I CAN TAKE NO MORE.

[rueful]

But what about his arms and legs, Tip? Don't you want to consider them too before you quit?

[tipou]

of course, it was only a figure of style. i can take plenty.
but it is so difficult not to scream at work.
it's usually how my boss finds out i'm on the 'net again, when i scream. or laugh out loud.
and before he says anything, i remind him of all the coffee breaks i have not taken, and of all the overtime he owes me. for the last 11 years.
but, you know, i have to work a little.
now i am home though.
bring it on. oh i love when rufus glares.

I think I love the curls best in this, although the arms, legs and face are nothing to complain about either. Beautiful, his face looks like it should be on a Roman coin, classic features, and oh those cheek bones. (Sigh) : )

[tipou]

i think its about time he does another movie. i cant believe we are still having fantasies about bloody agamemnon, child killer, rapist, and all around sadistic killer.

[rueful]

Sorry, tip--you forgot a key term: bloody sex-godagamemnon, child killer, rapist, and all around sadistic killer.

However, I would be more than happy to replace him in my fantasies with a traditional hero, if Rufus would just play one!

Peach, I love those little curls too, and they are set off beautifully by that perfectly trimmed beard. Basically just yummy.

[tipou]

and do you sometimes discuss charles manson's hairdo as well?

[Vittoria]

Girls! Girls! You're killing me!



All hail the mighty "bloody sex-godagamemnon, child killer, rapist, and all around sadistic killer"!!!! ;D

Geez... Rufus really needs a "nicer" role again soon.... Then we will all be shouting, " All hail the mighty kind and noble - and often humourous Good Dude!"

.. but then again.... I sooo love that darkness... glare.... glare... swoon...

And Rueful: I'm not really into beards, but it looked so good on him! It was nice, I agree!

[rueful]

and do you sometimes discuss charles manson's hairdo as well?

No, see, here's the difference: He's not Rufus! And he looks like has fleas (Manson, not Rufus). And he's psycho. Agammenon was just misunderstood.

misundertood. ah.

[rueful]

Yes, misunderstood. As the wise Jacob Hood once asked, "Did anyone ever try talking to him?"

[tipou]

yeah. i believe helen did. a lot of good it did her.
there is simply so talking to this guy. he is C-R-A-Z-Y.
cute when naked in a pool, i''l grant you that, but crazy nontheless.

[rueful]

There is no excuse for what he allegedly did to her in this version, much less killing his own child, but I'm sorry, I had to agree with him on the "no trade" speech. After all the destruction that was wrought, she thought she was an even exchange? I don't think so. (Of course, it didn't help that Helen was such a dull actress with no charisma--Maybe a better actress could have sold the scene better.)

Edited to add: But yes, you're right, he has lost it by the end of the story. Luckily, that's right around the point he gets naked in the pool to distract us.

Edited again today to say, for those who didn't like the use of the coldplay song for Agamemnon (ahem, tipou), there's also a version in tribute to James Franco as Tristan, if that makes you feel better www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlk-J98u0X0 (we really need a smiley with horns, don't we)

Just trying to cheer myself up from the EH debacle with a little pictorial therapy, and I found this pic I've never seen before. Angry, determined Agamemnon. So very, very hot. Sorry I can't be more eloquent than that, but it probably speaks for itself.



The site has a largely review, but heaps rightful praise on Rufus, so I'm quoting it below:

The scene that lends credence to Rufus Sewell (”Dark City”) as the real star involves Agamemnon finding out that the only way to appease the Gods so they’ll give him favorable winds in order to sail to Troy is to kill one of his own daughters. The man owns this movie, and no amount of naked Helen will change that. Which, if you were wondering, she is quite a bit... Everyone seems to be very keenly aware of Agamemnon’s obsessive need to conquer Troy, even though as played by Rufus Sewell, Agamemnon is a complex and wholly unpredictable man.

Now we return you to our regularly scheduled programming of EH mourning.

I can't see the pic rueful and I want to!!!!

Nice bit of writing about Rufus.
