So EmmaRigby and I are pondering the yummyishistness (its my word!) of Sean Bean and Nathan Fillion in a show as Mal and Sharpe (OK Sharpe's great-great etc grandson that is just like him)


OK, I have to just take in the thought for a bit.....................................................................................................................................................

Who's Sharpe?

I'm obviously not too sharpe, because I dunno. Forgive me. I like The Bean, but I haven't seen all of his movies. Just Equilibrium and that trilogy with the midgets.

The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!
September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

OK

Look for Sharpe's Army, Sharpe's Honor, Sharpe's Gold

It is about a man in the army during the Napoleonic wars. He is a commoner and saves Wellington's life. Wellington gives him a field commission and he is made an officer.

A commoner......lifted to the ranks of Officer.....amongts the nobility and aristocracy. It is and EXCELLENT series!

Yep, good stories but the real reason to watch is Sean Bean in a uniform!

... and Sharpe's Challenge, Waterloo, Siege, Regiment, The Legend, Mission, Enemy, Rifles, Sword, Battle, Underoos... sheesh...
I forgot that I watched Troy as well, and Ronin, and Patriot Games.

You really must watch Agatsu. I think you will like it.

Sort of similar really. He was just trying to survive. Had a strick code of honor. Was more a gentleman than the "Gentlemen" and his friends were wicked cool too!

I like that pretext (and The Beanster) - I'm gonna have to check if the series (of TV movies, I guess) is available in Germany.
Seems to have slight similarities to SHOGUN, one of the greatest mini-series of all time imho, with one of my favorite actors of all time, Toshiro Mifune. I'm actually wearing a black shirt with a white image of him in "Seven Samurai" right now.

Funny you should mention this...

Husband & I just finished Sharpe's box set 1 last night and will probably break into set 2 tonight. Just placed an order from Amazon for box 3 ($71.95!)...

Hmmm.... A Sharpe / Reynolds sandwich?

{blinks hard a few times}

I'll be in my bunk. Or their bunk. Maybe on the Mess table. Or in Wash's chair. Hell, I'm not picky. Wherever.

I like you Mavourneen - you are my kind of perv.

How many box sets are there? In total? I have to make a birthday/Christmas list for the kids. Leave little hints around the house.
