Monarchy, Sexy

After the fine response to my last royalty post, I thought it good to feature another one. Historical drama can sometimes feel too formal, which is why I’m sure things are often sexed up. And sometimes it is in keeping with various scandals of history involving royalty, which is even more fun. So which depictions of real life monarchy where the sexiest for you on television of in film. I have a feeling The Tudors is going to get a deserved mention.

 

And on a related note and after discussion with the fabulous Gill, I think that I should host a blogathon on celluloid versions of monarchy. Royalty in movie and television should make for fine posts. At the moment, I’m busy but in the nearby future, I promise to do a blogathon.

What Do I Love?

After reaching 3000 followers on here, I’m in a very caring and thankful mood to everyone. Especially because blogging has really inspired my confidence and openness. So I thought it best to share some of the things I love, which will hopefully give more of an insight into me.

I love movies. That’s pretty much a given considering my content on here, but I simply  adore the filmic world. There’s a certain magic that can’t be replicated in anything  else. You all know what I mean?

I love my family’s so much. They have been there for me no matter what and its invaluable. I wouldn’t be the man I was today without them.

I love women. Obviously I think women are beautiful, but I love women in general for their determination and their spirit. Women have been through a hell of a lot and deserve love and respect for their achievements.

I love being naked. I’m sure you all know this, but I do like being without clothes. I never used to be this confident, but as I’ve grown, the clothes have just come off.

Anything else anyone wants to know? I’m an open book.

It got me pondering on the fact that even though there are many women directors, there is still a large gap in comparison with male counterparts. But this post of mine is to celebrate the excellence of women directors everywhere and give praise to their unique vision. Plus, I wish to shine a light on many of the ladies in the profession. And I will ask you all, who is your favourite female director? Which films directed by ladies would you suggest to me? Below are two videos that feature many respected female directors.

Horror is probably my favourite movie genre. I think it all start when my Grandpa let me watch The Fog at the age of 12 and being both frightened and thrilled. Since then horror has been a go to genre for me, as I love the variety you can have. While I would say I’m a horror hound, there are still a huge number of horror flicks I haven’t seen yet. So this is where I ask all of fabulous people to intervene. Which horror movies would you highly recommend to me? As I know you are all amazing, I just know you’ll come with some great scary movies for me to see. And below is my pretty lame attempt at creating a classic horror movie scream.
