Tardy

  I know I have not posted in a while. Actually February  was the last time I posted anything about Richard was his calendar for the month. So I know I need to try and catch up, in chronological order, on those and talk about him and make photo edits of Richard even from older photos. My job and tiredness should not be excuses but reasons that are true. I know many of you have the same kind of life of work and tiredness or chronic situations but you still manage to write your post. Maybe I am just too lazy or I have lost my some of my fire but I will try and do better by Richard and you.

P.S.  I miss his beard and even a five o'clock shadow.

The Hobbit Song - I Will Show You | GLOVER remix

Richard has this fan video, that is a tribute to The Hobbit and Peter Jackson, posted onto his Twitter account and that is where I found it. This tweet was posted on December 24th so I guess you could call this Richard's Christmas gift to his fans, as if he himself was not enough of a gift for us.

Richard Armitage Advent Calendar 20144 - Day 21

  Dear friend Gratiana Lovelace put this idea in my head with what she said about on Facebook on yesterday's Advent calendar post. She said that it reminded her of Ertha Kitt's video of 'Santa Baby'.
So because of that I give to you Santa Thorin Baby.

Peter Jackson Walk of Fame Ceremony

       For those of us who missed Sir Peter Jackson (weird to put "Sir" before his name) Variety has posted on their Youtube channel/page the event. Word of warning about half of the almost one hour video is empty seats and the presenter drones on, in my opinion,so try and skip ahead if you want.

                                                              

 

Richard Armitage Advent Calendar 2014 - Day 8

Somehow Thorin got a hold of Santa's Naughty and Nice Lists. He does not seem to pleased with the one he is on.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Official Trailer [HD]

      I am already teary eyed from The Hobbit: the Battle of the Five Armies trailer that was released earlier today. I am sad that it is the end of the entire The Hobbit/LOTR series. I don't think we will ever see any movies of these kind ever again, unless Peter Jackson has something to do with them.
                                                                          

                                                                                                                        

 

                                                

Armitage Ambush

  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

Richard Armitage INTERVIEW! Part One: The Hobbit and More! with Marlise Boaland

   Here it is! The Anglophiles Channels' Richard Armitage interview with Marlise Boaland, who I think is a hoot. Richard is very relaxed and fun-loving and a bit flirtatious...WONDERFUL! I think my most favorite moment is his adorably humble moment is when Richard finds out he beat out Tom Hiddleston as the favorite. Oh Richard. *sighs*                                                                                        

                   

RA Screen Test for Thorin

    Just found a post on Armitage Agonistes with this video of Richard doing his screen test for Thorin Oakenshield and thought I would share it. Nice way to spend almost 15 minutes.

                                 
                                     

Richard Armitage Advent Calendar - Day 23- December 23

  Apparently there is doubt among the rank and file dwarves and maybe a hobbit over the existence of Father Christmas. Thorin is telling them otherwise for he is a big believer in Father Christmas.

Richard Armitage Advent Calendar - Day 22 - December 22

  Late again I know. This time Thorin has made a return visit and he is looking for the Northern King of the Elves, Santa. That meeting may not go too good.

Richard Armitage Advent Calendar - Day 13 - December 13

  With today being the opening of The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug, I thought I would have Thorin an company wish us all a Merry Christmas, dwarf style. Drawing is not mine but the words are.

Richard Armitage Advent Calendar- Day 3 - December3

  Caught up on my days now. This picture is from the Book of New Zealand Event on November 30. Edited the photo before adding the Christmas theme to it. Enjoy.

Thorin Thursday #7

 I have found a couple of Thorin painting of Thorin at devianART and a set of Thorin pictures of Richard holding Ocrist on Tumblr. I could not decide on which one to post so I think I will give us all a treat and post them both. I will do the photos of Richard first.

  Now with the second picture, I know it wasn't supposed to,but my mind went into the gutter. Then as cheeky as Richard can be in hindsight he may have thought the same thing. I hope so. I know I can be so bad at times. Don't you just love his smile?

 This one from deviantART is heart tugging.

Tuchus Tuesday #23

From The Hobbit Extended Edition and posted by a Facebook friend I bring you,The Two Tuchus. One is Richard's tuchus in a saddle and the other is his horses tuchus, wearing the saddle.

  Richard looks so good in his saddle in his civvies. Sits up nice and straight in the saddle and that really emphasizes his wonderfully broad shoulders and thigh muscles. Scenery is not bad to look at either.

Chest Hair

Found on Facebook that was found on Tumblr. The one on Facebook is from Karine RA.

 Open Shirt! Richard! CHEST HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! S**T!!!!! And I don't mean SOOT either. May also add HOLY F*ING to it. I don't talk like this, really I don't. It is all Richard's doing.

Stroke the chest hair. Stroke the chest hair. And the hair on his head too.At the same time.

Oh G_d...I am gone. I am sooooo GONE! DAMN YOU, RICHARD!! Why do you have to be so gorgeous to begin with and then to have wonderfully natural hairy chest that I want to stroke and nuzzle and play with and every thing else to it?

The Hobbit Dwarves: Before and After Make-Up (The One Ring)

  I don't know if this has been already and if it has been, sorry I don't remember. But over at The One Ring. net Demosthenes has done a side by side of all 13 actors as themselves and as their characters.

Here are a few, starting with uncle and nephews and one or two more.

 

Never really noticed before how sexy Graham McTavish is as well. Like his smattering of chest hair.
