Not had chance to watch it yet. Want to watch in peace but DH is here Grin. Have seen lots of stills though. Phwoar!

Have a Torch for now

LetUsPrey · 28/07/2012 00:52

Goodness me, that video was rather good wasn't it?

Let the Games commence indeed Benedict Grin

Am I the only one who thought he should do that in my bedroom as he spread his arms and said "Let the games begin"?

The only thing that would have made it better is if he had said "The Games are on!" instead of "Let the Games commence!"

Loved the whole opening ceremony, Danny Boyle is truly a genius and hurrah for her Maj for entering into the spirit of it all Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 28/07/2012 09:16

Sorry about the vocab goof (begin vs. commence) -- I saw the clip last night at 1 am on YouTube and I was woken early this morning my kids running a Demolition Derby in my living room.

And I must say, the author of this article is a tool for not mentioning BC. Grrrrrr.

FrankelSaysRelax · 28/07/2012 09:26

To be fair though, BC was not part of the Opening Ceremonu itself, he was part of the BBC coverage. The film wasn't shown anywhere else, it was just for us Brits. Hence why all the American fan girls are currently squealing on YouTube!

Tee hee

FrankelSaysRelax · 29/07/2012 13:21

Seems its just me left!

I've just done something that makes me Blush a little: I was wondering through a department store this morning searching for inspiration for a birthday present for DH (in 2 weeks time). I was in the fragrance section and thought I'd look at some new aftershave/fragrance for him. As I was looking through everything I spotted a tester bottle for Attimo Pour Homme and thought to myself "That's the scent BC allegedly wears. I wonder what it smells like."
Well, I tell you ladies it is farking gorgeous Grin so I bought a bottle for DH Blush Is that weird and stalkery?! I'm not trying to pull a "Rebecca" and turn DH into BC honest!

FrankelSaysRelax · 29/07/2012 13:21

Arrgghh, wandering not "wondering"

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 29/07/2012 13:31

Frankel, no, it's not just you. Last Friday I spent about two hours wandering from perfume shop to perfume shop downtown in search of that. Finally found it. I found the bergamot overtones too...much. I really like the sandalwood that remains, can totally imagine what that must smell like on skin...His skin...Oh god. But yes, I can understand your feeling of "I am way too grown-up to be behaving like this."

My friend just left with her family on their "If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium" tour of Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and France. (They are travelling until Aug. 20). Now I have converted her husband to being a Sherlock fan as well as his wife (although for totally different reasons -- we watched ASiB last night). World domination, indeed!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!

FrankelSaysRelax · 29/07/2012 13:34

Glad it's not just me! I agree it was a bit overpowering to start with, but after a minute or two it matures nicely. I can still smell it on the back of my hand now Grin

Yes, I am 31 not 13!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 29/07/2012 13:40

What do I say? I'm turning 40 in December.... cringe

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 29/07/2012 20:27

Because we all need a little inspiration this evening:

Damn wonky linkage. Meant to include this too.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 29/07/2012 22:35

HA! Just found this on Facebook:

Sapiosexual (n.): One who finds intelligence the most sexually attractive feature.

Love it!

FrankelSaysRelax · 29/07/2012 22:38

Too true!

This is good

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 30/07/2012 14:20

Oh my, those trousers are rather tight in the first shot...

And may I just say that I think it's so cool that one editor has a poster of "Xanadu" on his office wall. I loved that movie as a kid. And watched it again at the height of the Teletubby craze. One of the muses has a Teletubby hairdo...

FrankelSaysRelax · 30/07/2012 15:36

I love the photo of BC with the Scarlett Johansen model, seeing as he's "shagged" her, on film anyway Envy Grin

FrankelSaysRelax · 30/07/2012 19:26

Wow! Peter Jackson has announced that they are splitting the second Hobbit film in 2, there will be 3 Hobbit films Grin

Statement here

FrankelSaysRelax · 30/07/2012 19:51

Argghh! Horrid thought - could the extra filming impact on new Sherlock??!!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 30/07/2012 21:00

Maybe we can hope that either they'll finish before January (don't they film then??) or that they have already filmed boatloads and just couldn't bear to cut stuff out. Either way, more BC (and MF) is a good thing, no?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 30/07/2012 23:10

Oh God, are there not enough Lord of the Dullsville films already???

Even without BC and the possible Sherlock problems it might cause, it's wearying news.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 30/07/2012 23:50

Actually, maybe Benedict has done all his filming already?

Surely for those who do have to come back, it's going to cause scheduling nightmares? Not to mention contractual ones. Or did Peter J insist that they all had written into their contracts that they were to make themselves available for an infinite amount of his self-indulgent windbaggery?
