Заголовок: BRITAIN’S top tour.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR> <BR> <BR> BRITAIN’S top tourist attractions are enjoying the busiest August bank holiday weekend in history thanks to the recession. <BR> <BR> So-called “staycationing”, or holidaying at home, has sparked a huge surge in visitors to -historical properties across -Britain and it’s no longer a case of “rip-off Britain” for tourists lured by the strength of the euro against the pound. <BR> <BR> Costume dramas like The Young Victoria are -helping fuel the growth, with the number of visitors to such sites as Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s Isle of Wight retreat, up more than 30 per cent on last year. <BR> <BR> Henry VIII is also proving a huge draw with events to mark the 500th anniversary of his accession to the throne this -summer triggering an enthusiasm for all things Tudor. <BR> <BR> The king’s favourite royal residence, Hampton Court Palace in south-west London, has seen a 31 per cent rise in visitor -numbers, helped by such TV shows as The Tudors, starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as Henry VIII, and David Starkey’s Mind Of A Tyrant series. <BR> <BR> Films such as The Other Boleyn Girl, starring Scarlett Johansson, have further inflamed our passion for the story of -Henry’s six wives while The Young Victoria, a film dramatisation of the Queen’s early years and romance with Prince Albert, has once again reignited interest in Victoriana. <BR> <BR> Catherine Steventon, of -Historic Royal Palaces, the charity that cares for five historical attractions in London including Hampton Court Palace, said: “We are having a fantastic summer. We are really chuffed to pieces. This summer visitor figures are up by a fantastic 21 per cent.” <BR> <BR> At Windsor Castle, where there is also a Henry VIII exhibition, visitors are up 10 per cent. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/123792/Our-love-affair-with-the-Royals-beats-recession"><u>http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/123792/Our-love-affair-with-the-Royals-beats-recession</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="001"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 2947<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0021" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("002","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0022" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("002","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#002" name="002"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 31.08.09 22:51. Заголовок: Almost everyone in T.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Almost everyone in The Tudors is young, thin and beautiful. Not only is this a little unlikely, it can also make it hard to tell them apart. Fortunately, everybody says everybody else's name all the time. "Master Holbein," says the king, to Holbein. "Sir Robert, you look out of sorts," he says to Sir Robert Tavistock, whose name has already been announced by the bloke manning the door. <BR> <BR> "You don't even know who I am, do you?" says a woman who is having sex with Sir Francis Bryan. "Of course I do," he says. "You're Edward Seymour's wife." It might have been simpler, if less dramatically feasible, to chalk everyone's initials on their foreheads. <BR> <BR> It's Christmastide 1536, and Robert Aske ("Happy Christmas, Mr Aske," says the queen) is down from Yorkshire to explain his role in the late northern rebellion. The king appears to be in a forgiving mood, but you don't have to know much history to suspect he's lying. Jonathan Rhys Meyers's Henry VIII is an unblinking psychopath; he doesn't spend a lot of time playing tennis or writing Greensleeves. He glares, rants, broods and says unnecessarily hurtful things: "Your low birth, Mr Cromwell, deems you unfit to meddle in the affairs of kings." <BR> <BR> This double episode covered Queen Jane's pregnancy and the search for a suitor for Lady Mary, but the main theme was hanging. There was a tremendous amount of it. The Duke of Suffolk showed a certain reluctance to carry out the king's instructions to hang all of Yorkshire. Robert Aske's slow-motion hanging, seen from below, was a particularly gruesome interlude. We also got a few heads on pikes, one red-hot poker up the arse and a glimpse under Sir Francis's eye patch. <BR> <BR> It's almost impossible to watch television these days without accidentally learning something about Henry VIII, but The Tudors is a revved-up history lesson: light on dates and heavy on sex, glamour and lovely table settings. <BR> <BR> You wouldn't want to be a Tudor, though. Death would stalk you, with a red-hot poker. You'd be lucky to last two episodes.

Заголовок: By heck! Henry VIII .. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>By heck! Henry VIII was never like this when I was at school. Obese, bloated and ulcerated grotesquely by syphilis – that’s what our history teacher said. I do hope she’s watching The Tudors (BBC2). <BR> <BR> Not that it would necessarily change her mind. But the alternative handsome, camp, beautifully groomed bit of a lad who is that most notorious ladies man of English monarchs might just lighten her up a bit. And to be honest, she could always have benefited from a bit of lightening up. <BR> <BR> I’d take the gorgeous Jonathan Rhys Meyers’s Henry ahead of Holbein’s any old day... and risk beheading to boot. <BR> <BR> So this slick, sexy, costume drama may owe more to extravagant theatre than history – but who cares? It’s as smooth as a glass of iced Baileys and twice as potent. A right royal romp in which even the ugly characters are beautiful. <BR> <BR> In this less than historically honest take on henry’s life, the king is portrayed as a man more sinned against than sinning. Misunderstood by wives who failed to give him a son – and then had the nerve not to forgive his anger – the only queen who bore him a boy went and died in the process. <BR> <BR> See? Such an inconsiderate lot those unreliable Tudor females. No wonder he had to take so many mistresses. <BR> <BR> In addition to trying times at home in the castle bedchamber, the poor persecuted soul had to deal with ungrateful northern rebellion against his dissolution of the monasteries and his borrowing of church and abbey treasures to see the royal household through credit crunch. <BR> <BR> Bother in Carlisle, trouble in Pontefract, open disobedience in York – what was a king to do but delegate a massacre or three? Didn’t they know he was about to become a daddy? <BR> <BR> The truth is – well, actually I suspect there’s not too much historical truth here at all – but the other truth is that had this maligned monarch taken the trouble to watch his weight, work out in the gym, trim his beard, exfoliate and generally look a lot more like Jonathan than Henry, he’d have had a much more favourably sympathetic place in history. <BR> <BR> <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/opinion/anne_pickles/worth_risking_a_beheading_1_608248?referrerPath=opinion"><u>http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/opinion/anne_pickles/worth_risking_a_beheading_1_608248?referrerPath=opinion</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="003"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 2986<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0041" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("004","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0042" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("004","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#004" name="004"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 12.09.09 18:00. Заголовок: Mistresses on the ma.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Mistresses on the make, mail order brides and murder: No wonder we can't get enough of the terrible Tudors <BR> <BR> There's an old joke among authors about how to write a bestseller. <BR> <BR> The perfect book would begin like this: 'I'm pregnant!' said the Queen. 'I wonder who can be responsible?' No book can fail with the three top ingredients - royalty, mystery and sex. <BR> <BR> Fact is stranger than fiction, of course, and there is an era in English history that provides the magic three - plus gritty power politics, seduction, betrayal, violent death and broken hearts. <BR> <BR> The real story of Henry VIII and his court beats anything a novelist or film-maker could invent. Imagine this: a glamorous young man becomes King before he's 18. He's clever, handsome, brilliant at every game he plays, cultured, generous, and he even writes songs. <BR> <BR> Nearly 40 years later, he's still on the throne - a throne that now buckles under his huge weight; he's swollen, grotesque and disgusting, prone to terrifying rages, a caricature of the golden boy who lit up his nation. <BR> <BR> On the way he's had six wives; he's divorced two of them, and two of them have been publicly beheaded. <BR> <BR> This story is part of our legend of what it means to be English. It is so lurid, so unlikely, that we never get tired of telling it, and every time it's told, it's made new. <BR> <BR> The Tudors survive anything - tough in death as in life. It seems you can replay their saga any way you like, and its essential truths - about men and women, about human nature - come shining through. <BR> <BR> You can tell the story as romance, concentrating on the women, wrenching them out of context so that they think and behave like modern women, which they weren't. <BR> <BR> You can twist up all the facts, like The Tudors TV series, casting the tiny actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the King who, at 6ft 2in, towered over most of his subjects. <BR> <BR> Still the story survives, and readers and viewers sense they have not heard the whole of it. <BR> <BR> A scholar like David Starkey interprets it for us, but we intuit murky depths, something unexplored, an area of darkness that eludes historians. It's as if this story is written not just in the pages of the history books but deep in our psyche. <BR> <BR> It's a fairytale, a horror story, and - most potently - a combination of the two. Henry is Bluebeard, luring young women into his castle. He's a serial killer, but he's also a man who - when he fell in love with his second wife, Anne Boleyn - risked his whole kingdom to have her by his side. <BR> <BR> These sexy, flamboyant, cruel people are ourselves, but on a massive scale, glowing in stained-glass colours. They are our own impulses, recognisable and familiar, and close to the bone, but dressed up in furs and brocade, sliding silently in velvet slippers through the palaces of our dreams. <BR> <BR> The Tudors are our secret nighttime selves. They enact for us, on our behalf, what we fleetingly desire. <BR> <BR> Which husband hasn't thought, even just for a shocking instant, of striking his wife dead? From Anne Boleyn to Diana, we use the royals as surrogates - their triumphs and suffering are public property, whereas our dramas are private, small, intimate. <BR> <BR> But there are special reasons why Henry's reign attracts us. Much of our history, until the Tudor era, appears unfinished, only half-real, a half-told tale. It's because women - apart from a very few outstanding individuals - make no mark on it. <BR> <BR> They are passive princesses, to be married or given in marriage. We know little about their personalities and it's hard to imagine their feelings. <BR> <BR> Then, with the reign of Henry VIII, everything changes. Women come to the fore as never before, and indeed as rarely since - no longer just love or lust objects, they become power players. <BR> <BR> After almost 20 years of marriage to Katherine of Aragon, Henry didn't have what he needed most - a son to succeed him. He was only the second Tudor monarch, and his dynasty's claim to the throne was shaky. <BR> <BR> There were ancient noble families, aggressive and fertile, keen to push the Tudors aside. If Henry died without an heir, England might plunge into civil war. <BR> <BR> And Henry could die at any time. He lived dangerously, hunting and jousting. And in those years, almost every summer saw an epidemic of a flu-like illness which killed thousands of strong young people. <BR> <BR> All the resources Henry and his ministers could command couldn't conjure up one simple thing - a male heir. For that they needed a woman. But who could tell which one? <BR> <BR> Katherine of Aragon was several years older than Henry. She had at least six pregnancies, mostly ending in miscarriages or stillbirths. She lived, as any woman in such a situation would, in a state of mourning. <BR> <BR> One little boy, 'the New Year Prince,' had survived for a few weeks; he would have been Henry IX. There was a daughter, Mary, undersized and frail. No one thought she could rule England. Katherine, Henry thought, had to be replaced. <BR> <BR> But she fought him every step of the way. We've all known a woman like Katherine - patient, long-suffering, immovably stubborn, and grimly glued to her status as wife. We still regard infertility as a tragedy, and the death of a child as the worst thing that can happen to a mother. <BR> <BR> It's impossible not to feel for Katherine, so we rehearse her story, as if by re-describing it we could make it come out differently. <BR> <BR> The politics of those years were fiendishly complex, but it's the simple thing that touches us: the dead babies in their winding sheets. <BR> <BR> Henry had already decided on a divorce, but his situation became even more fraught when he fell catastrophically in love. <BR> <BR> Royals married other royals. They married for duty. But Henry trampled on the rules. He wanted the woman of his choice, and his choice dismayed all Europe. <BR> <BR> Anne Boleyn was nothing but a gentleman's daughter. Like Katherine, she was clever, articulate, principled and highly educated. And she was a minx, a femme fatale, a siren, as clever as the slippery sea-creatures, only half human, who lured sailors to wreck their ships on the rocks. <BR> <BR> We've all known an Anne Boleyn. Maybe the one we know is a low-rent, small-town version, but there's no mistaking the purpose in her glittering eyes. Anne was no beauty, but she was alluring. Henry was like a moonstruck teenager, writing her letters which ended with their initials scrawled inside a heart. <BR> <BR> And she managed him beautifully, driving him into a frenzy of sexual desire. It didn't seem possible that she could displace Katherine and become Queen of England, but that was exactly what she did. In our 21st- century lives, a marriagewrecker in full cry is still an awesome sight. If Katherine is the patron saint of betrayed wives, Anne is the role model for every mistress on the make. <BR> <BR> We've all known great love affairs turn sour, but when Anne disappointed Henry - giving him only a girl, the future Elizabeth I - his revenge was terrible. He accused her of adultery with multiple partners, including her brother. It's a story to make a tabloid editor blush. <BR> <BR> The executioner from Calais came over especially to behead Anne with a sword, which ensured a swift, clean death. <BR> <BR> And waiting in the wings was Jane Seymour. Simpering little Jane, with her downcast eyes, who had watched and waited and never blinked as the sword flashed in the May sunlight; and coolly slipped her hand into the murderer's great paw, and his wedding ring on her finger. Jane did give Henry a son, but she died in doing it. Then Henry married, sight unseen, a German noblewoman called Anne of Cleves. <BR> <BR> Stories like hers are still played out in communities where arranged marriages are the rule. <BR> <BR> She was the 16th-century equivalent of a mail-order bride, miles from home in a country where she didn't speak the language. <BR> King Henry's third wife Jane Seymour gave him a son, but died during childbirth <BR> <BR> King Henry's third wife Jane Seymour gave him a son, but died during childbirth <BR> <BR> Imagine this: the husband takes one look, makes a face and turns his back. But the marriage must go through, or the families lose face. <BR> <BR> Henry's courtiers were astonished by the way he flinched from Anne. No one else could see anything wrong with her. <BR> <BR> Why didn't he just get down to it? He only had to have sex with her, he didn't have to be in love. But for Henry it didn't work that way. <BR> <BR> Sheepishly, after the wedding night, he told his minister Thomas Cromwell that he couldn't perform. <BR> <BR> Cromwell was a hard-bitten product of the political machine, a man from a rough background who had knocked around Europe as a mercenary soldier. <BR> <BR> You can imagine the look of astonished contempt he must have turned on his monarch as the sorry bedroom farce unfolded, detail by shaming detail. (Think Alastair Campbell glowering at some perceived failing in his master Tony Blair.) <BR> <BR> Perhaps the look in his eye was fatal, though, because before long Cromwell was executed without trial, and Henry made a fifth marriage on the day of his beheading. Maybe Anne of Cleves was the luckiest of Henry's wives. She got a quick divorce and a huge financial settlement. And Henry headed for disaster, with the sure instinct of a middle-aged male drooling idiotically over an 18-year-old. <BR> <BR> He called Katherine Howard his 'rose without a thorn'. He didn't know she'd already had two lovers, and didn't intend to settle down with a man old enough to be her father. <BR> <BR> Katherine is just the sort of girl who, if she were alive now, would forget her knickers on a big night out and be snapped by a leering photographer as she falls pandaeyed into a cab at dawn. <BR> <BR> But the consequence nowadays would be nothing more than a few sniggering column inches, with perhaps some lucrative kiss-and-tell deal to sweeten the sour taste. <BR> <BR> For a Tudor girl it wasn't like that. When Henry found out what she had been up to, he cut off her head - saving the fee of the expert swordsman this time, and making use of that very handy man with an axe, the executioner at the Tower of London. Experience was needed to survive Henry. His last wife managed it; Katherine Parr was wise, prudent, tactful, and had been married twice before. Even so, it was a near thing. She had some dangerous moments. <BR> <BR> Henry had become impossible to read. Perhaps no one ever read him correctly, even when he was young. <BR> <BR> In his strange and ferocious way, he adored women, and he was always looking, as many men still do, for some impossible ideal, some woman who existed only in his dreams. Any woman made of flesh and blood was bound to disappoint him. The problem was that his disappointment was lethal. <BR> <BR> Can we learn anything from Tudor England? The rules of love and desire seem much the same - beware of what you want, you may get it. <BR> <BR> The rules of power-broking seem familiar. Cheat, bribe, cajole, incriminate, blackmail, mislead, threaten, smear, and tell lies in Parliament; that's the way to get on. It's all very modern. <BR> <BR> But in that beautiful, fertile, green and unpolluted land, with its clear rivers, deep woods and fields of misty wild flowers, in that deeply devoted and pious land where gilded angels peered down from church roofs at the little people below, human blood flowed like water. <BR> <BR> You didn't respect your opponents, you jailed them, tortured them, killed them. The King's word was law and if the King was half-mad with lust or sick with pain, or deluded or just plain bored, no one could predict or prevent the consequences. <BR> <BR> Nowadays, an unhappy couple might wish each other dead; Henry saw his wishes through. <BR> <BR> If a minister makes a mistake, he gets to 'spend more time with his family'. In those days, his family found his head on a spike on London Bridge. The stakes were so high - and that's what makes the primal drama of Henry's England so enduring, so fascinating, so horrible that, 500 years on, you want to look away, but you can't. <BR> <BR> Read more: <a target=_blank href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1212937/Mistresses-make-mail-order-brides--murder-No-wonder-terrible-Tudors.html#ixzz0Qu9cliRN"><u>http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1212937/Mistresses-make-mail-order-brides--murder-No-wonder-terrible-Tudors.html#ixzz0Qu9cliRN</u></a> <BR> <BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="004"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 2988<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0051" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("005","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0052" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("005","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#005" name="005"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 13.09.09 14:18.

Impossibly beautiful people with exceptionally good teeth in 16th-century period costume? Check. A whole host of historical inaccuracies? Check. Yes, The Tudors is back - with 2.3 million tuning in on Friday - and I for one am delighted. <BR> <BR> After a lengthy recap of the previous two series, our much-married monarch began the new one with yet another wedding, this time to Jane Seymour, meaning the year is 1536 (and the king is supposed to be 45). Jonathan Rhys Meyers still looks far too young to be Henry VIII, and his interpretation of the role has not improved, consisting of shouting to convey every single type of emotion. However, the cast welcomes Max von Sydow – yes, Blofeld in Never Say Never Again, Major Von Steiner in Escape to Victory and Jesus in The Greatest Story Ever Told – as a cardinal, plotting with a Ronan Keating-lookalike monk with a claim to the English throne. <BR> <BR> Other newcomers for this series include Sir Francis Bryan, played by Alan Van Sprang, the man trying to force the princess to accede to her father's will. He does this all the while looking a bit like a pirate with his big, black eyepatch and speaking with an accent that's a cross between received pronunciation, and Mike Myers attempting to sound Scottish. Lady-in-waiting Ursula Misseldon is our first entirely fictitious character of the series, apparently introduced to heave her bosom and act provocatively. Despite her professed engagement to Sir Robert Tavistock, a sparkly necklace turns her head enough for her to become the mistress of the pirate, and then lay totally naked in front of a window with the jewels nestling around her throat. <BR> <BR> There's plenty of violence coming up as well, now that the Reformation is taking hold - Roman Catholic houses of worship are destroyed under Thomas Cromwell's regime and those ever-present captions pop up just to remind the simple viewer that those big religious buildings are churches and abbeys. There is a popular uprising, and leader Robert Aske reminds everyone that he and his followers are not in fact rebels, but pilgrims (although he managed to stop short of explicitly saying, "It's a Pilgrimage of Grace"). <BR> <BR> While gallons of blood are shed around the country as the pilgrims get their comeuppance, the king's one-track mind hasn't deviated – he wants a son, and he wants one now. Interestingly, the opening episode includes a mention of his physical decline, with the painful ulcer on his leg causing Rhys Meyers to showcase his newly-learnt "in agony" acting, consisting of wincing and biting on his hand; we can only hope he'll indulge in some method acting and put on at least four stone to portray the ageing, more portly, Henry. <BR> <BR> The king was soon back in his comfort zone of romping with comely ladies-in-waiting, as Lady Ursula distracted him from his suppurated leg in her own particular fashion. Despite having broken his new marriage vows after approximately 37 minutes, the king assured his queen that he loves her more than any of his other wives, though as he's killed one and left the other to rot in exile it's not really saying much. Jane Seymour's days are numbered, and anyway, in a few weeks we can look forward to Joss Stone's portrayal of wife number four, Anne of Cleves. That's one no historian should miss. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/tvandradioblog/2009/aug/25/tudors-jonathan-rhys-myers"><u>http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/tvandradioblog/2009/aug/25/tudors-jonathan-rhys-myers</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3010<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0061" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("006","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0062" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("006","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#006" name="006"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 25.09.09 21:41. Заголовок: The Tudors return an.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>The Tudors return and Henry isn't happy. <BR> <BR> <BR> By Alex Strachan, Canwest News ServiceSeptember 23, 2009 <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Henry VIII, as depicted in the last season of The Tudors, is an angry, angry man. <BR> <BR> ``Well, I think six marriages does not make a man happy,'' Jonathan Rhys Meyers says, looking poised, relaxed - comfortable, even - in duds more suited to an Irish pub-crawl than the 16th century English monarch he plays in Michael Hirst's sprawling bodice ripper and historical tale of palace intrigue. ``I don't know anybody who has been married six times who is particularly happy.'' <BR> <BR> Nor one. <BR> <BR> ``Nor even one,'' Meyers says, with a rueful laugh. ``Love is blind, marriage is an eye-opener.'' <BR> <BR> When The Tudors returns, King Henry VIII is in his 30s. Knives are being sharpened, betrayal is in the air and the winds of destiny continue to conspire against the no-longer-so-young king. <BR> <BR> ``He finds he can't trust anybody, because nobody is trustworthy.'' Meyers says. ``Everybody has their own agenda. Look at anyone who assumes power: how young and fresh they look when they enter office, and how hardened and cynical they are when they come out of office. The experience of leadership has made Henry a very, very tense person. And, at the same time, he is very dangerous. Henry is a very dangerous man.'' <BR> <BR> The Tudors's third season focuses on Henry's ill-fated marriages to Jane Seymour and to Anne of Cleves, as played in The Tudors by Annabelle Wallis and R&B soul-singer Joss Stone; the downfall of the scheming Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, played by James Frain; and Henry VIII's violent suppression of the Pilgrimage of Grace, a populist uprising in 1536 to protest the king's break with the Catholic Church in Rome. <BR> <BR> ``In the first season, Henry was a very young man - a kid,'' Meyers said. ``Young men do have redeeming qualities. They have a certain idealism. In the second season, a lot of tension happened with Anne Boleyn. He realized he was fascinated with Anne Boleyn, obsessed with Anne Boleyn - but he was not necessarily in love with Anne Boleyn. Certainly not in the same way he is in love with Jane Seymour. It was not a comfortable love. <BR> <BR> ``You will find, at the start of the new season, even though he is still very dangerous, he has found a comfortable family life with Jane Seymour - and then that's snatched away from him. It throws him into further turmoil. And then, with the rebellion in the north, the ill-advice he gets from Thomas Cromwell concerning his marriage to Anne of Cleves, his continuing struggle with his faith - it all starts to snowball.'' <BR> <BR> The relationship between love and marriage in the royal courts of 16th- century Europe was very different from the concept of marriage most people hold today, Meyers says. <BR> <BR> ``Marriage was a commercial venture, rather than the natural result of love. You married and you had children because children brought you heirs. They were a kind of security for your future legacy. Usually, marriages were arranged for commercial, political or estate value. And every so often, a love match happened - such as Henry's relationship with Jane Seymour. <BR> <BR> ``Jane Seymour wasn't the crazy, mad passion of Anne Boleyn. After Anne Boleyn, it was kind of, `Whew. Really, I think I can use a break.' And Jane Seymour was the break. She was the ray of light.'' <BR> <BR> Meyers suspects Henry struggled with his religious faith in his later years. <BR> <BR> ``I believe Henry remained Catholic, really, most of his life. Even though he did not want to be ruled by the Pope in Rome, he still held on to those very, very strong Catholic beliefs, I think, all his life. After killing so many people, after putting people to death on a whim, I think your relationship with God becomes strained. There are a lot of things going on in Henry's head. He is a leader. And it is very difficult to lead.'' <BR> <BR> Meyers is willing to suffer for his art - but only to a point. He is not, for example, about to pull a Robert De Niro in Raging Bull, and suddenly put on weight and grow a full beard when The Tudors returns for a fourth season, now filming in Ireland. <BR> <BR> The popular image of Henry VIII is the renowned, historical portrait painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, official painter to the royal court in 1536, around the time of Anne Boleyn's execution. ``The king's figure and magnificent apparel are proof of his authority,'' a British historian wrote of the famous portrait. ``But (the) portrait is not flattering: Henry appears guarded and suspicious, and quite unapproachable.'' <BR> <BR> ``I suppose I'd like a few extra pounds but, no, I'm not going to turn into the Holbein painting,'' Meyers said. ``I think it would defeat the purpose of what I've done these past three seasons. <BR> <BR> ``I could have gone down that road of dyeing my hair red and putting on the extra weight, but then that becomes something that's been done by other people. '' <BR> <BR> Meyers learned about Henry VIII, as so many other pupils do, while in school. <BR> <BR> ``I was instilled with the image of this rotund, food eating, beer guzzling, womanizing monarch who was a tyrant and a bad politician, a lapsed religious man who was completely out of touch with his spirituality by the time his reign ended. <BR> <BR> ``But I had to play him my way. So I may put on a few extra pounds, but nothing to write about in your computer, I'm afraid.'' <BR> <BR> Meyers believes the performance of Henry VIII that came closest to the historical text was that of the late Robert Shaw in Fred Zinnemann's 1966 film A Man for All Seasons. <BR> <BR> ``He captured that sense of athleticism, but you can also see that the weight is going to come on in later years. I'm not that guy. This is not that show. We wanted to do something that has Tudor England as a historical backdrop - which is a fascinating period in time - but which is also television and entertaining. We have had to mess with history a little bit. In me, when I'm in costume, you see Henry in a completely different way from the history texts. You are looking at a perspective, a certain perspective of Henry. <BR> <BR> ``I think the reason why that image of Henry standing there, with all that weight, has survived so long and the image become so burned in people's minds is that Holbein was a great artist and it is great art. There were other paintings of Henry when he was a young man, but these are not the images that are instilled in our mind.'' <BR> <BR> Meyers wanted to remain fit for The Tudors's frequent and torrid love scenes, in any event. <BR> <BR> ``Am I comfortable with them?'' he said. ``Very comfortable. <BR> <BR> ``There are worse things you can do with yourself on a rainy Tuesday morning in Dublin than hop into bed with the likes of Charlotte Salt or Natalie Dormer or, indeed, Joss Stone. To explain, I haven't jumped into her bed yet.'' <BR> <BR> The season is yet young. <BR> <BR> The Tudors returns Wednesday Sept. 30 on CBC at 9 ET/PT. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.canada.com/Tudors"><u>http://www.canada.com/Tudors</u></a>+return+Henry+happy/2025000/story.html<BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="006"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3016<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0071" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("007","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0072" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("007","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#007" name="007"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 26.09.09 22:10.

Заголовок: King Henry VIII is .. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR> King Henry VIII is busting out all over. The Tudors returns for a third season, kicking off with Bluff King Hal’s third marriage. At this rate the show has guaranteed itself a six-year run; maybe more if it justifies its title and gives us the rest of the dynasty. It’s about time Henry’s daughter Bloody Mary had her own TV show. Meanwhile, TVO brings us a four-part documentary from Britain’s Channel 4 entitled Henry VIII: Mind of a Tyrant. And it could be coincidence that these two programs are reaching our screens simultaneously, but then there could also be a tooth fairy. Both shows demonstrate the resilience of the more colourful periods of English history in the face of all that supposed creativity can do to them. <BR> <BR> "Five hundred years ago," says an unctuous voice at the start of TVO’s offering, "an 18-year old boy sat in this chair in Westminster Abbey to be crowned king of England." Well, why should that be so incredible? The speaker, who’s also taking up most of the screen, is Dr. David Starkey, a British historian who, like many experts, knows his stuff better than he can deliver it. Admittedly, once past that opening sentence, he lets up a bit on the gobsmacked italics, but what he goes on to say is pretty jaw-dropping. Henry, he tells us in monkishly shocked tones, "would grow up to become the most infamous monarch in history." More infamous than Nero? Genghis Khan? Ivan the Terrible? Even if you stick to English history there are some strong contenders in the royal infamy stakes, especially considering that Starkey himself cleaves to the traditional notion that it was Richard III who murdered the Princes in the Tower. He’s on stronger ground when, sharing the screen with one of the Holbein portraits, he describes Henry as "the only king whose shape you remember," standing with his own hand on his hip to demonstrate. <BR> <BR> The fact is that, though Henry was responsible for his own share of torture and bloodshed, it wasn’t exceptional by the standards of his time. His real claims to notoriety are his appearance, as mediated by Holbein and Charles Laughton, and his six wives: circumstances that, taken together, have inspired as much titillated affection as revulsion. Starkey’s mission, to judge from his first two instalments, is to lament Henry’s tragic fall; to rehabilitate him before re-demonizing him. He gives us a young Henry devoted to his mother (who died in childbirth when he was still a boy), dubbed for dynastic reasons a Knight of the Bath, and one who "would always think of himself as a chivalrous knight." This involved some picturesque wars against France, undertaken mainly at the behest of the Pope, who subsequently thought better of the idea. Presumably Henry’s resentment of this was a delayed factor in the Protestant Reformation. <BR> <BR> Henry’s story, says Starkey, is "the best and bloodiest royal soap opera of them all," and The Tudors is back to agree with him. "Best," though, is pushing it a bit; in fact, a lot. The show may be sticking closer to the facts than it used to, but the writing remains as crass and rib-nudging as ever. This, the previouslies remind us, is the production in which Henry once said "I so much want a new beginning — a Renaissance" and went on to promise, "I will make such a Reformation in this kingdom that it will be remembered forever." Season 3’s first episode shows us all this Reforming taking place, in the form of the cynical and extremely lucrative sacking of the monasteries, leading in turn to the northern rebellion known as the Pilgrimage of Grace. <BR> <BR> The TV series Henry VIII, a mere six years ago, dramatized these events with a force and intelligence that The Tudors shows few signs of emulating. It also had the advantage of Ray Winstone’s Cockney Henry, which imposed itself through sheer gusto. The acting in The Tudors, hemmed in by its cliche-ridden script, is pinched and suburban, showing among other things why most British classical acting is now outclassed by Canadian. (The Tudors is, bizarrely, a Canadian co-production, but there’s almost no sign of that on the screen.) Jonathan Rhys-Meyers gives us a still-young Henry who seems to be anticipating his older self as promised by Starkey: a hysterical and calculating neurotic. He isn’t remotely bloated yet; maybe that’ll come by the time he hooks up with Catherine Parr, but lacking the famous "shape," Henry seems not only a physical but a spiritual shadow of himself. He isn’t much fun. The show seems to pride itself on being idiomatically hip, but its accoutrements are relentlessly old fashioned. There’s much terpsichorean hey-nonnynonnying; churchmen at parties snigger in corners; shepherds pose with their flocks while holding their crooks at picturesque angles. Violence, nudity and sexuality are promised and delivered: the nudity anyway. This is TV drama after all, and a naked woman is a naked woman, whatever style of costume she isn’t wearing. – Henry VIII: Mind of a Tyrant airs tonight at 10 p.m. on TVO.

Заголовок: Henry VIII, as depic.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Henry VIII, as depicted in the last season of The Tudors, is an angry, angry man. <BR> <BR> "Well, I think six marriages does not make a man happy," Jonathan Rhys Meyers says, looking poised and relaxed in duds more suited to an Irish pub-crawl than the 16thcentury English monarch he plays in Michael Hirst's sprawling bodice ripper and historical tale of palace intrigue. "I don't know anybody who has been married six times who is particularly happy. <BR> <BR> "Nor even one," Meyers says, with a rueful laugh. "Love is blind, marriage is an eye-opener." <BR> <BR> When The Tudors returns, King Henry VIII is in his 30s. Knives are being sharpened, betrayal is in the air and the winds of destiny continue to conspire against the no-longer-so-young king. <BR> <BR> "He finds he can't trust anybody, because nobody is trustworthy." Meyers says. "Everybody has their own agenda. Look at anyone who assumes power: how young and fresh they look when they enter office, and how hardened and cynical they are when they come out of office. The experience of leadership has made Henry a very, very tense person. And, at the same time, he is very dangerous. Henry is a very dangerous man." <BR> <BR> The Tudors' third season focuses on Henry's ill-fated marriages to Jane Seymour and to Anne of Cleves, as played in The Tudors by Annabelle Wallis and R&B soul-singer Joss Stone respectively; the downfall of the scheming Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, played by James Frain; and Henry VIII's violent suppression of the Pilgrimage of Grace, a populist uprising in 1536 to protest the king's break with the Catholic Church in Rome. <BR> <BR> "In the first season, Henry was a very young man--a kid," Meyers said. "Young men do have redeeming qualities. They have a certain idealism. In the second season, a lot of tension happened with Anne Boleyn. He realized he was fascinated with Anne Boleyn, obsessed with Anne Boleyn --but he was not necessarily in love with Anne Boleyn. Certainly not in the same way he is in love with Jane Seymour. It was not a comfortable love. <BR> <BR> "You will find, at the start of the new season, even though he is still very dangerous, he has found a comfortable family life with Jane Seymour--and then that's snatched away from him. It throws him into further turmoil. And then, with the rebellion in the north, the ill-advice he gets from Thomas Cromwell concerning his marriage to Anne of Cleves, his continuing struggle with his faith--it all starts to snowball." <BR> <BR> The relationship between love and marriage in the royal courts of 16thcentury Europe was very different from the concept of marriage most people hold today, Meyers says. <BR> <BR> "Marriage was a commercial venture, rather than the natural result of love. You married and you had children because children brought you heirs. They were a kind of security for your future legacy. Usually, marriages were arranged for commercial, political or estate value. And every so often, a love match happened-- such as Henry's relationship with Jane Seymour. <BR> <BR> "Jane Seymour wasn't the crazy, mad passion of Anne Boleyn. After Anne Boleyn, it was kind of, 'Whew. Really, I think I can use a break.' And Jane Seymour was the break. She was the ray of light." <BR> <BR> Meyers suspects Henry struggled with his religious faith in his later years. <BR> <BR> "I believe Henry remained Catholic, really, most of his life. Even though he did not want to be ruled by the Pope in Rome, he still held on to those very, very strong Catholic beliefs, I think, all his life. After killing so many people, after putting people to death on a whim, I think your relationship with God becomes strained. There are a lot of things going on in Henry's head. He is a leader. And it is very difficult to lead." <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/Drama"><u>http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/Drama</u></a>+snowballs+with+Tudors+return/2044902/story.html<BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="010"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3028<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0111" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("011","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0112" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("011","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#011" name="011"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 29.09.09 21:29.

Windows in the new chapel area were covered, while its staircase was removed, replaced instead with a pile of rubble and wood and the castle's flagpoles were taken down. <BR> <BR> And the look will be completed in the coming days, with green screens to be erected at the castle entrance, blocking off the view of Bridge Street and Main Street and allowing the CGI team to add in more appropriate scene. Some 60 to 70 crew members are taking part in the three-day shoot, with a mix of nationalities working from 7am, through to 7pm or 8pm in the evening. <BR> <BR> Scenes shot in Swords will make up elements of the famous 1544 siege of Boulogne, which took place during King Henry VIII's second invasion of France. <BR> <BR> Filming initially took place in Kilruddery, where soldieries made their way up a hill, leading to the 'city of Boulogne', which will be represented on film by the outer walls of Swords Castle. <BR> <BR> The scenes will feature in the sixth of seventh episode of the series, which will more than likely be shown in Ireland next year. <BR> <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.fingal-independent.ie/entertainment/filming-takes-place-at-swords-castle-1905541.html"><u>http://www.fingal-independent.ie/entertainment/filming-takes-place-at-swords-castle-1905541.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="012"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3051<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0131" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("013","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0132" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("013","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#013" name="013"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 14.10.09 22:17.

Заголовок: Jonathan Rhys Meyers.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Jonathan Rhys Meyers is feeling playful. We're on the set of The Tudors, and as the director dishes out instructions to the cast, Rhys Meyers pretends to stab him with his sword. Then he leans over and whispers to one of the pretty young actresses on his right. "How's your sister?" <BR> <BR> This could be taken the wrong way, especially coming from a guy who has been linked to a string of Hollywood beauties, and whose alter ego is King Henry VIII, who had six wives. But Rhys Meyers is just being polite. The actress updates him, then introduces the actress next to her, who happens to come from Virginia. <BR> <BR> "Oh, you're the Yank?" he says, flashing her a grin. "Virginia! Land of corrrrn! You like corn?" <BR> <BR> His fake American accent sounds a bit silly but it has all the girls in fits of giggles. It's suddenly apparent why Rhys Meyers, initially a surprising choice for this role, got the part. <BR> <BR> "When I first heard that they wanted me to play Henry VIII, I laughed," he says. "I was like, you've got to be kidding. It's ridiculous." <BR> <BR> <BR> Current Oil Prices <BR> Check the Latest Oil Prices Plus Oil News at FT.com <BR> FT.com <BR> ICICI Lombard Insurance <BR> One Stop for all your General Insurance needs in India.

Большой выбор. <BR> www.molotok.ru <BR> <BR> It's a day earlier, and the actor has arrived at Dublin's Ardmore Studios, dressed in black skinny jeans, black singlet and black geek-chic glasses. He looks more rock star than royal. <BR> <BR> "I thought, they're going to want a proper Henry VIII. And I said 'guys, I'm not like that. I'm not your guy'. And then they explained what they were going to do." <BR> <BR> The idea was not to portray Henry as the fat, ageing tyrant of the history books but the young, athletic figure of emerging power in the 16th century. <BR> <BR> Rhys Meyers didn't have the weight or physical presence you'd expect for the part but he has a lot in common with the notorious monarch, says The Tudors creator and writer, Michael Hirst. <BR> <BR> "From what one reads about the young Henry VIII, he's not dissimilar in temperament. He's not dissimilar in looks either, but that was when Henry was young. But he lives kind of on the edge. He has a very small attention span and Henry did too. He's very bright and Henry was incredibly clever." <BR> <BR> Rhys Meyers can thank his short attention span for kick-starting his career. His father left the family home when his son was just 3. The eldest of three brothers, Rhys Meyers didn't exactly take on the paternal mantle. After he was expelled from high school at 16, he was discovered while hanging out in a pool hall in Cork. Later he went on to star in a series of commanding roles: a football coach in Bend it Like Beckham with Keira Knightley, a version of David Bowie in Velvet Goldmine, Elvis Presley in Elvis, for which he won a Golden Globe and a cheating husband in Woody Allen's Match Point with Scarlett Johansson. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/television/news/article.cfm?c_id=339&objectid=10603588"><u>http://www.nzherald.co.nz/television/news/article.cfm?c_id=339&objectid=10603588</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="014"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3061<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0151" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("015","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0152" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("015","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#015" name="015"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 22.10.09 22:51.

Заголовок: AFTER TAKING six a.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR> <BR> <BR> AFTER TAKING six awards in the Irish Film and Television Awards 'The Tudors' has finally run out of perishable wives and must draw a curtain on King Henry's reign in Bray. <BR> <BR> Shot on location in Ardmore Studios and County Wicklow, The HBO hit starring Cork-born Jonathan Rhys Meyers was the most successful drama to be made in these parts since ' Ballykissangel'. The programme has been a bolster to the Irish industry for the last number of years, <BR> <BR> The gap left when 'The Tudors' ceases will be a gaping wound. <BR> <BR> 'It has been a regular gig for a large chunk of people working in the film industry in Wicklow,' agreed Vibeke Delahunt of the County Wicklow Film Commission. <BR> <BR> Hope is mounting, however, that the American channel responsible for 'The Sopranos' will return to the Garden County soon with another similar production called 'Camelot' – same county, different king. <BR> <BR> With a wealth of eminently camera-friendly locations however, from Sally Gap and Powerscourt to the Bray Head Hotel or Harbour Bar and Russborough House, Killruddery, and Glendalough, can Wicklow continue to attract film and TV productions? <BR> <BR> The answer from the business is a resounding 'we certainly hope so.' This year so far has seen 'Raw', series two, made by RTE, as well as feature film 'Leap Year' shot in the Roundwood area. ITV sci-fi drama 'Primeval' is confirmed to be on the way to our area, which Kevin Moriarty of Ardmore Studios hopes to see dealt with on his turf. <BR> <BR> There is also a feature film in the pipeline by a Dublin company called Element Pictures, about which those in the know are remaining tight-lipped until the parties sign on the dotted line. However , nothing on the scale of the massive production about to finish in Bray is confirmed. <BR> <BR> ' The Tudors brought ?80 million into Wicklow over the last four years,' said Vibeke. 'The making of a similar programme would be great news for the county.' <BR> <BR> The period drama is not the first major money-spinner to grace the area, however. Many readers have fond memories of a very gracious and friendly Mel Gibson galloping all over Glendalough on horseback during the making of 'Braveheart', and who can forget Christie Brown's triumphant goal on a 'Dublin' street – the scene from 'My Left Foot' was actually shot in Bray. The star of that particular film, Daniel Day Lewis, was this year granted the freedom of Wicklow by the County Council. <BR> <BR> Wicklow Courthouse was one of the featured locations in 2006 for 'Becoming Jane', a charming tale of the life of author Jane Austen starring Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy, while the popular 'PS I Love You' was shot in Blessington the same year. <BR> <BR> The list goes on. 'Lassie', 'Breakfast on Pluto', 'The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse', 'King Arthur' and 'Laws of Attraction'. <BR> <BR> The wonderful Angela Lansbury has even worked in the area for the TV Movie version of 'Murder She Wrote' shot in Rathdrum. <BR> <BR> An improved tax incentive may continue to bring film-makers to the east coast, however, it remains to be seen if the bigbudget days of 'Excalibur' or 'Reign of Fire' will return. <BR> <BR> Stanley Kubrick first got a Wicklow welcome back in 1975 for Barry Lyndon, we're not sure if anyone of that calibre will ever return, but no matter – we'll always have 'Fair City'. <BR> <BR> - Mary FOGARTY <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.wicklowpeople.ie/news/tudor-wrap-1928012.html"><u>http://www.wicklowpeople.ie/news/tudor-wrap-1928012.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="016"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3069<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0171" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("017","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0172" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("017","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#017" name="017"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 30.10.09 00:56. Заголовок: Jonathan Rhys Meyers.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Jonathan Rhys Meyers loves playing Henry VIII, but is certainly not in love with his character’s diet. <BR> <BR> The Irish actor and “Tudors” star revealed the king’s “deathly” food choices. <BR> <BR> "If you look at the Tudor diet, I'm surprised anyone lasted longer than six months,” he told Canada’s Edmonton Sun. <BR> <BR> While the actors on the set of the hit Showtime series nosh on fruit and veggies, their 16th century English “Tudors” characters opt for less healthy meals. <BR> <BR> For the king, Rhys Meyers explained, "They would take a chicken, tear the top off, giblets on the top, and they would take giblets from the bottom, they would take the throat, and the head, and the feet, and they would clip the wings, and they would cook those. The breast would go to the poor." <BR> <BR> But while the wealthy wined and dined on fattening foods, the poor were known to be healthier and live longer. <BR> <BR> "The poor were mostly rural, agricultural, so they would eat vegetables, they would drink water, they would eat roast beef, whatever they had at the time," the Irishman said. "Whereas if you went into the city, you're having jowl of salmon, jowl of chicken.” <BR> <BR> Rhys Meyers went on with his history lesson, explaining that royalty weren’t very hygienic either. <BR> <BR> "And when you're inside the kingdom itself, sanitation goes out the window,” the actor/model said. “Clean water was not a possibility. What they used to drink as water had a good percentage of ale in it. <BR> <BR> "The average man would imbibe 22 liters of alcohol per week, the average woman 15. So when you see portraits from that time and everybody looks a little worn? That's why they look worn." <BR> <BR> No wonder Henry VIII drank all that ale, because as Rhys Meyers explains, “A lot of things are going on in Henry’s head. <BR> <BR> “He is a leader. It is very difficult to lead." <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-reveals-royaltys-deathly-diet-on-The-Tudors-66445697.html"><u>http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-reveals-royaltys-deathly-diet-on-The-Tudors-66445697.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="017"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3077<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0181" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("018","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0182" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("018","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#018" name="018"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 02.11.09 22:40. Заголовок: IT’S 5.45am on a dar.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>IT’S 5.45am on a dark October morning and I am sitting on a bus bound for the Kilmainham Royal Hospital. I am to be an extra in a scene for The Tudors . As a novice I am lucky to be sitting beside Gene, an old pro who is doing his best to initiate me into the hidden world of the extra. As the bus picks up more people, he remarks that there are no women on board. <BR> <BR> “So, it’s a battle scene?” <BR> <BR> I suggest. <BR> <BR> “Hardly, look around you,” he says with a sigh and I realise we are surrounded by men whose sword-wielding days are well and truly over. Oops! The bus arrives at the hospital gate and is directed around to the rear. <BR> <BR> We disembark and head to a large white marquee. I follow Gene, not letting him out of my sight. The morning has brightened and the scale of the operation becomes apparent. Outside the marquee there is a mobile kitchen, a generator and toilets. Just inside the entrance is a long table with rows of neatly laid out forms, one for each of us. These are to be guarded jealously and signed at the end of our stint as proof of our participation. Then we are allocated our “roles”. Gene gets to be a councillor, but as one of the lesser-experienced extras I am assigned the role of a bishop. <BR> <BR> We are sent to a cloakroom where we leave our possessions and are then costumed up. Once fitted, it’s straight into “hair”, a quick trip over to make-up and then it’s out to the mobile kitchen for breakfast. Time elasped, about 30 minutes for 70 grumpy men; not bad. <BR> <BR> After a full Irish we sit and await our instructions. The experienced have brought along newspapers or books. It’s approaching 9am when one of the production people comes and gathers us around to go through the king’s speech. It is a long speech by television standards and requires us to be, in turn: awestruck, happy, filled with consternation and finally, loving. I get nervous. At what stage was I supposed to mumble consternation again? Before you can say “stage fright” we are marched off to the chapel in Kilmainham Hospital. All of the clergy take up one side and the laity the other. I see straight away who the real extras are. They are the ones with the wigs and complicated costumes, some even have swords. My ego is pricked but there’s no time for jealousy. <BR> <BR> The floor manager again goes through the scene, step by step, and we await the presence of King Henry VIII, aka, Jonathan Rhys Meyers. <BR> <BR> As instructed we feign conversation, but as soon as the king’s presence is announced, we bow. In this scene the king is an old man, and step by painful step he makes it to his throne. He begins his speech and chides us, then lambasts us, then offers us his love. We applaud him, and he makes his way out. And that’s it? <BR> <BR> Well, not exactly. We do it several more times, from different angles, with different reactions. Through it all Jonathan has been superb. He delivers the same speech with equal passion and waits patiently as the technicians set up the new cameras positions. <BR> <BR> Where were the film star tantrums? Maybe he is too tired to throw them, I ponder? <BR> <BR> As there are no windows in the chapel, people are beginning to wilt and a tea break is announced. Outside, the clergy and laity mix with the bemused tourists. A lady asks if she can take a photograph of me and I get my first taste of celebrity- hood. All too soon, it’s back inside again. Same positions for everybody, but this time there are metal tracks laid on the floor. More camera work tracks the king as he walks to, and <BR> <BR> then from the throne. I come to realise the greatest gift you can possess for this job: patience. <BR> <BR> After every take the director disappears into another room to contemplate the result. We wait anxiously and finally he’s happy. I am told that this scene has been completed quite quickly compared with others. A five-minute scene took five hours. I do the maths and can understand why this is a valuable industry to Ireland. In all there must have been hundreds of people involved. <BR> <BR> Tired and stiff, we make our way back to the marquee to get some lunch: chicken in a tomato sauce with veg, plus a dessert. It is about 2pm and we don’t know whether we are to be used again or not. The announcement comes. <BR> <BR> “I need four bishops and some laity.” The old hands step forward quickly, leaving us newbies behind. <BR> <BR> “Everybody else hand back your costumes and thank you very much.” <BR> <BR> And that’s it, my career in the movies is over. <BR> <BR> On the one hand I am relieved to be out of the heavy costume and back into my own clothes, but on the other . . . <BR> <BR> As a few of us walk back to the bus I glance behind. The remaining extras are heading back towards the hospital, resplendent in their costumes. But we, the discarded few, are making our way across the well-trodden grass, back to our own time, our own place. The real world. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2009/1102/1224257901091.html"><u>http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2009/1102/1224257901091.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="018"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3078<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0191" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("019","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0192" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("019","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#019" name="019"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 03.11.09 23:11. Заголовок: ONE OF this columnis.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>ONE OF this columnist's favorites is actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. He is heading into the final season of "The Tudors" on Showtime. He will now appear as the older, more debauched Henry VIII. I am told that Jonathan has actually consented to "some aging." After all, he was, from the beginning, such an unlikely -- though brilliant -- choice for the role of the red-haired English monarch, and he got through most of this amazing series looking ravishing. <BR> <BR> Jonathan is one of those dark-night-of-the-soul kind of guys -- very intense, full of "issues." But one can break through and not have a total nervous collapse while interviewing him. <BR> <BR> He was a challenge at first. But if one just concentrates on his lips, his eyes, his boldly exposed chest, one gets through it. And he seemed to like it that this interviewer knew just a bit about English history. <BR> <BR> P.S. "The Tudors" drives scholars half mad. It is not always authentic. But it's great drama. And you never will forget some of its torture scenes -- people wrapped in oiled bandages for the fire, red-hot pokers up the backside, the rack reducing pathetic humans to crawling remnants as they approach the headman's ax. But after all, this part of "The Tudors" is authentic. Unfortunately. <BR> <BR> SING! DANCE! THRILL! ENJOY! What a kick to see a Broadway musical and be able to sing along (silently, of course) with such classics as "That Old Devil Moon," "Look to the Rainbow," "How Are Things in Glocca Morra," "If This Isn't Love." <BR> <BR> That's what you'll be doing if you go see the truly sparkling production of the beloved "Finian's Rainbow" just opened at the St. James Theater on Broadway. <BR> <BR> There's a wonderful cast, led by the one and only Jim Norton. (Broadway awarded his performance in "The Seafarer" with a Tony in 2008!) This Irish gent bears laughter and tears on his humble shoulders magnificently throughout. <BR> <BR> Then there's the endearingly lovely Kate Baldwin as his daughter. Ms. Baldwin is a big winner with her rich voice and charming looks, performing in this 62-year-old classic by Burton Lane and Yip Harburg. And, of course, there's the smolderingly sexy Cheyenne Jackson as her love, sending sparks up around both of them. Everyone in this show is great, and what's more, you can bring your children. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118010755.html?categoryId=14&cs=1&cache=false"><u>http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118010755.html?categoryId=14&cs=1&cache=false</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="019"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3081<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0201" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("020","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0202" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("020","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#020" name="020"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 04.11.09 16:03. Заголовок: "IT'S GOOD t.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>"IT'S GOOD to be King!" said Mel Brooks in "The History of the World, Part I." It's good to be Jonathan Rhys Meyers, too. This young actor -- only 30, though acting since his teens -- has hit his stride. He plays a new kind of Henry VIII in Showtime's opulent and sexy "The Tudors," which begins its second season Sunday. I met with Jonathan down in Manhattan's Soho, at the trendy 60 Thompson Street hotel. He looked, head to toe, like a page from men's Vogue. He is impossibly handsome. His features are startlingly lush; the eyes, the famous mouth. Like a matinee idol of years past -- Tyrone Power, perhaps -- even if Jonathan weren't a famous actor, he'd stop any room he entered. (The Dublin native began his career playing a glam-rocker in the cult classic "Velvet Goldmine" and he exudes a slightly decadent, ambiguous rock-star glamour.) The star is kinetic, and at first, almost disconcertingly intense. He laughs, "Oh, I know it. People always say to me, you're so jittery, you can't sit still, you're nervous. But I'm not nervous. I'm just a very excitable guy. I'm enthusiastic. I can't help myself." He says that when he made "Mission: Impossible III" with Tom Cruise, he found somebody else with a similar powerful energy. "I had a great time on that, and when Tom and I were together it was like, whoosh!, all the air in the room evaporated. He was terrific to work with because he is so committed and professional. I mean, 17 hours a day. You have to respect that." <BR> <BR> I REMIND Jonathan that we'd met briefly once before, at the premiere of his Woody Allen thriller, "Match Point." I hadn't been able to talk at length with him that night. But, when I passed him at the party, I said, "Great film, great performance, but what a sociopath your character is." Jonathan stepped back and barked, "He's not a sociopath, he's just a guy in a bad spot." I didn't pursue further niceties. So now I ask, was Henry VIII a sociopath or "just a guy in a bad spot?" Jonathan says: "Neither. He's a megalomaniac, somebody with absolute power who has been corrupted by it, absolutely. He was a great King in many ways, and did great things. But he also did terrible things. Not just to his women, but to his people. In the matter of divorcing Catherine of Aragon and marrying Anne Boleyn, challenging the church, he gave his people no choice. Choose the Pope or the King, be excommunicated by the Pope or excommunicated by the King. And God help you if you choose the Pope! I'm trying to show how he became what he became, why he was so paranoid, why he was so ashamed. He was paranoid because everybody wanted to be King and the knives were everywhere, literally. He was ashamed because in the matter of Catherine and Anne, he knew he'd done wrong. He never doubted the legitimacy of his marriage to Catherine. He wanted Anne, period." <BR> <BR> JONATHAN, slender, toned, not towering in height, is a very different Henry than we've seen before. "I had some trepidation, when offered the role. You know, when I played Elvis, I could look in the mirror, and sort of see Elvis in myself. But Henry the VIII? So, you know, I decided I'd play it more from here," touching the smooth plane of his semi-bare chest. "I do think we've sort of changed the game. When I saw photos of Eric Bana as Henry in "The Other Boleyn Girl" I thought, "Fuck! He doesn't look that dissimilar from me. I worried a little how I'd stack up. He's so tall; he's got that overpowering quality. And I've met him. He handed me my Golden Globe for 'Elvis." I remember just looking way up! But this is the 21st century. You have to have a hot Henry VIII! Nobody wants to see a 300 pound man making love to a beautiful woman. Maybe on some strange Internet site, but otherwise audiences demand eye-candy all around." <BR> <BR> The network is already planning a third season, minus the unfortunate ladies, Anne and Catherine, who meet their respective ends this year. Jonathan says, "I hope season three focuses on the rebellion in Scotland, where you see Henry fight for a change." I wondered if the series would touch on the pathetic Katherine Howard, the second wife to lose her head? Jonathan couldn't say, but did remark that Mistress Howard "absolutely deserved to be beheaded. Anne Boleyn was executed because there was no other way to get out of that. She couldn't give him a son and that was the reason for the marriage. But Katherine Howard earned her beheading. She was a little nymphomaniac. She had over one hundred lovers in the palace!" Now, I begged to differ with Jonathan; she'd had a number of indiscreet affairs before and, alas, during her marriage to Henry, but a "nympho" a "hundred lovers?" The actor was adamant and I let it go -- you don't argue with Jonathan Rhys Meyers! He did soften slightly, "Well, she was very young and silly, the poor thing had no concept of 'wed and bed' -- she didn't see she was doing anything wrong, Henry being rather gross by then." Jonathan spoke glowingly of Maria Doyle Kennedy, who plays Catherine, and infuses her every moment with dignity and strength, "Isn't she magnificent?!" he exclaimed. And of the delectable Natalie Dormer, as Anne, he insists, "season two belongs to her. She owns it; she plays it like a harp and broke down walls with this performance." <BR> <BR> On the bigscreen, Jonathan will soon be seen in "The Children of Hunag Shi," in which he plays a reporter covering the infamous Japanese occupation of China in 1937. And then comes "Mandrake," based on the comicbook character, Mandrake the Magician. <BR> <BR> HE STUDIED when very young at the foot of the great Italian director Lucino Visconti...He helped form the iconic operatic career of Maria Callas and became one of her intimate friends...He breathed new life into Shakespeare with a beautiful version of "Romeo and Juliet" in 1967, using actual teenagers playing teenagers...He gave Elizabeth Taylor a lusty shot at the Bard in "The Taming of the Shrew"...He offered Cher her last good movie role in his autobiographical film "Tea With Mussolini"...He raised the TV miniseries genre to a new level of quality with "Jesus of Nazereth." I do mean the one and only Franco Zeffirelli. On Saturday, at the Metropolitan Opera, Franco will receive a special plaque during the opening night intermission of his production of "La Boheme." This lush version of Puccini's tragic tale is the most performed production in Met history. It has been staged 346 times! Believe me, even if opera is not "your thing," Zeffirelli's concept conquers all. When Franco's Mimi coughs at the start of the third act, you realize that NyQuil won't help. <BR> <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117982950.html?categoryid=2062&cs=1"><u>http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117982950.html?categoryid=2062&cs=1</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="020"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3087<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0211" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("021","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0212" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("021","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#021" name="021"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 11.11.09 01:11.

Publication date: December. <BR> <BR> If you spent some time gazing at the above photo, then you know this is a good time for a book about Anne Boleyn. The third season of "The Tudors," starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII and Natalie Dormer as Anne, aired earlier this year, with the fourth and final season coming in the spring. Entertainment Weekly's Alynda Wheat doesn't think much of the series overall, but she has been wowed by how the "randy courtiers shtup like crazy." (The Los Angeles Times, meanwhile, wrote admiringly of Dormer's "super-hot nightgowns.") <BR> <BR> So now, having gotten all flushed and twitchy watching the Showtime series, you may want to know how true to life this portrayal is. Not very, of course. The threat of the plague is shown in a single scene, writes one critic, with "the camera passing over the night-blue faces of beautiful women taken too young -- the Black Death as a fashion shoot you would find in Italian Vogue." Needless to say, the glossily sculpted Rhys Meyers has no place in historical 16th century England. Contemporary portraits of the real Henry show a scowling, rather homely man, with a double chin rather than steel abs. And Anne, though by many accounts a pretty young woman (and an excellent dancer to boot), was much more sexually modest than "The Tudors" would have you believe. <BR> <BR> annieboleyn.jpgThe real Anne BoleynIndeed, it may come as some surprise to Showtime viewers that, to Anne, Henry's allure was primarily his political power, not his sexual prowess. In "The Lady in the Tower," historian Alison Weir insists that England's break with the Catholic Church wasn't just about Henry's frustrated desire for an annulment from Catherine of Aragon. The author asserts that, even before she supplanted Catherine and became queen, the relatively well-educated, free-thinking Anne was a radical evangelist who exerted significant sway over Henry's decisions regarding Church reform. Further, Weir rejects as myth that Henry had Anne executed for her inability to conceive a son. Instead, the vain, insecure Henry became suspicious of Anne's popularity at court. (Anne didn't help her own cause by snickering at Henry's love poems.) Chief minister Thomas Cromwell preyed upon his king's faults and launched an investigation. Jealous of the queen for her sophistication and influence, Cromwell framed Anne. She was falsely convicted of adultery, incest and high treason and beheaded in May of 1536, after only three years as queen. <BR> <BR> That's compelling stuff, full of political intrigue and packing an emotional wallop. Maybe Natalie Dormer should get an Anne Boleyn spin-off series all to herself. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.oregonlive.com/books/index.ssf/2009/11/i_want_to_read_the_lady_in_the.html"><u>http://www.oregonlive.com/books/index.ssf/2009/11/i_want_to_read_the_lady_in_the.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="021"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR><TD colspan=2 bgcolor="#f99ff" align=center class=font2> <div class=font2><div class='stargate' style='max-height:300px; overflow:hidden;'> <div id="yandex_rtb_R-A-515015-2"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(w, d, n, s, t) { w[n] = w[n] || []; w[n].push(function() { Ya.Context.AdvManager.render({ blockId: "R-A-515015-2", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-515015-2", async: true }); }); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s = d.createElement("script"); s.type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); })(this, this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks"); </script></div></div> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3116<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0221" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("022","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0222" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("022","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#022" name="022"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 16.12.09 08:27. Заголовок: Having become a sex .. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Having become a sex symbol playing King Henry VIII for three seasons on The Tudors, Meyers talks about beheadings, love and staying fit. Also out this week on Blu-Ray/DVD is Inglorious Basterds, The Hangover, G-Force, Star Trek, Taking Woodstock & others. <BR> Portraying Great Britian's seductive, lustful, merciless and most powerful monarch, King Henry VIII, for three seasons on the highly rated Showtime series The Tudors (Season 3 is now on DVD) has turned Irish-born actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers into hot, bankable property in La-La-Land. And, thanks to his fine work on The Tudors, not only has Meyers quickly ascended Hollywood’s ladder to stardom, he's now an annual fixture on The Sexiest Man Alive lists across the globe. But most importantly, Meyers, who has an impressive film resume (that includes such motion pictures as Velvet Goldmine, Mission Impossible 3, August Rush, Titus, Elvis and Bend It Like Beckham), has single-handedly and believably transformed the once legendary, seemingly indestructable and larger-than-life King Henry VIII into an insecure, overly-ambitious, overindulgent and regret-filled lonely man during his time on The Tudors. <BR> In Season Three, just released on DVD, Henry weds his fourth wife, Jane Seymour (Annabelle Wallis), just days after having, his third Queen, Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer), beheaded. After Jane makes peace between Henry and his first daughter Lady Mary, Jane becomes pregnant and soon gives birth to a male heir. But, the Queen dies shortly afterwards. Although Henry is broken-hearted, he soon agrees to a political, loveless marriage (urged on by Cromwell) with the German aristocrat Anne of Cleves (played by pop music star Joss Stone), but surrounds himself with a number of mistresses. With plans to annul Anne, he begins to move ahead to marry 17-year-old Katherine Howard. Politically, as a ruler, Henry cruelly crushes members of the religious-based, Pilgrimage Of Grace uprising, he puts Cromwell to death and continues to fight with the Pope (Max Von Sydow), who is encouraging Spain and France to attack the British Isles in the name of Catholicism. <BR> For the 32-year-old Meyers (born Jonathan O’Keefe in Dublin), his time as King Henry VIII comes to end in 2010 when the Fourth and Final season of The Tudors airs on Showtime (beginning in January). But Meyers already has a busy film schedule filled with one movie role after another (starting with the February 2010 spy thriller From Paris With Love) to keep him busy. But, he will always be grateful for having nabbed the role as one of England's greatest rulers – a challenging role for any actor. “Playing Henry VIII has been one of the most educational and exciting roles of my career…and my life,” Meyers said during an LA press junket. “It’s been incredible being able to play a character for a number of years and being able to grow along with him. At the end of the day, The Tudors has taught me how to be a better actor. That's the best way I can say it.” <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/283884"><u>http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/283884</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="022"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3118<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0231" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("023","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0232" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("023","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#023" name="023"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 16.12.09 23:29.

But having spent a number of days on the set of the ?75 million TV series 'The Tudors', I must admit that perception would be totally wrong. <BR> <BR> From the minute I arrived at Ardmore Studios in Bray recently, where The Tudors has been based for the past four years, I found everyone, from staff in the production office, to grips, electricians, camera operators and assistant directors – even the star of the series, Jonathan Rhys Myers – as helpful and courteous as could be. <BR> <BR> The series, which depicts the life and loves of King Henry VIII, and which featured actress Maria Doyle-Kennedy (who grew up in Enniscorthy) as his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, has been a huge success worldwide and in doing so has also shown the world what the Irish film industry is capable of doing. <BR> <BR> My chance to get on the set came about through Bagenalstown based artist Laurence O'Toole, who has worked on many films over the years, including such blockbusters as The Commitments, Saving Private Ryan, Michael Collins and the Count of Monte Cristo, and his girlfriend, Jen Griffin, who worked as an accountant on The Tudors. Thanks to their help I was afforded the opportunity to experience at first hand all that goes into making a hugely successful television series. <BR> <BR> As with any new adventure I felt like a fish out of water on arrival at the Ardmore studio but within minutes one of the assistant directors had taken me in hand – not literally – and began explaining the very basics of the business, such as who does what, where to find equipment, how a scene is put together and all the other work which the audience never sees. <BR> <BR> I was immediately struck by the attention to detail for everything on the set. It is incredible. If you think the sets and costumes on the show are elaborate what you see on your television screen doesn't really do them justice. Walking onto the set is like stepping back in time to the court of King Henry, even down to the dust on the furniture. <BR> <BR> Walking through the wardrobe department I saw rows upon rows of costumes and over 200 baskets containing trinkets and all sorts of jewellery. <BR> <BR> Each of King Henry's wives had their own style, hence there was never a question of over-lapping of costumes, and as all his wives were going to appear in a dream scene near the end of the series, even though some of the actresses had not worked on the show for a couple of years, their costumes were kept in <BR> <BR> Out on location is another matter entirely. First impressions are of the enormous amount of equipment needed. An entire fleet of trucks are first to arrive, carrying tonnes of equipment, lighting, cameras, props, temporary road, generators – you name it – not to mention the miles upon miles of cables, and all the workers needed to create whatever scene the director has in mind. <BR> <BR> Next come the actors, extras, makeup crews and assistant directors, – all arriving in a fleet of taxis – and caterers, complete with a mobile canteen – an old converted doubledecker bus. <BR> <BR> To some the attention to detail might border on the boring, but to a film buff like me it was pure entertainment. <BR> <BR> What also amazed me was the friendliness on the set among all departments. <BR> <BR> 'I see you are back to your old self again – young and sexy,' remarked one of the crew to King Henry – a reference to the fact that for several previous scenes he had worn a lot of make up to make him look old. 'Young, at least,' the actor replied. Naturally I was keen to have a photograph taken with the man, but how does one approach the star of a ?75 million show? This was his last day of filming for the entire series so it was now or never. As he ducked into his tent just after shooting a segment of his 'dream' scene I managed to pluck up the courage and ask for a photo. Expecting a ' no' but hoping for a 'yes' I gestured to the camera. Just imagine my relief when he stepped forward. Quickly handing the camera to a nearby grip to do the honours, I stepped forward, not paying any attention to the fact that the sun was shining directly into our faces. But ever the actor the king quickly changed positions to allow for a better angle – and a better photo for me – checked the photo was OK, before hopping back on set to complete the scene. <BR> <BR> Anyone in the business will tell you that timing is everything and thankfully I had chosen my timing wisely because after the scene was shot someone noticed something was not quite right, which meant it had to be done all over again – leaving the king with a scowl on his face to say the least. <BR> <BR> Before I knew it the day quickly drew to a close and with it my involvement with The Tudors. All that remains now is to wait in anticipation for the time the two final episodes are shown and to see the difference between reality and make-belief. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.wexfordpeople.ie/lifestyle/walking-onto-the-tudors-set-is-like-stepping-back-in-time-1977241.html"><u>http://www.wexfordpeople.ie/lifestyle/walking-onto-the-tudors-set-is-like-stepping-back-in-time-1977241.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="023"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3119<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0241" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("024","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0242" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("024","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#024" name="024"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 17.12.09 08:07.

Заголовок: As one of our most b.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>As one of our most beautiful young actresses, it's only natural that Dublin starlet Sarah Bolger has been linked with a string of handsome men. <BR> <BR> But the TV daughter of Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the steamy historical drama series The Tudors has exclusively revealed that she is definitely on the market for 2010. <BR> <BR> And she has rubbished reports linking her romantically with the handsome son of the former US ambassador to Ireland, Tom Foley Jnr. <BR> <BR> The young pair set tongues wagging after turning up to see his dad, also called Tom, marry former White House lawyer Leslie Ann Fahrenkopf at a lavish VIP ceremony in Celbridge last year. <BR> <BR> Attendees at the exclusive bash included RTE's Gerry Ryan with girlfriend Melanie Verwoerd, U2's Larry Mullen, Pat Kenny and wife Cathy alongside Gay Byrne with Kathleen Watkins. <BR> <BR> Ridiculous <BR> <BR> However, Sarah (18) has insisted that she is definitely not dating the strapping American, nor anyone else, as she's too busy concentrating on her career. <BR> <BR> "No I wish - that would be good. To be honest, I've been single a long time. I've had a load of guy friends and the papers write this stuff about you, like what happened with me and Tom, that was ridiculous. He's my best friend, but there's no romance there," she said. <BR> <BR> One of the stars of the Oscar-nominated movie In America, she has been catapulted into the TV limelight too, thanks to her role as Princess Mary in the Tudors, for which she has been nominated for an IFTA. <BR> <BR> And despite her tender years, she insists her parents have no problem with her co-starring in such a saucy series detailing the exploits of her bed-hopping father King Henry VIII. <BR> <BR> "I have to admit, my character is the least sexually active! I had dresses that were buttoned up the whole way to the neck so I was quite modest -- but the Tudors is what it is. It's like the historical soap opera of the TV world -- I loved working on it. They have been like a family to me for the last three years. <BR> <BR> She also shot down reports that the lead actor's well-documented battle with the booze ever spilled over onto the set of the Irish-based drama. <BR> <BR> "He's amazing, I absolutely love him. It's such a gentleman. You read so much stuff in the press but I'm honestly never experienced anything like that," she said. "Any day I've been on set, he's always in on time and he knows not only your lines but the entire script - he's such a perfectionist." <BR> <BR> The year ahead is also going to be a busy one for young Sarah, as she will be making a new movie with Mary Harren, the director of American Psycho. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/around-town/romance-im-just-too-busy-to-find-my-own-leading-man-says-sarah-2027067.html"><u>http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/around-town/romance-im-just-too-busy-to-find-my-own-leading-man-says-sarah-2027067.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i031.radikal.ru/0804/ee/60b5e37e6a11.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="026"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3324<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0271" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("027","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0272" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("027","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#027" name="027"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 25.02.10 00:34.

A bunch of us got together and had a laugh with it. We were surprised enough to win that competition but I was gobsmacked when Derry O'Brien, my distributor got on to say that Channel 4 were buying that as well as 'Whatever Turns You On'. <BR> <BR> The film maker is currently sponsoring a digital filmmaking course in the town with FÁS and Drogheda Youth Development aimed at encouraging young people to explore this opening market. <BR> <BR> He is also in the middle of a photography project in Drogheda which will see him photograph local people of every age from newborn to 70 years old. <BR> <BR> ' The exhibition of this work is going to be called 'Three Score and Ten' from the biblical reference about the lifespan of humans. I'm still looking for volunteers to be photographed,' he added. <BR> <BR> Anyone wishing to be part of the exhibition can contact Cassidy through his website at www.declancassidy.com. <BR> <BR> Meanwhile, the celebrations are still on-going in the Holmes-Fagan household after the local husband and wife production team brought home an IFTA from the glittering ceremony in Dublin last Saturday night. <BR> <BR> Labour councillor Eoin Holmes and Niamh Fagan won the Special Irish Language Award for their TG4 drama Rásaí na Gaillimhe, which aired last year. <BR> <BR> It was one of five nomi- <BR> <BR> the <BR> <BR> production nations received. <BR> <BR> Directed by Robert Quinn and starring Don Wycherley and Ruth Bradley amongst others and proved to be the most viewed TV drama on the Irish language channel. <BR> <BR> 'Niamh and I are delighted to have won. It's a great honour,' says Eoin, who runs Great Western Films, with Niamh, mum to their four children Nora (6), Milo (4), Hannah (2) and Arlo (9 mths). <BR> <BR> 'We share this award with lots of other people though, not least the writer and director, and we are thrilled that a second series is in the pipeline, given that it was the most successful series ever commissioned by the channel.' <BR> <BR> There was an incredible third local link to the IFTAs last Saturday, as Gormanston girl Kate McCullogh was part of the team honoured for the Ken Wardrop film 'His and Hers' which won the George Morrison Feature Documentary Award, in documentary and current affairs. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.drogheda-independent.ie/news/channel-4-snaps-up-local-directors-films-2077347.html"><u>http://www.drogheda-independent.ie/news/channel-4-snaps-up-local-directors-films-2077347.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="027"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3404<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0281" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("028","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0282" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("028","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#028" name="028"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 30.03.10 07:34. Заголовок: "The Tudors".. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>"The Tudors" returns for its fourth and final season on Sunday, April 11 at 9 p.m. on Showtime. <BR> <BR> In the third season, King Henry VIII's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) relationships with Jane Seymour (Annabelle Wallis) and Anne of Cleves (Joss Stone) crumbled. <BR> <BR> Henry suppressed protests over England's break with Rome and the Catholic church, and the season ended with the execution of his cunning chief minister, Thomas Cromwell (James Frain) <BR> <BR> Season two of “The Tudors” exceeded the first with deepening storylines and building court drama. It was the story of the fated climbing Boleyn family that took center stage. <BR> <BR> That season was also defined by the unraveling of the Catholic Church and rise of Thomas Cromwell’s power and influence; it was Cromwell, a cunning self-educated man, who was an architect of the Reformation movement in England with the introduction of religious leader Thomas Cranmer to King Henry VIII's court. <BR> <BR> These actions in the earlier seasons were the frame for Henry’s courtside politics and affairs of love in season two, three and now four. <BR> <BR> And like season one, they are penned as a clever blend of actual history and creative commissioned entertainment by the hand of show creator and writer, Michael Hirst. <BR> <BR> The cast and crew worked their magic at Ardmore Studios, near Dublin. The crew remains the same - and this season you will again truly appreciate the outstanding achievements of Emmy award winning costume designer Joan Bergin, who took the honor in 2007 for her exemplary work on “The Tudors.” <BR> <BR> Her craftsmanship abounds in the gowns and adornments for all the King's wives, as well as his own regal costuming. <BR> <BR> Bergin’s eye captured the smallest details of the commoners and various court denizens. “I did a lot of research into Spanish and Italian fashion from the period. I’ve amalgamated Tudor style with more European influences, so overall the look is softer. ..This season we’ve created in the region of 1500 costume pieces,” revealed Bergin to M&C in a past interview. <BR> <BR> The final season will feature Henry's last two wives, Catherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant) and Catherine Parr (Joely Richardson). <BR> <BR> Rhys Meyers will be donning prosthetics and changing grey hair to more accurately portray Henry in his older, more unhealthy years. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.monstersandcritics.com/smallscreen/news/article_1544492.php/Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-shines-as-King-Henry-VIII-for-round-four-of-Tudors"><u>http://www.monstersandcritics.com/smallscreen/news/article_1544492.php/Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-shines-as-King-Henry-VIII-for-round-four-of-Tudors</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="028"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3422<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0291" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("029","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0292" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("029","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#029" name="029"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 08.04.10 07:31. Заголовок: I'm Henry VIII: .. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>I'm Henry VIII: Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Annabelle Wallis, who played Jane Seymour, one of Henry's many wives, in Showtime's The Tudors, which returns on Sunday. <BR> <BR> Soon, we won't have Henry VIII to hiss at anymore. <BR> <BR> Not that he's going away. Oh no, the 16th-century English king and his Tudor clan are never going away, or so it seems from the torrent of Tudor content that pours into contemporary culture: in best-selling books and award-winning movies, flashy TV series and catchy advertising, in songs, plays and operas, in videos on YouTube, discussion groups on Facebook, and about a half-million websites on the Internet. <BR> <BR> "Henry VIII and his court are like celebrities, like Brad and Jennifer and Angelina," says Claire Ridgway, who runs TheAnneBoleynFiles.com, a U.K. website that attracts fans of Henry's second wife. "We're hooked on the crazy private lives of these Tudor characters." <BR> <BR> PHOTOS: Meet the cast of 'The Tudors' <BR> TRAILER: See a preview of the new season <BR> TUDOR MANIA: It's a media obsession <BR> <BR> Crazy, and hooked, indeed. Henry VIII is perhaps the most famous/infamous king in the history of kings — and Americans, especially, can't get enough of him and his descendants. People even eat like Tudors. Look up Henry VIII's diet and follow it, if you dare. It was probably one of the things that helped send him to his richly deserved death, at 55, not long after beheading Wife No. 5 and marrying Wife No. 6. <BR> <BR> Now, with the return Sunday of Showtime's The Tudors for its fourth and final season, Henry's demise approaches as the sex-and-violence-and-history soap opera winds down. This season will cover the fate of Henry's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) fifth wife, pathetic teenager Katherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant), and move on to his final wife, the older, steadier Catherine Parr (Joely Richardson), who nursed him and survived him. We don't actually see him die; the king's bloated, smelly corpse will be carted off stage, and that will be that. We won't get to hear the riveting details of what happens to the other Tudors — his three children, who reigned in turn as Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. <BR> <BR> "People are upset the show is ending — and why end with Henry? Why not go on to Elizabeth, who was one of the best monarchs?" asks Anne Rodill, mistress of a fan blog, TudorsOnline.com, which she says can draw up to 75,000 visitors a week during the show's season. <BR> <BR> But it turns out The Tudors didn't need all the Tudors, having managed to captivate a respectable audience (averaging a little less than 1 million viewers for its Sunday premieres) for three years with a lavish retelling of the familiar tale of one particular Tudor: the matrimonially challenged Henry VIII. <BR> <BR> Ridgway says The Tudors is popular because it's all about sensory overload. "It's packed full of beautiful people, wonderful sets, exquisite jewelry and costumes," she says. "It has all of the ingredients of a good soap opera: goodies, baddies, romance, sex, violence, family dynasty, birth, death, murder, passion, betrayal, infidelity, hatred, suspense and cliffhangers. But it's a true story." <BR> <BR> Well, mostly true; some license has been taken for purposes of clarity. <BR> <BR> "The story is so dramatic, you couldn't make it up," says British historian and novelist Alison Weir (her latest book is The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn), who objects to inaccuracies in The Tudors but acknowledges she has watched it as "gripping drama." <BR> <BR> 'An evil, evil man' <BR> <BR> As The Tudors extravagantly detailed, Henry, in desperate need of a male heir, married six women and executed two of them, chopping off their heads. He crushed one church and invented a new one with himself as head. He tortured and killed scores of innocents, confiscated his subjects' land, and generally tyrannized his island kingdom for decades in the early 16th century. As played by Irish actor Rhys Meyers, 32, Henry is the ultimate self-absorbed blowhard, deteriorating from youthful beauty and grace into declining health and mounting megalomania, culminating in murderous malevolence. <BR> <BR> "An evil, evil man," says self-described "royalist" Dean McKinnon, 62, a travel-industry analyst in Dallas. "I can't wait until Season 4. Showtime is doing an outstanding job of entertaining and teaching English history. Of course, if they had followed the complete facts of history, they would not have had the audience they had." <BR> <BR> A wealth of information <BR> <BR> The facts are known, Weir says, because so much of what happened during the Tudor era was written down by multiple sources, unprecedented documentation for an English dynasty to that point. As a result, historians are continually re-examining the Tudor era in fiction and non-fiction, as are screenwriters for series like The Tudors or movies like Cate Blanchett's two Elizabeth films and Natalie Portman/Scarlett Johansson's The Other Boleyn Girl. <BR> <BR> No other dynasty in history could draw a TV audience like the Tudors, with the possible exception of the ancient Romans (and even HBO's Rome lasted only two seasons), says Steve Donoghue, managing editor of Open Letters Monthly, an online arts and literature review, who has written regular essays following the action on The Tudors. <BR> <BR> "Go into any bookstore and piles of Tudor books will be on a front table, not tucked away back in the history section," Donoghue says. "They're not there for a lark — they know Tudors are going to sell. A book about the (French dynasty) Bourbons, I guarantee it won't be on that table." <BR> <BR> The Tudors matter because they ushered in a new era in England, says screenwriter Michael Hirst, who has become an expert after writing every episode of The Tudors plus the two Elizabeth movies. "The whole culture of England was turned on its head," he says. "The Tudors shaped England as a culture and society more fundamentally than any dynasty or king before." <BR> <BR> But Henry wasn't the first king to divorce his wife, nor the first to kill his wife, nor the first to war with the Catholic Church and the pope, literally as well as spiritually. And great as Elizabeth might have been, she also had the Tudor talent for propaganda — they were the first spinmeisters — and was shameless in flogging her own glory. <BR> <BR> "They have become not merely famous but posthumous stars in the 21st-century firmament of celebrity ... their names synonymous with greatness, with glory," writes author G.J. Meyer, author of a new book, The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty. <BR> <BR> In an interview he says, "We should be aware that neither Henry nor Elizabeth were as glorious as they are commonly depicted — they were ruthless killers." <BR> <BR> So why are we Tudor junkies? <BR> <BR> Maybe, says Hirst, it's because they seem so much like ... us. "You can almost say that they're the first modern rulers," Hirst says. "England was moving irrevocably from a medieval society to a modern one. The Tudors were on the cusp, we can identify with them, we know what they're talking about." <BR> <BR> And it's not just Westerners who obsess over the Tudors, says novelist Philippa Gregory, author of The Other Boleyn Girl, who has written a series of novels about Tudor figures. "My books have been published in places, such as Japan and Korea, where I think people would not be interested in the Tudors," says Gregory. <BR> <BR> "But that's an illusion, because (the Tudor legacy) is about how someone behaves when he has total power, (about Henry's) sense that he could do anything and how he behaves toward women. It's a striking story for women, who identify with his wives." <BR> <BR> Purists, as usual, are shocked at some of the inaccuracies in The Tudors, and it's a frequent topic on Tudor blogs. Plus, it took some getting used to Rhys Meyers as the Welsh-English Henry given that he's not a redhead, he's not fat and he's not English. As envisioned by Hirst, it's a portrait illuminated by the latest scholarship and spiced by modern notions of what sells on TV (lots of sex and frontal nudity). <BR> <BR> In the end, Rhys Meyers' Henry is at least as plausible as that of predecessors such as Eric Bana, Keith Michell, Ray Winstone and Charles Laughton. <BR> <BR> Some plot points seem unbelievable but are true, such as Henry's period of grieving following the death of Wife No. 3, Jane Seymour, when he's so nuts he thinks he can rewrite the Ten Commandments. Hirst says he picked that up from a footnote in the research. "There is so much brilliant, dramatic, rich, unbelievable material, you find yourself saying, he didn't do that, did he?' " he says. <BR> <BR> S.J. Parris, author of a new thriller set in the Tudor era, Heresy, wrote on TheHuffington Post recently that the enduring appeal of the Tudors is the way the clan seems to "encompass every human passion on a grandiose scale." <BR> <BR> "The Tudors let it all hang out," she writes. "They have tantrums, they lust after people they shouldn't have, they betray lovers, siblings, sons and daughters, they wreak revenge on those who stand in their way, and above all, they love fiercely. <BR> <BR> "They remind us what it means to live." <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2010-04-08-tudors08_CV_N.htm"><u>http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2010-04-08-tudors08_CV_N.htm</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="029"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3425<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0301" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("030","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0302" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("030","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#030" name="030"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 08.04.10 23:25. Заголовок: Jonathan Rhys Meyers.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Jonathan Rhys Meyers is best known for his role as Henry VIII in the Showtime series The Tudors. Henry VIII was of course a rotund drunken womanizer while Meyers is a very thin, pretty drunken Irishman whose womanizing status is up to question. (He has a longterm girlfriend and we don’t hear much about him picking up women.) <BR> <BR> Meyers has a new interview with Parade in light of the fourth and final season of The Tudors, which starts airing April 11. He says he’s ready for the next chapter in his life but that he loved the role and his work on the show. He also comes across as vain and completely unapologetic about it. Meyers wasn’t about to sacrifice those razor sharp features and tight abs for a role and says he couldn’t be bothered to gain weight in order to portray Henry VII later in his life. <BR> <BR> On not gaining weight to portray Henry VII <BR> “He was a lot heavier and taller than I am, but so what? I think I’d have been stupid to put on a fat suit and I wasn’t about to gain a lot weight. But I think Henry was better looking than he was portrayed in the classic portrait by Hans Holbein. I think he would have hated it. It may be great art, but it’s not a good picture. I’ve seen fat, ugly pictures of Brad Pitt because some paparazzi got him from a bad angle on a bad morning. So how would he feel if that were the sole image of him that would be seen by future generations? He’d be going, ‘What the hell? I was a great looking guy.’”… <BR> <BR> As for getting passionate on the set. <BR> “Actually, it’s not unpleasant to get it on with beautiful actresses and you don’t have any nasty repercussions afterward. To make it work, you have to experience a little sexual chemistry. But it can be a bit taxing when you’re doing sex scenes in front of a crew of like a hundred people under hot lights with cameras poking into all sorts of private areas.” <BR> <BR> Go ahead and call him a hot hunk. <BR> “I’d rather people think I’m sexy than not. Let’s be honest. Physicality is going to have a bearing on the parts you get. And if you think differently, you’re in the wrong business.” <BR> <BR> [From Parade] <BR> <BR> I love how Meyers justifies not gaining weight for a role by saying that a portrait artist just got Henry VII at a bad angle! The guy was obese as an older man, but Meyers didn’t even want to wear a fat suit to portray him. He just can’t not look pretty. He does do that exceptionally well, you have to give that to him. As much as Meyers was criticized for not physically embodying the legend of Henry VII, he was also praised for making the monarch so damn sexy. One journalist even called him “lickable.” <BR> <BR> It looks like there’s plenty of male eye candy on this show. I just discovered another actor that’s arguably more attractive than Meyers - a guy named Henry Cavill who plays Henry VII’s brother in law Charles Brandon. That Brandon guy also looked nothing like the beefcake Cavill, below. Who really cares, though, when you get to stare at hotties like these? <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://panditrealm.co.cc/2010/04/08/jonathan-rhys-meyers-refused-to-get-fat-or-wear-a-fat-suit-for-henry-viii-role/"><u>http://panditrealm.co.cc/2010/04/08/jonathan-rhys-meyers-refused-to-get-fat-or-wear-a-fat-suit-for-henry-viii-role/</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="030"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3426<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0311" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("031","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0312" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("031","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#031" name="031"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 08.04.10 23:26.

Заголовок: Seducing another man.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Seducing another man's wife is often risky business, but making a play for King Henry VIII's adored teenage bride, well, that's bound to end with both lovers' heads on the chopping block. <BR> <BR> That possible scenario didn't stop Thomas Culpepper, one of the king's grooms, who befriends and then beds the naive young Katherine Howard in the fourth and final season of Showtime's hit costume drama "The Tudors," which launches its last 10 episodes beginning Sunday. And that's after he rapes a peasant woman and kills her aggrieved husband. <BR> <BR> "He has no redeeming features at all," series creator and writer Michael Hirst said recently from London. "Lots of other characters in the show have a dark side, but he's a total villain, which makes him sort of enthralling." <BR> <BR> Though the series has had its share of virtuous characters, such as Henry's first wife, the devout Katherine of Aragon, and beloved religious leader Sir Thomas More, it's the sinners who have propelled much of the action and helped draw in 2.3 million viewers last season. <BR> <BR> "It's fun to watch people who create chaos," Hirst said. "They're charismatic but unstable and unpredictable." <BR> <BR> There's been a veritable rogue's gallery of schemers, liars and all-around heels in the series, including home-wrecker extraordinaire Anne Boleyn; her pimp-father Thomas Boleyn; assassin-for-hire Sir Francis Bryan; and brutal reformer Thomas Cromwell. In the upcoming season, Culpepper (played by Torrance Coombs) takes his place among the worst of the worst, as does the Earl of Surrey, who tries to overthrow King Henry. (It ends badly for him, naturally). <BR> <BR> "Villains are always more complicated psychologically and emotionally than the good characters," said Karen Tongson, professor of English and gender studies at USC. "You want to figure out what drives these rich and thick, gnarly personalities. They're strangely alluring." <BR> <BR> On top of that list is Henry himself, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who devolved during his 16th century reign into "a tyrant and a monster," Hirst said, but one who has fascinated fans of the steamy period soap opera. It probably doesn't hurt that this chiseled Henry, played by a two-time Golden Globe nominee, looks like he just stepped out of a designer jeans commercial. (He did). <BR> <BR> Rhys Meyers said he sees Henry as "a very complicated and egotistical man" who slaughtered 70,000 of his own subjects, beheaded wives and executed even close friends on a whim. In the new season, he starts a war with France just because he's having a midlife crisis, and being in battle invigorates him. <BR> <BR> "People were disposable to him," Rhys Meyers said. And even though the king is shown to be consumed with regret by the end of the series, "there's no redemption for the devil," he said. <BR> <BR> That kind of anti-hero is right at home on Showtime, where series based on borderline or full-blown sociopaths have become the pay cable network's bread and butter. "Weeds," "Dexter" and "Nurse Jackie" all center on dynamic figures who are written to repulse and compel at the same time. <BR> <BR> "Audiences have embraced these willful, flawed central characters who don't do the right thing and don't ask for forgiveness," said Bob Greenblatt, Showtime's president of entertainment. "But viewers still have to care about these characters and root for them." <BR> <BR> One of Hirst's goals for "The Tudors" was to dispel some myths about such people as Boleyn and Cromwell, who have had a lot of bad press over the years. "I wanted to undermine the clichés," Hirst said, while not overlooking the killings, betrayals, tortures and manipulations that are undeniably part of the characters' résumés. <BR> <BR> History provided plenty of villains from the Tudor era, Hirst said, and he used their exploits to help the series resonate with contemporary audiences, taking them "out of the museum and showing them as human beings." <BR> <BR> Alan Van Sprang, as Henry's drinking buddy and mercenary Sir Francis Bryan, played the baddie with relish -- aided greatly by an eye patch -- because he saw evil as the predominant force in "The Tudors." "You couldn't be a hero in King Henry's court," he said. "If you tried, you'd be executed immediately. That would be the end of your heroism." <BR> <BR> Van Sprang's Bryan was responsible for one of the most cringe-worthy scenes of Season 3, in which he purposely got the executioner drunk the night before Cromwell's beheading. As a result, the barely standing hatchet man sawed away at Cromwell's head until someone else had to step in to finish the job. "If people didn't hate Sir Francis before that," he said, "they certainly did after." <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-tudors9-2010apr09"><u>http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-tudors9-2010apr09</u></a>,0,5540881.story?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter<BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="033"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3430<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0341" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("034","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0342" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("034","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#034" name="034"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 09.04.10 23:02. Заголовок: In the fourth and fi.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>In the fourth and final season of "The Tudors," we learn Henry VIII's all-purpose cure for whatever ails you: jail bait. <BR> <BR> At times, the opening night of season four gets almost that silly, though at other times it returns to its strongest suit, which is illustrating 1) the coexistence of powerful, conflicting forces inside the same person, and 2) the idea that absolute power corrupts. <BR> <BR> The character who proves both those points is Henry VIII himself, portrayed with fierce and often scary determination by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. <BR> <BR> As his reign unfolds, he makes moves, such as launching the Reformation in England, that would shape Western civilization for centuries. <BR> <BR> He also becomes increasingly capricious, unfaithful and nasty, not to mention murderous. All this roughly parallels the ever-growing self-absorption that becomes too tempting for an absolute monarch to whom almost everyone gives total, unquestioning obedience. <BR> <BR> Nor does it help that he is gaining weight - though you wouldn't necessarily know it to look at Rhys Meyers - which accelerates a physical debilitation that makes him even crankier. <BR> <BR> As we pick up the story, in the sweltering summer of 1540, Henry has had his fourth marriage, to Anne of Cleves, nullified. <BR> <BR> Because he can. <BR> <BR> Meanwhile, he has noticed Catherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant). She's reported here to be 17, though she acts more like 13, and flirts like 16. Soon, she is wife No. 5. <BR> <BR> The 16th century didn't really regard 17 as jail bait, of course, and Henry claims to find great restorative powers in young blood. <BR> <BR> Catherine, however, would be mostly annoying even if she were 67, and she spends way too much time telegraphing missteps serious enough that even her, uh, charms may not be enough to protect her from Henry's, uh, mood swings. <BR> <BR> Meanwhile, palace, countrywide and international intrigue continue to swirl, and it doesn't help that Henry sees traitors behind every whisper and French ambition in every field report. <BR> <BR> All this has become a little harder to follow as the series has moved along and subordinate characters have been herded in and out. Still, Henry is so dominant that any viewer who follows him can absorb much of the rest. <BR> <BR> The fourth season will carry him to his death in 1547 - though the Tudors would continue to reign into the next century in the person of his daughter Elizabeth. <BR> <BR> In any case, don't count on many of these folks living happily ever after. Anyone who saw "The Tudors" as a costume drama lost that illusion a couple of seasons ago - and the ugly brutality of British life and aristocratic privilege in the time of the Tudors shows no signs of abating as we watch Henry head into the last turn. <BR> <BR> Read more: <a target=_blank href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/04/09/2010-04-09_teen_girl_gets_a_private_tudor.html#ixzz0kdRXnV78"><u>http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/04/09/2010-04-09_teen_girl_gets_a_private_tudor.html#ixzz0kdRXnV78</u></a> <BR> <BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="034"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3431<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0351" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("035","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0352" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("035","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#035" name="035"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 09.04.10 23:03.

Заголовок: PREMIERES: The fou.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR> <BR> <BR> PREMIERES: The fourth and final season debuts on Sunday, April 11 at 9pm on Showtime. Only two more queens to go! <BR> <BR> WHY YOU MIGHT LIKE IT: As far as crazy rulers go, Henry VIII is definitely up there—and if history has taught us anything, it's that crazy people always make for entertaining television. So if you like watching impulsive monarchs change the course of history forever, tune in. The show's writers deftly weave an intense drama out of the complex relationships within the Tudor court and the kingdom's role in 16th-century Europe. The show's unexpected casting has made for some great performances, with Sam Neill as a discerning Thomas Wolsey, Peter O'Toole as an exceptionally irreverent Pope Paul III, and even Joss Stone as a German-accented Anne of Cleeves. Plus, it's hard not to get a big kick out of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII, because if you’ve ever seen that Hans Holbein portrait of ol' Hank, you’ll likely agree that looks-wise, he could have been played by, say, Simon Pegg. That said, it's impossible not to get drawn into Meyers' emotional performance—especially when he flashes his crazy eyes. <BR> <BR> WHY YOU MIGHT HATE IT: If you’re a stickler for absolute historical accuracy, this show is not for you. The writers have taken liberties with both the historical timeline and characters who populate it in order to create a more compelling, twist-filled, and sexed-up period piece. Filled with tyranny, sappy sex scenes, English accents, beheadings, and harpsichords, The Tudors takes itself very seriously; you won't find any self-deprecating humor here. Avoid the show if you have a hard time believing that everyone back then had such good teeth. <BR> <BR> THE PREMISE: Like Rome, The Tudors is historical drama series. While the show focuses mostly on the personal life of the very impulsive and arrogant Henry VIII, it also takes an in-depth look at the king's political advances and downfalls, the rise of the Church of England, the spread of Protestantism, the Pilgrimage of Grace, and the ongoing battles between England and its neighboring empires. <BR> <BR> WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Well, there are a lot of characters and plotlines to track, so here's the very abridged version. Henry divorced his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, because she gave birth only to a daughter (Mary) and not a male heir. Plus, the king had already fallen in love with Anne Boleyn. With the help of Chancellor Thomas Wolsey (who eventually fell out favor) the king tried to receive the pope's consent to divorce Catherine, but was eventually denied. As a result, he separated from the Roman Church, declared himself king of the Church of England, and married Anne. Many people found the marriage reprehensible, including Thomas More, (author of Utopia) who was eventually beheaded for not attending the queen's coronation and not supporting the king's break from the Catholic church. Like Henry's first wife Catherine, Anne was only able to birth a girl (who eventually became Queen Elizabeth I), which didn't fulfill Henry's quest for a male heir—so he started courting Jane Seymour. Before long, Henry had Anne Boleyn beheaded for high treason; then he married Jane, and she gave birth to Edward VI. Jane died not long after, leaving Henry devastated. Under the advice of chief minister Thomas Cromwell, Henry married Anne of Cleves to create a stronger alliance with Germany. But Henry wasn't jazzed about Anne's appearance, and resented Cromwell for his advice. Once Henry learned of Cromwell's heretical devotion to Protestantism, Henry had Cromwell beheaded for treason. When we last saw the king, he was courting the 17-year-old Catherine Howard and annulling his marriage to Anne of Cleves. Which makes young Catherine queen number five. <BR> <BR> At the start of Season 4, a jousting injury has caused Henry to gain an exceptional amount of weight, and his health is in decline. The thought of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as an unattractive man is incentive alone to watch. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.tv.com/show-101-the-tudors/story/22185.html"><u>http://www.tv.com/show-101-the-tudors/story/22185.html</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="036"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3441<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0371" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("037","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0372" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("037","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#037" name="037"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 10.04.10 12:33. Заголовок: LOS ANGELES (Reuters.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – He might have been just another young Hollywood actor on the rise, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers chose to become a king -- on TV. And doing so, the actor said, changed his life. <BR> <BR> Four years ago, Rhys Meyers was coming off an Emmy nomination and a Golden Globe win for playing Elvis Presley, and he had wowed audiences in Woody Allen's "Match Point" and worked opposite Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible III." <BR> <BR> He was among the hottest young actors in Hollywood, but the Irish-born Rhys Meyers traded his Tinseltown calling card to move to play King Henry VIII in Showtime drama "The Tudors." Initially, Rhys Meyers thought the role might last only a year. He was wrong. <BR> <BR> The show debuts its fourth and final season on Sunday, as King Henry, by now in his late 40s, battles illness, takes his country to battle and, of course, marries and remarries. <BR> <BR> The role has earned Rhys Meyers two Golden Globe nominations, and while he told Reuters it is now time to move on, he also said the part made him a wiser and better actor. <BR> <BR> "I've changed. My concepts have changed. Everything I've done up until now has been an apprenticeship," he said. "Now, I think, at 32 years old, I've garnered enough experience to know what I don't want. Now, I know what I do want." <BR> <BR> What Rhys Meyers wants, he said, is to work with directors who will challenge him, confront him when he's not getting a role right, and always push him to be a better actor. <BR> <BR> He said directors with whom he has worked in the past, such as Allen, Ang Lee and Robert Altman, have done just that, and the role of King Henry has only strengthened his abilities because of the many facets of the character. <BR> <BR> Henry VIII reigned from 1509, when he was a teenager, until his death in 1547, at age 55. He was the second ruler from the House of Tudor, and his time on the throne was marked by the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church and by his six marriages. <BR> <BR> "The Tudors" has covered it all, with Rhys Meyers portraying the English monarch from youth to middle age. The fourth season picks up with his marriage to a young Katherine Howard and sees him through his final years as he becomes obese, ill and an increasingly cruel ruler. <BR> <BR> But Rhys Meyers reckons there was always a method to King Henry's madness, and learning how to tap into the monarch's manipulative nature has helped improve his own acting skills. <BR> <BR> "I must psychologically put everybody on edge...that is an art, and I've had to learn that over time." he said. "And as he gets older, you see more of the internal struggle inside him." <BR> <BR> As Rhys Meyers looks at his own career, he views the past 14 years as little more than an apprenticeship in acting, and believes the next 20 years will bring some of his best work. <BR> <BR> He looks at painters and other artists in their middle ages as examples and says that with age comes experience and maturity that ideally leads to excellence. <BR> <BR> The king is dead, long live Rhys Meyers. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100410/people_nm/us_rhysmeyers"><u>http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100410/people_nm/us_rhysmeyers</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="037"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3450<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0381" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("038","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0382" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("038","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#038" name="038"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 12.04.10 23:04.

Oh no, the 16th-century English king and his Tudor clan are never going away, or so it seems from the torrent of Tudor content that pours into contemporary culture: in best-selling books and award-winning movies, flashy TV series and catchy advertising, in songs, plays and operas, in videos on YouTube, discussion groups on Facebook, and about a half-million websites on the Internet. <BR> <BR> "Henry VIII and his court are like celebrities, like Brad and Jennifer and Angelina," says Claire Ridgway, who runs TheAnneBoleynFiles.com, a U.K. website that attracts fans of Henry's second wife. "We're hooked on the crazy private lives of these Tudor characters." <BR> <BR> PHOTOS: Meet the cast of 'The Tudors' <BR> TRAILER: See a preview of the new season <BR> TUDOR MANIA: It's a media obsession <BR> <BR> Crazy, and hooked, indeed. Henry VIII is perhaps the most famous/infamous king in the history of kings — and Americans, especially, can't get enough of him and his descendants. People even eat like Tudors. Look up Henry VIII's diet and follow it, if you dare. It was probably one of the things that helped send him to his richly deserved death, at 55, not long after beheading Wife No. 5 and marrying Wife No. 6. <BR> <BR> Now, with the return Sunday of Showtime's The Tudors for its fourth and final season, Henry's demise approaches as the sex-and-violence-and-history soap opera winds down. This season will cover the fate of Henry's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) fifth wife, pathetic teenager Katherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant), and move on to his final wife, the older, steadier Catherine Parr (Joely Richardson), who nursed him and survived him. We don't actually see him die; the king's bloated, smelly corpse will be carted off stage, and that will be that. We won't get to hear the riveting details of what happens to the other Tudors — his three children, who reigned in turn as Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. <BR> <BR> "People are upset the show is ending — and why end with Henry? Why not go on to Elizabeth, who was one of the best monarchs?" asks Anne Rodill, mistress of a fan blog, TudorsOnline.com, which she says can draw up to 75,000 visitors a week during the show's season. <BR> <BR> But it turns out The Tudors didn't need all the Tudors, having managed to captivate a respectable audience (averaging a little less than 1 million viewers for its Sunday premieres) for three years with a lavish retelling of the familiar tale of one particular Tudor: the matrimonially challenged Henry VIII. <BR> <BR> Ridgway says The Tudors is popular because it's all about sensory overload. "It's packed full of beautiful people, wonderful sets, exquisite jewelry and costumes," she says. "It has all of the ingredients of a good soap opera: goodies, baddies, romance, sex, violence, family dynasty, birth, death, murder, passion, betrayal, infidelity, hatred, suspense and cliffhangers. But it's a true story." <BR> <BR> Well, mostly true; some license has been taken for purposes of clarity. <BR> <BR> "The story is so dramatic, you couldn't make it up," says British historian and novelist Alison Weir (her latest book is The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn), who objects to inaccuracies in The Tudors but acknowledges she has watched it as "gripping drama." <BR> <BR> 'An evil, evil man' <BR> <BR> As The Tudors extravagantly detailed, Henry, in desperate need of a male heir, married six women and executed two of them, chopping off their heads. He crushed one church and invented a new one with himself as head. He tortured and killed scores of innocents, confiscated his subjects' land, and generally tyrannized his island kingdom for decades in the early 16th century. As played by Irish actor Rhys Meyers, 32, Henry is the ultimate self-absorbed blowhard, deteriorating from youthful beauty and grace into declining health and mounting megalomania, culminating in murderous malevolence. <BR> <BR> "An evil, evil man," says self-described "royalist" Dean McKinnon, 62, a travel-industry analyst in Dallas. "I can't wait until Season 4. Showtime is doing an outstanding job of entertaining and teaching English history. Of course, if they had followed the complete facts of history, they would not have had the audience they had." <BR> <BR> A wealth of information <BR> <BR> The facts are known, Weir says, because so much of what happened during the Tudor era was written down by multiple sources, unprecedented documentation for an English dynasty to that point. As a result, historians are continually re-examining the Tudor era in fiction and non-fiction, as are screenwriters for series like The Tudors or movies like Cate Blanchett's two Elizabeth films and Natalie Portman/Scarlett Johansson's The Other Boleyn Girl. <BR> <BR> No other dynasty in history could draw a TV audience like the Tudors, with the possible exception of the ancient Romans (and even HBO's Rome lasted only two seasons), says Steve Donoghue, managing editor of Open Letters Monthly, an online arts and literature review, who has written regular essays following the action on The Tudors. <BR> <BR> "Go into any bookstore and piles of Tudor books will be on a front table, not tucked away back in the history section," Donoghue says. "They're not there for a lark — they know Tudors are going to sell. A book about the (French dynasty) Bourbons, I guarantee it won't be on that table." <BR> <BR> The Tudors matter because they ushered in a new era in England, says screenwriter Michael Hirst, who has become an expert after writing every episode of The Tudors plus the two Elizabeth movies. "The whole culture of England was turned on its head," he says. "The Tudors shaped England as a culture and society more fundamentally than any dynasty or king before." <BR> <BR> But Henry wasn't the first king to divorce his wife, nor the first to kill his wife, nor the first to war with the Catholic Church and the pope, literally as well as spiritually. And great as Elizabeth might have been, she also had the Tudor talent for propaganda — they were the first spinmeisters — and was shameless in flogging her own glory. <BR> <BR> "They have become not merely famous but posthumous stars in the 21st-century firmament of celebrity ... their names synonymous with greatness, with glory," writes author G.J. Meyer, author of a new book, The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty. <BR> <BR> In an interview he says, "We should be aware that neither Henry nor Elizabeth were as glorious as they are commonly depicted — they were ruthless killers." <BR> <BR> So why are we Tudor junkies? <BR> <BR> Maybe, says Hirst, it's because they seem so much like ... us. "You can almost say that they're the first modern rulers," Hirst says. "England was moving irrevocably from a medieval society to a modern one. The Tudors were on the cusp, we can identify with them, we know what they're talking about." <BR> <BR> And it's not just Westerners who obsess over the Tudors, says novelist Philippa Gregory, author of The Other Boleyn Girl, who has written a series of novels about Tudor figures. "My books have been published in places, such as Japan and Korea, where I think people would not be interested in the Tudors," says Gregory. <BR> <BR> "But that's an illusion, because (the Tudor legacy) is about how someone behaves when he has total power, (about Henry's) sense that he could do anything and how he behaves toward women. It's a striking story for women, who identify with his wives." <BR> <BR> Tweaked for modern times <BR> <BR> Purists, as usual, are shocked at some of the inaccuracies in The Tudors, and it's a frequent topic on Tudor blogs. Plus, it took some getting used to Rhys Meyers as the Welsh-English Henry given that he's not a redhead, he's not fat and he's not English. As envisioned by Hirst, it's a portrait illuminated by the latest scholarship and spiced by modern notions of what sells on TV (lots of sex and frontal nudity). <BR> <BR> In the end, Rhys Meyers' Henry is at least as plausible as that of predecessors such as Eric Bana, Keith Michell, Ray Winstone and Charles Laughton. <BR> <BR> Some plot points seem unbelievable but are true, such as Henry's period of grieving following the death of Wife No. 3, Jane Seymour, when he's so nuts he thinks he can rewrite the Ten Commandments. Hirst says he picked that up from a footnote in the research. "There is so much brilliant, dramatic, rich, unbelievable material, you find yourself saying, he didn't do that, did he?' " he says. <BR> <BR> S.J. Parris, author of a new thriller set in the Tudor era, Heresy, wrote on TheHuffington Post recently that the enduring appeal of the Tudors is the way the clan seems to "encompass every human passion on a grandiose scale." <BR> <BR> "The Tudors let it all hang out," she writes. "They have tantrums, they lust after people they shouldn't have, they betray lovers, siblings, sons and daughters, they wreak revenge on those who stand in their way, and above all, they love fiercely. <BR> <BR> "They remind us what it means to live." <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2010-04-08-tudors08_CV_N.htm"><u>http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2010-04-08-tudors08_CV_N.htm</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="038"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3453<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0391" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("039","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0392" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("039","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#039" name="039"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 14.04.10 07:12. Заголовок: Интервью с Джонатано.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Интервью с Джонатаном <BR> Illicit affairs, political intrigue and a teen vixen are in the royal mix when 'The Tudors' returns to Showtime tonight at 9PM ET for its fourth and final season. <BR> <BR> The show, which depicts the history and personal life of King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) in lurid detail, begins season 4 just as the king has married his fifth wife, the 17-year-old Katherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant). Lacking royal lineage and prone to the type of behavior befitting girls her age, Howard's poor behavior catches up with her, and her eventual execution leaves the King to marry for a sixth and final time. <BR> <BR> His next queen is Catherine Parr [Joely Richardson], a much more mature woman than her predecessor. As Henry enters his mid-40s, he becomes more unpredictable, ruling with an iron fist and picking fights with other countries more out of a mid-life crisis than a desire to expand his rule. <BR> <BR> Just ahead of the season 4 premiere, 'Tudors' creator and writer Michael Hirst chatted with AOL TV about his experience working with Meyers, his "mourning" for the show and what he'll be doing next. <BR> <BR> What was it like working on the final season, and what has the transition been like since it wrapped? <BR> It was many things, the final series for me. It was great to know that we could actually finish [the show] in the way that we wanted to finish it, because from year to year you never know whether the thing's going to be picked up, or whether you're going to be able to do what you originally intended to do. So, it was fantastic when it was picked up, and it was fantastic to finish it properly and tell the whole story of Henry VIII ... And then it was pretty unendurable to write the last episode, because I felt I was dealing with the deaths of lots of my favorite characters, and leaving behind a whole world that I'd lived in for five years. The last episode was, physically, quite difficult to write, and very emotional. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> Why did you choose to structure the seasons the way you did, and end it after four seasons? <BR> It was organic because the first couple of seasons had dealt with [former queen] Catherine of Aragon and then [Queen] Anne Boleyn. It took a long time for Henry to deal with the end of his relationship w Catherine of Aragon, and when he actually got married to Anne Boleyn, Henry and Catherine Parrit wasn't long before he killed her. After that, the wives came along pretty thick and fast, so it was actually concentrated history. So I had a much shorter historical period to deal with. Each wife was only taking up two historical years as opposed to six or eight initially ... I just came to the end of his wives. <BR> <BR> I wasn't so interested in his ending, I was always interested in his relationships with women because 'The Tudors' is really a kind of extended essay on love in some ways, and different kinds of love he had with his wives and mistresses. Once I got to his last wife, Catherine Parr, I'd almost reached the end of the story. It was just a natural place to end it. <BR> <BR> Where do we pick up with Henry and what's his arc for this season? <BR> There's no question about it that Henry becomes a complete tyrant, a murderer. When we pick up at the beginning of the series, he's going to marry Katherine Howard, who's ... 17, and who briefly rejuvenates him. He was getting very cynical. He had probably fallen out of the idea of love, and he was probably impotent. The relationship with [former queen] Anne of Cleves (Joss Stone) had been disastrous. <BR> <BR> Katherine HowardHe wasn't aware of how manipulative his courtiers were in producing this young girl, Katherine Howard, for him to enjoy. But for a while he was kind of fooling himself, pretending to be young again. And he does two things: He falls in love with Katherine Howard and he also goes to war with France. Two things which suggest a mid-life crisis. He doesn't buy a red Ferrari ... He's probably clever enough to know that the relationship with Katherine Howard isn't real -- he's in denial. And in fact, the war with France is a similar thing. ... Six years later, he's going to sell [the conquered town] to the French ... <BR> <BR> He really is getting unhinged by now. And because he's killed Cromwell, his last great servant [who was executed in season 3], it's like the ship's status is foundering. Nobody knows what he's going to do ... who he's going to kill. I think even Henry doesn't know that. <BR> <BR> Season 4 also reveals a little bit Henry's isolation, such as when he meets again with Anne of Cleves. <BR> This is Henry VIII the human being, as opposed to the king. As a human being, I think he knew perfectly well that Katherine Howard was unsuitable for him. But he recognized that his immediate reaction to Anne of Cleves had been wrong. When she changed -- she became very Anglified -- [he realized] he totally overreacted to her, and that she's a much more appropriate woman for him. That's very human that he would go back [and see her] ... One of the things, hopefully, that 'The Tudors' is full of, is human moments as well as historical ones. <BR> <BR> Has your work on the show affected your perspectives on modern power and manhood? <BR> What studying history tells you of course is that what goes around comes around, and that history continuously repeats itself. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. So, ultimately, Henry is a monster. But the interesting thing I think about the show is that still right at the end, you can feel great sympathy for him. When you remember where he started from, how much he wanted to be an enlightened monarch, how much he wanted to reform the system, how much he wanted to be a just ruler. And then during the course of the four seasons, we've seen how all those dreams have been destroyed and corrupted and corroded. And in the end, he's almost mad in his tyranny. It reminds you slightly of any leader you've put your faith in -- it's almost impossible for them to produce what they've promised. <BR> <BR> What were some of the specific challenges you faced in the making of season, as well as some of the goals? <BR> It was very difficult to approach the end, even though I had some idea of how I wanted to end it. I had the culmination of four years of living with this guy [Henry], and I wanted to say things about him. The easiest thing would have been for me to kill him off -- and there would have been some cheap emotion. I didn't want to do that, but I did want to say something about both him as a man, and about his place in history. Occasionally I've been criticized for my portrayal of him. I wanted to make the point that even historians make it up. I knew that with the last couple of episodes, I was approaching this juncture, between what I'd been developing and writing, and what historians had said. So the last episode, I had to confront these things. I couldn't run away from the fact that this is my Henry VIII. <BR> <BR> Jonathan Rhys MeyersDo you believe you achieved what you set out to do? <BR> I do. The last day of shooting, we shot this visionary scene, where Henry imagines himself dying, and the scene of what he sees when he faces death. And Johnny [Jonathan Rhys Meyers], who'd by this stage aged a lot -- we'd changed his appearance quite a bit -- and in this vision right at the end, he becomes young again. We were all watching, and we had a very special set. It was outside in a tunnel of trees, and we had wind machines and leaves and white horses ... it was a hyper-tense, beautiful set. And just to look on the monitor, and see Johnny as the young man as we'd first seen him, was so incredibly moving, as if we'd come full circle. I did try hold it together, but I did break down when I [saw] Johnny. This guy has held the show together for four years. <BR> <BR> Did Meyers have feedback for you throughout that process? <BR> I talked a lot more to a lot of the other actors. A lot of them were more intellectual, where they'd read more history books. Johnny knew his stuff, but he wasn't interested particularly in the historical [perspective], it was more the immediacy of it ... We had emotional discussions about things. He's very instinctive as an actor. <BR> <BR> Are you ready to move on from 'The Tudors'? <BR> There's a sort of mourning period [afterward]. <BR> <BR> And what are you looking to do next? <BR> I'm doing 'The Borgias' for Showtime, which is the next big, historically based Showtime series. We're shooting that in Hungary. Neil Jordan's directing, has written the first two episodes, and I'm taking over as show runner, and possibly writing the [remaining] episodes. I never meant in a position of writing all the episodes for 'The Tudors,' it just worked out that way ... I'm an adviser on 'Camelot,' and I'm working with Michael Mann on a movie about Agincourt, so I'm quite busy. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://insidetv.aol.com/2010/04/11/the-tudors-season-4-mid-life-crisis-illicit-affairs-and-the/"><u>http://insidetv.aol.com/2010/04/11/the-tudors-season-4-mid-life-crisis-illicit-affairs-and-the/</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="039"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3458<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0401" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("040","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0402" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("040","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#040" name="040"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 16.04.10 23:29.

I think where I am now is a direct result of all the work that I have done and all the difficulties that I have had to push through to get to the place where I am at 32 years old. Now I can sort of look back reflectively on that time, which also gave me great strength." <BR> <BR> He says the films he took during his hiatuses from "The Tudors" often were selected more for their shooting schedule than for the inherent quality of the material, something he wants to avoid in the future. <BR> <BR> "I finished 'The Tudors' and went straight the next day into costume tests for 'From Paris With Love,'" Rhys Meyers says. "When you're young, it's important just to work as much as you can, but then you reach a certain point where you have to be a little bit more choosy about what kinds of roles you go for and what actors you work with." <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://blog.zap2it.com/thedishrag/2010/04/the-tudors-jonathan-rhys-meyers-feeling-royally-fit.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter"><u>http://blog.zap2it.com/thedishrag/2010/04/the-tudors-jonathan-rhys-meyers-feeling-royally-fit.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="040"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3466<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0411" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("041","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0412" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("041","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#041" name="041"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 17.04.10 21:15.

This is the only surviving missive of the young queen, Henry VIII’s fifth wife – the second spouse he’d send to the scaffold. (The immortal Anne Boleyn, whose charms sparked The Reformation, was the first.) <BR> <BR> Poor little Katherine, the teenage bride of the bloated and dissipated Henry – she sought other pleasures, perhaps to ensure a pregnancy. By this point, the King’s virility was somewhat compromised. <BR> <BR> Now, if you’re watching Showtime’s "The Tudors," you’ll find Katherine, played by Tamzin Merchant, as a delicious nitwit, and Henry, in the person of Jonathan Rhys Meyers, still pretty hot. They’ve grayed his hair a bit, and he’s not taking his clothes off as much as in previous seasons, but Jonathan is still a royal looker – not at all resembling the heavy Henry of history. (Jonathan works hard at acting older, and he is successfully weary – two divorces, two beheadings and defying the pope takes a lot out of a guy.) <BR> <BR> This is the final season of "The Tudors." I believe it will go right up and through Henry’s final marriage to Catherine Parr, perhaps even to the King’s death. It has been a splendid four seasons, brilliantly acted and magnificently produced, with all the cruel gore and ravishing pageantry of the era. Emmy has basically ignored it. Let’s send them to the block! <BR> <BR> I do wish Showtime would continue "The Tudors." The reign of Henry’s daughter, Mary ("Bloody Mary" to her wary subjects), was fairly brief and not very sexy but full of Catholic vs. Protestant religious fervor. Mary had almost 300 people burned alive. She was Catholic, and felt quite sure she was on the side of the angels. Perhaps St. Peter disabused her of that notion, when her time came? <BR> <BR> And then, of course, there is Elizabeth Regina, the greatest queen in history, the brilliant product of Henry’s union with Anne Boleyn. Like Mama Rose in "Gypsy," this is one role that never palls and never ceases its fascinating pull on the imagination. I’ve enjoyed every incarnation of QE1. Every actress brings something new and exciting, especially Helen Mirren in her award-winning turn several years ago. <BR> <BR> Although, truthfully, you can’t top Bette Davis in tight close-up, declaring, "Arrest my Lord of Essex. Take him to the Tower!" Or mournfully musing, "To be queen is to be less than human … a queen has no hour for love. Time presses and events crowd upon her." <BR> <BR> "The Tudors" could probably live for many more seasons. Think about it, Showtime! <BR> <BR> *** <BR> <BR> THE NEW "Sex and the City" feature film is about to open, and likely it will be as successful as the first. But how long can this go on? <BR> <BR> Glad you asked. I’ve heard that HBO is thinking about bringing "Sex and …" back to the small screen with a few younger characters added to the mix: "Sarah Jessica Parker is interested in a ‘Twilight’-type cast of newbies to mix it up with the more mature gals." <BR> <BR> Hmm … really? For one thing, I don’t think any of the women – Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon or Kristin Davis – want to commit themselves to a series again. Also, the core audience loves the set-up just as it is. The four heroines are older, sure. But they weren’t dewy when the series began; that’s a great part of the appeal. <BR> <BR> Of course, anything is possible, but I doubt a new "Sex and the City" series would have anything like the original’s impact. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.wowowow.com/culture/liz-smith-tudors-bloody-reign-ends-jonathan-rhys-meyers-465908"><u>http://www.wowowow.com/culture/liz-smith-tudors-bloody-reign-ends-jonathan-rhys-meyers-465908</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="041"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR><TD colspan=2 bgcolor="#f99ff" align=center class=font2> <div class=font2><div class='stargate' style='max-height:300px; overflow:hidden;'> <div id="yandex_rtb_R-A-515015-2"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(w, d, n, s, t) { w[n] = w[n] || []; w[n].push(function() { Ya.Context.AdvManager.render({ blockId: "R-A-515015-2", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-515015-2", async: true }); }); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s = d.createElement("script"); s.type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); })(this, this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks"); </script></div></div> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3467<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0421" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("042","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0422" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("042","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#042" name="042"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 19.04.10 23:09. Заголовок: Ah, how much fun i.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR> <BR> <BR> Ah, how much fun is this show now that this little idiot Queen Catherine is on the scene? <BR> <BR> As proven last night, she is a true Tudor-era Girl Gone Wild with her love for girl-on-girl mud fights, dancing wildly around any room she enters, getting naked and covering herself with rose petals, putting on erotic puppet shows, dancing in the rain in a see-through nightgown, and having sex with lots of men. She's loving her life, as it seems like one endless party of new clothes and gaudy jewelry. <BR> <BR> Her Ladies in Waiting are equally ditzy and love to shriek and giggle just as much as their Queen does. It’s like they’re always saying, “Holy crap, girls! Look! We’re, like, rich now or something!” Honestly, what do these women do all day long? However, as the audience has figured out (due to your actual knowledge of history or just your viewing of the 10-second “What’s Coming Up on This Season of the Tudors” spot) poor Catherine is doomed. I think I’m happy about this. <BR> <BR> She’s annoying already and will no doubt get even more annoying as we see lots of her fumbling antics in upcoming episodes. But here’s what I don’t get: Is this girl such an utter fool that she hasn’t figured out that her husband is fond of killing the wives who displease him? Does she really think she can get away with cheating on him and everything is going to be honky-dory? I suppose she does and this only underscores her lack of intelligence. <BR> <BR> The Tudors Scene <BR> <BR> That Lady Rochford is one scheming bitch - and I love it! She was a big fan of Queen Jane Seymour and they had a good time together, Queen Jane having a normal intelligence and all. <BR> <BR> Now Lady Rochford wants no part of this new Queen and seems to be willing to go to great lengths to destroy her. She’s sort of like that mean girl in high school who pretended to be nice to you but was saying and doing horrible things behind your back. She looks at Catherine with a tight smile and barely disguised contempt. And what is up with this Joan Bolmer?! Is she even stupider than Catherine? <BR> <BR> She flounces around giving away big secrets to exactly the people who shouldn’t be told. Now Lady Rochford and Joan Bolmer are in cahoots and working together to get Culpepper to shack up with their Queen. Perhaps Lady Rochford has finally found a friend in this new group of lightweights. <BR> <BR> Let’s chat about Culpepper, this new guy at the center of the action for a moment, shall we? What exactly is his job in the Court? This is unclear to me. I think of him as a “Royal Underling” because he seems to have the crap jobs like finding animals for the Lords to shoot when they’re hunting and such. <BR> <BR> What is clear is that he is equal parts hot and creepy. He has those icy blue eyes and that boyish haircut and you think he’s such a cutie but we know that he is really quite mean and sadistic. I mean, look at that poor redheaded farm woman from last week’s episode. Culpepper has his hombres hold her down while he rapes her and then murders her husband when he demands justice. Don’t you wonder what his friends thought about that whole situation? <BR> <BR> None of them seemed to have any objections to either the rape or the subsequent murder. Culpepper is the Captain of the Smoldering Stare and got a kick out of watching Catherine, his number-one object of desire, do a little dance outside in the rain in a see-through nightgown. Clearly he’s going to do the deed with Catherine but I really wonder what will happen from there. He’s so cruel that I can imagine he’ll throw Catherine under the bus the first chance he gets. But what will happen to him? Will he get in trouble for getting it on with the King’s wife? <BR> <BR> The King still seems smitten with his new honey, at least at this point. He thinks she’s hilarious and charming even when she’s pouting and stomping around like a spoiled child. And, on the topic of the King, isn’t King Henry supposed to be like 300 pounds and totally repulsive at this point in his life? The only changes I see in Jonathan Rhys Meyers from Season 1 to now are that he’s probably 15 pounds heavier and has more fake gray hair. <BR> <BR> Chapuys and Mary <BR> <BR> He also looks grouchy or exhausted more often, but I could just be imagining that. According to history, he was totally vile and that abscess on his leg reeked like a landfill. His wives were said to be repulsed by him. Catherine doesn’t seem repulsed; on the contrary she seems to have an insatiable appetite for him. He’s like, “Whoa! Down, girl!” as she clambers on top of him every ten minutes. With the way this girl screws, how is he yet to figure out she’s no virgin? Clearly Henry will tire of her soon and I am really looking forward to when that all goes down. <BR> <BR> I hope they cut off her super-fake blonde weave, the one she’s always tossing in everyone’s face. <BR> <BR> Now to that poor wretch, the Lady Mary. Is there any more unfortunate character in this whole show? Well, maybe Katherine of Aragon, but let’s not get into that right now. Poor Mary never gets what she wants and she always has to act like she is content with her shitty life. This week when she talked trash to Queen Catherine was really the first time we heard this girl lose her temper. She’s over it. <BR> <BR> Normally she’s always all controlled like, “Oh dear, I feel rage boiling up. I shall go read the Bible and pray until it goes away.” I loved it when she completely called Catherine out on being a moron. She was not going to control herself this time and, really, who can blame her? She has seen her dad go through a slew of wives by now and has learned a thing or two about how his affections work. But Catherine knew how to cut her to the core when she told Mary she is destined to be an old maid. Oh snap! <BR> <BR> Poor Mary - it’s probably true but not her fault in the slightest! Remember that poor guy from last season who she really liked? I knew that moment of sweet little puppy love was doomed but I so hoped for her that it would work out. For once she was actually happy. <BR> <BR> Finally, I want to beg the stylists of this show to make one important change: For God’s sake, shave off Charles Brandon’s beard! He is arguably the most handsome guy on this show and his hotness is being completely hidden by this new pirate-y look. Ugh, it’s terrible and must go. Maybe the writers can add in a side bit about a scourge of lice at the palace and then he’ll have to shave it off? That could work! <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.tvfanatic.com/2010/04/the-tudors-review-402/"><u>http://www.tvfanatic.com/2010/04/the-tudors-review-402/</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="042"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3479<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0431" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("043","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0432" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("043","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#043" name="043"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 29.04.10 22:42. Заголовок: HOLLYWOOD —Jo.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>HOLLYWOOD —Joss Stone returned to “The Tudors” on Sunday night as King Henry’s divorced fourth wife Anne of Cleaves. Stone sent shock waves throughout the industry last season with a portrayal of the heartbroken ex-wife of Henry the VIII. The actress is absolutely beautiful and superbly talented as an actress. Her scenes with Jonathan Rhys Meyers crackled with anticipation and excitement, as the demented older king is about to embark on a possible affair with the woman he once said, “Looks like a horse!” and proclaimed most famously in history books, “I like her not!” The German born wife of Henry Tudor in history remained close to the king, the court, and his daughters Princess Mary and Princess Elizabeth. <BR> <BR> tudors4_800x600_2.jpg <BR> <BR> <BR> When Katherine Howard, the king’s fifth wife took one look at the woman who preceded her in marriage, she was stunned to see such a poised and classy lady since she’d heard from Henry and his entourage about how ugly and unattractive she was. Henry had to even take a second look at what he threw away and Stone’s Anne won over the entire court during the Christmas and New Years celebrations at the palace. <BR> <BR> Henry Cavill as the king’s long suffering best friend Charles Brandon was also incredible on the Sunday night episode. The season is taking off even by the second episode and Brandon and the other lords watched in horror as an ailing and older Henry showed up to call them all liars and threatened them. Fans are unsure if Henry’s latest delusional rants are because of his infected leg, which will not heal, or his mental state which is slipping and deteriorating by every hour virtually. In truth Henry was probably a paranoid schizophrenic who was capable of violence and his threats had to be taken very seriously. During the reign of Henry the VIII, his British subjects didn’t know when they woke up in the morning if their head would be on a chopping block or not. <BR> <BR> Torrance Coombs as the ill-fated Thomas Culpeper nursed Henry’s wound in one scene and quickly prowled around the palace like a tom cat looking for Henry’s wife Katherine, whom he seduced on Sunday night. The young man who plays the once trusted courier of his majesty’s is an incredible actor who has shown that he can come into an established series and blend right in. That’s a hard thing to do, but it seemed effortless in the second episode. His treachery and betrayal will surely be dealt with as the season progresses. <BR> <BR> The star of the night, however, was actress Sarah Bolger who portrays Princess Mary. When her ruthless and immature stepmother attacked her verbally by calling her an old maid, the tears were genuine and well devised by Bolger, who is absolutely beautiful and without her talent as a trained British thespian, one could not believe Mary is an old maid. Certainly in reality the former princess and later queen of England was far less attractive than her on-screen doppelganger. Bolger’s performance left nothing to the imagination. She is so incredible as the high-handed and snobbish monarch, and yet in real life, she’s such a beautiful and charming young lady. <BR> <BR> Watch “The Tudors” on Sunday nights on Showtime. It’s a series that continues to astound many critics and last weekend’s episode left more blood on the palace floors than usually seen at the Tower of London, where men and women are being held at the king’s pleasure and we pray that Showtime gives the series a pardon and continue another season, as Henry would never have pardoned any of the souls in the tower. <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.canyon-news.com/artman2/publish/On_the_Industry_1168/The_Tudors_Starring_Passion_And_Intrigue.php"><u>http://www.canyon-news.com/artman2/publish/On_the_Industry_1168/The_Tudors_Starring_Passion_And_Intrigue.php</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="043"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3488<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0441" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("044","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0442" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("044","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#044" name="044"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 10.05.10 23:48.

Now I can sort of look back reflectively on that time, which alsogave me great strength.” <BR> <BR> He says the films he took during his hiatuses from “The Tudors” oftenwere selected more for their shooting schedule than for the inherentquality of the material, something he wants to avoid in the future. <BR> <BR> “I finished ‘The Tudors’ and went straight the next day into costumetests for ‘From Paris With Love,’” Rhys Meyers says. “When you’reyoung, it’s important just to work as much as you can, but then youreach a certain point where you have to be a little bit more choosyabout what kinds of roles you go for and what actors you work with.” <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://mycelebritybuzz.com/the-tudors-jonathan-rhys-meyers-feeling-royally-fit/"><u>http://mycelebritybuzz.com/the-tudors-jonathan-rhys-meyers-feeling-royally-fit/</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="044"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3507<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0451" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("045","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0452" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("045","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#045" name="045"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 12.05.10 07:04. Заголовок: On Showtime's .. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR> <BR> <BR> On Showtime's "The Tudors," King Henry VIII is about to find his sixth wife - but time isn't on his side. <BR> <BR> The fourth and final season of the hit historical drama hasn't lacked for passion or drama, but its mood is definitely on the autumnal side, as the once-vital Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) goes through his last years wracked with pain, illness and bitterness. In the episode airing Sunday, May 16, he sets his cap for Catherine Parr (Joely Richardson, "Nip/Tuck"), who will become his sixth and final queen in one of Henry's few successful marriages. <BR> <BR> As the clock ticks down to Henry's death at age 55 (four episodes remain after this Sunday's), his real-life alter ego took some time for reflection himself, after having spent more time living with this complicated monarch than any other actor in TV or film history. Rhys Meyers isn't an actor who frightens easily - he mutated his Irish brogue into a Southern drawl for a startlingly convincing turn as Elvis Presley in a 2005 CBS movie that earned him a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination - but he concedes that he knew he had his work cut out for him almost as soon as he signed on for "The Tudors." <BR> <BR> "I started by researching but then realized that would be just a huge amount of frustration, since I didn't remotely look like Henry," says the actor, adding that paintings of Henry often were manipulated for propaganda purposes. <BR> <BR> "I would start thinking of Henry as he was in history, not Henry as I was forced to make him. I had to play a very well-known historical figure without physically resembling him. Elvis actually was much easier, because I sort of looked like Elvis. <BR> <BR> "I had to get the audience to 'buy' Henry without the physicality. That was much more complicated, so it became more of a boon to just concentrate on (series creator and writer) Michael Hirst's idea of Henry and only see him as I saw myself." <BR> <BR> For each of the four seasons, the role of Henry took six months a year out of Rhys Meyers' schedule, presenting a series of technical challenges that shifted with the king's age and historical surroundings. Season four has presented unique rewards and pitfalls, the actor explains. <BR> <BR> "Its advantages were that it allowed me to be very free in my performance, because I found it very freeing to have that mask of age," he says. "(Henry) was able to hide a lot more behind it than you might think. I found myself using it as part of my armor. Then again, it's very difficult to work with beards and prosthetics as I had to do as Henry got much older. That meant complicated, 14-hour days, so it was hard work." <BR> <BR> He gives Hirst high marks for his creative vision and insists that their working relationship generally went very smoothly, although they did "tussle" occasionally, perhaps most notably over the issue of the role's sexual content. "(Michael) is very daring, whereas the real Henry was rather prudish, but he helped me see the sexual scenes as being about sex as power: the power of one animal over another," <BR> <BR> Rhys Meyers explains. "It was a form of control, not something that was erotic, not 'The Arabian Nights,' but something more sinister. That's how I came to see the sexual side of Henry. Everything was a means to an end." <BR> <BR> Including, it seems, those lavish court entertainments Henry threw almost every night of his reign. Those extravagant gatherings weren't just camera-friendly bonuses for the Showtime series, nor were they as congenial as the king's long-ago guests might have imagined as they danced and gossiped. <BR> <BR> "Henry was a great people watcher, very astute like that," Rhys Meyers says. "He would invite lots of people, lords and ladies and gentlemen. He liked to keep them at court because he liked to watch what they were doing." <BR> <BR> If Henry's final years were spent in a good deal of pain and bitterness, Rhys Meyers says he's feeling serene himself after going through a dark spell that included the death of his mother and reports that the actor was hitting the bottle too much. He's pushed through all that, he insists, and currently is weighing his next career move. And it probably won't include the role of Henry VIII, he suspects. <BR> <BR> "It's difficult to say," he says. "Certainly there is more to say about Henry. I think 'The Tudors' is incredibly brilliant, and Michael Hirst and everybody worked very, very hard to make it what it was. But to be honest, I don't think I could (play Henry again)." <BR> <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=379611"><u>http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=379611</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="045"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f88ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f99ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3510<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0461" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("046","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0462" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("046","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#046" name="046"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 12.05.10 22:32. Заголовок: A Monksland resident.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>A Monksland resident will be glued to the television later this month to see her starring turn as an extra with heart throb Jonathan Rhys Meyers on the hit TV3 show The Tudors. <BR> <BR> Liz Shiel, well known locally for her work heading up the Alopecia Support Ireland group since 2006, filmed the scenes in the period drama charting the rise and fall of Henry V111 last July in Wicklow, an experience she described this week as "absolutely brilliant". The episode, the third in the final series of the hit show, airs on May 24 next at 10pm on TV3, having already broadcast in the US over a week ago. "They actually asked me to do scene with the King (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) because I have no hair, which I think is a really positive thing. I'm supposed to be sick and dying, and he has got to the stage where he thinks he is God and he can cure me," she outlined to the Westmeath Independent this week. "He comes over to me and presses a coin on my head and says by the grace of God, I cure you." <BR> <BR> For many ladies out there the prospect of being in close proximity to the Hollywood film star would be overwhelming, not so for Liz, who took the situation in her first job as an extra in her stride. However, she admitted her daughter, a massive fan of show was very jealous of her role. "My youngest daughter had only brought her premature baby home on the Wednesday and then I got a call on the Friday. She was totally jealous. I felt really guilty leaving her but she wanted me to do it. She's got pictures of him all over Bebo, she's mad about him," Liz joked. <BR> <BR> So what was the hunky filmstar like in the flesh? Well, Liz was certainly impressed and would love to do more acting in the future. <BR> <BR> "He made a great effort, he welcomed us and thanked us. He was a lovely man, I actually got a kiss on each cheek because I was kneeling on the gravel for so long during filming. I couldn't breathe after that," she laughed. <BR> <BR> Then, over a week ago she got to see the finished product on the internet for the first time when it premiered in America, and now her friends in Athlone will get their chance to see her acting debut on May 24 next. Since the filming, she has been bitten by the acting bug and recently took part in Athlone Little Theatre's Comedy Capers. <BR> <BR> "It felt really weird watching myself as someone else, with no makeup and dirt all over me. It was really surreal but an absolute honour," Liz explained. <BR> <BR> "I really enjoyed it. I hope it raises awareness of alopecia and I'd love to hear feedback from people on my website www.alopeciasupport.webs.com Anyone can join and becomes members." <BR> <BR> The next Midland Alopecia support group takes place on May 19 next at 7.30pm in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel. <BR> <BR> "I'd urge people to come along, you don't have to come alone, you can bring a friend or a family member." <BR> <a target=_blank href="http://www.westmeathindependent.ie/news/roundup/articles/2010/05/12/3997067-tudors-tv-appearance-for-monksland-resident/"><u>http://www.westmeathindependent.ie/news/roundup/articles/2010/05/12/3997067-tudors-tv-appearance-for-monksland-resident/</u></a><BR><BR></div> <FORM action="/" method=POST target=gw><table width=100% cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 border=0><tr class=font2 valign=bottom><td><i><img border=0 src="http://i071.radikal.ru/1002/57/50c5d59180da.jpg"></i></td><td align=right> <a href=#msgid_t alt="" title="">Спасибо: 0</a> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=42><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="17"><INPUT type=Hidden name=msgid value="046"><INPUT type=Hidden name=filenumber value="00000005"><INPUT type=Hidden name=addspasibofromuser value=""> </td></tr></form></table> </td></tr><tr bgColor="#f99ff"><td><a href=javascript:window.scroll(0,0);><IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/pg.gif" width=33 height=11 border=0></a></td><td> <A target=_blank href="/?32-bel4bet"><IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/pr.gif" border=0 alt="Профиль"></A> </TD></TR> <TR bgColor="#f88ff"><TD valign=top><table class="user-table" border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%><tr><td> <div class=font3> <b>Вельвет</b> </div></td><td align=right> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><div class=font2>администратор <img width=9 height=15 src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/a.gif"><br> <IMG src="http://jpe.ru/gif/102/s10.gif" alt=""> <br> <br><img src="//rhysmeyers.forum24.ru/favr/r/rhysmeyers/avatar/bel4bet.gif"><br> <br></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=bottom class=font2> Сообщение: 3513<br> Настроение: МУРЬ<br> Откуда: Москва<br> Репутация: 1 <br> <TABLE id="0471" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("047","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"><input type=hidden name=ballr value='plus'>плюс почему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> <TABLE id="0472" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;z-index:200;" width=200 bgColor="#faaff" border=0 cellPadding=6 cellSpacing=1 width=100%> <TR bgColor="#faaff"><TD vAlign=top class=font2> <FORM action="/" target=gw method=POST onSubmit=javascript:reytopen("047","");> <INPUT type=Hidden name=work value=36><INPUT type=Hidden name=razdel value="bel4bet"> <INPUT type=Hidden name=adresat value="bel4bet"> <input type=hidden name=ballr value='minus'>минуспочему Вы так решили: <br><textarea rows=5 cols=20 name=pochemu style="width:100%;height:40;"></textarea> <br><input type=submit value="Оценить"><input type=checkbox name=podpis style="border:0" checked> - подписаться </form> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table></TD><TD vAlign=top><div class=font2> <a href="/?1-17-0-00000005-000-10001-0#047" name="047"> <IMG src="//forum24.ru/gif/img/p.gif" border=0 width=12 height=9 alt="ссылка на сообщение"> </a> Отправлено: 13.05.10 07:16. Заголовок: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.. </div><hr size=1 color="#600cc"><div class=font1><BR>Jonathan Rhys-Meyers was recently on Bonnie Hunt’s daytime talk show and discussed the fact that this Season is the last of the award winning Tudors series on Showtime. <BR> <BR> Bonnie asked Jonathan if it was going to be hard for him to move on from such a fabulous role which was so dramatic and compelling. And such a big role for Jonathan. <BR> <BR> Jonathan said “yeah, I think. First of all, when I first did the Tudors I didn’t think it was going to go beyond the first season. It’s a hard sell.” <BR> <BR> (Image of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - King Henry VIII - The Tudors - Showtime - All Rights Reserved) <BR> <BR> Bonnie agreed “yeah when I saw the ads for it, it looks amazing, it looked epic. I thought this will be great. But will they get an audience?” Jonathan said “it did (get an audience).” So how did it get an audience? <BR> <BR> Jonathan explained there were many clever people connected to the show and that Showtime, the producer, the director, the costume designer are all very smart people. Bob Greenblatt.” <BR> <BR> “Really smart. And what they did is that they took this show and they just molded certain parts of the show. Certain aspects of the show.” To make it pacier.” <BR> <BR> Bonnie “I feel like I’m watching scenes from Camelot.” Jonathan “When?” Bonnie “Richard Harris. Right now when you were speaking.” <BR> <BR> Jonathan “really?” He teased “I’m not going to break into song.” Bonnie started to sing. He said “what is the King doing tonight? I wonder. I wonder”. <BR> <BR> (Image of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - King Henry VIII - The Tudors - Showtime - All Rights Reserved) <BR> <BR> The Last Scene On The Tudors <BR> <BR> Jonathan continued “but then, so then the show goes four seasons. And at the end of the fourth season, and it’s so strange. And the last day of shooting we shot the scene. It’s in the last episode. With a beautiful white horse. Right. And we’re shooting the scene and then it came to the end of the day. And it was like nothing. It was like this great emptiness for about an hour where you felt ‘it’s really over. And you really have to put this away now.’” <BR> <BR> Playing The Same Character For Six Months Of Four Years <BR> <BR> He continued “somebody you’ve been playing for six months of the year for four years. Someone who’s become an integral part of you. To a certain extent and you’ve become a part of whatever you were doing. I miss the people. I miss the crew. I miss the camera guys. I miss your friends. You’re going to work with your friends. And a wonderful cast. We had a menagerie of fantastic actors.” <BR> <BR> Award Winning Make-up Artist <BR> <BR> Bonnie asked “and how about the guy doing your make-up? Wasn’t he up for an Academy Award?” Jonathan said “Christien Tinsley.” <BR> <BR> Bonnie showed a photo of the real King Henry VIII which is not a very attractive photo and doesn’t look anything like Jonathan’s actual character on Showtime. <BR> <BR> (Image of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - King Henry VIII - The Tudors - Showtime - All Rights Reserved) <BR> <BR> She teased “you look exactly like him.” The photo was not flattering at all and Jonathan looked at it and said “thanks very much.” <BR> <BR> Bonnie teased “it’s uncanny.” Jonathan laughed and responded to Bonnie when she showed a photo of him aged in the role. <BR> <BR> He said “yes, I’m an old man. That’s the work of Christian Tinsley and Annie Buchanan who’s another great make-up artist. And so they gave me the look and then it was difficult because I had to have a voice that was older. <BR> <BR> So I had to break it down. So funny enough. You said Richard Harris. Because I started looking at Richard Harris’ performance in Cromwell and Richard Burton’s performance in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. And then I took little aspects of their voice. Cause they had the most beautiful voices to suit what I looked like.” <BR> <BR> He paused “we’ll see how it looks”. Bonnie said “no, you do, it is melodic in a sense when you’re playing him.” <BR> <BR> Jonathan said “well beautiful writing as well. Michael Harris is an incredible writer.” <BR> <BR> Jonathan then demonstrated his aged voice and said “when I’m playing Henry as an old man your register is very deep. Just like that.” <BR> <BR> (Image of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - King Henry VIII - The Tudors with his sixth wife - Joely Richardson as Catherine Parr - Showtime - All Rights Reserved) <BR> <BR> The audience applauded his demonstration of an aged voice as King Henry VIII. <BR> <BR> Bonnie asked Jonathan about getting vocal chord nodes. <BR> <BR> Laryngitis During Performance <BR> <BR> He said “I got laryngitis for one scene. And it was a very important scene. I’m in Parliament and it’s the last speech Henry every made. He was never seen in public again. And he made this incredible speech. With 55 lines of dialogue. And I just forced my voice through it. And so we’re doing it and sometimes the voice breaks but we left it like that. Because it was the emotion broke (breaking). And it was almost towards the end of the shoot and it got very emotional in certain ways. I was saying goodbye to people like that.” <BR> <BR> Bonnie said “wow, you’re really close to the character (King Henry) did you ever drive home in the car pool lane?” <BR> <BR> Jonathan laughed and then got serious and said “no.” <BR> <BR> (Image of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - King Henry VIII - The Tudors with his sixth wife - Joely Richardson as Catherine Parr - Showtime - All Rights Reserved) <BR> <BR> Jonathan Is Animal Lover <BR> <BR> Bonnie told the audience Jonathan was an animal lover like she is. She showed a photo of Jonathan’s dog. Bonnie said Jonathan takes his dog (Boo Boo) everywhere with him. Bonnie said “Jonathan, he’s so cute.” <BR> <BR> Jonathan said he actually thought about bringing his dog on the show and that he could have walked out on stage with him and sat with him during the show. Bonnie told him he should have brought his dog. Jonathan said “I know, I’m so disappointed I didn’t. But next time I will certainly bring my dog.” <BR> <BR> Bonnie said “you know how you were giving that speech saying good-bye to the crew? I’m doing that here (Bonnie Hunt’s show was canceled as of May 2010). <BR> <BR> (Image of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - King Henry VIII - The Tudors - Showtime - All Rights Reserved) <BR> <BR> Jonathan said “oh no. I’m so sad.” She teased him and said for her ending she was going to wear the same outfit as Henry VIII. It was very funny and true to Bonnie Hunt’s sense of humor. <BR> <BR> More Information <BR> <BR> Please follow me on Twitter at: <a target=_blank href="http://Twitter.com/HairBoutique."><u>http://Twitter.com/HairBoutique.</u></a> I look forward to meeting new people from all walks of Twitter and learning from their Tweets.
