What a Life!

Hobbiton! What a wonderful tribute to Tolkien and a magnificent playground for Peter Jackson and his crew. I became tickled at witnessing the descriptions of the village and couldn’t help thinking it a massive toy. But I mean no disrespect. I envy Sir Peter’s ability to do what he loves and bring such affirmation and [...]

Diary of an RA Fan — Part 27 The Unbroken Line

See Diary Part 26 here, or to access all entries, hit “The Diary” tab above. Entry — October 28, 2008: Finally finished the Stanislavski book, and I also watched the first episode of Spooks 7 last night. It was good, but then I’m so in the bag for Richard Armitage. Can he do something mediocre? [...]

Are You Ready?

I’m talking to all of you budding geeks who have been recently schooled by bccmee. :D Here’s your chance to make some awesome screencaps and gifs. The short videos in HD from the Project Magazine shoot, which was previously available only on iPad, are up. Three so far. One: Two: Three: :D Look forward to [...]

Tangent — Does It Matter? Really?

I readily admit I might be a bit jaded. When I see something like this, it’s hard not to think it’s a bunch of people who are in need of meaning in their lives, seek out a “noble” cause toward that end but are drawn mostly in a visceral fashion and often ignorant of how [...]

Is It Just Me?

I became giddy seeing Richard Armitage in my country. Someone please, please slap me ’cause I feel really silly right now. On second thought never mind. It just feels good that he was in LA even if he was sweltering: Love the arrow. :D I hope Heather got to go to the Red Carpet for [...]

Guy With Us — Spoilers

Spoilers for Robin Hood Series 3 I didn’t think it was possible, but there are people who read my blog who have seen little or no ‘Robin Hood’ hence the spoiler tag. If you do not know the full story of Guy of Gisborne, please don’t read this piece. Just watch the show. Last chance [...]

I Couldn’t Look Away

I was one of those who was not going to watch the Royal Wedding, but I’ve been in on so many public events of William’s life, how could I miss this one. Kate’s last moments before entering the church. I remember the feelings I had when I entered a wedding ceremony almost 28 years ago. [...]

I Feel Like a Proud Mama

Richard Armitage really did represent the cast at the Powhiri on the opening of filming ‘The Hobbit’, and I really did feel like I was watching my kid make good. Maybe he was right about the maternal feelings, and strangely, that doesn’t feel icky anymore. edit: video updated with HD I guess this means I [...]

Yes, it’s April Fools

I notified her and asked her to tell us a little bit about herself and becoming a fan of Richard Armitage. Her response: I never win anything, yipee!!!! I’m sitting in my office grinning from ear to ear. I would be happy to share a bit. I’ve always been a rabid Anglophile and past crushes [...]

Doing the Hongi

No, this isn’t a FanstRAvaganza post but another interruption, because frankly, I can’t help myself. I’ve talked about RA’s voice and his ear and the wonderful vibrations, and I even posted a little sample of what Thorin may sound like, but aren’t any of you really curious about what’s going on in New Zealand?!! Oh, [...]
