Experiencing the Quintessential Damian, Part I

[britphile7]

Of all the projects that Damian has done, the three that really stand out in his career, the "Quintessential Must-See Triad" of Damian projects, if you will, are Band of Brothers, Forsyte Saga, and Keane.  Given the rave reviews Damian got in all three of these projects, I think it's absolutely mandatory for a true Damian Lewis fan to have

*dreamy sigh* So, so pretty. I don't watch BoB a whole lot (except for the Winters/Sobel bits, because I'm crazy) so it's always nice to see the BoB picspams. He was utterly gorgeous in that film, but the subject matter was a little hard for me to stay interested. I'm horrible with war films/TV, too much like a history lesson. Although, if they had shown BoB in my history class, I would have actually paid attention in class for once. Or... more likely I would have just drooled over Damian and not paid any attention to the plots. Anyway, my favorite pic is the gratuitous smoldering hot in uniform pic. *drool*

"I'm horrible with war films/TV, too much like a history lesson."

For the most part, I'm pretty horrible with any kind of film that involves carnage and blood and dismembered limbs, so that would be war,horror,and some sci-fi films. Horror films I absolutely abhor (people are always soooo stupid in these movies, and I hate watching stupid people)! Sci-fi carnage - see my tirade about horror films. War films, on the other hand, I have to take with a grain of salt. If it's carnage for realism, and if it snaps me awake into a greater appreciation of the sacrifices that our soldiers have made, then I will tolerate it. Hard to watch, but tolerated.

I'm with you on horror and sci-fi films. Don't get them at all. Especially horror films, they creep me out for ages, even just the previews. I used to be deathly afraid of Freddy Kreuger when I was little simply because of all the commercials that they showed on television. *shudder* I still sometimes think he's hiding under my bed waiting to cut my feet off with his claws (I was such a weird kid). War movies are a bit too real for me. Action films, on the other hand, are awesome. I love shoot 'em ups and kung fu movies and mobster films, so I guess blood doesn't bother me. Fictional violence is fun for me to watch, but the real stuff, like Saving Private Ryan and stuff like that, disturbs me. *shrug* I baffle myself. I even have trouble watching The Deer Hunter, and I'm a ridiculously huge DeNiro fan. I think that's more boredom than anything else. BoB was very engaging and full of gorgeous men, but there were very few relationships and character flaws for me to analyze since it was all pretty straight-forward, so it didn

Beautifully done, my friend, beautifully done.

I loved that part where Nixon gets shot in the helmet and he's like, "I'm okay, I'm okay.....AM I OKAY?" LOL

And, you're so right about the post-battle remorse. The DL does repressed emotion like nobody's business.

Thanks for this!

Thanks, PB!

I don't ship Win/Nix, but that scene with Nixon getting shot and Winters kinda frantically checking him was just too precious to pass up. I've always thought close male relationships of this sort (platonic, hetero) are so cute because sometimes guys can be all macho bravado "Naw, dude. I'm good. I don't need a hug-" when really all they want is that hug...

Yeah, guys crack me up sometimes. Glad I'm a girl. Don't have to worry about showing physical affection

[15lbpurebunny]

Yeah,I don't really ship them, either. But, that was a great scene in their friendship, but ALSO just damn funny, for all the reasons you mentioned.

Guys ARE stupid when it comes to that sort of thing. My favorite? When two guy friends go to the movies and you see them sitting with an extra seat in between them. Oh, grow up, men of the world...grow up!

well done, my dear! ^__^

My favorite pic is DL in bathtub ^__^ (did you have any doubts? ^____^)

I love this picspam because before "Life" I saw DL only in "Dreamcatcher" (I like Stephen King) so you gave me the opportunity to admire him in different versions...can't wait to see the next two of the "Damian Triad"

Re: well done, my dear! ^__^

[britphile7]

Thanks, Citosol!

Yeah, I kinda figure DL in bathtub might be a fav of MANY people. LOL

You poor thing - you've only seen Dreamcatcher? If you can get on to YouTube, you'll find lots more DL stuff out there! Check it out!

Re: well done, my dear! ^__^

[citosol]

oh, yeah, I checked it out (expecially a "Keane" vid in which DL was making out with a (ugly) girl...^_^)

DL in a bathtube is a fav of ALL the people in the entire world!! ^___°

Thanks for sharing!!
