I see my pics were a big hit! Thanks for the compliments good friends!I saw Elizabeth: The Golden Age on Saturday. Hmmm. I liked the original much better I must say, but this one still had one hell of a good performance from Cate Blanchett and excellent costumes and visuals. The story was a bit slow, but it had its moments, although the music was quite intrusive and irritating! England was really weak in the 1580s, and the miracle of having thwarted Spanish invasion was certainly quite a triumph. Spain was super powerful at the time! They had a large world empire and the backing of the Catholic church. Protestant England and that "whore" Elizabeth I had to be stopped in the eyes of Felipe II, but alas, the great and mighty Spanish Armada could not quite get onto the English mainland, thanks to Anglo tenacity and the treacherous seas/winds in their favor. The film made the enemy in the story quite obvious and I found myself laffing at times at the way los españoles were portrayed, but I suppose the Spaniards (whom I have a love/hate relationship with due to my background) really were religious zealots after all.
Alas, little England took a while to take its place on the world stage and eventually became a powerful empire herself. And Paul McCartney my friends, is part of that British legacy! AHAHAHA! Still going through a nasty divorce with Heather. Jaysus! No settlement as of yet, because she wants to be able to discuss the marriage, while Paul's not too keen on her sharing all the details. All those brilliant songs, the world tours, the royalties from us loyal fans; who freakin' knew then that some of Paul's amazing fortune would someday end up in the hands of the one-legged gold digger?! The bitch is set for life, since they do share a daughter. She's a smart one indeedy oh! Poor Paul has called divorce "hell." Ya think?!
By the way, not that I'm all that and a bag of Ruffles, but why does Paul's only son James look so odd in this very recent photo?!

The whole family looks a bit freakish in this shot. When did Stella get fat? OOossshhhh.
I saw Cate play Elizabeth either last year or the year before and loved it. Same flick?
her performance in the first movie was off the scale. It mesmerized me.
You are all that AND a bag of Doritos!!....Mmm...tasty!
I have to say, Paul's in-law is more attractive than his own offspring, but then you never did love Paul for his looks....
It's cause thats the "Real" Paul's son! The alive and fake Paul wouldn't really look like James.
Bwahahahahaha
Soon since it's Halloween... you should recap the whole "Rotten Apple Series". That is truly creepy scary.
I just saw "Elizabeth" the other night.. all I do is watch movies now. EXCELLENT MOVIES! Poor Elizabeth, I can really feel or her, left to be Queen as everyone else has a lovelife and a happy ending.. but at least they had golden years while she reigned!!
The costumes were divine.. just glad I didnt have to see Glenn Close's face in any of the scenes. Really Cate isn't that ugly, but she was made out to be so. The best scene was when her hair was windswept and long and she was wearing armor on her steed. I really can relate to the royals!
btw the real reason England kicked Spain's ass is that they were dealing with a bunch of little spics. A real ARMY silenced the inquiring inquisitors. BAH HAH HAH!!!
I like Kate, but I would be cheering for the Spanish Armada to win.
