A Brit a Day [#885]

I've said this before in one way or another.  Still and quiet, Matt Smith is down right...well, strange-looking.  But the minute he starts to speak or move around, he becomes one of the sexiest men I've ever seen.

I chose fan art today of a subdued nature, fit for this day of remembrance and service.

The simple and lovely embellishments to this screen shot from 'The Reichenbach Fall' remind me, once again, of my favorite foreign-language film, 'Wings of Desire.'  We celebrate the 25th anniversary of that cinematic masterpiece this year.

Credit to the artist, not me.

Tonight, here in the States, Kenneth Branaugh will be back as 'Wallander' for Season 3 on PBS.

Prof. Snape insists that you watch it.

Brits of the day, ladies and gentlemen:  fish fingers and custard.

My favorite passage from President Obama's acceptance speech at the DNC last night?  When he quoted Abraham Lincoln:

"I have been driven to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no other place to go."

I, like many a Democrat listening to Bill Clinton's speech at the National Convention, had a Come-to-Jesus moment last night.  Ready or not, we now must hit the trenches.  Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

It doesn't feel like Tuesday, it feels like The First Day of School.

Here is 'The League of Avenging Gentlemen' by Alassa.

This is fantasy casting from a fellow Tumblrite.  I'm not completely convinced that it shouldn't be the other way around.

My favorite Harry Potter movie posters were always the ones that featured Severus Snape.

In honor of the 2012 Paralympics taking place in London right now, let's reflect on the wonderfulness that is Sir Kenneth Branaugh as he appeared in the opening ceremonies of the Olympic games this summer.

I'm thinking that my choice of this gif as today's post requires no explanation, correct?

My body temperature feels like it's about 103.

I'm very fond of promoting Henry Ian Cusick in his non-Desmond roles because a type-cast actor often translates into an out of work actor, and we don't want that.  Here he is in an earlier role, sexy, dirty, incredibly naive William in the independent film 9/tenths.
