I like Kelly MacDonald. I've seen her in at least four things. State of Play was really good. I don't recognize most of the other people.
ReplyDeletehad to Google her to see who she was :) I myself adore Rafe Spall
DeleteGod, I love Gwendoline Christie in GOT. And GreenGlass House looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like that one!
DeleteBrienne of Tarth is going to be in Star Wars?
ReplyDeleteyes, she will wield some laser swords..... She is also in both MOCKINGJAYS...
DeleteMockingjay... Stupid book, stupid movie, stupid title. But I did give them a try.
Deleteno, you didn't! You did? You read YA?
DeleteOne can only have an opinion when one has read slash seen them. And my opinion is.... stupid books, stupid movies, especially part 3.
Deleteimagine having to translate them like someone here :)
DeletePure torture plus I'd charge them extra for stealing some of your brain cells.
Deletein my dreams... the charging extra part.... I'm lucky when I get 500E for a whole book.....
DeleteI hope Gwendoline's character is stronger in Sparrow than it is in GoT.. I'd like to see her save somebody.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed!
DeleteThe Greenglass house sounds like a fun novel.
ReplyDeletekids seem to adore it
DeleteGwendoline Christie is kinda lovely in this photo... such a character change from GoT....
ReplyDeleteOh... MARCO!
DeleteIt wasn't easy to find a photo in which she looks decent... she has some extremely strange photoshoots :) and she ain't shy posing full naked....
DeleteHmmm, haven't even heard of Greenglass House, but now I am going to have to hunt for it at the library. Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeletehope you find it :)
DeleteGwendoline Christie is a Goddess. I would watch her in anything.
