fresher star.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of J.J. Abrams, but this Person of Interest sounds lame. We'll see.
ReplyDelete@Lyndy
ReplyDeleteyep, my point exactly :(
@Cheeseboy
that could be said for pretty much any crime/detective/cop show :)
I saw Perfume a while ago, but i've been wanting to re-watch it recently. I've actually thought about doing a Whishaw marathon depending on whats available for streaming on netflix.
ReplyDeleteI like the time span aspect of Cloud Atlas, and the cast looks great. I'd be interested to see that.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even looking at the photo of Tom Cruise. Bleh.
Congrats on your visitors!!
"Person of Interest" is a great concept. Caviezel has the looks and talent to be a TV star.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see Aronofsky is getting back behind the camera.
Tom Cruise is getting busy again. I second Malone. What the heck is he doing in that photo, lol?
Thanks, sweetie for the info on Ben. I'll definitely be checking out Perfume.
ReplyDeletewoo! Person of Interest sounds very interesting. I'll be looking for that one! And I'm just not touching that TC photo... LOL! :D <3
ReplyDeleteDespite the Tom Cruise angle, Oblivion is sounding pretty cool :) Lol, congrats on the stats. It's good to know that when Rapture threatens people have the right idea about where to go :D
ReplyDeleteOblivion sounds good, may have to check out the graphic novel.
ReplyDeleteI reckon Person of Interest could be a bit of me. When is it on? I need something to fill the void now Fringe and Supernatural have gone for the year.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the amazing hit rate!! Makes my little blog look like pond scum!
Keep it up my matey!!!
C
@Dirty
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen him much outside PERFUME and BRIGHT STAR, it would be nice to see him in more films, even though he is a bit of a cold actor, which I don't often like. But he does have a certain interesting charisma and plus he's European which I do like a lot :)
@Luanne
poor Tom Cruise, nobody wants to look at his picture :) but he does seem happy to be just on his own :)
@Matty
ReplyDeleteI've no idea what he is doing in the picture, one can only imagine :)
Caviezel didn't have a successful career on film, so maybe this could be his new chance, to do something on TV? I loved him in OUTLANDER even though it was kinda a rip off of PATHFINDER and 13TH WARRIOR :)
@Melsy
be sure to do it, I think you'd like it :)
@Leigh
ah, people it's not a naughty pic, he has his pants on :)))Although I can't guarantee anything for his zipper :)
@Jamie
ReplyDeleteyes, when end of days threatens, the only solution and comfort is HOLLYWOOD SPY :)
@Mr.Lurk
yep, as far as I heard, the graphic novel is quite beautiful visually
@Custie
PERSON OF INTEREST starts this Fall at CBS Thursdays at 9PM :) Not sure about Europe, I'm guessing Sky could buy it.
Hey, my blog had about 50 to 100 visitors two years ago at the beginning, you always start from the bottom and move up to the top :)
But since you have your own domain, you could use it to improve the number of readers, because sites score better at Google as far as I know.
Tom Cruise and sci-fi films. The beginning if a new ERA!
ReplyDelete@Dezzy I am having a taster of your success today. Post of mine got onto the IMDb Hitlist. Site is grinding to a halt under the pressure of the traffic!!
ReplyDeleteLOL
@HiFi
ReplyDeletehehe ... hope KAtie Holmes won't have anything to do in that era :)
@Custie
he he ... proud of you, which post exactly? Most of your posts deserve to appear at IMDB! I don't know how they make their hitlists, I've never tried to enter them, but with so many film sites I know it is a big success appearing at the mother of all movie sites IMDB :)
yeah... i always thought tom cruise was a jack-off. now you've provided pictorial evidence. case closed.
ReplyDeleteWhen you first mentioned Oblivion, I thought you were going to say it would be based on the video game of the same name. And while I have always thought a movie could be made about that world, Tom Cruise isn't the first name that comes to mind. But this story actually does intrigue me, and I can see Mr. Cruise in the role. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThose are some big names in Cloud Atlas - sounds good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment :D and haha that about Tom Cruise, I'm agree with you haha!! I'm following, follow me

Will check out Person but it sounds like a bit of a yawn.
ReplyDeleteNothing with Cruise, he doesn't interest me.
Love you, too, Dezz!! :) Hmm...Maleficent could be good. I heard somewhere that there were a lot of "Sleeping Beauty type books" out there right now. Figures a movie was just around the corner.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest could be good, too. I don't think I've seen Caviezel in anything lately...
@Vics
ReplyDeletehe he I see what you did there :))
@Eric
I think they chose Cruise because it is a very expensive film and they need someone who brings money all around the world, even though we're not exactly in love with Cruise.
@Suzy
there are some more names in the cast ... but I didn't mention all of them :)
@SickByTrend
ReplyDeletethanks for following us ;)
@Mary
I wonder which actors and films you do like, Mary :) I starting a new poll tomorrow and I think it might be the first one you like :)
@Donea
:) there are also a few SLEEPING BEAUTY films in preparation too :) SNOW WHITE likewise.
Person Of Interest sounds good, i'm a fan of Caviezel.
ReplyDeleteCaviezel is quite charismatic. He's been a few time here down at Balkans traveling with his wife who is a Bosnian, and since they are both extremely religious they come to visit some holy place in Herzegovina.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be paid $100 million for my sci-fi epic.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! I had no idea I was that negative. I'll try to do better.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if as soon as something is a success EVERY BODY DOES IT. (Like vampires and Zombies)
I think it's just that I bore easily.
@MPax
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind it either :)
@Mary
we can't stand vampires and zombies either :)
7000 hits just this weekend alone?? Wow, hats off to you Dezzy, that's great, congrats!
ReplyDeleteYay for Caviezel! I love him, he's such an underrated actor. I saw the trailer for his show, looks really good. There are 3 new shows I'm looking forward to this Fall and this is one of them.
Oh btw, why does Cruise look like he's in pain in that photo?? $100 mil is not enough for him? :D
ReplyDeleteyou have a few theories of mine on what he is doing in that picture in some of the above comments :)
ReplyDeleteYep, the number of comments has risen generally in last few days for some reason.
Caviezel is a lovely actor with angel eyes.
