Party time again!

[wiseheart]

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

David Wenham was an insult, both in his looks and his so-called acting. Plus, of course, I'd just seen an Aussie soft pr0n featuring him a week before I'd watch him in LOTR, and the only thing I could think whenever he appeared on screen was his naked arse. Which, IMO, looked a lot better than his face....

Yuk! The only thing I'd seen him in was a great little Aussie series called Sea Change, in which he was terrific. But Faramir's part was appallingly written.

Faramir

I still say that Orlando would have made a good Faramir, if more properly written. As boring and colourless as he was as Legolas, he could have been a great Faramir. And grey contacts would have looked better on him than grey ones.

Not movie!Faramir, of course, that was a bad caricature. But a heroic and yet kind-hearted book!Faramir, yes. His role as Balian had certain similarities, IMO.
