  1. This guy is definitely a two-fer, or a three-fer, or x4 . . . You don't mind do you?
  2. The red, white, and blue but unfortunately I think its Britain's
  3. Colton Ford. I know he is all over the thread but I can't get enough.
  4. Russell's thoughts? "God I miss my old boyfriend."
  5. He is definitely someone that I would crawl across those mountain for.
  6. Eating a peach in season. Yum!
  7. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes . . . a thousand time yes.
  8. I really don't look good in green.
  9. Thanks again Marylander . . . I also was thinking of "The Eyes Have It" but I got lazy. http://imageamplified.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/AGENCY-Renan-Corbani-Fly-Models-Management-by-Mauricio-Montani.-Spring-2016-www.imageamplified-4.jpg
  10. I am not disagreeing but I just wondered why having a book under his elbow, particularly Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney (which is subtitled "Diary of a Wimpy Kid") makes him an intellectual of any sort and thus the possessor of some sort of masculinity. Of course, there is another book similarly entitled but the full title is Cabin Fever - the Sizzling Secrets of a Virgin Air Hostess but I doubted it was that book.
  11. I know what you mean. I suppose for purposes of the plot 1) as the years go on and the woman politician becomes more accepted (a la Trump) there are some who actually begin questioning science and commonly held precepts and 2) to precipitate the breakup of the Russell Tovey character the partner begins to accept these ludicrous beliefs - and he is a school teacher at that. But we can't scoff as we see some of that now, unfortunately.
  12. Unfortunately, I think yes to a certain degree. According to the latest science we have very little time to work on managing the climate. It appears we do not have a way to get the heaviest polluters and thus those who could do the most managing to work on themselves or on cooperating with each other to manage the problems. And that does not even consider the need to make sure that nations or even worse, collateral groups, gain nuclear weapons or the knowledge to develop them. So it is not going to be a joy ride. As to the family relationships (which I do not think that you mean) except for that somewhat ridiculous digital masking we probably already deal with family problems and attempts at resolutions already.
  13. I watched the first episode and really liked it and recommend it. The acting, of course, is great. Emma Thompson is particularly comedic in her Trump-like portrayal of a British politician angling to get elected to Parliament and beyond. Anne Reid is also great and uses her comedy skills as the grandmother in the piece. Russel Tovey is really good. I really had not seen him in anything especially as I had not watched any of Loving. He has a monologue that I could relate to and which I thought was a high point of the first episode about the feeling of having to live in the political atmosphere we must survive. Of course he has a gorgeous partner Ralph (Dino Fetscher) to make up for it but Ralph has some crazy, extremist beliefs, or at least seems to. Rory Kinnear, Tovey's brother, and T'Nia Miller are a couple who have some challenges parenting as society presents problems that technology may inevitably lead to. Both are great actors. Finally, the script by Russell Davies, who created among other things, Queer As Folk, Cucumber/Tofu/Banana, and a portion of Dr. Who, is both humorous and leaves you worrying about the future. Rotten Tomatoes states that "Years and Years scathingly critiques the present with a nihilistic projection of the future, leavening the devastating satire with a buoyant sense of humour and characters who are easy to become invested in." I found it well worth viewing. P.S. The only real critique I had was that they filmed a scene with Russell Tovey showering in a glass shower and only filmed his head and shoulders. Give me a break.
  14. If he has to force his hands on that ass, the other guy does not deserve him.
