Rupert won!

Yey! :) Rupert won the London Newcomer of the year award and it kind of made my evening! :) Congratulations!
I know he'll probably be in lots of plays in the next few years but I used my window of opportunity to see him in this first one live and to me, that makes it really memorable. I most likely won't ever see him live again, living in fucking Mordor where I do, but I really wanted him to win this one where I witness what an excellent actor he was - and he did! :D
I know being in Harry Potter probably made this award happen for him - but that doesn't make him any less worthy of receiving it, mind you! Yeah, I'm kind of the mother hen here, all protective of "my babies". ;)
So yey again! Happy and proud of him! And of myself, to getting all my resources together (financial and otherwise) and see him when I could!
Plus, Potter, erm Daniel was there as well, and I believe he also walked out with quite an award himself. The reunion photos look quite lovely!
I'm just... kind of made happy by this after an exhausting day, so yeah - shoot me. I know it's adolescent and stupid, but I can't care rat's arse if it is. I was really rooting for it (of course I voted and I probably wouldn't have unless I saw him live) - and I guess I was not the only one!

Oh, would you look at your icon, it's precious! :)
Did you just change that to honour Rupert? If so, that's super cool of you! (insert a hug at will) ;)
Yey, I'm kind of in a celebratory mood because he won and consequently quite silly you should NOT see my ear to ear grin, it's embarassing - have I mentioned that I was a cheap date and it doesn't take much to make my day? Yeah, well, that's as good example as any.
My "champion" won - how does that not call for celebration!? :D
I wonder, was Colin nominated for anything?

(deleted comment)

I know you didn't make it as a default icon, but it was still a very nice touch of you to change it for the occasion. (so the hug offer still holds!)
Go to bed, you - and that's practically an order from a Hitler mom and I hope you have a good day tomorrow. Reply when you can, there was nothing dead urgent in there anyway. ;)
It's holidays here this next week and I have both my boys at home, so if you find my head somewhere on your page, dozing away fitfully, it's not your fault, it's just those two little patients draining me dead! :) Wish me luck, it will be a week to remember!:)

Our precious so deserved it. I know it's most because of his Potter-fame, but he's starting to become a talented actor.

Yay for our favorite copper knob! <3<3<3

I know, I know, isn't it great?! :)
I can't help but to feel smug when I think of this American TV network that passed up on having him - I bet they're chewing their fingers raw now all the way up to the elbows, ha! ;)
But then again, if they wanted to have him, he would have never won this award, so I guess we should really send them a thank you card! :)
You make sure you celebrate - a Rupert-movie-marathon, perhaps? :)
(Hug and happy dance)

To be honest I prefer him in British movies. I'm starting with Cherrybomb tonight :D

Xxxx

Continental movies most definitely rock! I was kind of sad when he was considering Super Clyde, cause that would mean moving out of Europe for a longer period of time - and Hollywood is such a snake pit, I don't know if Rupert would be entirely comfortable there. In the end it was the best that it didn't work out - I got to see him live and now he's got this lovely award... :)
You're so lucky - I share TV with 3 more people (my family) and I hardly ever see anything that I like - it's never my turn! :) I could go and enjoy some Rupert goodness behind my PC, but by today's standards, my screen is barely bigger than a postal stamp! ;)
Enjoy for me, Cherrybomb is super-sexy - also the other guy is hot! :)

They even considered a kiss between them. (during the drug-scene at the end. Right before Michelle's father starts beating the crap out of Rupes). Both boys didn't mind, so it's a pity it didn't go through. :-(

I think Rupert would be perfect for films a la Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill.

You poor thing. :-( Have you considered tying yourself on the tv-screen, screaming it's your turn? :P:P:P

I know exactly which scene you have in mind - it's as good as if they were kissing anyway, all the elements are there - and sometimes the kiss doesn't have to be there to look every bit as one. :) I guess they considered that would be one potentially controversial topic too many for a movie that's dealing with a lot as it is. Oh, well... Personally, I'd like to see Rupert in a drama, something completely out of character, where he doesn't smile a lot and he's not a comic relief. I have high hopes for Enemy of man, but I'd like to see a movie where he has the lead - I think he's finally grown into it. He sounds the kind of actor that gets a lot of energy and good-vibes from his co-stars, but it would be great to just be him once. :) If he ever does mono-drama, I'm so seeing him again!:)
Yeah, we have this big-ass TV (55") in our family living-room and somehow it doesn't feel right to push for a movie like Cherrybomb in front of my 4- and 7-year-old and somewhat conservative BF.:P The stamp-sized-PC it is, then. ;)

Yeah, then I'm going with you. ;-) I would love to see a monologue of him. I think it would be brilliant.

Well, Driving Lessons was some sort of drama, and he did it wonderfully.

I heard a rumor that Rupe and Julie Waters will work together again in another movie. Looking forward to it. :D

Deal, then! If Rupert does mono-drama, we're teaming up on him!;) It would be nice to meet another Rupert-fan anyway, if I mention liking him to my 40+ friends all I get it rolled up eyes. No everyone gets to be young at heart, he? ;)
Yeah, Driving Lessons was a very sweet movie. I love the "coming of age" stuff, books and movies. I recently read a book called Becoming Nancy - if you're a reading type (not everyone is, my BF always says "I'll wait for the movie"), I definitely recommend it.
I liked Driving Lessons because Julie Walters was in such a different role there than Molly Weasley and their relationship was almost reversed - he was the responsible one and she was sowing all her wild oats even in the old age - but she still had some life lessons to teach him and she was just this loveable faulty character. Not to mention Rupert, who was absolutely hot and I thought a few times about smacking that stupid long-haired bitch over the head with a slipper for rejecting him throughout the movie. It was so nice to hear him tell her to fuck off, heh!;) <-- do notice the tendencies to take the characters a bit too seriously... ;)
It would be great to see Julie and Rupert work together again - but maybe they could put Tom and Rupert in a same movie as well? (*begins to drool rather unattractively*) ;)

I won't mind a bit of Tupert-action...I mean some serious acting and dialogue of course ;-).

Julia Waters went a bit over the top sometimes. I loved Rupert's character so much more. Rupert acted really well there.

I really hated the girl babbling about god. Pffff.

Oh, I liked Julie Walters alright - I think she was every bit the juxtaposition of Rupert's frustrated character; but then again, I'm a slightly neurotic woman myself, so I can appreciate it better. ;)
Of course, Tupert would be strictly character play - we dare not propose anything else - and if there's any on-screen chemistry, damn, that just can't be helped! :D
Wish I saw some more of his movies, I did see Into the white (though it was a bit tough without subtitles - the Norwegian bits were tricky, heh) and Wild target, but none of the newer ones. I hate living in Mordor, you're so lucky, the Netherlands is so mundane. ;)

Into The White was touching and well acted. I just love our favorite ginger singing. :D

CBGB was okay. Good humor, but a bit over the top.

Charlie Countryman was way too weird to be entertaining. Rupert's role is superfluously and way too short. :(

I wouldn't mind Rupe and Tom doing a happy hump (strictly professional of course...^^), but that's just my dirty mind playing games with me. ;-)

I really like talking to you btw! <3

Hey, you're way ahead of me in seeing all those movies - good for you! With the rate you're going I'm surprised you haven't seen "Enemy of man" yet, pre-production or not! ;) And I wonder where you picked up that Julie Walters rumour - I've heard nothing of the kind, I'm sure you must have accumulated some pretty good sources over the years! :)
It's great to have at least a chance to see all those movies, regardless if you love it or not (well, at least you love bits of them, when ever Rupes sticks his pretty little ginger head up front) - right now I'm pursuing "Kill your darlings" - Daniel may not be my cookie when it comes to men, but that movie definitely sounds like it would be one up my alley - but my movie-hacker "I love block-busters" Frisian is currently deaf to my pleas, so it looks like I'm gonna retort to threats (sad sigh... but whatever works, yeah?);)
Yeah, Tom and Rupert would be a bit of a dream come true for any proper slash-fan, I guess and I think it would be very interesting to see what kind of a chemistry they have together outside of the Potter movies, regardless of their roles. Hmmm... when is Sinterklaas coming again? I know what I'll ask for! ;)
Oh, thank you for the compliment :) (*shines like a 200-watt light-bulb) - I like talking to you as well (otherwise I wouldn't have done it, obviously!), but I can hardly imagine a person that wouldn't like talking to you: you're fun and easy going and well, you sure know your Rupert! :D

*blushes*

Are you Dutch, because you know Sinterklaas? ;-)

I read the rumor somewhere. I forgot where. ;-)

No, I'm not Dutch, I'm from Slovenia (but my dad's Croatian, so I've got a hefty load of Balkan genes), but I've been living with my Frisian BF for 13 years now, so my kids are half Dutch. So whenever a Dutch embassy throws a Sinterklaasfeest for the kids, we take them there. I want them to absorb some of their dad's culture and the older one speaks quite decent Dutch. The little one - not so much, he doesn't hang around his dad enough to learn. He understands some, but he doesn't speak much. Things improve drastically as soon as oma and opa visit for a week, then he hears more Dutch and he learns quite a few words. Oh,well... can't have it all. :)
Sinterklaas is such a nice tradition - we watch Sinterklaasjournal and have a CD with songs in the car so they get really psyched up before the event. And of course, we watch the whole thing on TV and they love it how every year there's some plot or scandal or something going wrong before it goes right again. I think the highlight of their celebration is that their dad gets a "zakje zout" in his shoe every year and they don't. ;)
We have the holiday here as well, but it's much more scary - there are proper "devils" going around the house with St. Nicholas and kids are dead scared (which is also good sometimes!) - if you type this word into google, you might see how this looks like over here: parklji
I hope you can sleep at night! ;)

That's so cool! Sinterklaas is a wonderful feast for children. The commotion around Zwarte Piet was absolutely ridiculous. :-(

Don't even mention it! I can't imagine the Dutch giving away a part of their tradition for a ridiculous reason like that. Don't international bodies have anything better to do!?
I don't have anything against black people or immigrants (at one point I was the latter myself for a short while when I lived in England), but I do think that they should leave the culture that hosts them as kindly as the Dutch one does, intact in their traditions. So what if Zwaarte Piet is black!? Who cares if he's green!? It shouldn't bloody matter! What matters is, that kids have fun and get passed some of the tradition in the process. And what do you achieve if you make them white - effectively make people forget a piece of very real history - and slavery was part of that. So make them white and we all happily forget it was there. How stupid is that!? Eh... these kinds of things just piss me off and I kind of have a temper, sorry about the rant!;)
Personally, I enjoy seeing the kids in Holland getting all dressed up as well! BTW - we have a carnival in Slovenia today - do you have one, too? Cause my Frisian tells me they don't have one up north, but down south you might.
Heh, I've just seen a new still of Rupert from the Enemy of man! What a cutie! He should play in a few "rough" movies, I like his stormy grumpy face. :)

And not to forget that Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) is actually white, but because of climing through the chimney he becomes black. :D

Like children think of slavery or discrimination. I hope the commotion will pass.

Yes, I live down the river (Limburg), and we celebrate carnival. Although most do. I have done it a couple of times and although I like the dressing up and stuff, I really HATE HATE HATE HATE the music. ;-) So I'll pass. ;-)

Yeah he looks absolutely stunning. Have you seen Rupert's speech on the WOS-awards?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkO8qee8w14

I totally LOVE the presenter. Mooooooove closer ;-)

"Rough" movies? Like hardcore gay-porn? *angel face* ;-)

Well, we mostly go to kiddy carnivals these days (though I went dressed up as a very convincing prostitute a few years ago, even a guy dressed up as priest came to get me to dance, imagine the comments!) - and the music they have there is mostly live. They'd hire a band doing all this kiddy/teen flicks (Gangam style, even Wrecking ball - I'm not talking Drie klein konijntjes here!) and I just swallow thickly and promise my black metal soul to give it its proper share of trashiest metal music the next day - and go anyway. It's fun to see kids run and dance around and sometimes you just have to take one for the team. :) I suppose it's different when you have kids. I don't so much hate the music, as I do the lame performance, but yeah, anything for kids.:)
Yeah, I've seen his acceptance speech - there wasn't much of a speech left in the end, was there?! Our man got right cuddled up there on the stage, heh... :) I envy that lady, I would have probably done the same.;)
Uuuuh, you dirty-minded Dutch... *angel face* indeed!!!:D Hardcore gay porn?! I don't think I've seen one from beginning to the end in my life!:) Sorry to say, but porn movies just don't do it for me - the music in them is also shit, BTW - and I'd take good erotica or sexual innuendo/insinuation and UST over any porn movie I can think of. Pure action, no story just kills it for me. Sorry about that!:) I'm sure it's different if you're a gay guy (I'm not judging, just to be clear, yeah?) - but being a chick with a taste for some slash action makes me appreciate different things. :) I don't mind nudity at all, but it has to develop as part of the bigger story, not as the sole mindless focus of the movie. I guess I have a chicky way to like man-on-man action.:)
