My god, that flash intro has abt 8 too many different typefaces.

There were no photos of him with anything other than a Rhys Meyers physique. But there were tons of hilarious photos of the Pope being REALLY SUPER PISSED.

Henry 8 was apparently a considerable athelete in his younger days and only got fat in middle age. Stephen Fry told me this (through the TV).

Did part of his athleticism come from the energizing force of POPE SCOWLS? Because "The Tudors on Showtime" site is giving me that idea.

"this page is intended for access from the US only?!?!?!?"

Even though the programme is about an ENGLISH KING?!?!??!

What the fuck?

"However, you can join the L Word in Second Life!"

Go and fuck yourself, Showtime.

I can't access the page either. When does it start? Is it a mini-series? a proper 10 episode one-off?

two months pass...

haven't seen The Tudors, but JRM gives great poster. Has anyone ever ridden a pout so far? (and I loooove the pout)

Dr Morbius, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:51 (eighteen years ago)

so far = appearing in low-rated cable series? i think bardot has him beat in the pout-profiting

s1ocki, Monday, 21 May 2007 19:52 (eighteen years ago)

the show is terrible.

lauren, Monday, 21 May 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

I made it through about 1 1/2 episodes before giving up.

one month passes...

did anyone else make it through all 10 eps?

gr8080, Monday, 2 July 2007 23:13 (eighteen years ago)

Yep. I liked it. Especially when Showtime ran a couple of episodes back to back with the Elvis miniseries and promoted it as JRM AS TWO KINGS.

I dug Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn. And Sam Neill was great.

yes and yes.

just to be sure the torrent i was watching wasn't fucked:

did the last episode end with him getting pissed over having to withraw during the forest-sex? was there anything after?

gr8080, Monday, 2 July 2007 23:41 (eighteen years ago)

I couldn't make it past the first two - too many moments a la, "I, THOMAS MORE, AM WRITING A BOOK CALLED UTOPIA; LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT IT." Tho OTM re: Anne & Neill (& I will give props to Czerny, too).

Wait hold on, Jonathan Rhys Meyers played ELVIS once? A Bowie knock-off I fully understand...

Trivia for
Elvis (2005) (TV)

More than 300 Elvis fans auditioned for the role of Elvis Presley, they were all turned away and Rhys Myers hired, even though he wasn't one of the 300 lining up for audition

gr8080, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 00:54 (eighteen years ago)

He wasn't bad as Elvis! The actual movie, tho...

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was banned from flying United Airlines not only because he was drunk and disorderly, but because he used a racial slur, Radaronline.com reports:

When airline workers noticed the actor drinking and getting out of control they prevented him from boarding the flight to Los Angeles, a source at the airport told us.

As the incident unfolded, Meyers, growing furious, flung the 'N' word, the source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. He had been drinking vodka and it was before 7 am. It is unclear if the actor was directing the word toward an individual or just spewing it without a specific target.

The Tudors star used the racial slur as he was being informed by the airline that they were not going to allow him to board the plane.

An airline employee confirmed the incident to RadarOnline.com.

I finally got around to checking out The Tudors. A lot like The Borgias. Too much sexsexsex influencing the politics. Come on, as if. But I'll watch it anyway. Even though it's not that great.

the court of Henry VIII, re-imagined as proto-Abercrombie & Fitch douchebags.
