This is the point at which I admit slightly shamefacedly to having bought that Sunday Telegraph Style magazine featuring Mr M. off EBay (because yes, I am that obsessed). Once again apologies for dodgy quality but hopefully the content makes amends. I've replaced the cover shot above as well. The magazine also contains a characteristically amusing interview which I must find a way to post (or just transcribe if worst comes to the worst). Mr Morrissey talks about BI2 among other things, and helpfully answers a question that crossed my mind when I read an interview the other day with another actor who spoke about being required to wear a kind of 'sock' to preserve his modesty when shooting nude scenes. The answer to that question is: nope. Absolutely au naturel, my friends

I was once dragged to a Trek con where I subsequently managed to blatantly interrupt Mr. Stewart when he was speaking...the abject shame about which pervades me to this day. Way to prove all Yanks aren't inherently obnoxious there, girlie. *HEAD DESK* And kitty, I can only say BTCHPLZ re: liking someone with grey hair. As previously noted to you, Riccardo Dalmacci proved to me quite some time ago that when persuasive arguments are to be made regarding silver fox-dom, they can pretty much begin and end with him. Though because it's one rule for me and another for everyone else, I find the idea of myself with grey hair horrifying; as the women in my family get older, we invariably get blonder, and particularly given that my mom didn't let her hair go completely white until she was in her seventies, I plan to wait at least that long, dammit. I've done enough work in Photoshop and Gimp to assert that a fair amount of toggling has gone on in that shot. (Not that I think he needs it, mind you.) But if you look at Celia's photo slightly lightened & sharpened (yes, I have No Life, which is why I do these things), I'd say he seems to have about the average amount of sun damage for someone his age and ethnicity...which definitely includes some freckles, on the forehead especially. (The only reason why I have somewhat less--despite tanning very easily--is having abstemiously avoided the sun for most of my adult life; the other day when I objected to sitting in direct sunlight and my dad asked why, owing to my immense Booshification, it was all I could do to refrain from telling him, "I'm the Shoreditch vampire!") ;D Aw, bless your cotton fangirl socks. I'm glad it went to a good home. *clappity clappity* Yeah, given how often he (thankfully) gets nekkid in his movies, I wouldn't really think that modesty would be much of a problem there, nope. I do so like a man who goes commando without making a big fuss about it...

And kitty, I can only say BTCHPLZ re: liking someone with grey hair. Maybe when I can actually start looking my age, but at this point, where I have been told I look anything from 12 to early 20s max., nup, can't do Well that's somewhat reassuring, being of the freckled persuasion meself LMAO! It's not that big a problem when you're having to get your gear off in front of an audience (albeit small) as often as he does, no kitty

Well, indeed - and I'd expect nothing less Though it crossed my mind later that as a general principle perhaps the coverage, minimal though it is, is intended as much for the benefit of the actress involved as the actor. Not that one would complain in the case of the esteemed subject of this forum, but I guess if you're an actress and you have to do a lot of such scenes you might not always want to get quite so, er, close to your co-star

Okay, it's taken me a while to get to pointing this vague resemblance out, even though I noticed it from the outset Now, maybe I'm totally off the mark (or on some kind of medication I'm yet to be made aware of), but would it be reasonable to compare him in this guise: to the following gentleman (musician Nick Cave for those not in the know)? kitty

I mean, obviously they come from the same basic genetic group, but I think Nick Cave looks like Nick Cave, and the other fella looks like...uhm, something I have yet to find adequate words for. Celia, wanna be the tie-breaker here?

Er, well, I was going to sit on the fence - but as you press me... They do have similar colouring, with the dark hair plus intensely blue eyes, but I have to say I'm not really feeling it either. Perhaps it's just the retro facial hair that makes them look more alike than they usually would...

*sighs* I said VAGUE, didn't I? However much I love Nick Cave and his work, I wouldn't suggest by any stretch of the imagination that they're twins or anything Although I really do need to stop thinking about DM whenever I hear Cave's "Red Right Hand" kitty

This Russian picture agency has some nice shots, though they're best viewed small as unfortunately once you click on them they're obscured by particularly gigantic watermarks I especially like the shots on Crosby Beach with the Anthony Gormley sculptures from the filming of Don't Worry About Me Also, à propos of nothing, I stumbled across a few shots like this from earlier in the year, and I'm thinking that the beard is so a good look. Perhaps I just have a weakness for facial hair (on the right man), but the combination of blue eyes plus greying beard is really working for me

There's more photos via Getty Images, but as seems to be the prevailing theme atm, watermarks have to stuff things up, as per usual :/ kitty

It's a solution that completely pisses me off, but it's a solution nonetheless. And given that I do regularly snag online photos for my own evil purposes--albeit not for monetary gain in any way--I hafta say that once you put something online, it's out there forever (one reason I was rather appalled to hear about all the gals putting pics of their boobs up on Twitpic to promote breast cancer awareness--do they not realise how that could potentially come back to haunt them later? Though of course in my case, aside from the fact that I'm sooo not that kinda girl, nobody gets to see the Twins without a minimum £5 cover charge anyway); thus while I'd like to think there can be some honour among thieves, there definitely needs to be some common-sense middle ground established when it comes to intellectual property of this sort. Cos graphic artists far more talented and infinitely more amoral than myself are just gonna eliminate the watermarks anyway, ya know? [/sleepy, nigh-incomprehensible ranting] I sent that picture to kitty at LJ a while back and, uhm...let's just say my sentiments were fairly similar to yours and leave it at that, mmkay? I too would be hard pressed to find scenery that could sway my attention away from that. I haven't found a reliable watermark-removing program (though kitty may have), but in cases like that Life photo, it's easy enough to paint them out--it's when the watermarks are right over the face things can get dicey unless you're working in fairly miniaturised (i.e. icon-sized) format. (Or, erm, know what you're doing, which I really don't...not yet, anyway.) Though as always--because ah luves me a challenge, yo--I'll see what I can in terms of maybe trying my luck with a few of those pics from the Russian page. Once again, many thanks for the linky goodness, Celia!

As an aside, I noticed I became a Senior Member with my last post - hurrah! This is a pic that's accessible through one of the links on the media thread, but it's so lovely I thought it deserved a separate post here. Scouse mates ftw

I've always loved that picture too, celia. (If the term, "always" can be applied to, "since I first saw it about a year and a half ago." In online fandom, that equates to what, about a decade?) With reference to my previous statements re: watermarks--and because I've just had to review our newest ProBoards Terms of Service--I stand by my original assertion about how placing one's work on the internet is extraordinarily naive in terms of it likely getting nicked, but I've revised my overall position on watermarks, since some of the stuph we've done here is probably enough to get us in legal hot water as it is. And thus this roundup of pictures I've had in my "Big Davey Likey" file for ages definitely includes some with watermarks. Fair do's, and all that (a phrase I now cannot say without immediately thinking of Harold Boom). However, to start off, our initial selection is watermark-free, though of the highly LOL-worthy persuasion--I'm getting a distinct Clark Kent vibe here. Make your own, "He could pull me anytime" joke here. For some reason i find this oddly reminiscent of that Andrew Farrington portrait. I got nuthin for this next one except the über-predictable and well-nigh-ubiquitous, "RAWR." Welcome yet again to Severe Cookie Deprivation Central (RAWR Division): This next series of portraits from the Rome Film Festival last year amused me because the lighting in the latter two shots especially managed to somehow make his nose look big, and as someone who spent $2K on a nose job, I know a giganto-sized proboscis when I see it, and Mr. M's is definitely not one. (Indeed, he's one of a couple of British actors close to my heart who's got quite the sweet lil' delicate honker, actually.) Still, Hand Porn FTW, eh? (Oh, along with Eyelash Porn and Existential Cookie Crisis at no extra charge.) Despite my OCD-esque maniacal absorption with posting pictures of the same width, this one worked about as well at 400 as it did as an icon, i.e. not well at all, so here it in its original 500-width, smushable-chipmunk-cheeked glory. As always, I save the best for last--the latest example of how when you look up the term, "GUH," in the dictionary, this is furnished as the visual embodiment of said term.
