primroseburrows | ...and now for another episode of When Apples Met Oranges, starring Tom Hanks and Paul Gross.

I'm ecstatic (and very unsurprised) that Slings & Arrows is getting yet another rave review.

But, um.

The main player in ``Slings'' is actor-turned-director Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross, a Canadian Tom Hanks best known in this country for the TV cult claassic ``Due South''), who became interim artistic director of the festival....

I really like Tom Hanks (Philadelphia is one of my very, very favourite movies in the world). Very talented guy, and from everything I've heard, a very nice guy. But he and Paul Gross are nothing alike (aside from being talented and, hopefully, nice). Their acting styles are completely different, they don't look anything alike, they don't sound anything alike. WTF? It's also a bad way to promote the series, because not everyone likes Tom Hanks. Not to mention that Tom Hanks as Geoffrey makes me wince a little, no matter how much I like him as an actor. To be fair, Paul Gross as Forrest Gump makes me wince a lot.

Apparently there's scarier stuff than the "Voodoo" vid out there (although I didn't even listen to the song itself because I was told the video was horrible, which it really wasn't. When I finally did and liked it, I could have strangled fandom). Something about Elvis and the Rockettes. I'm too scared to even look.

I love H₂0, as much for the political stuff as for anything else (Yes, I'm a politics geek. I read whole books on Canadian politics). And there's like two pictures I've seen that have Bad Hair. Certainly not this one:

Really, it's worth watching. It's one of Paul's best roles, I think, because he doesn't play a Nice Guy. Or a Bad Guy, either. It's a gorgeous performance, and the whole thing is beautifully written. And there's a sequel coming, yay!

ooh awesomeness then! I will maybe watch that soon. I will definitely be getting the sequel when it comes out too. I am so happy with S&A, Wilby, Men with Brooms and Due South - I can keep rewatching all of them and never get tired of it either.
I wish there were better, longer print interviews with him too - I like to know what he is thinking about various situations. The whole ACTRA deal was fascinating because he really came down on a the unions which was not what I thought he would do.

Have you seen Murder Most Likely? or Cold Comfort? Disturbing and captivating, both of them.

I haven't seen either of those yet and as of yet - I don't know anyone who has them. theamusedone is my source of all things pg and CKR - I will have to see if he has them.
I think I dreamt about him last night but it was probably more of a politial intrigue dream than a hot sexy dream.

I haven't seen either of those yet and as of yet - I don't know anyone who has them.

I kindasorta have both of them.

it was probably more of a politial intrigue dream than a hot sexy dream.

I had a dream that I went on a date with John Edwards once. It was very nice, and we went to dinner. That was the extent of it, because for some reason I never have hot sexy dreams. I would have settled for a political intrigue dream, because John Edwards is actually a politician, but no, we had to have soup, salad and entree instead. *g*

Well - then hightale it out to Colorado ASAP! We will have a viewing party! Or at least put my little state on your list of places to visit. We have awesome music festivals - I know you like those. And we have mountains! And a few fangirls too. And some more mountains. If you like mountains.
I wish I could go with you on your trip to Canada this summer. (see how I just randomly invite myself along *G*)
There are a couple of music festivals up there that I am keeping my eye on for future dates. Especially the Cape Breton one you are going to. It looks fabulous.
Soup, salad and an entree with John Edwards is almost sexy? I hope the dream conversation was good at least? Any time PG is in my dreams I am just happy!

I could send you the computer files, if you want them. I'm already uploading Cold Comfort in case you did.

I've been at the Denver airport, but I guess that doesn't count. :) I'm supposed to be going to Cape Breton in the fall, but I may have to pull it back a bit since my DIL is expecting a baby on Oct. 15. It seems every time I want to go to Canada I can't; it's been eight years, way too long.

I don't remember the dream conversation, alas. He looked happy, though, so he probably wasn't bored. I dreamed I kissed Alex Krycek once, which is about as sexy of a dream as I get. Not fair, I say.

I would love to get Cold Comfort and Murder most likely. I just can't burn it but I know someone who can. Thanks for putting those up for me. I was so sad when that place we all love (s-closet) got busted. I just liked knowing those things were there.
Oh - I've had lots of supersexy dreams but that comes from reading so much fanfic! hee! I daydream during boring classes and it's always x-rated RayK/Benton stuff. It keeps me sane!
That is not good that you have to miss the festival this year but a new grandchild is well worth the wait. Congrats on that - it's always something to get excited about.

Well my work computer underwent a spectacular crash today and I don't think my home laptop can handle a movie at this time so you don't need to send me those files at this point.
*kicks work computer, then self for not backing up since November*

Well, darn. Let me know when you want it, because it's uploaded anyway.
