Mattlocked, you mean 'mollycoddled' as in spoilt, cosseted. Coddled is a way of cooking eggs by baking or steaming them.

Oh, I know the expression "coddled eggs"....
Well, makes a complete new meaning for me now. LOL

AG, the pic's from Parade's End and your description is very fitting. There are many scenes in which he looks somehow washed out just because he's in the war, doesn't sleep and at the home front is ruined by his wife. He looks very pale throughout the whole film. But the face is really beautiful, I think.
And I shall let you thud before this day is over.

This is Sherlock, right? Yes. Someone did something to this photo. He looks as though he has lipstick on. Beautiful pic otherwise, yes, but I don't prefer the made-up look, lol. He's pretty enough by himself.

Interesting about the Parades End thing. What I was reacting to was not just the blond hair with the dark roots (ugh), but the red-rimmed, tired eyes and unshaven face. The man is such a wonderful actor, isn't he. Although I knew nothing about PE, I could see the desperation and unhappiness there-- I labeled it as a crackhead look, but now that you've explained it to me, I can certainly see now the scenario you've outlined. Thanks. I thought I was imaging things there.....

Editing this to add that I love his thumb joints. Yeah. Sigh. I've got it bad.

And from there work your way forward to other places?

Oh, I think people can be coddled, can't they? *goes to online dictionary* Yes. "Treat with excessive indulgence." Mollycoddle is a synonym for coddle, according to my dictionary, so both are correct.

And yeah, eggs can be coddled as well, but we just call them poached. Coddled is a nice old Victorian word, isn't it, for eggs? I haven't heard it in like forever.

Another visual aid for Aggie. Black and white so you don't see the blonde hair. And without cheek padding, I'd say.

Fine. For Aggie. Cause this is nothing for me this time.

SusiGo · October 2, 2012 9:50 pm

Sorry, of course it's for all the fangirls over here. I just thought Aggie needed more material for her evaluation.

Nope. Me either. I guess I don't like the Parade's End look, lolololol.
My fave is Sherlock, of course.
2nd fave is Ben being himself, or on photo-shoots. Mmm.
A couple of his period pieces have left me cold. I didn't like Atonement or War Horse either.
Some of the others I haven't seen yet.

Mmmm. I *love* material. Even the material I don't like, I love. heh

Is there a thread like this for Martin/John on this forum?

Mattlocked · October 2, 2012 10:03 pm

Susi, you misunderstood. AG, you got me right.

And yes, there is a thread for Martin, just not so highly frequented, therefore vanishing again and again..

Now I don't remember if Andrew has a thread.....

What's the verdict on this one? He looks really young to me here. But I love the unbuttoned shirt...

Pretty! And yes, very, very young. Rarrrr.... *makes cougar sound*

I want to give him some pocket money. And then ask him if he could help me crossing the street.

LOL! He's always wearing his shirts unbuttoned. Wonder why.

Unbuttoned? Well, I think there are more than just two buttons on his shirt...
