Santiago Cabrera, is coming back again!

Wow, the BBC is active. The Jamaica Inn looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI kew you would like that one, Masy
DeleteI have always adored the Arthurian Legends but I'm sick to death of the gazillion TV and film versions over the last few years. Enough already! BUT, having said that, I will check out Guy Ritchie's take on these myths just because he always brings a fresh, new and sometimes startling interpretation to things.
ReplyDeleteI'm personally never sick of Arthur :) And we need some big historical films to conquer over cinemas from horrid super heroes :) I just hope he doesn't cast some Hollywood idiots in the lead roles
DeleteI agree with Ann that it would be nice to see something new and unique that hasn't been done to death but...I'll have to check this out since I can resist anything Arthurian.
DeleteHope he doesn't cast some drug addicts or pop stars in it
DeleteOoooh I'm excited about The Fall. And for so many reasons, Jamie and Colin being just two of them. I adore Brit detective shows. I don't think there are any I haven't seen. Right now I'm re watching "New Tricks" which is about 3 retired detectives who come back to work on closed cases. They are so cute, getting into trouble doing things their old school way. I just love those guys.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you enjoying them, dear :) There are a number of new crime and detective shows coming to BBC and other UK channels in the near and far future.
DeleteI like their detective shows because they aren't very violent and more about characters and solving a puzzle.
Deletethey even have a show about a priest who works as a detective LOL
DeleteYay! The Fall was one of my favorite new shows last year. Great acting in that.
ReplyDeleteAnd BBC is doing some of the best programming on television right now. :)
I didn't like the writing in most of their recent series but I do support and love BBC and British and European channels as opposed to the trash that comes from US television stations. It's just a whole other culture and values and morals
DeleteI had to have some trees cut down in my yard as the storms brought branches into my yard and the neighbors. Right now I've got three young, sexy men working just outside my window. I've got to find more work for them so I can keep them around all Spring. Wish you were here :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there too, dear :) We could've offered to wash their sweaty clothes, dear, while they flex their muscles in the yard in their undies.
DeleteHave you recovered from snow? We've been all Spring for months now... all the spring flowers have already finished blooming
The only flowers here that have bloomed are Daffodils. No tulips, no phlox nothing. The Dogwood trees haven't even bloomed. We're way behind season here.
DeleteI lost most of the garden that was planted under that big tree we had to cut down. I still have one rosebush and the bulbs survived, but that's it. I'll have to begin dividing some of what I have in the other gardens and transplant them. We still have the stump and I'm to put a bird feeder and bird bath on it. Kitty Fang will love it!!
Sounds like you will have hands full or gardening work this year, dear, and I know you will enjoy it! What's the status on the house? You will not be able to move any time soon?
DeleteWe've another court date set for April 24th. We'll see if it happens as they've managed to have three others rescheduled so far this year. About a week before the date, they either file a motion to delay or their lawyers "quit". We are trying to learn not to hope anymore as we just get upset.
Deletedamn manipulators! I will never understand how can some people sleep with their guilty conscience.....
DeleteWhat... no picture of Salma? How can that be?
ReplyDeleteyes, that is what i was thinking.
Deleteher pic was posted in the post which first mentioned the story :)
DeleteAh!
Delete'tis true....
DeleteIs she coming.... too?
Deletenot any time soon
DeleteHow depressing.
DeleteI forgot who we're talking about in the meantime :)
DeleteBrody has a body? I never knew.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't? But I did my best for years to spread the knowledge about it to the masses :)
DeleteJamaica Inn, looks fab!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I never associated Adrien Brody with having a 'body' either! Love him ... and excellent actor :)
Have a good weekend, Dezzy!
there's another follower who doesn't read the spy regularly :) I've posted tones of his naked pics over the years :)
DeleteOn bended knee, I apologise, good sir :)
Deletenow go and stare at his abs as punishment until you repent...
DeleteIt's officially Saturday in your part of town and... if I remember correctly IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY. So...
ReplyDelete#HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
TO YOU
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DEZZZZZZZZYYYYYYY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUUU #
May this year be better than the last!
it is :) Thanks, Sir Randy Mandy! Where's the cake, where are the strippers?
DeleteIt's your birthday??? You should have said! Forget about the cake, where's the champagne and strawberries?
DeleteHappy Birthday, Dezzy! xo
How many strippers can you handle? I don't want want you to exert yourself on your birthday. I might feel responsible, you know...
DeleteSo now it's champagne, strawberries and strippers?
Delete@Wendy
Deletethanks :)
@Blue
Deletethe more the merrier is my rule :)
I like that rule. Except when it's Facebook.
Deleteyou should just join the Facebook and see what it is all about
DeleteNever heard of Jamaica Inn but it's suppose to be based on a book.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you post about it on June 14 last year? No?
DeleteI did a number of times, Blue, but Adam has a bit of a grandpa memory :)
DeleteAll those facts are messing up his computer.
Delete'tis true... and I hear he plays golf ....
DeleteHappy Birthday Dezzy! Enjoy enough cake for the both of us :)
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the champagne, strawberries AND strippers. Ask Wendy.
Delete@Theresa
Deletethanks, dear, no cake for me, haven't made any this year
@Blue
Deletecan I get blueberry juice instead of champagne?
Of course. But only because it's your birthday. Blueberry juice is hard to come by these days.
DeleteI sincerely hope you didn't take that one ambiguously :) I just realized it could have a double meaning.
DeleteI read Jamaica Inn years ago....looking forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeletehope it won't disappoint
DeleteHappy birthday Dezzy!
ReplyDeleteSeptember in Shiraz sounds like a gripping story.
thanks, Arni!
DeleteThanks so much for all this! I, for one, am happy to see the release of historically based movies. I am really tired of what is being released these days. Seriously, it seems that there are more movies being released these days that are based on comic books rather than books.
ReplyDeletewe are one of world's leading centrals on historical movies and shows, Pat!
DeleteThat's a nice pic of Adrian Brody. I'm actually not excited about the King Arthur thing that's getting put out. If it doesn't star a young cute Arthur that's blond, I just won't have it.
ReplyDeleteI have a number of such pics of him in my secret vaults....
DeleteWe pray that he doesn't hire Clooney or that drug junkie Downey as Arthur..... spits over his shoulder. ....
I wonder if he will steal Kit Harington and Joel Kinnaman for his cast... they were supposed to star in a rival project
DeleteHappy Birthday, sweetheart. I hope you had a beautiful day. I'm so sorry I was late with my wishes. Hugs and kisses, my friend. May this year be one of dreams coming true.
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of a new Arthur project, though I do miss Merlin very much. I'm so happy Colin has found more projects. He is so talented.
I had a horrid B-day as usually, but this year is mine in Chinese zodiac so I hope better things await me
