Este mes viene baboso, baboso, así que deberán aguantarme porque estoy muy sensible a la belleza masculina :), espantemos a los lectores del otro género y disfrutemos escandalosamente de estos especímenes, Hace poco les mostré a mis rubios favoritos aquí y ahora, coincidiendo con el próximo estreno de "The Hobbit", que los reúne a ambos, les traigo a los morenos Richard"wonderful thing"Armitage y a Aidan"delicious thing"Turner. Ellos ya aparecieron en este blog aqui y aqui en sus roles de caballeros decimonónicos. Como esta canción me tiene obsesionada(la de The Fugees si lo prefieren, yo me quedo con ésta) creo que es muy apropiada para telón de fondo de semejante despliegue de sensualidad, maténme suavemente chicos.... Esas melenas oscuras y desordenadas realzan el atractivo de nuestros galanes, no sé si quedarme con la magnificencia y seriedad de Richard o el encanto pícaro y la sonrisa fácil de Aidan. Ambos poseen un cierto halo de peligrosidad, un perfil de chicos malos, uno es británico de pura cepa , el otro es nacido en Irlanda. Son talentosos, sexys a morir, con acentos que te derriten... Richard fue un villano al que cualquiera preferiría al héroe Guy of Gisborne en "Robin Hood"(2006-2009 BBC) y Aidan fue el pintor de la hermandad prerrafaelita Dante Gabriel Rosetti en Desperate Romantics(2009 BBC). Aidan y Richard son el combo perfecto, no lo creen amigas? Esas cabelleras hacen despertar mis más bajos instintos, y si por mí fuera les pondría quince imágenes más o cien. Habrá más luego, eso seguro. Hollywood debe estar muy distraído para poner a monigotes sin gracia al frente de sus superproducciones y no darle a estos bombones el lugar que se merecen. Espero que Noelia(le encanta Desperate Romantics y Being Human) y Anne (adora a Richard) hayan disfrutado de este post tanto como yo, así como Elizabeth(le gustan los morenos), que no la convencí con mis rubios, jaja. Killing me soflty with his song... me fascina esta canción. Bienvenido Noviembre!

Chinatown-A Rare Original Vintage Australian Movie Poster of Roman Polanski's 1970s LA Noir masterpiece with Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. A private detective hired to expose an adulterer finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, corruption, and murder. From renowned director Roman Polanski comes the smoldering last word in 1970s LA noir. Written by Robert Towne and starring a feral Jack Nicolson and a Mysterious Faye Dunaway, this masterpiece will always have an audience. Forget about it Jake, it's Chinatown...with John Huston giving a master class in acting. His corrupt and sinister character Noah Cross believes he's respectable: “’Course I’m respectable. I’m old. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.” There is a word, impossible to spell, that describes the alignment of solar bodies like the planets when they all fall into place, that word describes this film. Everything about it clicks. The thick atmosphere and the performers, down to the background players in non-speaking roles, are superb. The editing, the score, the sound, the decor, and the dialog, verge on flawless. The photography is sharp and lush...building contrasts with the white garden apartments, the terra cotta roof tiles, palm trees, and desert sand. The world is painted in faint gold, ripe with false promise, like the oranges that bounce off Gittes' desperately speeding car in the northwest valley. ACTORS: Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston, James Hong, and Perry Lopez DIRECTOR: Roman Polanski WRITER: Robert Towne CINEMATOGRAPHY: John A. Alonzo SCORE: Jerry Goldsmith THIS IS A VINTAGE, ORIGINAL POSTER PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED BY THE MOVIE STUDIO. THIS IS NOT A "REPRINT" OR A "REPRODUCTION".
