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 promoting DOS Trailer October 1st

 
 I think Richard's voice got me pregnant again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Trailer #2

  Earlier this morning Warner Bros. released The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug  second movie trailer and this time we get to see more of Thorin and HEAR  Benedict Cumberbatch's computer enhanced voice as Smaug the Worm (Dragon).                                                                                           

 After having watched the movie trailer about a half dozen times or so, it has left me with a couple of thoughts at the moment.
1) Desolation of Smaug does not need to be shown in 3D because in normal 2D I want to jump out of my skin.

2) I can not believe I am going to make this admission, but for the first time since Gremilins, Smaug makes me want to go to the movie theater and watch it. Whether I will or not is another matter.

  My feeling is that The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is going to be so much better than The Hobbit that it leaves me with this question : If The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is this good, On what scale of good is There and Back Again going to be?

                                               

Richard Armitage - Pour Some Sugar on Me

        Fresh off the video presses to make your Friday the 13th better, a Richard Armitage fan video set to Def Leppard's 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' by lotorsgurl. The video and song are ran back-to-back to make it 7minutes and 46 seconds long. But who cares? I don't. This video also works for Guyday because there is more pictures of Guy than any other of Richard's characters. 
                                                                                                                                                            

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG, Production Diary 11

Released today by Mr. Hobbit man himself, Sir Peter Jackson. Love the Dwarvicise  part of it, granted it would have been better with Richard in it. The make-up & hair designer, Peter King, looks a bit like Colonel Sanders, of Kentucky Fried Chicken, but with a full beard instead of a goatee. Oh and there is some more Dwarf Boot Camp but again, no Richard. Bright side there is Graham McTavish, Dean O'Gorman, Aidan Turner and Stephen Hunter. Luke Evans, looking like Orlando Bloom's Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean and Mandy Patkin's Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride, also makes an appearance.


                               

Richard Armitage reads Winnie in Winter

Going through my email and this video was shared on the Richard Armitage community board.This is another CBeebies Bedtime Stories from October 2006 in which Richard reads us a bedtime story called Winnie in Winter .It is a sweet story about a witch named Winnie and her cat Wilbur who one cold winter day decide they have enough of the cold and snow and want it to be summer. At this point Richard waves a wand about (insert very nice dirty thought you have here) and said a magical word and it was summer in Winnie's garden and every person came to enjoy it. I'm spoiling it for y'all, I'm sorry, I'll let Richard tell it. But one last thing at the end oh my Guy! To have Richard tell me it is time to snuggle up in bed too and night, night,sleep tight, especially if he's there would be such a good sleep

                                                        

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Featurette - New Zealand (2013) - Lo...

   Beautiful scenery in this video, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Featurette, it is beautiful to watch and listen to and can make one wish they could win the lottery and go there. Plus Richard is in the first few seconds of the video first as the majestic Thorin and then Richard as his majestic self.                                                                               

                                                                                                                                             

The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug Trailer

  We have The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug video. Maybe the Wednesday release is/was for Australia and New Zealand  because it is up on Youtube here in the States and I am happy to see it. I just hope that when I see the movie I don't flip Thranduil in public like I did in when i watched the trailer. Unfortunately Thorin got some of the middle finger because he came on screen quicker than I was expecting. Sorry Thorin. Orlando Bloom's Legolas makes his appearance as does Evangeline Lilly's Tauriel and Luke Evans' Bard the Bowman, who looks like both Bloom's 'Will Turner' and Mandy Patinkin's Princess Bride character 'Inigo Montoya'. There really isn't much to see of Smaug which is good keep it like Khan in Star Trek and keeps us in suspense.

  
   
             

Richard Armitage for Alpha Romeo UK TV ad

 I never knew that Richard did a commercial for Alpha Romeo until a few minutes ago. He talks very fast but if your doing something for an Alpha Romeo I guess you better be fast.

Richard Armitage and Alpha Romeo, a dangerous combination.

Richard Armitage Popcorn Taxi Q&A :The Video

      I finally got the video for Eichard's Popcorn Taxi Q & A.  Can not, for whatever reason get it like I normally do onto blogger but Youtube has a link to Blogger and it posts the video that way. Well hopefully. So if this thing takes this time I hope you enjoy it.
                                                                                                                                                                    

Richard Armitage - A Few Mins From the Popcorn Taxi Q&A

I don't think was supposed to have happened,  but a two minute and some seconds video of Richard Armitage's Q & A with Popcorn Taxi was made and was posted sometime on May 3, 2013. Next best thing to being there.

Richard Armitage - Acting is a Painful Process

This video came from my Twitter feed and Tumblr dashboard from the lovely Crystal Chandlyre. Now like her I am not advocating harm to Richard Armitage and nor do I condone any kind of injury to him. There is a warning that goes with it, but if you've watched enough of Richard's acting you've seen it before. This is just a compilation of some of what could be interpreted as, okay they are, bondage scenes, which like I stated before we should have seen it before, at least some of them at one time or another. But Chandlyre did post a warning on the video and on her Youtube page on the 'About' section and it is as follows :

"NSFW/NSFS - Be aware that the following scenes are non-consensual in context and outcomes implied are completely fictional. There is partial upper body male nudity, with images of a man being completely objectified.

If the above offends you, or you don't like being teased, please step away from this video.

Please be aware, and know, that I do not condone injury to, or imply that I wish harm to, the Actor Richard Armitage, in ANY way.

He is acting, and I am appreciating. Hope you appreciate it as well.

Duran, Duran - The Chauffeur "

 So enjoy... I know I did.

Inspector Lynley - In Divine Proportion

The entire episode of Richard Armitage in 'Inspector Lynley: In Divine Proportion'. With Richard in the episode divine proportion is a good description.

Richard Armitage Exclusie Interview by Monsieur Hollywood

I was playing around on Youtube watching and listening to Robert Plant and Jimmy Page from 1995 in New Orleans, when I noticed that there were videos of Richard on the side. One of these videos is from December, just before 'The Hobbit came out, by Monsieur Hollywood. Questions seemed a little different, I guess mainly the question concerning t.v. and movies.

But Richard sounds wonderful and I can agree  a bit with a commenter, he does have a John Thornton thing going on a little with his open neck dress shirt and dark blazer.

Harry Says Thank You for Visting for FanstRAvaganza 4

 At first I didn't think I would be able to pull it off, writing and posting pictures for FanstRAvaganza 4, but I surprised myself and think I did a decent job of it and apparently y'all think so as well. So for everyone who has stopped  by and visited my post and to those who have left messages, thank you.

As a Thank You Gift, if you would like to call it that, are pictures of a neglected, but not for long, Harry Kennedy. I realized only today that I have shamefully neglected to put any pictures of him up. So with that being said...HEEERE'S...HARRY!!!

 

Harry and books, two of my favorite things.

Harry and more books. Oh and Geraldine and Alice. 

Hello Handsome!

I want Harry to help me with my taxes too.

 

Harry looking a sweet and adorkable.

The lovebirds on a stroll

 Another pair of glasses

I don't know why it's just that he can cause a squeeing fit. Maybe it's the tussled hair, the leather jacket, the sweater/jumper, scar,f his nose( Oh I love his nose) and his smile. His smile is the cherry on top.

The proposal

 

Hugh Bonneville (his character anyway) marrying Harry and Geraldine

The love in his eyes

 And the kiss

Yes I know I went overboard. It didn't start out this way...Honest! It's just that one thing led to another and well...*SIGH*.

And now to go even more overboard- Vicar of Dibley : The Handsome Stranger

And of course-  The Vicar of Dibley : The Vicar in White

Master & Servant

You may have heard that on March 6 there was this little event on Twitter that had Richard answering a few questions. Now one of the questions, from GizGunslinger, was : "Do you like#DepecheMode? I won't believe if not, cause their songs greatly match with your characters#AskThorin". 
And Richard's answer was "Richard: Yes. I would like to know which one you think fit his character. Master and servant." To me it can really work good for Guy.

  So even though I had never heard of the song and had this piece of information, I did not go to find out any information about it, but a dear Twitter friend, who I will call 'Boots', did and for whatever stupid reason I did not immediately follow her link to the lyrics of Master & Servant. But when I finally did decide to follow the link and read the lyrics, I knew I had to go to Youtube to find the video. When I did find the Master & Servant video that I liked I had the thought of posting it for FanstRAvaganza 4, but forgot about it by the next day and had forgotten about the song until today at lunch. I don't why I remembered Master & Servant at this time but I did and I knew when I got home I would have to start working on a Master & Servant post as soon as I could.

So with Richard as the Master and I/us as his Servant I give to you, Depeche Mode - Master & Servant:

MASTER & SERVANT 

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

Like life

There's a new game

We like to play you see

A game with added reality

You treat me like a dog

Get me down on my knees

We call it master and servant

We call it master and servant 

It's a lot like life

This play between the sheets

With you on top and me underneath

Forget about equality

Let's play master and servant

Let's play master and servant

It's a lot like life

(It's a lot like life)

And that's what's appealing

If you despise that throwaway feeling

(It's a lot like life)

From disposable fun

Then this is the one

Domination's the name of the game

In bed or in life

They're both just the same

Except one your fulfilled 

At the end of the day

Let's play master and servant

Lets play master and servant

Come on

Come on 

Master and servant

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot 

It's a lot

It's a lot

Like life

It's a lot 

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's alot

It's a lot

(Master and servant)

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

It's a lot

Like life

It's a lot like life 

(It's a lot like life)

And that's what's appealing

If you despise that throwaway feeling

(It's a lot like life)

From disposable fun

Than this is the one

(Come on)

Let's play master and servant

(Come on)

Come on, master and servant

(Come on)

Let's play master and servant

(Come on)

Come on, master and servant

(Come on) 

Let's play master and servant

(Come on) 

Come on, master and servant

(It's a lot, it's a lot)

(Come on)

Come on, master and servant

(It's a lot, it's a lot)

Critiquing a Tweeting Richard

Some of you may have heard of a Twitter event that took place Wednesday concerning a certain dwarf who, in the end, brought along another dwarf and Gollum. Yes, Richard, along with James Nesbitt and Andy Serkis, made his (Richard) Twitter debut on The Hobbit site and you could tell it was Richard's first time.

  My critique of Richard's first time on Twitter maybe harsh and hopefully not too crude but it's the only way I can think of it, Wednesday's Twitter event was like a bad date with bad sex with maybe a few good highlights. Hear me out, please.

The night before seemed to be full of wonderful promises that if  I sent in my questions to #AskThorin we would have many answered but like a bad date I had no pick up time or meet time. THAT should've been the first clue it wasn't going to be as good as hoped. So get up Wednesday morning and check Twitter to see if there is now a time. No such luck but you do find that my date will be showing up that morning with a couple of friends. Great. Now don't get me wrong they're nice but you were hoping for something a little more intimate the last thing you want is his friends showing up. So hours pass and I'm waiting for them to show up and when they FINALLY arrive, nothing. Just sit there with crickets chirping in the background is all you get. And it's like now what? Somebody say something. I for one am wanting to tell them to get off their cans and say something. Eventually my dates friends say a couple of things, which is nice but I really want to hear from my date. Actually, I want the other two to leave so it can just be the two of us but it's not going to happen. Well actually they do seem to make them scarce for bit and finally after waiting four hours of nothing, hope springs. But then he's really not finding the right spot no matter how much he tries and I want to help a rapid mass starts come out and some of what you date does isn't half bad once he figures out what to do, but then it's over just as soon as things started going good. It is a case of WHAM! BAM! THANK YOU, MA'AM! Get what he wants and leaves me unsated. And I'm saying what the Hell? Thanks alot Darlin'! You wasted time trying to find the right way to do it and when you finally do it right, it's a friggin' rush job. I love you dearly, but damn that was disappointing.

Yes there were some highlights like wanting to go to Machu Picchu, climb Mt. Everest,that your favorite dessert is chocolate ice cream and that when asked if he likes Depeche Mode's Master and Servant. The last two are really the ones that can set an imagination on fire and mine is still burning with ideas and no outlet. I wish he would have flirted.

So I hope I made some sense to y'all and didn't leave you disappointed like Richard did me.

Richard III: King in the Car Park

For those of us that have no way of viewing the Channel 4 documentary
Richard II: The King in the Car Park I found it uploaded for "Research & Educational purposes"on youtube. I for one would like to be educated on the finding of Richard III and thought that others that have not stumbled across it may like to be educated on the subject matter as well.  Also there is going to be a follow up documentary made by the same people that produced Richard III: King of the Car Park. It is said to be called Richard III: The Unseen Story and will tell the tale of the archeological work that led to the identification of Richard III.

Here is the full program and I hope you enjoy it.

That Guy - Guy of Gisborne

Thanks to Sinjoor for putting the link up to wattapad that has the lyrics to Tori Amos' song 'That Guy', a very apt song for our Guy of Gisborne. Not only do we get the lyrics but also a youtube video of Guy and Marian. Now close to the beginning Guy and Marion are in a modern day casino and I swear at around the 23 second mark, he tells her "F- You". I could be mistaken and just have a case of wishful thinking because lord knows that girl deserved it.

Here is the video to 'That Guy' and see if any of you are better lip reading skills than me.
