Period is Hot.

[lyore]

Work and Real Life does get in the way of LJ updating, doesn't it? Or perhaps that's just the arrival of my 15 Sharpe DVDs... (even though half of them don't work and I'm waiting on replacements.)

After watching Sharpe, I've come to the conclusion that Sean Bean didn't need to audition for the role of Boromir - he just gave Peter Jackson the Sharpe DVDs to watch. It's like a Master class in looking scruffy, soldierly and sexy. :)

But, while watching my newly acquired DVDs, I came across a familiar face. And since I know I have a few Buffy and Angel fans on my flist, I thought I should share. .













The pic with the wine... *fans self*

I love WesleyAlexis, but that look? Um, not my favourite. lol. I'm much more partial to scruffy!insane!Wesley

Scruffy!insane!Wesley is amazing, I do agree.

I want the costume in the third picture SO bad. I was just thinking that a trip to the library would be in order, but I didn't know what I was going to get there. Thanks for reminding me that the library has lots of Sharpe DVDs! Now I just need to stock up on chocolate!

There's the bit when AD turns around and his cape/cloak flares out... *purr* (I'll guess I'll have to admit to having a bit of a thing for coat pR0n :P)


Your library has the Sharpe DVDs? I approve of such things. (And of chocolate, but that goes without saying)

[almostsophie.livejournal.com]

Mmm... coat pr0n... *drool* Yep, I want that coat.

My library has some Sharpe DVDs, some old skool Doctor Who, Sapphire and Steel, and an assortment of BBC period dramas I'd never even heard of. There must be at least one fangirl working there.

I *want* your library. The one where I live is useless, even for books. Still, at least it gives me an excuse to buy them, I guess.

The Photo is Lord Rossindale Not Sharpe - Some Minor Spoilers

[colleenwhalen.livejournal.com]

I wish you had posted a photo of Richard Sharpe/Sean Bean and not the wanker, Lord Rossindale - the bounder and loutish cad that steals away Sharpe's wife Jane in an adulterous liasion that leaves Jane penniless, pregnant and shunned from all British society.

I forgot the actors name who played Rossindale, he was pretty forgettable - and he had a thankless role - to play the weak willed, caddish adulterer who embezzles all of Sharpe's money, impregnates Sharpe's wife and even winds up peeing in his trousers at a formal fancy dress ball in front of all his regiment and the creme de la creme of high society of London elite.

The third photo looks SO MUCH like the same location shot for another Sean Bean film "Clarissa" - I think it is the same historic site in England where many 18th and 19th century costume dramas are filmed. This street is the same site that the doomed Clarissa was taken to by Lord Lovelace (Sean Bean) when he tricked her to leave home

I loved your description of Sharpe - scruffy, soldierly and sexy!

One of the reasons I didn't post any pics of Sharpe is because he's so hot he might melt my monitor I couldn't decide which ones where the best, and didn't have time to post them all :)

'Clarissa' sounds interesting - or at least like it has Sean Bean in period costume, so I'll have to check it out.

(The actor playing Rossendale was Alexis Denisof, otherwise known as 'Wesley from Angel' to most of the folks on my flist. And yeah, it was a pretty ordinary and thankless role, I was just surprised - and amused - to see him there. When given the chance, he can do a pretty fair 'scruffy and sexy' himself! *g*)

OMG, he looks so young! And that hair! Why is it that men look better as they age? It's really not fair.

[lyore.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the hair is... different, isn't it?

Why is it that men look better as they age? It's really not fair

I know. Not fair at all.

Good Grief!!! I had no idea he was in Sharpe! Now I'll HAVE to watch the re-runs!

[lyore.livejournal.com]

He's in the last ones - Sharpe's Revenge, Justice and Waterloo.
