Posts: 685 (10/23/07 7:30 PM) *~~Princess Sparkle~~* Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None I can't believe there is not a thread about "The Tudors". I know it aired on Showtime last April but we just started getting it in Canada (though cbc is crap and plays an edited version - I found the showtime episodes on youtube - mwahahahaha) Anyway, god I LOVE this show. I'm a huge freak for anything Medieval (literature, films about, clothing, history). The guy who plays Henry VIII is seriously hot. Basically the show is about the extreme soap opera that is the history of the royal family. Educational AND sexy? Oh, yes. Tons of gratuitous sex and scandal. Hot people getting it on left, right, and center in period costume - who could ask for anything more? a little preview -> OoOoOOooh, lookie lookie Is it just me or is anyone else obsessed with this show? Just call me 'Medieval Wench' heh. the.space \| the.face \| blog,blog,blog

Jonathan Rhys Myers is beautiful in everything that he does. If you loved this, you will love the Philipa Gregory novels about Henry the VIIIs many wives. I highly recommend. There is a movie coming out called, "The Other Boleyn Girl" based on the true story of Mary and Anne Boleyn. (Mary allegedly had two children by the King who were not recognized because they weren't married at the time.) Eric "hottness" Bana is Henry, Scarlett Johansson is Mary and Natalie Portman is Anne. www.imdb.com/title/tt0467200/

Posts: 685 (10/23/07 8:27 PM) *~~Princess Sparkle~~* Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	No, I haven't read it. Shall I add it to the list? Ahh, English major solidarity! I'm doing a specialized honours in English and a Bachelor of Education so I can teach English. My poor students will be fed a plethora of Shakespeare and also all things Medieval. heh. And you are so very right about Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Oh my. There is one scene (in the first episode, I think) that stands out in my mind when he has one of the ladies-in-waiting sent to his chamber and he comes up behind her in full seduction mode and whispers, "do you consent?" and she replies, "yes, your majesty". So hot. Henry VIII is a dirty man and I love it. The Tudors is really just sexy roleplay porn. I think in a past life I was a slutty lady-in-waiting. the.space \| the.face \| blog,blog,blog

Posts: 685 (10/23/07 8:52 PM) *~~Princess Sparkle~~* Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	We have a big Shakespeare festival here in Ontario (Stratford Festival). I took my husband 2 years ago to see "Much Ado About Nothing". He's not a Shakespeare fan but he knows of my love affair with the Bard and knew he basically had no choice. This year we saw "King Lear" which he liked significantly more. I'm all about the tragedies and in the 2008 season they are doing "Hamlet," my all-time favorite. Oh, dear... I believe I just hijacked my own thread. Naughty, naughty. Oh, wait, Henry likes naughtiness. And I have come full circle right back to The Tudors. Success. the.space \| the.face \| blog,blog,blog

I am eagerly awaiting the second season on Showtime, which I think we have to wait til January to see. LOVED. LOVED. It was rather like porn, wasn't it?

Jonathan Rhys Myers is ridiculously beautiful. Seriously. Oh, and Jim Sturgess is in The Other Boleyn Girl. He plays their brother, George. I love period pieces. Boy, do I love 'em!

Posts: 685 (10/28/07 4:49 PM) *~~Princess Sparkle~~* Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Anyone in Canada who is watching The Tudors on CBC is getting seriously gypped. I mean, it's on at 9 pm for God's sake yet they have cut out all the good stuff. I didn't know until I watched one episode on tv and compared it with the one I saw on youtube (taped from Showtime) - big difference. It doesn't change the story but it does deprive us of gratuitous sex scenes and language. There is a wonderful person on youtube who has been uploading the showtime versions. They are here: www.youtube.com/profile?user=alexanr04 I hope no one blows the whistle on her for the content and the fact that it is copyright infringement because, damnit, the showtime version is way sexier. the.space \| the.face \| blog,blog,blog

Posts: 977 (03/31/08 4:14 PM) Gossip Queen phat not fat Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	We Canadians get ripped off and do not get to see season 2 (on TV) until CBC decides to air it. My dear Kristin sent me a YouTube link to watch the first episode but I fear that by the time I get to watch it, it will be yanked. This is by far my favourite TV series!!!

Don't turn off your computer so you can go back and press play when you have time. I watched the whole first season like this.
