Richard Armitage Fan A to Z Challenge: A
Guylty has issued another fun fan challenge, in the form of a Fan A to Z. I finally have a few moments to tackle the first letter only, so, here goes... A. If you added up all the money spent on DVDs, cinema tickets, accommodation, theatre tickets, fan art, audio books etc., how expensive has … Continue reading Richard Armitage Fan A to Z Challenge: A
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Almost everyone knows the story of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. I myself, though, had never read it, and listening to Richard Armitage perform it as an audiobook was a good first experience. Reading or listening to a book when you know the answer to the mystery, though, … Continue reading The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Technology (Still) Hates Me!
A little over year ago, I was having a run of what Fatima called "tech suck". Happily, the hatred shown to me by my devices seemed to have died down soon after. Lulled into a false sense of security by the lack of overt attacks, I was taken by surprise when it all started happening again! … Continue reading Technology (Still) Hates Me!
Wolverine #10 & Series: Disappointing
The Episode: In anticipating today's final episode, I was excited. Episode 9 was filled with new bits of information and major confrontations, and a goodly amount of Richard Armitage as Logan, doing some exciting fighting and growling. I put aside my distaste for a Logan that could so blithely do things that are so morally … Continue reading Wolverine #10 & Series: Disappointing
Wolverine #9: “Richard…Growl Differently!”
Without giving much away, this episode is very exciting and fast-paced, if somewhat gruesome. Much of what has been unknown is revealed. Logan/Wolverine (Richard Armitage) is much more present, appearing three times in the episode. I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of horrible people in the town of Burns, Alaska. Logan, … Continue reading Wolverine #9: “Richard…Growl Differently!”
Wolverine #8: Richard “was struggling.”
Well, apparently not in this episode, since Wolverine is only in it for about a minute. But so it was said in this week's instalment of The Marvel After Show. More about that later. Despite the lack of Armitage, this episode of Wolverine: The Long Night is a bit more interesting. There's a bit of a twist … Continue reading Wolverine #8: Richard “was struggling.”
Spring and an Irish Armitage Care Package
Spring has arrived in the British Columbia Lower Mainland. The cherry blossoms are in bloom for their brief appearance before coating the ground in petals. Of course Spring in Vancouver comes with clouds and rain. Well, as do most seasons, truth be told. Not that I'm complaining... our grass stays green and the gardens are … Continue reading Spring and an Irish Armitage Care Package
Wolverine #7: “Twilight” Alum Caught up in Richard’s Monologue
Yes, this episode has an Armitage monologue, but there are still only 2 ½ minutes of him in #7... well, other than some claws and snarling in the background of one other scene. Thinking back, I'd be surprised if we had even 15 minutes total of Armitage scenes in the whole seven episodes to date. … Continue reading Wolverine #7: “Twilight” Alum Caught up in Richard’s Monologue
Wolverine #6: “Armitage is… a voice box with legs!”
It's been an exhausting week, but I wanted to post some thoughts about episode 6 of Wolverine: The Long Night before I listen to the next one on Monday. On The Marvel After Show, Ato Essandoh (Agent Marshall) describes "Armitage [as] just like one big vocal resonator... All he is is like a voice box … Continue reading Wolverine #6: “Armitage is… a voice box with legs!”
