Found it while reading the newspaper

-
hehe . . . you're a holy moly fan too, eh Mike?
That's a newspaper like NOTW is responsible journalism - but at least HM doesn't try to present itself as anything but a gossip rag!
Love the idea of Turner and the older generation pulling together. Thanks!
-
Go on printing, Mike!!
-
I have a lot of paper to bring and while I'm doing this I can read newspaper
-
If you don't mind I found this link. And don't worry it's the whole story you don't need a credit card to read the rest.

Now that's a bizarre article!!! :eeyore: How weird is that? Did you know that there is this doctor who was convicted of murder by the name of Richard Sharpe? I hear the theme song to The Outer Limits playing in my head.
-
Weird that's right. The whole thing is very strange.
-
Well, the person who wrote the article must have been a lady who had probably just watched LC or something. The guy is called Sean BELL, as you can see at the bottom of the article. Glad to know there are other obsessed women too .....

I don't think I'll even bother holding my breath for this one. I think he really is too old for this one unlesss they were doing it as a 'what happened to them all afterwards' thing.
However -surprise surprise -Robin does get killed in the end according to the myth, so it would fit with most of his other roles!!
-
As I said just a note.
-
**thinking out loud** Hmmmm, lets see...our boy or Russell Crowe??? He may be a good actor, but Russell Crowe is butt ugly, even when compared to Sean on a bad day. But I can see the two of them playing off each other. Bale is good, but Sean can blow him away with just a look, like he did in Equilibrium. For the short time that Sean was onscreen in that, all eyes were on him, not Bale. Well, if he was to jump into the role, Sean would be on location with serial co-star shagger Sienna. So...I'm not sure if this would be a good thing or a bad thing...another dark character role...
-
Go on thinking loud Sable. Very interesting...................
BTW Russell Crowe isn't butt ugly. Oh, Oh what did I say now. :ignore2: :ignore2: :ignore2: :ignore2: :ignore2:
-
The only comment on that page is from someone saying that Sean would make a good Robin Hood. I wonder if she belongs to this site.
I don't think that Russell Crowe is butt ugly, but he's not my type.
-

Definitely a good thing in my book. A high profile fling like that just might...... ok, ok, I'm headed downstairs to finish this sentence!!!

I like Russell Crowe (I'm dead) :backout

Look at these arms
-
Mikey, I like him as well!! :slut
-
I LOVE YOU.
I'm not alone. I can come out of the darkness
-
If our boy wants the part, he better get his act together and his ass on it, is all that I can say.
-
he might actually have to put some effort in and fight for it........... :not
-

Yep.....!!
BTW...I'm not a Crow fan....but I also think, he has "something"!

It's a starter TT. OK I like Sean more then Russell; but he is interesting.
When I think about Robin Hood the movie with Mel Brooks comes to my mind. Don't know why. Maybe it's cos I try to suppress Kevin Costner.

He may have looked like a little stoner when he was a tot, but he matured quite nicely, BJ.... you must admit:
(http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/kimmysphotos/other%20hotties/russell_crowe.jpg)
Not a classically handsome man, but great charisma and sex appeal! And, dare I say it, better box office draw? If Sean wants that role, he's gonna have to fight hard for it.
-
It won't happen. Sean's star was really just beginning to rise when he met George - and it's been going down since then. He can't compete against the likes of Crowe and Bale, who have had non-stop starring roles for the last three years . . . while he was busy dissing the folks who give you jobs.
Talent doesn't count for squat; it's all about box office draw - and yes, WE know that Sean COULD draw an audience, but who is going to give him the chance when they have sure things on call?

He started "nesting" and got comfortable and complacent? *shrugs* Like I said. If he doesn't have the ambition...
Anyway. There's quite a bit of discussion on the IMDb forums of "Nottingham" on Who should play Robing Hood (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955308/board/nest/92746490) and quite a lot of support for the boy as well as opinions that he is too old for the part.

I don't think he's too old for the role - it actually makes more sense to have an older Robin Hood - particularly if they are going with the deposed Earl who rode off on Crusade with the Lionheart, etc, etc. The little fella they have on the BBC television version is what, twelve? And yet he was supposed to have been off on Crusade for three years? The Children's Crusade, maybe . . .
Even if they go with the other version of RH - the yeoman turned bandit without a redeeming quality (none of the merry men or "giving to the poor" - he just kept it), there's no reason an older man couldn't play the role.
Russell Crowe is five years younger than Sean and doesn't look particularly sprightly (imo - not bad. doesn't float my boat), and he is presumably playing the love interest to Sienna Miller (at least it's the Middle Ages, when young women were married off to old farts all the time . . .) - it might actually play into the idea of an "evil" Robin Hood if he were played by an older man - someone grizzled and a bit world weary and cynical. It always strains credulity when they have a young person trying to convince the audience that they're world weary and cynical.
But I really do not think that they will cast Sean. I think his "nesting" (love the euphemism!) has actually damaged his reputation in the business and he's paying the piper now. It may not be a lack of ambition as much as a series of bad choices and now the roles he wants just aren't coming his way. Let's face it - the projects that he's been attached to (even speculatively) for the last couple of years are either hold-overs from before he started his slide into mediocrity (like AWONI and CLS) or small budget indies (like TROAE) or scripts that sound suspiciously like "B" movies.
Last Battle Dreamer has some potential - but it could also turn out (if it every gets made) to be one of those weird modern love stories set in the past, so it all looks very contrived and silly and ends up going straight to DVD and Sunday afternoon showings on the the movie channels. Black Death has all the hallmarks of the classic "B" bloody, scary, horror flick - there's potential there, but when you see the word "necromancer" it doesn't really suggest a plot of any depth.
That's not to say he wouldn't make some money from them - there are plenty of people who love that stuff. But he won't earn any more credit in "serious" acting circles - and since he has apparently squandered what he did have, he needs at least a little if he ever wants to have a chance at a major production or a film with a shot at critical acclaim. If he lacks ambition, then I suspect he doesn't care - if he does care than I feel very sorry for him - but he made his bed.

A bit strange the Argentina 2009 thing
-
Heh... and a few inaccuracies. The Sharpe series "made" actors like Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig? :P
Argentina - that's Sharpe's Devil but that is unlikely to actually be filmed there because of the cost. Probably the Crimea again. ;)
-
Argentina? Where did Argentina come from? Devil takes place in Chile. And rumour from the Muir Sutherland camp has the producers looking at filming it in Spain.

pssssstttt : like Russel Crowe as well...... bad boy image and a very interesting face - a man with rough edges!
Okay - back to Robin Hood - did I miss something ? Why don´t they take Richard Armitage? I thought he was a huge success???
But well - anybody will be better than Kevin Costner!
Do you think Sean would apply for such a great job? Or does he think, while he is nesting, they have to come and ask him?
I have heard too that they definetely will make Devil - so that pays his meal tickets I guess. Maybe he thinks it´s enough. Maybe he likes the low budget movies. Maybe he feels lazy and doesnt want to work much anymore. Maybe he thinks he made enough money for the rest of his life. Who will ever know.... I just can´t imagine him not wanting great roles.... that´s so not him. And at the same time I will never understand, how he couldnt make something great after all the doors, that opened to him after LOTR and Troy. I would understand, if an actor with his brilliant skills would say " no TV and cinema anymore - I want to play only theatre-roles" - but crappy movies like Hitcher & Co?
Soulmate

pssssst very good. We must be quiet otherwise the HRH will notice so pssssssssssssst
-
I've seen the name Richard Armitage, but I'm not familiar with his work. Is he mostly known in the UK?
-
Ooooooooooh MF ! He´s a hottie ! And WHAT a hottie! You must try to rent North & South! There are days, when I think (attention attention - stones will fly around - be careful - they fly into my direction but you could get hurt if you stand near to me!) his voice is even hotter than Seans!!!
-
He's is the Other Hunks and Hotties thread as well, MF. Go and have a look. Take towels!!
-
Towels???? TOWELS? Take a cloth in the size of a 1000000-person-tent !!!

Watch out for the guy in the black leather coat and listen..............
...as I said: BIG CLOTH IS NEEDED !
-
Yep, RA is one shag-licious man!
-
Go straight to the gutters and watch the other vid-clips........... outside temperature still 30 degrees - inside my flat the thermometer just exploded!
-
Oh, my...I was about to reply but went and watched that vid...and another...and another...and by the time I got back here, there were two more posts. :pant:
-
And the last ever two episodes of The Vicar of Dibley -just yummy in that even without the eyeliner and black coat. I think Sean's voice wins over RA.
-
Another hottie with a great voice? Should I even go there? Can I handle a second obsession?
-
I started watching the video, but my husband walked into the room, so I stopped it. I'll continue with it tomorrow. RA does look pretty hot, and actually I've always preferred dark haired guys, but I think that Sean is way hotter and has the better, sexier voice.
-
^^^
.... a voice like audio porn, IMO.
-
Yep Kimmy - and it´s not (like Sean) an audio vibrator - it´s more like a gentle yet hoarse stroking voice with a hidden bridled tigerishness......
-
An audio vibrator--that has an interesting ring to it!

I'd like to see you mobile MF

But don't we all enjoy those pervie pictures?
-
not the hairy bottom and peckerless man with beer type pictures...NO
-
No, I wasn't talking about that kind of perviness. I've seen the peckerless man before and I really didn't need to see him again. I wonder if he knows that he is plastered all over the internet?
-
He looks as if he can't be arsed. He probably thinks it's a good joke .....
MEN!
-
How did news of Beano transmorgify into perkerless fat men with hairy asses? I am puzzled! Would someone kindly explain?
*innocent*
-
No idea, it just seems to happen from time to time .....
-
I plead guilty to mentioning fat, hairy asses in another thread, but I'm not responsible for the peckerless man.

There is a different between nonsense and nonsense. Funny or stupid.

Don't they say that laughter is the best medicine? Then we should all be pretty healthy here, shouldn't we?

you're right laughing is the best way to stay in a good health! (Is it right, I meant the way I said it!?)

Perfect, Myowyn, and you are absolutely correct. Laughter is a wonderful cure for what ails you. :thumbsup:

Thanks sable! There's alos something else which makes people laugh, can't say it here! :hahaha:

I've never heard of that actor who will play the villian. I noticed that the person who wrote the article referred to the Sharpe series as a soap. I didn't know it was thought of in that way. Thanks for posting the link.

Well... technically.... :rotfl1: :rotfl1: :rotfl1: he's right!
-
I guess so when you think of it. So far I've seen murder, lust, adultery, villians and good guys, and of course, one very hunky lead character.
-
And skin, love interests, love interests that show up years later, fake marriages, revenge, enemies, more skin.
-
But the Sutherlands have no knowledge what a real cliff hanger is !

thank god for that we would have had to have waited an awful long time between 'episodes' !

Look at No. 2
-
It seems that most people agree that wasn't a very good movie. I'm always glad to see Sean, though.
-
Sean was great but the rest was sheer nonsense.
-
I remember I was very tired when I watched the movie, and was having a hard time staying awake. Sean was the only reason I kept watching.
-
Sylvene knows more about the gaming world. Maybe she can give her opinion? I really hated the film as well, and I do like a good horror flick once in a while.
-
It was enough to put you to sleep. I fell asleep in cinema and my friend prodded me when Sean appeared. Nice
-
Actually, I fell asleep too ..... :rotfl1:
-
I love good horror movies (not the slasher ones) the ones that are genuinely scary, but they don't seem to make many of those any more. I totally see how you both fell asleep during the movie. I know I kept nodding off.
-
I felt her elbow and then I know good look guy on screen.
-
I didn't fall asleep, but I couldn't help laughing all the time!:-)
-
There are only two things you can do sleeping or laughing; when Sean isn't there. When he's there you can languish for him. So you have to bit to do during the movie.
-
Let's see - without turning back a page to see which film you're discussing, I'd say either "Hitcher" or "Silent Hill."
Which suggests a new game to while away the time, since the object of our attention has vanished from public gaze . . . how about a thread where we describe a film without using any character names - and as little of the plot as possible. Instead, use adjectives like: scary, boring, complex, etc. Describe the scenery: city, town, countryside but not the actual location. Describe how well the actors play their roles - how convincing they were - without actually describing the characters . . .
Or something like that.
-
Great idea! Why don't you start?
:thumbsup:
-
Sounds good.
-
Okay . . .
erm . . . . .
Not very long; relies on physical scene and cinematography to carry the film as much as plot and dialogue. Characters are well-drawn but only vaguely defined - intentionally. Characterisations allow the actors to stretch their acting muscles a bit. Storyline is sometimes confusing, but moves rapidly enough to avoid boredom. Set in a city, but location is not clearly defined by the scenery. Gritty by intent; vaguely surreal. Based loosely on real events.
-
Oh, I will have to go and think about this one. I'll be back ....
-
Sylvene knows more about the gaming world. Maybe she can give her opinion? I really hated the film as well, and I do like a good horror flick once in a while.
The game was good - is good. Actually, very good. Especially if you are into that genre - Horror / Action. Fantastic graphics, beautiful art and chilling soundtrack. It actually has quite a bit of cult following in the game world. There are actually 6 Silent Hill games. Which shows you the longevity of the title. I couldn't see how they would turn it into movie, but guessed that a good screenwriter and director could pull it off.
A few friends who were fans of the game went to watch the movie after watching the trailers and came back not only disappointed but disgusted. The game IS produced by the Japanese, so the English dialogue isn't that good and as the article put it, the iffy dialogue carried through to the movie. The game has beautiful cinematic cutscenes of possible ending scenarios and they are reached by the player making certain decisions during the game. In the game, you played the main character and made decisions, so you have an immediate buy-in.
The movie could also have suffered from pressures of re-writes. Sean was not originally slated to have a starring role. Due to studio pressure for a male lead, he was re-written into a subplot - all those surreal scenarios which worked well enough in the game - but felt disjointed and messy in a movie. Now... still, it looked great (from what I saw of the trailers) and some friends confirmed it was great until the dialogue was pointed out whereupon the defense was. "It was bad in the game too!"
I didn't watch the movie because it got thumbs down from everyone I knew and I'm not a fan of horror movies. I only watch them on the home screen and if I have someone who's lap I can crawl into. So I haven't watched a horror movie in oh... 6 years I think.
-
I felt her elbow and then I know good look guy on screen.
You're lucky that you had a good friend to give you Sean alerts.
-
Yes alert system works very good in the cinema. Even when we watch DVD
-
I could use an alert system. I watch a lot of crappy movies on cable tv, and often have a hard time staying awake.
-
Thanks, Sylvene, I didn't know that.

Ooo, this could cover several of his films, but the "Based loosely on real events" limits it greatly. But which could it be: Essex Boys or Outlaw? Hmmmmm......
-
I haven't seen either one of those movies yet. I keep hoping that Outlaw will be on cable soon since it was released last year.
-
Essex boys was based on real events, but you can't say it wasn't very long. It was an ordinary film length. Outlaw too, so that's why I don't think it can be either of those. I should think that not very long means, shorter than an ordinary movie.
-
Okay - I'll rephrase "not very long" to not as long as some feature films - about 10 minutes shorter than the average 100-105 minute film.
*that's a hint, by the way . . .* :trust
-
Just a guess then...Extremely Dangerous...altho I'm leaning more towards Outlaw.
-
Nope - to both. It is a cinema film as opposed to a made for TV film, though.
-
My guess is Shopping.
-
Nope, but it is an older film . . .
-
The Field
-
Stormy Monday
-
Is there a winner yet? And what does the winner get? A wild night with Sean?
-
Not yet - and the winner gets the chance to confuse and confuddle the rest of us (no Sean, I'm afraid).
-
Confusion and confuddlement--aren't those sort of the norm anyway?
-
At least here they are .....
-
Fool's Gold
-
All these movies that are being listed makes me realize that I haven't seen a lot of Sean's movies. If I can't find them on cable, I need to look into renting them.
-
Not Fool's Gold . . .
-
Is it Windprints?
-
Nope . . .!
Remember; slightly surreal, interesting cinematography . . .
-
Oh, just discovered this nice game. Good idea, lighty.
The only film that comes into my mind reading your description is Caravaggio.
-
Caravaggio. Definitely surreal. Definitely interesting cinematography. Definitely loosely based on the life of Caravaggio. Definitely one of his earlier works. Definitely loosely drawn characters.
-
Right, and it it only about 93 minutes long.
-
Right, and it it only about 93 minutes long.
89 min too long
-
89 min too long
:agreed: :mutley:

I like the scene in the hammock........
whoops :elf is looking around the corner, better stop talking about it
-
http://www.thestar.co.uk/doncaster/Glitz-and-glam-in-town.4258339.jp
Good if you read the newspaper
-
So there are only 4 minutes of Caravaggio that are worth watching? What do you do about the other 89 minutes?
I've never heard of the movie, Cass.
-
use the fast forward button
-
That's going to be a lot of forwarding. Someone should make a dvd of all of Sean's scenes from all of his movies, so that we don't have to forward through much. Let's just see the important stuff.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DnblNtTgbQ&feature=related
for the hammock scene MF and in fact i see now that someone has posted most of the film in bits on youtube so have a happy afternoon viewing!

Not a good idea MF. Imagine you have a DVD with all nice scene Sean is in; I say that now as physician and not as a fan; that's to dangerous it would cause rapid heart beat, hormone system would get out of control, hyperventilation, your eyes would get dry cause you stop blinking etc.
So no DVD

for the hammock scene MF and in fact i see now that someone has posted most of the film in bits on youtube so have a happy afternoon viewing!
Thanks for the link, beanyfan. That was strange, but hot!
-
That's going to be a lot of forwarding. Someone should make a dvd of all of Sean's scenes from all of his movies, so that we don't have to forward through much. Let's just see the important stuff.
Not a good idea MF. Imagine you have a DVD with all nice scene Sean is in; I say that now as physician and not as a fan; that's to dangerous it would cause rapid heart beat, hormone system would get out of control, hyperventilation, your eyes would get dry cause you stop blinking etc.
So no DVD
I hadn't thought about the medical implications, Mike. Couldn't we still have the dvd and have a paramedic standing by?
-
I think that would be ok. Just a bit dangerous but not so much
-
Oh, just discovered this nice game. Good idea, lighty.
The only film that comes into my mind reading your description is Caravaggio.
That's it!
Your turn . . .
-
LOL..Godness, lighty, if I had known, that I have to pick up the next one, I had hold my tongue!:-))
But I'll have a try (think it's quite easy):
It's placed in a certain town, the main theme ist about obsessional love and the inability of social and emotional interaction, you can find some humorous and some sad moments, it is one of Sean's earlier works.
-
Clarissa
-
Tell Me That You Love Me?
-
The fim is less than 100 minutes long and has alleged autobiographical elements.
-
That footie film? When Saturday Comes?
-
Nope.
The story is told retrospectively.
-
I would really love to play that game with you, but I havent seen old Sean movies carefully enough :-(((
I would have said Tell Me That You Love Me as well - cause it was about obsession - but it wasnt retrospectively.......
But I am really impressed about you all - Kudos to you!
-
LC
-
No
-
I haven't seen enough of his movie (especially the older ones) to be able to play this game either.
-
o.k. one more hint: It's a family film.
-
Family film and it's not WSC... then it has to be Tom and Thomas?
*Sylvene pulls movies out of the air as she hasn't seen them all either*
-
T&T is one of his later films, not an earlier film and its not based even remotely on real events. But, Prince is an earlier film based on real events with the daughter of Sean's character doing some narration about her father and his dog.
-
Toldja I was pulling films outta the air.
-
Prince!
That's it, Sable:-)) :thumbsup:
-
Here you go: A story of rebellion, loving a rogue and finding redemption.
-
Lady C?
-
A Woman's Guide to Adultery??
-
Clarissa?
-
No to all 3. His character survives the climactic ending but he doesn't get the girl.
-
Survives, huh? Well that narrows it down . . . :rotfl1:
Sharpe?
-
Sharpe? Now, when have you ever known Sharpe not to get a girl that he wants??? Good guess tho. :butt:
-
:rotfl1:
Small Zones?
-
Nope.
-
In the Border Country
-
Nope. Its set outside of the United Kingdom.
-
Sable!! You're killing me!! LOL That's so difficult! I had to think about it the whole day !! :rotfl1:
*sigh* I'll have another try tomorrow. Perhaps the answer appears in my dreams this night!
-
Anna Karenina
-
Good idea, BJ. I've thought about it, but I wouldn't describe Vronsky as a rogue. Would you?
-
well, mmmm, roguish perhaps?
-
Nope, and there was nothing in AK that dealt with redemption.
-
Troy?
I'ts about loving a rogue, it's set outside the U.K., there is redemption and Sean survives.
(O.k. it is more a siege than a rebellion.....) :bang: :bang:
-
Sounds good
-
This game is helping me learn more about Sean's movies. I'm not knowledgeable enough to participate, but I'm glad that I'm finding out some things.
-
So the game is useful.
-
Yes, and I hope the people who are playing are having fun with it, and not just getting frustrated.
-
Be sure they have
-
I does seem to take several guesses to get to the correct answer. Maybe the clues are too vague or maybe Sean's movies are too similar.
-
Try it
-
Caravaggio
-
:vomit:
I hope not
-
Not Troy and not Caravaggio. In Troy, he wasn't the lead rogue and in Caravaggio he is killed in the end.
-
A Woman's Guide to Adultery.
-
Hardly!!!!! The character of Paul never did redeem himself. He was still an asshole at the end of the film.
-
:mutley: I give up!

NORTH COUNTRY, BLACK BEAUTY,PRIDE,THE TRUE BRIDE ..... :fingers:
Is it a fanfic?
:damnit :explode: :frustrate:
This is sooo mean!!!!! :furious:
-
TT, its one of those. Now, just which one? :mutley:
-
:rotfl1: :rotfl1: now, just a minute to think about it. I'll get you!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
o.k. we'll take the method of elimination:
NC: rebellion, but he's not a rogue and his has still his woman
Black Beauty: He's again a good one, thereis no love story he is involved and there is noch rebellion
The True Bride: No rebellion, he's the lovely gardener
Pride: IS THE DAMNED ONLY FILM I'VE NEVER SEEN YET!!!!!
Can't believe it!!!!!!!
Dear Sable,
Is Pride the film you meant???? :wellll:
-
Pride it is, TT. Your turn. :thumbsup:
-
This is so incredible mean and guileful! Your are such a :bitch !!!
( :rotfl1:...but very, very good!!)
-
Because I'M A FRIENDLY LOVEBALE person (and in contrast to some unnamed other players in this game) I've chosen this one:
It's a story about love, social pressure and borders and battles for existence. Sean's role is dashing, rough, but compelling.
(To be honest, Sable's last riddle effected me a completely addle brain!!!)
-
I give it a try:
When Saturday Comes.
( do NOT laugh :-)))
-
AK ??
-
nope! :mutley:
-
He dies, doesn't he? The Field with Richard Harris?
-
Sharpe
-
No. Sean's not the good one.
-
Lorna Doone
-
No
-
Essex Boys
-
No.
-
Damnit !!!
It's a story about love, social pressure and borders and battles for existence. Sean's role is dashing, rough, but compelling.
LC ! Lots of love, even more about social pressure and borders ! Battles for existence, yes, when he wants to leave.
Dashing rough and compelling anyway - and he is not a really good one in the beginning.
And if it´s not LC, it is Scarlett ! Sean is evil in that ! And again - "love" (at least physical love :-), social pressure and borders and battles for existence with the irish people.
(I said: don´t laugh - and that means as well: dont giggle!!!! lol)
-
:rotfl1:
Good thoughts SM.
But he is a not a nice bloke for the whole film. So, no LC.
Scarlett could it perhaps be .... but it isn't! LOL
Another hint: His character survives.
-
This is a very tough game. If you long time Sean fans are having trouble, there is no hope for me to come up with answers.
-
In the Border Country?
-
Nope
-
This is a very tough game. If you long time Sean fans are having trouble, there is no hope for me to come up with answers.
look up his filmography and pick any title at random and make a guess -you can't possibly do ny worse thanthe rest of us MF!!!! :mutley:
-
Looks like the best way
-
I like this game! :snoopy:
Next hint: It's set in northern England
Now, come on, girls!
-
Patriot Game
-
WSC ?
-
No
-
MacBeth Nah or don't know. But I try MacBeth
-
This is a very tough game. If you long time Sean fans are having trouble, there is no hope for me to come up with answers.
look up his filmography and pick any title at random and make a guess -you can't possibly do ny worse thanthe rest of us MF!!!! :mutley:
I did try that once and my pick was wrong. I'm not sure I want to win, then I'd have to come up with the next set of clues.
-
Look how often I'm wrong and I'm a fan since 16 years
-
Don't worry, MF. Remember the last one from Sable. It drove me crazy! lol It's quite difficult to guess right, because a lot of the films have similar themes and characters in it. And of course you always try to give not that one distinctively clue.:-)

-
Sounds like South Africa and most of Eastern Europe will see Crusoe before the UK does at the rate broadcast deals are being made. Still no news on a UK airing, ladies???
-
No news
-
I hope we will all be able to see Crusoe before long. And I hope that Sean will be in several scenes, but it doesn't look like that since he will only be in flashbacks.
-
Ladies, I'm really disappointed. Where is that gorgeous sporting spirit of the SBO members? There is still a puzzle open.
I summarize the hints:
It's a story about love, social pressure and borders and battles for existence. Sean's role is dashing, rough, but compelling. He's not a goodie. He survives. It's set in northern England.
And ...because it seems to be too difficult or...my suppose ... you are bored or simply lazy...one last clue:
Industrial revolution!!
(I could give you the title instead!) :wellll:
-
Lady Chatterley?
-
15 streets ??
-
15 streets ??
:yippee: :snoopy: :dancedance: :rockets: :fireworks1: :thumbsup:
Congrats BF!!!!
BF and BJ: THANK YOU!!!! LOL
If you want, BF ....it's your turn now!
-
Oh God.........I knew there'd be a downside....give me some time to think about it.i'll be back............
-
I'm very curious about it, BF!! Take the time, you need, but don't think to much about it. It's only a game!!:-))
-
And we all know it's very hard to answer anyway.
-
And we all know it's very hard to answer anyway.
:hellyeah2:
-
OK. He's more voice than vision and he's really not very nice....
-
I'm thinking Pride again.
-
OK. He's more voice than vision and he's really not very nice....
uuups...what an interesting beginning, BF. More voice than vision ... hmmmm... does it mean, more than or no real vision of Sean? Fiddly!!
What''s about the Canterbury Tales?
-
no and no. He's definitiely seen but his voice plays a big part in it. He's held a long time grudge and he comes to a messy end.
-
I'm going to bed in a minute, so here's a bedtime clue............his phone bill must have been pretty high,
-
Don't Say a Word
-
Grudge and Messy End? Doesn't that describe like half his movies? :P
But I think the clue is the "Long Time" and I'd guess either Don't Say a Word of Lorna Doone.
-
Don't Say a Word.
-
sorry folks, small matter of beauty sleep getting in the way there....
WELL DONE LIGHTY (AND THEN TT), 'Don't say a word ' it is.....
Over to you Lighty
-
errr . . .
Talented, conflicted, obsessed. Good at heart, weak in spirit, comes through in the end. Modern. He lives, but not everyone close to him does.
-
Tom and Thomas?
-
Yep ...good one BF. I would also say T&T.
-
When Saturday Comes
-
Good, idea, Sable. Didn't remember the death of his brother in WSC.
But I still stuck to T&T.
-
Sable! Got it in one! :thumbsup:
Over to you . . .
-
Cold, calculating, and deceitful, understandably vengeful, yet he fails to fulfill his ambitions. Redemption is not in his cards even in the face of death.
-
Goldeneye
-
And TT gets it in one go! :thumbsup: I guess it was too easy this time. Your turn, TT.
-
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117988912.html?categoryId=14&cs=1
Crusoe again
-
Netflix already has Crusoe on their list of Sean Bean movies, to be saved then sent when it's released. I'm so glad it will be on NBC so that I can see it.
-
Do you know anything about it that it will shown on German TV too?
-
:howl:
just tonight, at 22.00 pm, in spanish tv "Ronin"
-
Enjoy the movie galamb; Sean isn't long in it.
-
:snoopy:
I know it, but only see him for a while.....
-
yes that's nice
-
And TT gets it in one go! :thumbsup: I guess it was too easy this time. Your turn, TT.
Godness, again? lol
He is mysterious, relentless, driven, his different faces allow him to betray some of his opponents, but not all.
-
Extremely Dangerous?
-
Good thought, lighty!
But no! :mutley:
-
The Hitcher
-
BINGO!!!! BJ. Great! :thumbsup:
Your turn, BJ! I'm curious.-)
-
OMG!!!!! Okay, have to think .... bear with me ...
-
Okay, here goes, I'm sure everybody will guess immediately.
Always well dressed, doesn't realise the consquences of his actions, is happiest when abroad.
-
ups...I Think it's quite difficult! There are at once two movies, that came to into my mind first. Most of all I'm puzzled about this "always well dressed" in combination with "happiest when abroad") BJ, i have this special feeling that this is a mean and a clever trap! lol :-))
I try it with this:
It's Mellors from LC!
-
You think he's well-dressed?
:mutley:
No, that's not him.
-
flightplan??
-
Nope
-
Is "well-dressed" for you a yellow-black- paisley-shirt? And "happiest when abroad" means "happiest when shagging abroad"????
Essex Boys! :rotfl1:
-
No, and that shirt is not what I call well-dressed ....
-
A Woman's Guide to Adultery?
-
Flightplan?
-
Sharpe?
-
The True Bride
-
I also say A woman guides to adultery
-
Ian...National Treasure?
-
the island?
-
I thought this was really easy. OK, extra hint: he loves his horse.
-
Black Beauty???
-
anna karenia )can't spell it.
-
I thought of Anna Keranina after I posted too creighton, because he's out of the picture really early in Black Beauty. :P
-
I'm a bit puzzled concerning the meaning of "abroad". LOL
Regarding Anna Karenina and "happiest when abroad"...wasn't he the one who wanted to go back again because of his lack of purpose?
-
Okay, if it wasnt Sharpe, then I try it again with the Earl Richard Fenton :-) Loved his horse, always VERY welldressed, and "abroad" could mean Ireland instead of his home England .
:-)))
Soulmate
-
Creighton is right, it's Anna Karenina. He and Anna were very happy, until he lost his sense of purpose.
Creighton over to you.
-
http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/free/Extra-becomes-a-real-bit.4303551.jp
-
Oh, great. At least he is mentioned again.
-
That's what I thought too. They still talking about our boy.
-
It's good to see any mentions of Sean, no matter how brief they are.
-
Something other about Sean in the press
http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/story/403043.html
-
I can't wait for Crusoe! I hope that it will be a successful series and that Sean will not just have a tiny role in it. I like Sam Neill too.
-
have you seen "The Tudors" with Sam Neil?
-
Oooo, yes, love the scene where the Cardinal is getting the rubdown from his topless "wife". :mutley:
-
I remember it
-
No one would forget it.
-
No, I've never seen The Tudors. Was that shown on US tv?
-
I don't know but I think it avalible on DVD
-
Is it the movie about the two sisters? Isn't it a recent one?
-
I don't know it The Tudors has been in Usa,
no myo, it isn't the movie "Sisters Bolen", with scarlett , it is a tv serie
don't worry, it is in english
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=ntQOSkd3j_I
-
I just found out that The Tudors was an original Showtime series that came out in 2007. It's not running now, but dvds are available.
-
Shadowmancer, his first novel written in his mid-40s, topped the best sellers list for 15 weeks and is being made in to a Hollywood film. Michael Caine has been mentioned for the evil vicar Obadia Demurral and Sean Bean for mysterious smuggler Jacob Crane.
Here the whole text
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/07/31/botaylor131.xml
-
I got that link in a Google alert today. A mysterious smuggler sounds interesting.
-
Better than other news.
-
Thanks Galamb, I guess as usual, iv'e made a mixture of all!
-
But I have read shadowmancer as soon as the news came up first - it´s such a crappy fake-holy-religious book . Horrible!
-
And it looks like that Sean has just a small part
-
That doesn't surprise me that he only has a small role. That seems to happen more often than not.
Sometimes movies are a lot different than the books they are taken from. Hopefully the movie will be better than the book. Or, it could just turn out to be a crappy movie.
-
:agreed: often when a movie is made after a book, a lot of details( which could have an importance) are forgetten!, That's a pity, hope it will be a great movie! We will see!
-
Right - for examle the book "Sheep" is so much better than the movie The Dark - but at least James looks GGGGGREAT in that movie and has a leading role.
But Shadowmancer......Jacob Crane.... :crap
Damnit - what he would really need right now would be a REAL great movie - and most of all: a positive movie, where he could shine with a good charisma.
But I think it needs some things to happen until he can perform this. He needs his charisma back - he had it. :furious:
-
http://www.filmstalker.co.uk/archives/2007/09/sean_bean_in_milgram_obedience.html
-
It seems that the plot is going to give Sean Bean a lot more to get his teeth into, it's not just the standard bad boy role
It sounds better than we thought!
Mike, can I also post this article on my forum?
-
Yes you can dear
-
Thanks you Mike!
-
You're welcome
-
That's good news--a substantial role and hopefully a lot of screen time!
-
Yes, he really needs it, and we too.
-
:agreed: we are waiting for that for ages!
-
Waiting for a good one, but he made a lot of crap in the past
-
I agree but I think all the actors must pass by that way to be one day well known, don't you think?
Well even if sean isn't an international well known actor, I still love him and will watch his movies! Doesn't mean I loved them all!
-
I meant he made a lot of crap after LOTR. I don't wanna talk about Silent Hill. I still love him too and I'm sure I will watch the next movie with him too.
-
oh ok I get it now! Sorry i've missunderstood you!
:agreed: some movies were really crap!
-
No prob.
I guess you can't always make good movies. Even Sean Connery made movies which are crap
-
:mutley: :agreed: even if I also really like this man, there are also some movie I didn't appreciate
-
I like him too, he was the best Bond.
-
defently :agreed: I've never liked the other one!

Over all, however, most have a hard time judging this prematurely since not a lot is known about it.
I do agree, a lot of stuff are said but never shown yet. We would like to know some more, but all is kept like a secret!
-
You don't have to ask if ou can use them these articles are public stuff so you ca use it anytime.
I do agree, a lot of stuff are said but never shown yet. We would like to know some more, but all is kept like a secret!
I hope it didn't come to nothing. Sean needs good movies or TV productions

Thanks mike

I don't know, sometimes he is mention sometimes not. Nobody knows.

I haven't heard something about it for ages! I really wonder what it has become!
-
Ladies, I broke off this topic where it veered off into discussion about smoking and fags and moved it down to the Kitchen (new title "Smoke Rings") as I didn't think that ANY discussion about drugs, legal or illegal, is appropriate for the the general public forums. No, I'm not being a prude, just being a "responsible" webmiss. :sorry:
-
Sorry ran into this topic too. I just wanted to tell about this article.
-
http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/features/Star-of-the-silver-screen.4370648.jp
Soon I was rubbing shoulders with actors, directors, producers, writers, cinematographers and extras on an array of films shot within Broad Acres.There were early encounters with Ewan McGregor, David Tennant and Sean Bean and brushes with talents such as Maggie Smith and Michael Caine. Photographs were taken in their scores but only a handful saw the light of day.
-
That was an interesting article. I didn't realize that Yorkshire had such a rich film history.

-
:rotfl1: what cynics we are!
-
Isn't bird a British slang for girl/woman? Maybe Sean got confused when he heard there would be bird watching going on.
-
That could be the answer MF
-
I think he has quite a history of bird (the feathered kind) watching; he talks about it in interviews. Goes with the gardening, I guess.
Birds (the feathered kind) are amazing - I'm not surprised he enjoys them.
-
We had the privelige while on holiday to see a couple of bald eagles wild and it was quite amazing..... (we actually got a whole load of wildlife in it's natural habitat-quite stunning)
-
I love gardening and bird watching too, so I guess they do go hand in hand.
-
You too, MF? I love birds and gardening (herbs especially, veg next, flowers and shrubs after that but not as much). Living in the desert bites, because nothing grows worth a damn here and the birds are relatively few in type. Pigeons, doves, grackles, wrens, warblers, hummingbirds, roadrunners (had a couple of HUGE roadrunners in our back yard last year - that was pretty cool), very rarely quail.
I like the grackles - I think I may be the only person in Las Vegas who does; most people hate them worse than pigeons, but I think they're a hoot to watch. During mating season, all the males wander around doing their mating "dance" -
they puff up their throats with air and stick their beaks straight up into the air. Then they walk around, making this weird honking noise and ruffling their wings. Of course they can't see where they're going, so they run into each other and trees, bushes, etc.
The females stand off to the side and watch. I swear you can see them thinking "that's IT? Those are my choices?? I'm surprised our species has lasted this long . . ."
Still, I think they're pretty clever. A number of years ago I watched one trying to get a drink out of a very shallow puddle on the sidewalk. They have very long, pointy beaks and the water wasn't more than a 1/2 inch deep at most. After one try, the grackle stood back and looked at the puddle . . . then he stepped into the water, leaned over, and lay his head down sideways into the puddle. His beak was almost submerged - he just opened it up and lapped the water with his tongue.
Totally cool.
Love birds.
Here's a Great-tailed Grackle - the kind we have here:

I hate gardening but I love chicken .......... sweet-and-sour
:agreed: :goodjob: so do I :mutley:
-
Yes, I do love birds and have several feeders and birdbaths in my yard, plus some bird houses. We have a wide variety of birds here, from the tiny hummingbirds to the large rock doves and crows. I seen dozens of different varieties in my yard. Some are here year round, others migrate through here for a few weeks in the spring and fall. It's a special treat to see the colorful goldfinches, indigo buntings and rose breasted grosbeaks during their short stays. Every year, house finches build a nest in a basket on our front porch and raise their little families, and other birds build nests in the bird houses or in trees and shrubs. I love listening to their various songs too.
-
ha nature when you holds us!!! lol I also love to hear that, it's really nice especialy when you are in rage, it calmes you down! All I need for instance!
-
I have a love/hate relationship with the birds around my house. The scissor-tail swallows build their mud nests in one spot on the front porch so that we can't use the front door because once the eggs hatch they will attack anyone coming to the door and they dive bomb the cats in the yard when they aren't even doing anything. They are great fun to watch but so very messy, especially when Miss Tiger, our bird cat, leaves me a nice pile of bloody feathers and a smear on the kitchen floor. A swarm of quail make a daily pass thru the back pasture, picking apart the horse apples which makes them disintegrate faster and they keep down the grasshopper population, but they terrorize the cats. Guess its all a part of living in the country.
-
especially when Miss Tiger, our bird cat, leaves me a nice pile of bloody feathers and a smear on the kitchen floor.
Hey that's a special present for you. She just wants to show you that she like you. Be glad that she doesn't want to teach you how do you have to catch a mouse. Then a mouse would run through your kitchen.
-
:agreed: it's true if you tell that to a vet he will tell you it's because your cat is proud and wants to show you he loves you so much!
I imagine if Tiger teaches you how to catch his tail!!! :mutley:
-
Personally i prefer flowers or diamonds to rodents, but my cat doesn't seem to take the hint.
-
Wait till Sylvene gets here and tells you about the Saturday afternoon search for the dead mouse hidden somewhere in my living room. Its rather embarrassing trying to explain to a visitor why your living room smells like a morgue.
-
In a morgue you have fresh air. You smell nothing. Good AC
-
Sable: "There's a dead mouse in here."
Sylvene: "Is that what that smell is..."
Sable yells for the other half: "You've got to get rid of that dead mouse!"
Sable's other half: "Where is it?"
Sable: "In here somewhere!"
Sylvene... having had cats, and one that looooved bringing in mice wisely kept her mouth shut and didn't let on that the first time her cat did that to her, she spent more time standing on a chair than sweeping the mouse out of the house. It's not a lot of fun if you are peering under the cupboards and a mouse makes a dash right at your face because the cat is trying to flush it out from the other side.
I was playing an online game with 5 guys when something scampered over my bare foot. It wasn't warm and furry. Mice have cold feet. I think I deafened the guys with my shriek over the chat. They were no help at all. One of the worst suggestions was to trap the mouse using a teacup. Teacup?? Yeah... over 6 years ago and I still remember that suggestion.

I've lotst track of the number of times we've moved all the furniture round in the lounge trying to get the mouse that's gone under first one chair and then the other. It's amazing the tiny tiny spaces they can get their bodies into. We always try to put a tupprware or something over it so we can lovingly scoop it up and put it outside alive. The last time we tried this with a vase and my husband dropped the vase over (he thought) the mouse to trap it, but dropped it on the damn thing and killed it. Got blood all over my vase too. Last night out bedroom door was shut and she couldn't bring in the pressie, so she just played with it in the hall til it died of fright. I have to say that was lot easier than chasing it round the lounge! We are animal lovers really we are, it just wears a bit thin at 3 am.
-
Mice can have sweaty feet too. So can rats. Clammy, sweaty feet. Believe me I know. I had pet rats :sooobad
-
Ew... Beanyfan... blood all over your vase. Luckily he didn't break your vase! *shudder* Poor little mouse.
-
it did receive a decent burial (we had to make sure the cat didn't find it again!)
-
When I was 11, I had a year-long science project involving mice - breeding to determine colour variation, etc. Started with 2 white mice and 2 black mice . . . ended up with over 60 mice in varying shades.
The cages were in my bedroom (do not even think about the smell . . .) - my cat, Mr. Moto, was determined to "cull the herd" on a regular basis and learned how to open the cage doors. We didn't know this for quite awhile; we just thought the little buggers were escaping between the bars.
I can still see my mother, who really didn't like the mice but did support my fledgling efforts at scientific enquiry, chasing Moto down the hall as he attempted to swallow a mouse whole, while on the run. She'd catch the cat, put her hand around his throat, and - more often than not - succeed in pulling a very damp, very confused, and probably very traumatised mouse out of his mouth. Said mouse would be delivered to me held at arm's length by it's tail.
She told me later that the mice were better than the colony of horned toads I collected and kept when I was about 6. I made outfits for them out of scraps of material, dug up ant colonies to collect the eggs for them to eat, and built them little houses out of shoe-boxes (my dad got me an old refrigerator box to keep them in and my toad town was inside the box. When they died, I insisted on giving them "proper" burials and she had to put up with my little toad cemetery in her flower bed - complete with a picket fence made of whitewashed popcicle sticks and tombstones with their names painted on for each grave.
Mice are cute - so are horned toads. Don't mind snakes, either (unless they're venomous). We don't have mice around here - or horned toads or snakes. Just lizards. Lizards aren't bad, but not as much fun.

In relationships, he gets bored easily, and tends to have a wandering eye. Saturn in Virgo will transit his Venus over the next year. I would say his relationship is definitely headed for divorceville. On the career front, it’s smooth sailing.
We will see but I'm sure after it a lot of people won't be there. Gone forever.

Haha! Good article. I like the earlier part:
The couple have been together for two stormy years, which included the night they were found outside a hotel suite in Los Angeles, covered in bruises and scratches after a boozy row.
"They've had the odd argument like any couple, that's part of the spice of their relationship," said a friend. Er, no actually.
Laying into your other half is not normal practice in healthy relationships.
Emphasis - mine... and so true... so sad...
-
Bruises, scratches ..... The odd argument? Makes you wonder where they really come from.

Famous last words:
Boromir (The Fellowship of the Ring, 2001)
Spock’s death was a good example of sacrifice being used as an emotive theme in a death scene. When combined with redemption, it becomes even more powerful and moving.
The character whom best exemplified this was Boromir, played by Sean Bean, an actor who can ... erm, die well, as he showed in 2002’s Equilibrium as well.
Sean Bean as Boromir in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings.
The first part of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings adaptation of the much-loved J.R.R. Tolkien classic was probably the most faithful to the source. What cinematic liberties Jackson took seemed to drive home the point of the story.
Boromir’s characterisation was a perfect example. He began to believe that the quest to destroy the One Ring was foolhardy, and the best hope for the forces of good would be for a brave and noble warrior to wield it. He attempted to steal it from Frodo (Elijah Wood), realising too late that he’d been subtly corrupted by the Ring, and his own pride.
Even his attempts to make amends by protecting Frodo’s companions fail, and the other two hobbits are seized by Orcs.
Boromir’s remorse and regret finally find expression when Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), the rightful king whom he’d resented, forgives him as he lays dying. His redemption is completed with his last breath: “I would have followed you my brother ... my Captain ... my King.”

If there is nothing new they start to talk about the weather. Even Sean.
Bean misses 'miserable' UK weather
Tuesday, November 11 2008, 00:18 GMT
By Michael Thornton
Rex Features
Sean Bean has revealed that he misses the British weather when he works in the US.
The Lord Of The Rings star said he pines for the UK's grey skies, his family and Sheffield United when spending time away from home.
"I miss a lot about England when I'm working away, even the slate grey skies," he is quoted as saying.
"I spend a fair chunk of time in Los Angeles and, after about ten days of warmth and unbroken clear skies, you start to yearn for a bit of good old British gloom and rain!"
He added: "Of course I miss my kids, and my friends and my mum and my dad and Sheffield United and my garden. The list goes on!"
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a135225/bean-misses-miserable-uk-weather.html
So he likes rain and bad weather. OK dear come to my place and you get wet every five minutes. It's rainy, cold and windy. And when he was outside he can sit in my office and I have the sunshine next to me. Good idea. 365 days a year nice weather.
-
Almost every Sean alert that I got yesterday was this article about the weather. It sounds like he would have a good time with you and your weather, Mike.
-
Be sure he would and I'm pretty sure that I can bare this weather too. It's so cold, need something to warm me up. Yes send him over but Cruella free, please. Still have this bad cold, don't need a bad belly too.
-
That bit has to be from an old, old interview - when's the last time he was in LA? 2005?
I'd love if it was recent, since BIV would apparently only rate as part of the "list" that goes on of things he misses . . . but I suspect that it was said before she got her hooks sunk into him so deeply.
-
Can be lighty. But it was very nice of you that you DESTROYED my dream that I can get one to warm me up. Thanks a lot. Now I'm going to freeze again.

Just a note

Does anyone here live near this restaurant? I wonder what the chances are for actually seeing him there?
-
As far as I know, the restaurant is in Leeds. He was there when he was filming.

There's a small Italian restaurant in Belsize that he apparently likes. It's conveniently located across the quad from the Oddbins . . .

Look what they think about our boy: The 15th worth fan
10. Sean Bean (Sheffield United)
Professional Northerner and former Sheffield United director who is always banging on about how much he loves the Blades. Fell out spectacularly with Neil Warnock, the former United manager, last year. “At a board meeting, he made a big show of how he wanted to make an important point,” Warnock said. “We all waited expectantly and then he said that we should get rid of Captain Blade. That was it. That was all he wanted to talk about. The team mascot. The fluffy thing on the touchline. Captain F**king Blade. That was the extent of his contribution."
Here's the rest
http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/content/news/story.aspx?brand=ENOnline&category=News&tBrand=enonline&tCategory=news&itemid=NOED30%20Nov%202008%2009%3A45%3A13%3A797
-
I'm sorry... but... ROFL!!!! :roll: :rofl: :roll:
-
He wanted to get rid of Captain Blade and I think they wanted to get rid of the other "Captain "100 % Blade" Blade".
-
...and of course we all know the credibility rating of the spectacularly fired Neil "Colin :fingers: Wanker" Warnock.
-
Well, that sounds like our boy ........ :mutley:
-
Interesting that the author of that equal opportunity hit piece seemed to think that the amount of money these celebs give to a club is indicative of their support (i.e., Elton John) - and also their willingness to support their home sides; at the same time he slams Sean (and the Gallaghers and Amy Winehouse, etc) for supporting their sides but not living in their hometowns . . . and he carefully avoids mentioning how much money Sean forked over for that position on the Blades BOD (I read somewhere that it was in the range of a quarter million).
Bizarre and utterly useless article.
-
600.000 GBPs.
-
If that article is true, I don't blame Sean for wanting to get rid of Captain Blade. When I took my boys to see the Blades, we were in the second row and he was trying to tease my kids. They were not impressed. He's worse than a circus clown! Football is too serious a sport to have him prancing around.
-
600.000 GBPs.
Half a million. That certainly puts his pre-nup with G. into perspective, doesn't it . . .? :rotfl1:
-
I guess he sees wives as a cheaper commodity. :mutley:
-
well they seem to be more available......
-
I guess he sees wives as a cheaper commodity. :mutley:
A wife can be very expensive if she does it right. And he will find out that sooner or later. BTW Sean would give up a wife but never the Blades. He was never really married to his wives he was always married to his beloved football club.
But here something other
Dark Tower
Like Fireball Island before it, Dark Tower was another amazing game from Milton Bradley that was truly geektastic and not appreciated enough when it came out. It had a fairly large playfield and a wicked cool electronic tower that controlled the game in the center. Copies of these now sell for $300 and up on eBay, and you can even play an electronic version of it online here. You play as one of four different kingdoms, trying to collect the three keys that you need in order to lay siege to the scourge of the land: The Dark Tower.
The pitch: Four different kingdoms, each ruled by a different king (Sean Bean, Nathan Fillion, Brendan Fraser, and Orlando Bloom), have come under the control of the ominous Dark Tower that sits in the middle of the borders. Ruled by a dark presence (a CGI Orson Welles), the four kings must don their armor and arm themselves in order to explore the dark wilderness that has sprang up in each of their kingdoms. Fighting brigands, doing battle with dragons, staving off the plague and collecting treasures brings them them ever closer to the Dark Tower, and to certain doom. Will all of them survive to take down evil? Or will they be taken from the land forever by the Dark Tower?
http://blog.spout.com/2008/12/11/top-ten-board-games-wed-like-to-see-as-movies/
I would like to see him with a crown again.

Ha! A movie of The Dark Tower would totally rock!

Don't know if this has already been posted.

But I was surprised that they know a lot of our secrets.
The 2000 census showed that 82% of British females aged 14-96 worship at the Temple of the Sacred Arse
He blew the audience away with his rough accent, and several women experienced an intense orgasm as he spoke.

ROFL... ROFL... ROFL....
What a find, Mike!! It obviously hasn't been updated in a while. Maybe we could help...
-
Yes I think we can :mutley:
-
I've never seen that before. It was really funny! And I think we could add a thing or two to that site.
-
It's possible to add things there. Lets think about it.
-
First of all they have to change "british females" - at least if I watch this website, the british females are not the worst *ggg*
-
I don't think they realise he has such an international 'following'!
-
We need to let them know that he is lusted after by women of all countries.

It has struck me before that we are a large, intelligent and powerful force that could change the world if we wanted to. United by Sean, but so much more....the Grand Order of the S.A.
-
I like your thinking, ayllass!
-
because of him, I know you, I've got lot of friends, I can practice my english and my french, I know "Sharpe" and because os "Sharpe" I knew Talavera's battle, living near talavera, I think he must know all of this, he must know because of him, lot of people are friends

Why am I not surprised.
Off-screen Bean, from all I have read, sounds like a boozy, sexist, Yorkshire soccer bore. His temper once landed him in court for causing actual bodily harm and at the age of 30, when he should have known better, he tattooed his left arm with the legend “100% Blade” for Sheffield United. He was once quoted, out of context he claims, as saying “a woman’s place is in the home”.
Good that he didn't say kitchen otherwise I would send him our :elf to smack him on the head, tho the "home" is already enough.
-
Thanks, Mike--I've never read that before. Even though it's several years old, it was very interesting. I didn't realize that a biography had been written about him.
-
This interview is from 2002. And yes there is a biography about him. But nothing special.
-

Something we already know.
April 17: The 25th anniversary of the death of WPC Yvonne Fletcher who was shot dead outside the Libyan embassy in London. Actor Sean Bean also celebrates his 50th birthday on this date.
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/entertainment-catch-all/2009/01/02/that-ll-be-the-date-86908-21009752/
-
yes, 50 years old, as we say in spain: half century
-
I wonder if he will have a big celebration for his 50th birthday, or if he would just prefer to keep it low key?
-
It's a Friday, so it will probably depend on whether of not the Blades are playing the next day or not . . .
-
50 years old, I think a very good and big party for him from his fans
-
Should we start planning the party?
-
Count me in.
-
I'll bring the balloons! What's a party without balloons? :flirt:
-
I think so
-
If they talk about football in Sheffield they talk about Sean:
Sean Bean, on the other hand, could probably be picked up relatively cheaply. The steel-jawed actor has a history of professed allegiance to Sheffield United and a tattoo declaring himself to be “100 per cent Blade”. A few grand per week and the offer of corrective laser surgery for the tattoo, however, and this 100 per cent Blade could swiftly become 100 per cent Blue.
Be sure he never would do this. I could bet everything I have on this.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/article1158390.ece
-
And you're not the only one, Mike!!!
-
That’s what I figured.
-
Very interesting what they say about his voice
http://voice123.com/peterfairburn
A full, rich resonant voice, underpinned by a north western English accent (Lancashire).
ideal for adverts on radio or tv where the accent comes out and people recognise the product ...because of the accent,,,have a listen and see what you think.?.also ive a great "game show " hoste voice , again this could be great for a messaging and on hold telephone ,lines as my voice is warm and welcoming , and quite informative, instead of the usual .....your call is in a queue etc ,,,?by which time they "have "put the phone down ..and you have lost another customer...get my point?
-
Lancashire????? Don't let him read that .....
-
This guy would have a unpleasant surprise if he reads that. But he said nice things about his voice.
If he would be the voice on my answerphone I would call myself a hundred times a day. OK nobody would be surprised when I say that he is already on my mobile.
BTW Sean should be so touchy about Lancashire. :mutley:
-
he might be a bit more upset about the link to Vernon Kaye than to Lancshire!
-
I hope SB never sees that quote....For observers of English history during the Civil Wars 1453-1487 there was a 'War of the Roses' between the houses of Lancaster and York. To call a Yorkshire lad a lancastrian (and vice versa) is an extreme insult. Tut.Tut.
A bit like confusing Nottinghamshire men with the sheep sh****rs from Derbyshire....Something not to be done in a pub near the end of the night or at a football match.
-
sheep sh****ers
:hahaha: Not your favorite fellows, hmmm?
-
I think every city has his "personal enemy": I was involved in the battle Hannover vs Braunschweig (Brunswick). If you are married to someone from Hannover you aren't allowed to travel to or mention Braunschweig. It's an old war too.
-
We just have a general north of the Thames versus south of the Thames....
-
We tend to divide up over regions (North/South; East/West' Midwest/everyone else); by state (too many to name); by city (San Francisco vs LA; New York vs Chicago; etc).
People say America exists because it's a 'melting pot' - sometimes, I think it exists because it's so big that people in different places can pretend they are autonomous . . .
I dislike 'othering' but it's human nature to define oneself against someone else - much easier to say 'we are NOT like THEM' than to say 'we are essentially the same' . . .
-
sheep sh****ers
:hahaha: Not your favorite fellows, hmmm?
It is really just 'friendly' county rivalry.....But imagine my horror when on the geneology quest to find a branch of my family came from Derbyshire..............I dare not tell my son who is an ardent Nottingham Forest fan....lol. and worse still they descended from southerners.

OK it isn't confirmed that it's Sean but yes I must say I want one. Him, guiding me home, lovely thought. But at the end of the year I'll be best customer at the patrol station and the car is worn out.
-
Even an imitation :frustrate: Sean voice, Mike?
Nice thought, but if they use the Yorkshire accent, I'd be soooo lost each time I use it. LoL
-
Imagine it would be a personal system and he calls you by your name. No police won't allow this, the number of accidents will accelerate skywards.
-
*Touch screen*
Soft bleep
*Touch Home icon*
"Hello Mike? Ready to come home with me?"
"Turn right at the next intersection onto Island."
"After a quarter mile, take a left onto Merrick."
-
:rofl
Oh yes Syl would be great if he would say it.
-
... and as you turn into the driveway.
"Welcome home, Mike."
-
I would like that he opens the door and say this. Dinner ready hot bath. Must keep my brain under control.
-
If Sean's voice is on the GPS, we would probably end up with a gas shortage. All of us would constantly be in our cars, going everywhere just so we could hear him.
-
......... and they would sue him for environmental pollution! NOT a good idea at all! But he could do at least a tape for us with nice encouraging instructions to do household things.
"Go down on your knees and .......... (clean the area behind the fridge)"
"Bow down and (scrub the bath tub)"
"Lean over and (make the bed)"
"Arche back and (clean the underside of your kitchen wall cabinet)"
................
-
I like that idea a lot, Soulmate!
-
I wouldn't buy that thing. Household, even that word make me shiver. I want that GPS thing. And if you care so much about our environment you can put it on your bike. Then you do something for your health and the environment.
Oh he could read bedtime stories. For women, 18+, be sure you'll have nice dreams. OH imagine him reading such stories. OMG stress for your hormone system. OK best would be if he would sit on my bedside and..............
-
mmm..... in what style Mike? Like the Christmas one? *grins*
All wonderfully loving and completely and adorably clueless?
Or... alll slow and hot and sexy?
Or... all masterful and commanding?
-
Can we combine all Syl?
-
Combine? Oh no, no, no... three choices depending on your mood, however...
:hellyeah2:
-
So I can have a new one everyday I want.
I think I choose slow and hot and sex for the weekend.
A nice shoulder to lean on would be great tonight. Construction kit Sean.
-
Sean's bedtime stories would be best sellers. I like the idea of the different styles for different moods. Would these be audio only, or would there be video involved?
-
Uh MF what a wonderful idea. A video where Sean is reading bedtime stories. Sitting at an open fire, wearing something nice, shirt not closed till the top, frameless or golden readers, nice haircut.
Be sure I wouldn't sleep. :coma:
-
It probably would be very difficult to sleep after watching those stimulating videos, but if you did fall asleep you might have some wonderful Sean filled dreams.
-
Be sure I would have a nice dream. :coma:
-
What did I miss this time?
http://www.citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090125/GJNEWS02/701259922/-1/CITNEWS
Sean Bean, a New Hampshire National Guard member from Laconia, said he knows of a fellow guard member who racked up a $1,000 phone bill while serving overseas.
"It's expensive to call from places like Iraq or Afghanistan," Bean said.
If he would talk about India I would understand but Afghanistan or Iraq. Could it be that there are two Sean Beans? I don't know so I think additional reaseach is required.
-
I saw that yesterday. I wonder what this Sean Bean looks like?

The worst five football films
When Saturday Comes
Wrong on so many levels, this Sean Bean fronted flick met severe criticism for its unrealistic take on the professional game. It was littered with inaccuracies and the live football scenes were a joke. To add insult to injury, most of the film’s songs were penned by Def Leppard’s Joe Elliot.
The bed thingy wasn't good either.
-
I had just read this. I would still like to see WSC, if I'm ever able to, since it doesn't come in region 1 format. I don't care if it's a bad football movie. I would only be watching it because of Sean.
-
MF it's now on Youtube in 10 parts -but better than nothing..
-
Thanks, beanyfan! I'll definitely go watch it there.
-
MF, those are just one critic and Mike's opinions and like everyone in the world has arses, everyone has opinions. I quite like WSC and there are plenty of people out there who enjoyed WSC. While it made that particular "worst" list it has also made several "best" lists and has a ton of good reviews by people who actually have the credentials to make a respected opinion. Its a nice little film about a man and how he grows and discovers what is really important in life and what he is capable of with a nice little love story on the side, not about football per se. Considering what you have liked and disliked of Sean's so far, I think you will enjoy it.
-
I enjoyed it. Who cares whether it was realistic or not? The fact that he was apparently already 10 years too old to play the part passed me by as well. Good chance for some good acting, a little bit of tissue work required and loads of Sean. Nuff said.
-
I've read some of the criticism of WSC before, but that doesn't mean much to me at all. If I only watched movies that got good reviews, I would be watching very few movies. Among Sean's movies that I've seen so far, of course I liked some better than others. But I have been very happy to see all of them, as I slowly make my way through the list.
Thanks again for letting me know it's on You Tube. I'm going to watch it tomorrow night (Saturday). The computer may not be the ideal place to watch a movie, but at the same time, it lends a kind of intimacy to the situation.
-
I know nothing about football, but I suppose with this film it's like with a lot of other films. They are not very realistic. I have seen nurses laugh their arses of about medical series, and I myself have laughed a lot about films about teachers. One in particular springs to mind, Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfeiffer. Lots of people think that's a good film. As a story, as a concept, it's pretty good, but don't ever think the teaching part was realistic.
I enjoy WSC for the same reasons Sable does, and I have been told by my pupils, who know about football, that the football bits are not particularly good. They actually didn't mind, because they liked the love story. So, to each his own.
-
Since I know very little about sports, it wouldn't mean anything to me if the film is inaccurate in that regard. I want to watch it because Sean is in it. I look forward to seeing all his films and the diverse characters he portrays.
-
And I even think it must not only be seen as a sports-movie - it is a movie about dreams of simple, quite poor people and how they deal with their lifes (a bit comparable with The Full Monty for example). This is what I liked about the movie. And Pete Postlethwaite was brilliant too!
-
Exactly, and I'm sure The Full Monty wasn't realistic either the way they portrayed it. If every film that was ever made, would have to be dismissed because of that, I think there would be very few left.
-
Every time I see Pete Postlethwaite, I think how much I hate him for killing Teresa in Sharpe's Enemy. I really need to get past that and recognize him for the good actor that he is.
-
Remember him in "The name of the father" with Emma Thomson
-
I just finished watching WSC on You Tube. It wasn't ideal conditions, picture wise. I kept the viewing screen regular size most of the time since full screen was too unclear, so that made for a pretty small picture. But despite that and the fact that it had to be watched in segments, I really liked it! For one thing, Sean was in nearly every scene. That's pretty rare in his movies. To me, it wasn't so much of a sports movie, as it was a movie about relationships--family relationships and man and woman relationships. And it was about a person wanting a different way of life. I know that some people have said Sean was too old to play the role, but I didn't see it that way.
I liked his character, how he matured, and how he came to the realization that he loved Annie. But he did have fun with that stripper too.
I confess to rewinding some of the scenes a few times. I'm sure you all know which scenes I'm talking about.
-
Ditto to all of that -including the rewinding!!
I had no idea how old he was when he did that until i read it somewhere. I also wonder how many times the scene with the stripper was 'fluffed' so that it had to be replayed. Didn't look too much like acting did it!??
It's great isn't it when you can tick another Beanie film of your 'must see' list.
What's next?
-
That movie definitely was on my "must see" list, so I'm very glad that you told me about You Tube, beanyfan. It's very curious when you look at the number of viewings for each of the 10 segments. They vary widely in number, so a lot of people are just watching one or two segments and not the whole movie. I don't get that. I wanted to see all of it.
Since I'm trying to go through Sean's movies in order, the next one on my list is Airborne, but Blockbuster now says that is unavailable, even though it's still listed on their site. Also in my queue is Bravo Two Zero, but that says a very long wait. I'm also having trouble watching the Sharpe movies in order, like I want to. Either they are in very short supply at Blockbuster or they are very popular. The 2 that I've had in my queue for a while, Sword and Regiment, state that there is a long wait or very long wait for them.
I've had to go back and select a movie I skipped over the first time, How To Get Ahead in Advertising. I had skipped it since I heard it wasn't so great and Sean wasn't in it for long, but at least it's available, so I guess they'll send that next. I'll probably also add Jacob, which I had skipped over originally too. After these, I may have to go further into the future to find some available movies.
-
I also wonder how many times the scene with the stripper was 'fluffed' so that it had to be replayed. Didn't look too much like acting did it!??
ROFL! There was an old, old, old interview somewhere for a Men's mag where Bean says they "fluffed" the Hurley showing her tits shot in Sharpe's Enemy many, many, many times.
-
I think its on the Fantasy Football show where he mentioned that shooting the WSC stripper scene took a whole day. They wanted to be sure to get the best angles.
Yeah, right. :pigsfly
-
When I was watching that stripper scene, I wondered how many times Sean purposely screwed up so that they would have to keep reshooting it. It looked like he was thoroughly enjoying himself. I can easily believe that they took a whole day to film that scene.
-
Sometime ago... someone found the website of the actress who played the stripper. She talked a bit about the scene. Did anyone save the link or download it?
-
Here is her website:
http://www.rebeccanichols.co.uk/index.html
She says that her role as Sean's one night stand was "yummy!"
-
I love the way she describes the role as 'small but significant'. -bless!
-
Haha. Thanks, Moonflower. Love the captions on the photos in her gallery.
-
I love the way she describes the role as 'small but significant'. -bless!
Well, judging from the look on his face in WSC when he finds out she has the SUFC tat on her bum, she was pretty significant .... :mutley:
-
I think she would have been pretty significant to him no matter what she had tattooed on her bum.
Some girls have all the luck.

It's a bit alarming then that they've been airing quite a few Beanfree ads recently.....boo hoo....hope his contract's been renewed
-
Have they? I caught a new O2 one with the alluring voice, with a load of floating ducks yesterday which i hadn't seen before. perhaps you could put in a word while you're at the arena tonight Aylass!
-
That was a cute ad, along with the alluring voice. I found out about it a couple of weeks ago.
This may well have been posted about here in the past, but here is a mention about Sean in a new interview with actor Paul McGann. I wasn't sure which thread this fit in best, but I thought this one was as good as any.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/mar/15/paul-mcgann-actor
I had been filming Sharpe and injured my leg. I woke up in London's Cromwell Hospital to a call from Sean Bean. He'd been drafted in to take over the part. It was a gracious gesture on his part.
-
Very true. That is indeed a gracious gesture.
-
" sorry about your leg Paul. na na na na na"
-
" sorry about your leg Paul. na na na na na"
Do you think that's what Sean really wanted to say? Or maybe he said it after he hung up. :rofl

Just can't get over that nasty fake smile. Geeze. Suck a lemon, why doncha . . .
Her jaw is clenched so tight that her chin is pulled to one side.
-
Just shows that she isn't much of an actress (at least in front of cameras)! Any actress worth her salt would at least be able to ACT charming, happy, and/or supportive. Maybe she needs a tetanus shot.
-
*Snork*
I've always wanted to see video of her facial expressions to see if that jaw is fixed or moving . . . she looks like a grinder, to me.

Maybe :bride: is a grinder. I would have thought that SB has spent enough on his own dental work not to want to potentially spend a lot on :bride:'s!

Watch it all the time, galamb - reading nonverbal language has been a hobby of mine for many years, so it's a lot of fun to watch. People have so many 'tells' . . .
Like Sean and the nose rubbing when he's being less than honest in interviews. Not the swipe under to catch the snot - but the quick, one-fingered rub along the side of his nose. That, and the neck rubbing and the occasional eye rubbing . . . and the stumbling over words . . . and the crooked smile accompanied by the small shrug (which looks ever so charming). All those things indicate someone is lying.
Poor sod is an open book, though he never really says anything at all. It sometimes amazes me how unaware he is of his 'tells' - you'd think an actor would have some training in these things.
And I'm not criticizing his falsehoods in interviews; the man is entitled to privacy. It's just so OBVIOUS.

I'm not sure RADA training has influenced personal behavior for either SB or :bride: very much.

Then Sean comes and Beanifies it at the end and the whole package is thoroughly satisfying.
:mutley:
-
I wonder if Sean knows that he has "The Most Authentic Voice In England"?
I've never heard the word gruffles before. - "We know how you feel about it," Sean gruffles, "because we feel the same." Maybe that's more of a British word.
I do like the word "Beanifies"!

I think he made that up - if you look up 'gruffle' you get
"to eat hastily, with great zeal" or
"the hair that grows on the lower back - proof of masculinity" (may I digress and say - ick.) or
"an evil red fire-breathing monster from a children's TV programme" or
"a type of food (in the Star Wars world)" or
"a curse word"
Cats apparently making 'gruffling' noises in their sleep . . . some singers have a 'muffled-gruffled' voice . . . a shaving cut might be called a 'gruffle', as well . . .
Ah! Getting closer . . .
a rap singer named 'Supecell' has a "raspy, gruffled voice"

Dare I ask? What is Donner meat?
-
Minced lamb and additives usually served with salad in a pitta bread as a donner kebab.
-
"additives" as in... "other parts better not ask" ?
-
You really do not want to know Sylvene .
-
Now, now, XB - even though they look gross and taste gross, and have enough fat in them to clog the arteries of a football team, and are really nothing more than slowly rotating petri dishes of bacteria laden mystery meat . . .
I take it back. They are beyond horrible.
I've heard that the 'authentic' kind (which is marinated lamb slices stacked one atop the other and roasted on a vertical spit) is pretty good - but I've never seen one of those.
-
We have them here. Good stuff ......
-
Donner meat is called Gyros here in US. And Lighty, prepared properly with the slices of lamb and beef together with the proper seasonings, its quite tasty and nowhere near as deadly. Its actually made from quite lean slices of meat. I had it all the time in Germany but anywhere else where its done as the mystery meat boulders on a spit, you can forget it. I saw a telly piece on how they make that stuff. Trust me, you do NOT want to know.
-
Gyros is the greek and Döner the Turkish variant. Originally Gyros is made of pork and Döner of mutto, but you get it in different variations on the street. Actually the quality in real restaurants is quite good and not to compare with the scaring fast food stuff you get in takeaways.
-
Yes, there are a couple (at least) of places here in Vegas that sell doner kabob - I checked out one of them awhile back and it was like walking into an East London chippie - greasy and disgusting! yum. Not.
I've never been a fan of gyros; I think it's the spices (or maybe just the grease. yarg). I'm not sure what the spices are- suppose I could look it up - but it's never appealed to me. My son used to love them though, before he turned herbivore.
On edit: just looked it up. It appears that most gyros spice mixes include either fennel or caraway along with the more basic spices. I don't care for either of those (it's that damned licorice/anise taste - yuck, yuck, yuck). That explains it!
-
that sounds nasty, I never liked the anise taste either. I've never had a gyro but my folks used to make kabobs on the grill we marinaded the meat sometimes in Italian salad dressing and it was great!

Nasty comments on that article. geeze. If the lady was proud of having had Sean as a student, then it was her boast to make - pretty damned churlish of some know-nowt to suggest that the article shouldn't have been written as it was (or at all).
Sometimes it really is true that if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all.
She sounds like she had a fulfilling life. Sympathies to her extended family.

I've just read the comments. That's really mean. And stupid! Seems to me, she was a tough and experienced lady. My thoughts go out to their family.

Loki was Sean's character's name.

Yeah, I know, but in the article they call him A Loki, as if it's some kind of species and not a name.

Well if you wikki it a loki is a sort of god helping shape shifter, so it can be a something. Someone juist hasn't seen the film or done their research.
-
I'm sorry to be such a bore, but Loki is the name of a Norse god or jötunn or both and not a species. Nobody is called a loki, that was my point.

*devil's advocate post*
Oh, I dunno. Those prints are the one's Sean signed for Steve last year (year before last?). He did it so Steve could sell them - it wasn't associated with a charity at any point. He's an entrepreneur and Sean helps him out. I don't think he can write his way out of a paper bag, but he doesn't seem like that bad a bloke. Just a bloke. Look at that picture on his website (of he, Gary, and Sean) - if you didn't know who Gary and Sean were, would you see them as any different than Steve? (actually, if you didn't know Sean, I suspect he'd be singled out as the seedy one . . . damn he was plastered!)

-
if i am not wrong, i saw even a group on facebook on this subject... i'll search again, cause i am not sure
-
I haven't heard of that game. I never would have cast Gerry and Sean as twin brothers, but I guess it could work in a film based on a game where the brothers didn't look alike anyway, although there is also an age difference. I bet you would be first in line at the movie theater, Mike!
-
Be sure I'll be the first.
Oh I'm sure they would find an explanation why they are twins. Stupid or not (I guess it will be stupid, but who cares Gerry and Sean together)
-
The Gamer community has been jonesing (where did that bit of American slang come from?) for a Metal Gear Solid movie for years! And the myth in the circle is that the looks of Snake was based on Sean. However, only just last year, the Japanese creator (I forget his name) & Konami (the company) announced that they have no plans to make it a movie.
There's even a website devoted to the movie possibilities: http://mgs.moviechronicles.com/

So . . . is Sean the secret blogger, trying to explain how complex these characters really are? :slyfox
I agree, Syl - too much time on their hands!
-
It's nothing new to us that Sean has played a lot of villians, but I enjoy reading what others think about him. I agree that the person who made the website does have a bit too much time on his hands.

But how does Sean Bean always manage to land the best character in whatever he is doing? Other than virtue of being awesome.
-
Actually, he doesn´t GET the best character, he MAKES it the best character, because yes, whatever else, he´s a great actor and he can BECOME the character. That´s why he always stands out.

I didn't know that there was such a thing as a cell phone charm. It would be quite a conversation piece. Did you order it yet, Mike?
-
We have them here too. Short chains with a charm on the end you attach to your mobile. Never felt the need to get one, and won't be going out of my way to get this one either. :mutley:

@MF not I didn't order one. I have other plans with Sean :quiet: Be sure no padlock will be involved.

Mmm, okay, Mike. If anyone else has an idea of what to do with that padlock. Any suggestions gratefully received.

The Safest Wall in Seoul, South Korea
Young couples show their love for each other by locking a pair of padlocks to this fence, and throwing the keys over the edge. By throwing away the keys, they are showing their undying commitment to each other.

Famous home brew fanatics include actor Sean Bean
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/182104/Home-brewing-is-ale-n-hearty/
-
Maybe now we know why he's not been seen in many pubs lately.
-
Does it mean he doing drinks himself or he really bought something :huh???:
Whaever it is :beer2:
-
I know a few people in England who brew their own beer. I don't know if you can still get them, but there was a time when you could get DIY beer brewing kits at Boots. Exbill will know. And yes, I can see our boy doing that. Pottering in the garden and brewing in the shed. Why not?
-
Yes the kits are still widely available through my employers . It is still quite a popular hobby in the UK .
-
I suspect his earlier comment about cooking might have more to do with home-brewing than food . . .
Best wishes to him - a good home-brew is great. A bad home-brew is horrid.
-
Well, I can assure you that after one or two glasses, they all taste the same ....... :mutley:

I'm not a beer drinker, so I wouldn't know a bad one from a good one.
I know that there are a lot of pubs in the UK, but it's hard to believe that 38 pubs go out of business every week.
-
I'm not a beer drinker, so I wouldn't know a bad one from a good one.
I know that there are a lot of pubs in the UK, but it's hard to believe that 38 pubs go out of business every week.
It's an awful situation - exacerbated by the smoking ban, taxes charged on pub sales but not shop sales, the stranglehold that corporations have on the pub business - it's harder and harder to find an independent - and of course the horrible economy (among other things). A shame to see a genuinely ancient institution dying, especially the CAMRA pubs (I believe Sean is a real ale supporter).
Interesting information here: http://www.camra.org.uk/
(on a different note - the Great British Beer Festival is the first week of August in London . . . if he's not working, I'd be surprised if Sean didn't come a calling . . .)
-
I think it's independent pubs. A lot of them are bought up by the big companies, so they all sell the same stuff and there's no nice little surprises anymore. Over all the years I visited England I haven't seen many pubs disappear, but they did change considerably, and usually not for the best. Even the names are changed to something really silly.
-
It's a bit of a lose/lose situation really. The big chains have bought up all the city centre pubs and turned them all into clones (based on some master plan from their marketing people). The true independant is very hard to find and they usually are centred on food (or are in such a touristy place that they can't fail to make money and can charge whatever they like).
Outside the cities, country pubs are struggling because people won't drive to them like they used to (No bad thing) but they are generally still owned by chains and the tenants struggle to get the turnover they need to keep going. Several near where I live have been turned into private houses or have been turned into restaurants. The ones that have stayed as pubs change landlords every year (or even every few months in some cases) as people try to live their dream and make a living and go bankrupt in the process.
I've done my fair share of home brewing / winemaking in the past. Work means that I've not done so much in recent years - you do need time to do it all. The dregs from the tubs /barrels are good for the garden though so it' not just the brewer that benefits from a bit of beer DIY.

What's wrong with that? Its not like he's working at a deli counter. Its his own kitchen. His hands look quite clean. You could hardly expect him to wear rubber gloves in his own home.
-
I wonder what it is about Seamaster watches? My dad has one that he bought in the early 60s - still wears it every day, even though something 'died' inside and it won't wind automatically anymore. I think we could send it to Omega to be fixed, but he won't take it off long enough to do that . . . so he just winds it every day.
Very attached to that watch, he is.

I used to put chocolate bars in my back pocket (in the wrapper) just so they would melt. Then I'd very messily eat them. Life was very good when I was a kid.
He could grab me anytime. Bet I'd melt in his hand, too . . . :howl:

What in heavens name have rubber glows to do with to Boromir's sword? And chocolate on his fingers? An interesting mental leap.

The starving animal killed Horatio Chapple, 17, as he slept among a group of 13 young explorers on the Norwegian island of Svalbard on a dream wildlife trip.
Isn't this the place where 'Far North'was filmed?
-
Sure was! It was mentioned that when Sean was filming there that there were soldiers posted around with large caliber rifles to keep the polar bears away.
-
To bad they didn't use people with guns instead they used an electrical wire that was suppose to sound an alarm if a bear got too
near. However it didn't work. So in the end they had to use a gun. Very sad story.

Sean Bean is one of my favorite actors. I have noticed that in every movie he has at least one noticable swallow.In Troy, trying to get brad pitts character to stay: In national treasure, after the stairs collapsed under the church. I've never noticed it with any other actor before. Maybe I am the only one who sees it.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000293/board/thread/187112577
-
Yup his distinctive swallow is pretty well omnipresent in all of his films. I suppose an actor only has so many things he can draw upon to show emotion/reactions and that is one of his tried and tested. Onlly those with SBOCD would probably notice it.
-
Agree about the mannerisms - the obvious swallow and the nose-bridge pinch are his two biggies in the dramatic arena, followed slightly less often by the chin thrust. The slight head cock and lop-sided grin are part and parcel of his more light-hearted arsenal. Then there's the finger rubbing (seen most lately in his bedroom scene with Michelle Fairley in GoT) - and the non-existent ring twisting (always the left ring finger) that he does in interviews; I think that last may be a nervous tick.
And more besides - the guy is a bundle of mannerisms, actually . . .
Bless! :goodgrl2:

You forgot the heavy breathing .....

Biting on his thumbnail...Lighty, if we weren't card carrying members of SBOCD we never would notice these things in the first place. They're all part and parcel of what makes him so extraordinary.
-
Licking his lips....
-
...and don't forget that tongue that he has absolutely no control over. :thumbsup:
-
Trouser hoisting (good one!)
Thumbnail biting (completely forgot about that one)
Licking his lips (good grief - how did I neglect that one?!!)
And of COURSE the tongue thrust!
Excellent (she says, rubbing her hands together . . . wait! Doesn't he do that, too??)
Does he do 'grabbing/massaging the back of his neck' enough for it to qualify? It's more of an interview thing than an acting thing, I think . . .
*proceeding with the assurances that my SBOCD membership is secure! bwahahahaha . . .

It's the same for me.
-
twisting the imaginary ring
-
I don't think this would be the same as rubbing his chin, but I know that he does a face scratch on his cheek. That's more of an interview mannerism.
-
BJ - yep, summer break . . . how could you tell? :mutley:
Ring twisting and cheek scratching . . . have we seen those in roles? Should we include interview ticks along with acting mannerisms . . . or are they ticks? Maybe it's ALL acting, regardless.
The only time I've ever seen him sit almost absolutely still was in that long interview he did about the Blades - it was on BladesWorld - when they were planning the march on Parliament. He was extremely composed and calm; resolute in his conviction, direct in his gaze and well-spoken.
Granted, he was discussing something that was clearly very, very important to him, but I had to wonder, 'who is the REAL Sean Bean? That guy - or the eye-averting shy fella with the cheeky grin and the portfolio of twitches and ticks?'
-
I don't think this would be the same as rubbing his chin, but I know that he does a face scratch on his cheek. That's more of an interview mannerism.
Oh yes! and he uses his middle finger to do it!
-
Is the middle finger pointing thing a European/UK trait? I've noticed it with several British/European actors. Perhaps because Americans use the 'one finger salute' and Brits use the 'two finger salute' so that middle finger doesn't carry the same connotation that it does when we see it being used for everything from pointing to smoothing errant eyebrow hairs . . .
Here's Draft two - just a couple more to go . . .

I think we should be grateful he doesn't do the same thing Britney Spears does with her tongue. Ever watched that? She nearly touches the tip of her nose.
However, I'm digressing.
Sorry, can't think of anything else, apart from the scratching his balls in the scratchy gif. But that was just because he didn't think anyone was watching.

The most famous person I’ve ever met was Sean Bean who was in Leeds filming the Red Riding Trilogy for Channel 4 a few years ago.
“My then girlfriend and I went up and spoke to him and he was really lovely, quite shy actually and seemed a bit embarrassed that we wanted to speak to him at all. He was happy to have his picture taken with us and everything and overall we were struck by how nice he was, which, somehow, is something you don’t always expect from a TV and movie star.

From a Billy Connolly interview
You're aware that with your film work, by the way, that you rival Sean Bean. That Sean Bean is a human spoiler: this film aside, you seem to die in everything you appear in. As does Sean Bean.
That's me, that's me! Dead man walking! If I start supporting Sheffield United, you'll know I've bought the whole thing!
Did you ever see him in When Saturday Comes?
Yes! Yes! I think Sean Bean is - it sounds stupid to say - underrated. But I think he is. He gets huge publicity and huge admiration, but I don't think he's held in the light he should be. I think he's extraordinarily better than he's given credit for.

I'm not sure I really want him to be famous as much as well regarded. Famous is all well and good and a high profile will always help with the awareness of casting agents and directors though prob. all of them know who he is by now but I want him to be really, really *known* and thought of as a wonderful versatile actor and then be A list relevant - after Tracey, anything is possible and I want more in that vein, more 'serious' stuff that shows off what this uber talented man can do.
I kinda want to re-write some of him; to lose the silly comments that accompany every article about him - the dying and the "one doesn't simply" line, and the "four times married" that is shoved in everywhere however irrelevant to the subject matter of the piece - and replace those ideas of him with those wonderful scenes from the "Enemy of Man" trailer, his amazing performance in "Clarissa" - the most visceral yet gentlemanly fight scenes I have ever seen b.t.w. - where the viewer goes from utter revulsion to pity in a moment; how powerful was that and how many actors could provoke such a change in those feelings in an audience in a split second? - or Tracey, not necessarily the more well known roles but the ones that show what he can do. I want his talent to be taken seriously, really seriously - I want an Oscar for him!
The 'problem' with our knowledge of him is that we study every move, every nuance, every look in a way that the more casual observer may not have done, and we can look at any part of his career at any time, or huge blocks of one era, in a way that 'normal' viewers and maybe casting agents just don't have the time or interest to do. Our close analysis, watching of everything not just the more famous roles, and re-watching prob. isn't possible for most people and they miss out on seeing what he is truly capable of because of it - our joy, their loss.

Togo Igawa: how I became the RSC’s first Japanese actor
During the rehearsals of The Fair Maid of the West, the director Trevor Nunn gave me only one note: “Togo, your character, Alcade, I think he is always angry.” The next day, I started twitching my right shoulder when Alcade showed his anger. When we performed the play at the Swan’s official opening, with the Queen, Sean Bean whispered when we passed each other in the corridor: “Togo, the Queen laughed at your twitching.” It was a majestic honour for the first Japanese actor to become a member of the company.

I totally agree with Linda, Sean is NUMBER ONE in my book not GC. I've watched many of his movies and
he does nothing for me. I'm sure he's a nice person, but he doesn't have the intense ANIMAL MAGNETISM
that Sean has !!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hellyeah2:

Good looking obviously but yeah, no magnetism, no 'phwoar' manliness whatsoever. Sean is positively dripping with testosterone and George, well, not!
I read a quote from someone who had met him and she said he is utterly charming, and even at her age gave her quite the flutter with his ability to make you feel as though you are the only woman in the room, the only woman who has ever mattered to him, however, she also said that he is *the* most manicured man she has ever met; every hair perfect, eyebrows immaculate, the cleanest pores she has ever seen, nails buffed like mirrors and little diamonds in his buttons. Obviously there are times when our lad looks as though a facial might do him some good, and his hair has needed a wash in some interviews but I would much prefer his brand of 'real man' masculinity over George's any day.
And how much time would GC need in the bathroom? My rule has always been to avoid a man who has more products than me and spends more time in the bathroom than I do!
As to a nice person, well, not that long ago his friends and his pot-bellied pig came before relationships, and then there were/are the practical jokes. He's a renowned practical joker keeping things going on and on, but, funnily enough, doesn't like it when he is the butt of the joke. When "Gravity" came out, Tina Fey did that joke at an awards ceremony about George's character not being heroic in the film so much as that George would rather drift out into space and die than spend any time with a woman his own age - hilarious - but his 'retribution' went on for some time, all in the name of a good joke, but perhaps not really.
Also, one of his previous girlfriends - an English model/presenter called Lisa Snowdon - was interviewed after they broke up and said that the practical jokes were endless. She had spent all day getting ready for an awards event and was wearing a white dress which I'm guessing he would have seen in advance, and he put a balloon with red wine in it on the top of the door so when she came in ... when you think about the time and effort spent making even someone as beautiful as her ready for a red carpet event ... let alone the cost of the no doubt beautiful and very expensive dress that was ruined (not to mention the surrounding furnishings), well, I don't think that was funny. I wouldn't care who he was, that would be the end of that relationship for me. So nice? Nah, not so much!

Thanks for the info Amber I was unaware of all this silly behavior. So your right nice is not the right word
for him. Immature 12 year old seems more accurate. Which is a sad comment for a man over 50 !!

Actor and former Mr Universe sets up Devon Bed and Breakfast for quiet life
“I remember sharing a car back from a set with Sean Bean and we were talking and I said I had a yacht in Turkey and he replied ‘you lucky bugger’. My whole impression of him is he has made a lot of money and made great films but he was envious of me with my boat.”
http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Actor-Mr-Universe-sets-Devon-Bed-Breakfast-quiet/story-26372588-detail/story.html
-
It's a small world. I've just googled his B&B and discovered it's only a couple of streets away from a place I stayed in for a weekend break at the end of last year.
I wonder what Sean was more envious of... the boat in Turkey or the ability to switch off and laze about on said boat. We have evidence from interviews that he admits to not being good at taking breaks (as in holidays) and being a bit of a workaholic.
-
I could be wrong, we don't know him so all we have is what he says in interviews and a lot of conjecture, but I have always thought he is one of those men that didn't really get a chance to learn how to live well, and I think it's part of the working class, northern, work ethic thing. My Dad was the same, and his Dad would have been too, and those ethics if you like, obviously rub off on children. My father was always proud that he had never been unemployed, not one day; he had always finished a job either with holiday to use up or left a job on Friday and started another on Monday, not that he had that many. He had been a specialist Japanese telegraphist in WWII - not the most useful thing to be in civvy street - so the day after he returned home after he was de-mobbed, he started on a bricklaying course because so much rebuilding was needed afterwards. He went from that straight into a job with the government again with no time off. He never collected any benefits either; he worked, he earned, he earned more than he spent and he paid for all he needed. Benefits, to him, were for people who needed them, who couldn't work, and as he could, that was that, and he had his dour Scottish father to thank for those values but they are typical of northern, working class men of a certain age and even though my father, by his intelligence and his job, became middle class - just as Sean has - those values and ideas never left him and he truly didn't know what to do with himself when he had to take leave from work. He went fishing, and not very often, but apart from that he just did work on our houses, home improvements, decorating, landscaping the gardens, whatever we needed or wanted to be done, and whatever would improve the value of the properties, and in the evening he watched television. He didn't seem to know how to do much beyond the work, and the relaxation of television when he was too tired to do anything else.
From what I've read, Sean sounds the same and men like him need to learn how to relax, learn how to do other things that give them peace. He says he reads, sleeps, watches television and potters in his garden, and there are the odd short breaks like Matera but the rest is all work, work, work. He definitely needs a strong woman in his life to show him the way - if you will - show him what other things there are in life, what places there are to visit without it being a work thing, without thinking about work. There are so many exhibitions, galleries and museums in London let alone everywhere else but unless you are fine doing those kind of things on your own, which he doesn't seem to be - only children have such an advantage in life in that respect - you need someone to do them with and that someone has to do the guiding in the case of someone like Sean. There is so much more to life than he is getting with his workaholic nature but I'm betting he could learn - he is certainly intelligent enough - he just needs a knowledgeable and strong hand on the tiller, in my opinion.

Samantha Bond: "Pierce Brosnan is a better kisser than Sean Bean"
It isn’t that, it’s just I haven’t made a James Bond film in 17 years, and if you roll all my screen time into one it would be the smallest role I’ve ever done. So although I’m proud to have done them, I had a hoot, and yes, Pierce Brosnan is a great kisser, better than Sean Bean. But I don’t know what else to say.

Which Yorkshire stage or screen star, past or present, would you like to take for dinner?
It would be either Judi Dench or Sean Bean. Dame Judi can play just about anything, and always does it so superbly well.
And Sean Bean……well, he ticks all the boxes for me. I love his accent, I could listen to him talking with my eyes closed, and it would send shiver up and down my spine.

My Yorkshire: Andrew Gale (http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/lifestyle/my-yorkshire-andrew-gale-1-7657683)
Andrew Gale is (cricket)captain of Yorkshire, who won the County Championship in 2014 and again in 2015.
[....]
Which Yorkshire screen or stage star, past or present, would you like to take out to dinner? I’d probably say Sean Bean. He’s a Sheffield lad and when I was growing up I watched When Saturday Comes, a film about a footballer who fell off the rails a bit. He got himself back on track by scoring the winning goal at Sheffield United. My dad used to say to me if you go out drinking, that’s what will happen to you.

Other previous Corsa owners include former world rally champion Colin McRae and the actor Sean Bean, both of whom owned a first-generation Nova. Bean bought his Nova for £100 from friends when his own car (a BMW) was stolen.

Don Carmody is probably not the first person to be convinced of the merits of television by The Game of Thrones.
The long-time film producer, who has been behind some of Canada’s most iconic movies as well as international hits such as 2002’s Oscar-winning Chicago, may be at the Banff World Media Festival to receive what amounts to a life-time achievement award, but he is a relative newcomer to this golden-age of television. And, at least partially, he has two members of the Westeros bunch to thank.
It was on the Toronto set of Silent Hill: Revelation that actors Sean Bean and Kit Harington — Ned Stark and Jon Snow, themselves — finally convinced the producer to give this little HBO show they were on a chance.
“I wasn’t really watching television,” Carmody says. “But they just bugged me and bugged me. I finally watched it and went ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ But not only that, I get it. It’s just a long movie, a serialization of a great story. So I understand that.

Game Of Thrones Star Dominic Carter Talks To #ThroneWatch: “You Don’t Mess With Sean Bean”
Given the complexity of Game of Thrones characters, we wondered if Ned Stark would have ever turned to the dark side in such a corrupt environment, but Dominic thinks not.
“I don’t think so…it’s Sean Bean for God’s sake! You don’t mess with Sean.”he said.
Good point.

An interview with Paul Joseph Watson
Given that you are now bigger than Madonna on Twitter, a woman widely regarded as the biggest pop star in the world. Is it safe to say that you have overtaken Sean Bean as Sheffield’s most famous export?
Madonna is not the biggest anything anymore, she might be the oldest slag on the planet given her behaviour, which isn’t befitting of someone at virtually Grandma age. She needs to grow old gracefully.
Sean Bean’s popularity is also on the wane. I knew someone who met him in a pub in Sheffield and said he was a pompous twat. He also supports Sheffield Utd, which automatically makes him a c**t. I could never respect anyone who supports Sheffield Utd.

Multi-Oscar winner Nick Park isn’t just a world-class filmmaker, he’s also a very lateral man when it comes to casting his films. For his new animated feature Early Man, that lands in cinemas here on January 25th, he’s given the two lead male vocal roles to Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hiddleston. But the way that he settled on both of those actors is very, very Nick Park-y.
For Redmayne, it wasn’t his Oscar-winning turn in The Theory Of Everything, his family movie credentials from Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them or his villain and a half in Jupiter Ascending. Rather, it was the 2008 horror Black Death, the film in which Redmayne was beaten up by Sean Bean. Off the back of that, Park reckoned – and was right – that Redmayne would be perfect to voice a 15-year old caveman.
I chatted to Redmayne about this last week, and he'd only just found out himself that Black Death was so pivotal. "My memory of that film was being in swamps in Germany being beaten up by Sean Bean", he laughed, adding "the fact that he's even seen Black Death means a great deal!"

Sean Bean's local store - where the star's proud parents were reportedly known to pop in to buy his latest films - also became a haven for technophobes, with loyal movie buffs travelling from across the city.
Philip, who ran the store with his wife Susan, daughter Sarah and friend Stuart Abbott, said Titanic was the most popular film he ever stocked, just ahead of When Saturday Comes.

Absolutely! Playing in a Sheffield derby is just something else, something that will never leave me; I’ll always remember Sean Bean getting on the Sheffield United coach with us as we went to play at Hillsborough. That was a strange experience. However, that said, he was nowhere to be seen on the way back after we got beat! I don’t think he wanted to see us anymore!

This week, let's talk about experiences you have had that are strange - but true!
Most of us, who have lived for a while, have some kind of story to tell that is difficult to believe - but it happened!
In my case, I was working in a kitchen in London, when suddenly the famous English actor Sean Bean walked in to use the phone. We chatted for 10 minutes. What amazing, unusual, supernatural (even) experiences have you had defy the odds?!

"I remember very well the day I signed apprentice forms. Back then you would sign them at the side of the pitch and mine was on the night we played Man United in the cup, which was also the night they were filming When Saturday Comes.
"You would go and meet the manager in the manager's office before the game and as we were going in Sean Bean came out and my mum said 'Colin, Colin, that's Sean Bean' and Sean Bean went 'that's Colin Morris!'
"That was a good night to be signing and everything was just brilliant."

But Zwick said that as Roberts was set on having Daniel Day-Lewis — who was unavailable — play opposite her as the titular bard, she ended up "sabotaging" her chemistry reads with the bevy of up-and-coming actors Zwick considered for the role, including Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, and Sean Bean.

Sean Bean as Odysseus - Troy
In the original theatrical version of Troy, Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, played by Sean Bean, doesn’t have all that big of a role. He’s a scene-stealer though. In the director’s cut, which makes for a much better movie, the role is expanded. Plus, it's a rare movie that Sean Bean doesn’t die in.
