Ahhhhhhhh it was Henry's birthday?!! Didn't know... :facepalm:

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aIgF8uPVLY]YouTube- Henry Cavill ( so close to be perfect )[/ame]

 

He's the same age as me now *w*

OH MY HEAVENS!! :bomb::dead::sweatdrop:

 

I missed the birthday and I've been missing this thread :bigcry:

I've been so busy I have all the episodes DVR'd but havent' watched any of them :shame:

Hopefully things will let up a bit and I can watch them all and be able to contribute like I used to :(

You better get back on it Jenny poo! :whip:

Ok, just finished episode 5... SO SAD! (and gross...) It's really the worst chop-chop episode....4 killing + torture... :sick: Kitty was really moving...Her confinement, her arrest and her execution...good acting job! Athough, I was kinda disapointed they made her say the thing about 'dying as the wife of Culpeper'...words she never spoke in real but was invented later after her death.

Henry is just being Henry in this epi...not liking sthg? ok, just kill it... :facepalm:

As for our dear Duke, you can see he's not approving the king, but just do his duty almost like a robot. He's really careful with the king but you sense he's acting 'machinally' now to not upset him.

 

Anyway, very good episode!

 

2 sneak peak as the same place as usual on the showtime website. Pity they don't show us the last Catherine XD!

 

And quick little funny thing: I saw Thomas Frain (Cromwell) on the last episode of FlashForward!! Just a 4 min scene but I was like :awesome:

Some video behind the scene of Immortal:

and a pic

 

 

Is that Hnery baby in the back.... :sneaky:

Indeed I think that is our Henry. :wink3:

 

So he's a god in this movie??? PERFECT! It's a role he was born to play. :sneaky:

Indeed I think that is our Henry. :wink3:

Confirmation it is and look what they say about this:

 

When Tarsem was asked about the scene he was about to shoot on set, he shared, “Poor girl. It’s the first time we have Freida Pinto and guest what, it’s a sex scene. It’s a delicate situation. We’re trying to get all of the lights out, so we can create an intimate situation. Only 80 people watching you and 20 of them with video [cameras]!”

 

First day: sex scene with Henry... and they say 'poor girl'???!!! seriously, I'm volonteering for the job :rolleyes:

 

So he's a god in this movie??? PERFECT! It's a role he was born to play. :sneaky:

No Thésée was not a god but a hero (in the mythological sense of it...so human). Even if he could be Poséidon's son (which is not sure and would make him half-god). Anyway, Thésée is famous for killing the Minotaure which lived in a maze and he got the help of Arianne (and er legendary string) to get out of it. At his return, he should have changed the flag on his boat to show his father, king Egée, he was alive after the Minotaure thing but he forgot so his father killed himself by jumping on the sea (which he gaves his name: Egée). After that, Thésée 'forgot' his supposely beloved Arianne on a island and he end up marrying the queen of the Amazones, with which he had a son Hippolyte. When his wife died, he married Phèdre (Arianne's sister). And here begins another great grecque tragedy when Phèdre fell in love with Hippolyte (young man at that time) and make advance to him. He don't return it so she accuses him of rape...hence Thésée cause his son's death before he learn that Phèdre was lying... Phèdre then commit suicide...

 

But I don't think they will quite follow the story here since they seems more focus on the gods (WTF?) and Freida Pinto is a priestess so again WTF?? I don't think Arianne and stuff are on the movie... :inquisitive: Like always, it's america revisiting grecque legends, so it's a bit of :shrug:

 

--edit-----

 

Ok, here the script of the movie:

 

The highly anticipated Immortals follows the mythological tale of the young warrior Theseus, who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat evil and the powerful elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind. Tarsem Singh directs the film that began shooting in Montreal this week.

 

Universal Pictures has set a November 11, 2011, release date for Immortals.

 

Ok, so this really WTF!! Thésée NEVER battle the Titans...(btw, this is going to be 'clash of the titans n°2' XD). And I saw that Frida will play Phèdre.... so again BIG :facepalm:

 

WHY Hollywood can just follow the original legend??...This will probably be a shitty movie but at least, Henry will make up for it!! :blush:

Yah! I promise, she won't want anyone to feel sorry for her. :stunned:

She must be celebrating her luck. :sneaky:

 

How did you even know it was supposed to be about....Thesee or how ever his name is written?

I didn't see info about that anywhere? Did you look it up?

Also, do you know every bit of history?! :P How did you just happen to know this story? I've never even heard of these characters.

This a grecque legend ^^ I had to read them for my latin class in junior high :)

http://www.laprocure.com/cache/couvertures/9782266095082.jpg

 

In France, latin is 'obligatory' (?) during the last 2 years of junior high because french comes from latin, so there is a lot of word, rule grammar and expression that comes from it. And the grecque legends are also studied in french class cause there are a lot of theatre piece which use grecque mythologic figures as characters.

And I loved it, it's a fun read! God/hero story are metaphor for our own 'human' problem and they are theme to a lot of European architecture, statues, paintings...so it's part of our heritage.

 

Plus there are a lot of french expression that comes from thoses legend... Example: the word 'narcissistic' cames from the grecque tales of Narcisse, a young beautiful man that loves himself so much, he used to watch his image on the surface of a lake. One day, he finds his reflect so beautiful, he got to close to it and drown. This story gave the word 'narcissistic' (from Narcisse' name) to speak of someone self-centered.

Same for the word the term 'scientific' of 'spider'. In french, you say 'arachnée', wich is the name of grecque woman who use to sew tapestry. But her work was more beautiful than the one of a goddess (don't remember the one in question..) that she became jalous and transformed her into a spider. Hence the french word now for it.

And there are lot of thing like that, so we are 'bond' to learn them, it's part of our cultural background :)

 

As for Thésée story, it's well known for the Arianne/Minotaure thing (french expression with Arianne's thread) and Phèdre story is also a theater piece that I red for school in high school ^^

Here is Thésée's legend in english: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theseus

 

With the Minautore (monster Thésée killed because children and women where offer in sacrifice to it)

 

Actually the Minautore lived in a maze built by a guy called 'Dedale'. And in french, to say 'maze', you can use the word 'dedale' (but it's 'old'), we usually say 'labyrinthe')....

 

Anyway, that's it! :lol: I'm babling... :facepalm:

That's pretty cool. Myths and legends are interesting. I always like listening to people tell them as stories.

Looks who's going to rehab...again...

Hope he'll get better this time!!

Oh...:facepalm:

Just saw episode 7 where our Brandon's got a lot of action!! It's finally war against France (tsss...why the hatred, seriously?! France was NOT England's property!) Anyway, it's war and Catherine Parr (now queen) is good as a regent. On the battlefield, Charles meet the french Brigitte...who is UGLY!! Seriously, WHY?!! :facepalm: You can already see he's intrigued by her (proud and she fought on the field dressed as a man)...I predict he sleeps with her on the next one XD

 

Two previews for epi 8 are on Showtime's site as always ^^

Thanks for the overview! I'll try to watch it tonight.
