New Interview with Richard Armitage and Magnificent Photo in Spanish Magazine Accion! My Tweet Chat with Journalist Jesus Usero (En Español Tambien)

Photo: Robert Ascroft: http://robertascroft.com/

Richard Armitage fans were deliriously happy today, (morning for me, afternoon and evening for others), to wake up to the news of a wonderful new interview and photo from Accion Magazine.

You can find the information on the interview itself at RichardArmitageNet.com and at the link below:

I had the great privilege today to have a short chat on Twitter with the journalist who interviewed Armitage for the magazine, Jesus Usero. He's given me his OK to copy what he said below, and I'll follow with a translation (forgive me if I paraphrase a little, and for the lack of accents in Spanish!).

@JesusUsero La entrevista fue en persona o por telefono? :)@AccionCine

I also asked him if the magazine can be ordered outside of Spain, and it can be ordered two ways, through their website or via email:

@faboamanto @AccionCine Puedes pedirla a través de nuestra web.http://www.edijardin.com/accion/pedidos.htm … y a través del email pedidos@accioncine.es

Translation of the Twitter chat:

I asked him if the interview was in person or via telephone, and Usero said it was via telephone. He's not entirely sure, but he thinks Richard Armitage was in London at the time.

He said : Interview was very friendly, agreeable and that Richard is "a marvelous person and the interview was a delight." Interviews are not always that way he says. Really is worthwhile to read the interview.

Usero assures us the interview is memorable.

Usero also interviewed Andy Serkis for this issue of the magazine. If outside of Spain you can order with PayPal at the link below:

Hannibal: Season 3 Review by Eric Goldman Love crime -IGN

And wow, was this version of Red Dragon awesome. Yes, it streamlined some aspects – we didn’t get any of the Dolarhyde flashbacks (one tiny glimpse aside) and Will’s role was altered, to some extent. But this was creepy, intense storytelling through and through, with Richard Armitage bringing just the right mix of scary and semi-sympathetic as Francis Dolarhyde, a murderous, delusional monster who was at war with the potentially loving man somewhere deep inside him – a war amplified as Dolarhyde fell for the blind Reba (a strong Rutina Wesley), even as “the Dragon” was coming to life within him, compelling him to kill.

His face went from “imma kill" to “Flowers and tea, yay let’s go play" And I got up and walked over to him. He said (in the mst adorable accent on the planet) Hello there, I’m Richard.""

North & South and Spooks (MI-5) Win Top Spots in BBC America's Top British Drama's of All Time

North & South wins the #2 spot in BBC America Anglophenia Readers Poll of the 10 Best British TV Series of All Time.

I hope BBC America and PBS (US Public TV) will look at the results of this poll and will broadcast this wonderful series in the U.S. It aired only once in only select PBS stations back in 2005, I know because I was one of the lucky ones that saw it then. I don't recall that it ever aired on BBC America.

Also great news that Spooks or MI-5 in the U.S., won the #7 spot in the reader's poll. Another series that has never been allowed the time to find it's American audience on PBS or BBC America.

The time is now PBS and BBC America for US audiences to see these two great British programs.

For the results of the Anglophenia/BBC America poll click on the link below:

"The Hobbit" Question of the Month: Sexy Dwarves or Bearded Dwarves?

Unless you've been under a rock lately you know that Peter Jackson and "The Hobbit" group have been very busy making casting announcements about the film. Because of the casting of several very attractive actors (talented actors all) for the Middle-earth dwarves (Richard Armitage, Aidan Turner, and others) there's quite an interesting discussion developing between Tolkien purists and fans of the actors in question, or just movie fans in general about whether the look of the Middle-earth dwarves should remain true to the book, or maybe changed to provide some eye candy for us ladies.

There's a marvelous and very funny article all about this issue on www.theonering.net by Maegwen. You can read the entire article by clicking HERE.

I was just inspired by the article and RA Central (on Twitter) to post the unscientific poll below. So how about it world, do we want sexy dwarves in Middle-earth or hairy, long-bearded, dwarves?
