Towards the end of high school and into the beginning of college life I was completely obsessed with Philippa Gregoria's books especially The Other Boleyn Girl. I loved her books so much that for Christmas my mom would buy me her books on cd so I could listen to them while I drove the long 11 hours to and from Sewanee. Then during my sophomore year in college her book The Other Boleyn Girl was made into a motion picture. Now don't get me wrong I am a complete sucker for Eric Bana who played Henry VIII in the film. But I personally think he was too hot and attractive to be the man that Gregoria was describing. Some of my favorite films staring Eric Bana include The Other Boleyn Girl, The Time Traveler's Wife, and Troy.
Recently I discovered a newer remake of the Tudors, in the showtime series The Tudors. I was walking through target just recently, and as we all know I am such a sucker for discounted dvds so when I saw this series on sale I just knew I had to have it. So I have now completed the first season and bitting at the bit to start the second season. In this interpretation of the life of Henry VIII the king is played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. JRM has a special place in my heart because he was the soccer coach in the movie Bend it like Beckham, a small indi film from England. I was immediately obsessed with that movie and have seen it so many times I can quote it.
Well I hope you all are having a very positive day and get to enjoy watching some of your own man candy!
