reinforce my clarity

10 minutes of behind the scenes from The Hobbit. I am in love with the whole LotR crew all over again. There was Alan Lee! And John Howe! And Dan Hennah! And Richard Taylor! And of course Peter Jackson (looking much less like a hobbit himself these days)! Oh guys, I've missed you guys...

And Ian McKellen, and Andy Serkis, and Martin Freeman and Richard Armitage - and OMG is that James Nesbitt? And why did nobody tell me Ken Stott was Balin? I love Ken Stott, and Balin is my favourite dwarf!

Here I was watching this vid of Dean and Castiel's funniest moments (I may have to cave in and actually watch the show proper at some point) when I had the most bizarre moment of actor recognition ever. One of the clips is from the episode where Dean takes Castiel to the brothel - and the hooker called Chastity he sends Castiel off with? Is freaking Katya Virshilas, professional ballroom dancer from off of Strictly Come Dancing!

I was envious enough of her for dancing with Antonio Banderas (here). Girl gets all the good guys. (Oh yeah, and Phil Tufnell...)

Comment if you want to do this and I'll give you a letter. Then you go and list ten things you like starting with that letter.

It's The Battle of Pelennor Fields made out of sweets.

How fantastic is that?

YouTube is a marvellous place really. Check these out for a giggle:

Hugh Laurie singing a song entitled, quite simply, Mystery

Fry and Laurie performing Kicking Ass

Enfield, Izzard, Reeves and Rickman perform the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch

Mayall and Edmondson cock-up in Hooligan's Island

Enjoy.

Most of these recs will be slash. If you don’t know what that means, click on the link. Now that you know, if you find the concept offensive, don’t click on anything that doesn’t specifically say that it isn’t slash, OK? And if you do and you don’t like what you find, don’t say I didn’t warn you. I may or not give more specific warnings with individual stories, but there is likely to be lots of love and sex and a fair amount of violence, though I am extremely unlikely to rec anything involving the permanent death of a character or an unhappy ending.
