I agree with much of her primary list. I'm not familiar with some the people she mentioned. Regarding her lack of James McAvoy, I must agree I have mixed feelings. I just watched Penelope last night and have to say that looks wise James McAvoy does very little for me, but acting wise he is great and he has something about him that is appealling.

Well, I must say that I like James Mc Avoy but to me, he´s no match for my favourite Scotsman: Ewan McGregor :love:

Silvia, Ewan is a great actor. Did any of you see his motorcycle documentary "Long Way Round" with Charly Boorman. They traveled the world on motorcycles. I didn't see the whole thing, but watched quite a bit on TV and enjoyed it.

I didn´t saw that one, but I did saw a trip he took with several cientiests to the Ecuador rain forest. It was really interesting and fun to watch!!

They did make a DVD of it. Maybe they'll have it in your format.

Really????!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry got to go to buy something..... :wink:

My Brother's Revies
Well, I finally found the EW review of my brother's la-*test*-('") project - a book he did the artwork for called SOME NEW KIND OF SLAUGHTER. It's about flood myths and ecology challenges. They gave it an A-. Now for the link. It is the third review on the page. www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20180587,00.html

That's a very good review, GG. Congratulate your brother on my behalf. I hope I can get my hands on this project because I think I will like it.

GG, I'm so happy for your brother! That's terrific! What's NEXT for him?

He's got a Western graphic novel coming out called The Grave Doug Freshly. Here's a little preview I just found. It is coming out on the internet this month. He is the artist, not the writer. Well I tried, but couldn't get it. Put in the title and MPMann and you should be able to see it. Totally different style.

Wow! that is one talented family!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!! :applaud: :mrgreen:

Thanks, Silvia. Though I think you, Cris and Alan rank pretty high when it comes to talent.

New (?) Hugh Interview "I played the piano, walked our dog, read and just sat around at home. No wonder my wife's glad I'm back at work." http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0922686620080409?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0 This reminds me of a very famous couple of Italian comedians, Sandra Mondaini and Raimondo Vianello. They are a married couple and when asked "what's the secret of your marriage?", they answered something like: One holidays in Burma, the other in Alaska One lives in Melbourne, the other in Moscow

Hmmm, there are pros and cons to long-distance relationships (believe me - I'm an expert! :wink: ) But it has to be said that living in each other's pockets 24 hours a day would drive even the most ardent of lovers crazy! There are some truths in Old Wives Tales........ "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." but then "Familiarity breeds contempt." Every relationship ought to be a little of both in my book!

BTW, perhaps they vacation separately, but the couple of Italian actors Annee mentioned, Sandra Mondaini and Raimondo Vianello, not only live together, but they have also worked together a lot in the past five decades, so that their respective careers are strictly tied. So theirs is just a joke by a couple who has been married for almost 50 years (I think they got married in 1961).
