I went looking through some of the older post labels and found 'Munchable Monday' from almost exactly two years ago and have decided to try and resurrect it. Hope to be more on the ball about it than I have been of blogging, writing or whatever you would like to phrase it, than I have been of late. Very much of late.
I look at this post as a true tiny step into getting back into the swing of things (unless inundated with new things of Richard).
Now for this 'Munchable Monday' entry. I am feeling a connection with Ricky Deeming this day and decided to share a cup of coffee with him. That and I need only a little leather today.
A clip of The Crucible is shown in the video that is courtesy of The Anglophile Channel . It is mesmerizing. Powerful. Heartbreaking. Intimidating. This production is begging to be shown on television like The Hollow Crown or King Lear. I also happen to think that it will be a travesty if Richard Armitage is not at least nominated for an Olivier. Be great if he could win it.
A man getting dressed has never been sexier. Jazz music and Richard in this video are the perfect couple. I have no idea how many times I have drooled over watched the video.
Release today is the 'Into the Storm' second trailer. From what little dialogue I hear Richard's Amercian accent is good. Plus I like Scott Lawrence, who is the principal giving the commencement speech.
Some of the comments I have read about the movie is that it Twister on steroids. So what! The movie looks good. I don't know if it will be shown in 3-D but if it is, it ought to be a wild ride.
The Old Vic Theatre has released 51 new photographs of the rehearsal for The Crucible today on their Facebook page. Richard is in a grey round-necked t-shirt and sweatpants and in others a black V- neck t-shirt that shows a hint of chest hair. *THUD* Yes, I am very happy about the chest hair. He is in dark sweatpants with the black t-shirt.
So without further adieu here are some of the pictures posted by The Old Vic.
I will gladly trade places with her!
Our studious Richard
A quick cropping of the above photo to see the hint of chest hair.
I originally saw this at Perry's Armitage Agonistesblog. It is Richard with wonderfully whacked off hair strolling through JFK Airport a few days ago. Richard is back to having the "Thorin" look the buzz cut and beard. Or maybe Comic Con 2013? Except in this newest one I keep thinking I see a few stray hairs sticking up but it is more than likely me. And I like it. I guess he has had short hair and beard for these last few years that it now seems normal and a bit of jolt when his hair is longer. Don't get me wrong I will always love his Sir Guy look but this look just looks freer for him.
Also, Richard is starting to look a bit like Graham McTavish, too. Once again, it's more than likely just me. He did, however, look like he needs to sleep for the rest of the month in order to be ready to play John Proctor.
After have been away from Tuchus Tuesday for quite awhile now and that is because, ashamed to admit this, but I have not been inspired. My mood has been off balance for what I deem a while and Richard's tuchus was not even helping. However, I have suddenly been hit by his inspiration on a friend's post on Twitter, that is originally on Tumblr. So eagle mother thank you for helping me.
All I will say is that, unless my ears are mistaken and I don't think they are, the director Steven Quale can not pronounce "Armitage" correctly when introducing Richard. Bravo *claps slowly*. Have a raspberry Mr. Quale. I wonder if he's missing the letter "Y" in HIS last name?
It has been confirmed and announced that our Richard Armitage will be portraying John Proctor in the Arthur Miller play The Crucible, June 24 to September 13, 2014, with press night July 9, at London's Old Vic Theatre. The play is to be directed by South African director Yael Faber.
This will be London's first major revival of The Crucible since the 2010 Regent's Park production, and follow the Young Vic's production of another Arthur Miller play, A View From the Bridge, which is still playing.
The Crucible will also star Anna Madely, Samantha Colley, Sarah Niles, Rebbecca Saire and Zara White.
For what seemed like forever, there had been nothing new in the way of images and news of Richard Armitage and then...WHAM!!The Armitage Ambush. This is when we get inundated with new images and new of and from Richard. First it starts with the teaser of a teaser trailer of Into the Storm .
No. Actually I think the Armitage Ambush may have started back in January with Pinter/Proust.
THEN on March 27th came Into the Storm photo and the teaser trailer, as seen first.
Then on March 28th there was CinemaCon in Las Vegas, in which Richard went to and promoted Into the Storm. Love the hair and the clothes. Thank goodness the shoes don't cut his legs off at the ankle like a certain beige pair. Also still think that he looks like Chris Noth in some of these pictures.
The Armitage Ambush continued on March 30th when the Jameson Empire Awards, that I unfortunately missed but have found some great videos on my own and with help of internet friends, took place.
And Richard is also very proud of his sword. Yes he said that about Ocrist, but he was being cheeky about it.Link to the interview where Richard says this. Naughty boy.
The Ambush continued on with an interview on ITV's This Morning program on March 31st. Maybe he wasn't recuperated enough from the day before and that would explain why he shortened Thorin by a foot.
Just when I thought the coast was clear...BOOM! Ambushed again by Richard in the BBC Midlands Today interview with Geeta Pendse, yesterday April 2nd. BBC East Midlands Today
Promoting Into the Storm in Las Vegas at CinemaCon 2014 we have Richard coming from England and filming Urban and the Shed Crew and looking a bit like Chris Noth (in my and at least one other lady's opinion). Richard Armitage US has photos of Richard that are about to do me in (glad I have a pacemaker/defibrillator to help me).
Have a boatload of smelling salts and pillows at the ready before looking at his Gorgeousness.
Admittedly I am not all that impressed with the trailer for Into the Storm. It is lacking people, dialogue and heart. Hope the movies better and that Warner Bros. just doesn't know what it is doing in trying to promote the movie.
Some screen caps that I took and enlarged a bit and edited as best as I could from Into the Storm and the originals for Tuchus Tuesday. Plus the first official picture from the movie from Nathan Kress' twitter tweet.. Also, a certain someone snipped out of the picture and standing all by his lonesome.
