THE TUDORS Get Stone(d)!!

Fuck all firsts by Jillis	Aug 5th, 2008 08:48:17 AM

For a big, fat, disgusting dude with gout... by Kid Z	Aug 5th, 2008 08:49:58 AM
...Henry VIII was sure hard to please.
and I know..... by Jillis	Aug 5th, 2008 08:51:21 AM
I might me contradicting myself by doing the first post as a fuck all firsts, but damn I am getting sick of all the copycat message boards on other sites doing firsts
"Henry was disappointed in her looks..." by Mullah Omar	Aug 5th, 2008 08:57:19 AM
Either by that point Henry will be in syphilitic madness or they are not adhering to history. Either way, Stone had better uphold the nudity quotient on this show.
Mel Brooks was right...It's good to be the king by SpyGuy	Aug 5th, 2008 09:00:36 AM
And yes, Joss had better fulfill the full-frontal nudity requirement for all of Henry's wives. Stone, that is...not Whedon.
Still Waiting... by volcanopele2	Aug 5th, 2008 09:33:24 AM
For when AICN's Harry takes over for Jonathan Rhys Meyers on The Tudors. At some point, they will show Henry VIII get fat right?
Joss Stone by kwisatzhaderach	Aug 5th, 2008 09:35:20 AM
One of the most annoying people on the face of the earth.
Captain Justice... by MCVamp	Aug 5th, 2008 09:35:40 AM
While normally I'm opposed to such slurs, the word "faggotry" sounds sorta classical. Like Shakespeare should have used it.
Guys, obviously they are going to "ugly her up" by Big Jim	Aug 5th, 2008 09:40:37 AM
in order to fit the role. I'm guessing they'll give her glasses, put her hair in a ponytail, and have her wear baggy clothing. Then you'll all be as repulsed by her as Henry was. That's the Hollywood way.
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say by King_Knut	Aug 5th, 2008 09:56:11 AM
that I CANNOT STAND this woman.
Wasn't Anne supposed to be ugly? by OliviaFarts	Aug 5th, 2008 09:58:10 AM
Henry was forced to marry Anne of Cleves based on a painting that made her look prettier than she actually was. When Henry saw her, he wanted nothing to do with her and never bothered with consummating the marriage. And at this stage in his life, isn't JRM a bit too young and thin to be playing Henry VIII. What do I care? I don't even watch this show.
It's not like she needs to know how to act . . . by gruntybear	Aug 5th, 2008 09:59:36 AM
. . . since Jonathan Rhys Meyers certainly takes no pains to do so. And he's in the lead role.
But in England, wouldn't "faggotry" just mean... by Kid Z	Aug 5th, 2008 10:09:01 AM
...the process of smoking cigarettes? Or cooking meatballs? Seems like they'd call it "poofery" or something. Explanations from actual English people here would be helpful, of course.
Poncery Sounds Good... by TroutMaskReplicant	Aug 5th, 2008 10:16:14 AM
But don't quote me on it. I think ponce was an old word for Pimp as it happens. Johnathan Rhys Myers's acting gets worse and worse. He's going to become like Malcolm McDowell except without A Clockwork Orange to give him a sliver of credibility. Also congratulations to DannyGloversDickBlood.
She's too good looking for the part by Big Jim	Aug 5th, 2008 10:44:44 AM
and she's never acted before. Hmmmmm. Either her record company is tied financially to the Tudors, or someone in Tudors HQ just wants to bang her. Sure I'm cynical, but I'm also probably right. In the title Herc should have used her first name instead of her last so everyone coming in here would be thinking the story is about Joss Whedon joining the Tudors. Now HE could play Anne of Cleves!
Big Jim, I agree by OliviaFarts	Aug 5th, 2008 11:02:10 AM
Joss Whedon would actually be a more accurate portrayal for the role. Anne of Cleves, who was in her 20's, thought that Henry's kiss on her cheeks were the consummating of the marriage. Obviously, it wasn't and that's how Henry was able to get the marriage anulled. The next wife - name escapes me - is the next one that gets beheaded, and she was a 15 year-old 'ho. And I believe "buggery" works better than faggotry. I think faggotry is a word Margart Cho came up with when describing some designer, " ... (he's) fanning the flames of his faggotry". Why am I even bothering?
I dont like joss stone... by emeraldboy	Aug 5th, 2008 11:06:57 AM
For one simple reason. I think she is a tool. a corporate tool. I dont buy all the bullshit around her either. I heard her being interviewed last year around the time of al gore's live earth borefest and she sounded like a complete and uttter idiot. Tis may sound unfair. but it has to be said. When I hear The queen of soul, arethea franklin sing. you hear all those years of gospel music plus the emotion of someone who has had a hard life plus passion. I dont hear that when I hear Joss stone sing and do not believe her when she says that when she was little she heard arethea on here mums vinyl. She released two albums of soul covers before releasing a third one which was about herself. I think by that stage joss's sheen had worn.
Ya'll must pee sitting down. by Felix_Happer	Aug 5th, 2008 11:34:43 AM
JS is 10 kinda fine. I'd knock the bottom outta that post-haste.
She did a duet with... by emeraldboy	Aug 5th, 2008 11:51:27 AM
with Tom Jones and it was embarrasing. I hate musicians who show off(he does that quite a bit) and she did this thing where she walked off the stage microphone in hand and walked into the audience, went down the aisles. I was watching this at home going stop joss just stop. I think it could have the now defunct UK Music hall of fame awards. or the Brits. I am not sure.
I developed a show called "The Tutors" about a couple who help k by StanGrossman	Aug 5th, 2008 11:53:32 AM
Just when I think you can't get any dumber you go and do something like this...AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!
the tudors or as I call it... by emeraldboy	Aug 5th, 2008 12:04:33 PM
Sir Shags a lot. The tudors has given a lot of people in the Irish film industry a lot of work.
She also appeared in ERAGON by Mullah Omar	Aug 5th, 2008 12:08:16 PM
But all has the potential to be forgiven: http://www.newstoob.com/media/ images/2007/08/joss_stone_jane _mag_.jpg

You could wreck the crap out of her.
Shes from Devon.. by emeraldboy	Aug 5th, 2008 02:12:16 PM
Not much comes from Devon. except Dairy Produce. and cows.
I was raised in the country.... by emeraldboy	Aug 5th, 2008 02:16:30 PM
I lived in navan for 8 years. It is historically the most important place in Ireland. and our house was beside a farm....
we are really sorry about Joss Stone, truly. by bmumtw4	Aug 5th, 2008 02:33:58 PM
Hey i'm from Devon, i'm there right now in fact. I'll have you know that we have come up with more than milk and cheese n stuff. The best ninjas in the world are from???...Devonshire (admit it, you've never heard of them, thats how good they are), actual birth place of Barack Obama??...Devonshire (but you know...shhh), Pixar Studios based in??....Devonshire. Oh, and we really are sorry about Joss Stone, but to be fair you started it with Madonna, so uh fuck you right back buddy.
You know... by thefutureoffilm	Aug 5th, 2008 03:11:28 PM
She fucked for tracks right? For reals...so I'm assuming she fucked for screentime too.
Getting ugly by myrtle_mae_simmons	Aug 5th, 2008 03:34:24 PM
How uglified will they make Joss Stone? Anne of Cleeves aka The Flanders Mare as she looked like a horse, had six fingers on her right hand, a huge jaw and three breasts. At least that's what I learned in primary school history lessons twenty years ago so it must be true.
But Won't She Get All Nekked? by Deandome	Aug 5th, 2008 03:57:36 PM
I haven't jumped into the Tudors...but isn't there a lotta naked sex? If so...I'm down w/Joss!!
let me know when she shotws those cans by ls420	Aug 5th, 2008 04:28:33 PM
otherwise...yawn
then why didnt they give english lessons to by emeraldboy	Aug 5th, 2008 04:57:11 PM
Jennifer Garner.
Um...why? by lunalu	Aug 5th, 2008 08:03:45 PM
What is the purpose of casting Joss Stone as Anne? Anne was supposed to be unattractive and Henry considered her to be his sister after they annulled the marriage. I guess Hollywood is going for historical accuracy once again. And the 15 year old ho was named Catherine Howard. She deserved to get her head cut off just for thinking she could cheat on a king who already put one wife to death.
Truck Fuck Girl lives? by themikejonas	Aug 5th, 2008 10:28:26 PM
Aw, man, I've got tears in my eyes...
When they ensure her nakedness... by hadez	Aug 5th, 2008 11:06:58 PM
wake me up.
I fucking HATE this bitch by PlanetOfTheRapes	Aug 6th, 2008 05:59:33 AM
One of the most smug, self-satisfied cunts around. She is pretty much despised in Great Britain now for the way she adopted an American accent 5 minutes after moving to the States and making a series of embarrassingly cringy speeches at various award dos and gigs.
Great job, Showtime. by pandabait	Aug 6th, 2008 07:27:56 AM
Charlotte Gainsbourg coulda rocked the role; she nailed the part of plain-Jane Eyre. But hey -- you could go for historical accuracy with his next wife; cast Miley Cyrus! Next week: fatass Henry goes batshit from syphilis. Make it so!
If they don't consummate, I'm guessing no nakedness by chrth	Aug 6th, 2008 08:45:05 AM
I've never heard of this person, is that a good thing?
Will she talk in her weird wannabe-American accent? by Steve Rogers	Aug 6th, 2008 10:46:57 AM
Seriously, for both Yanks and Brits that is FUCKING ANNOYING.
I don't know who Joss Stone is by spectrebeeyatch	Aug 6th, 2008 01:11:57 PM
But a lot of you seem to hate her so I'm glad I've avoided her. But I do have to say she looks good in that pic and i'd wreck that shit haha. Well whatever I guess I should find myself lucky I don't watch the Tudors either.
spectrebeeyatch... I will tell you all about joss stone... by emeraldboy	Aug 6th, 2008 01:50:37 PM
Joss Stone was born in Devon in the UK. She pretty much had an uneventfull life growing up in the UK. One day as a teenager, her mother overheard her singing along to a soul record. She sent the tape to an A and R man, who assumed that Joss was black kid from chicago. He summoned Joss and her mum to his office in London and was stunned to learn that Joss was white. In between completing her school work, Joss stone recorded the Soul sessions. Nobody knew who she was. Her record company and her mum manager decided to leave her face off the her album. When the album was released, word spread quickly and Joss was being labled new UK soul sensation. Then she started to perform live in the UK and very soon she was hot property. But very quickly the Soul stuff got tired. and people wanted to know if she could write her own stuff. That was the third album of which joss said that she wanted to find her own voice. the public really werent impressed and they werent impressed by her over the top performances where she would grab the mic and run around the stage and off into the audience. She hasnt done much since. She did a bit for Live Earth and sounded like an idiot. Her bit was that people should turn off light bulbs and plant trees to save the planet. AMerica followed but she has been very quiet....
Accroding to her own site.... by emeraldboy	Aug 6th, 2008 01:59:04 PM
she has sold 7.5 million album worldwide.
