I TOTALLY thought of SHH when I saw that.
Squee!! (I wonder if he's a spanker, too?)
Pathetic, I know.

Amy!! LOLZ ...let's not confuse the character with the actor :P The two oddball things I know about Damian are that his wife, Helen McCrory, was signed to play Bellatrix in OotP but had to drop out when she got pregnant, so that's how Helena Bonham Carter became Bella. Oh and that Damian is very British, despite the terrific American (Midwestern?) accent he did in Band of Brothers.

Couldn't agree more. He's all about it. I was all over him after Band of Brothers (and I spent all $89 on the DVD set at the time). Saw the same ad tonight. Whoopee!!

Oh man, he was soooo good in BoB. That's one series that, despite its length, I could watch over and over (and have, on History Channel). Haven't sprung for the DVD set yet, but my sisters and I gave it to our Dad one year for Christmas, I think.

Ohhh Damian in BoB -- *dies* Soooo brilliant. I didn't believe at first that he wasn't American, his accent was that good. But also the guy he played was just wonderful.

Hamburger Helper - it's a type of boxed mix that you add to browned hamburger, which is actually ground beef (I guess Brits call it mince). I usually use ground chuck with it; here ground "beef" could be all sorts of nasty trimmings.

[annearchy]

Apparently chuck comes from the steer's shoulder. *shrugs* Now you know where all those different cuts of beef come from:)

Hehehe Very amusing about DD's friends.

I really liked that article about the Weasley thing.

This is what you get to look forward to... :D

Damian Lewis rocks.

I loved Band of Brothers, and while the whole cast was amazing, it was Lt Winters that made the show for me. He was just--he had the whole badass yet conflicted pascifist hero thing going on that just happens to be one of my personal squee-triggers. When he got promoted and couldn't fight anymore, I really lost a lot of interest in the battle scenes, and I empathized with him so much because sitting on the sidelines was torturous for him. I always have to remind myself that he was a real person and things had to be historically accurate, and that's why Captain/Major Winters wasn't allowed to stay in the thick of it. When his superior stopped him from running into battle though, part of me still wishes he had clocked the man and gone on.

If Band of Brothers weren't real, I'd be a major Dick Winters fic hound. He's the kind of fictional hero I could read about ad nauseam. But then I remind myself that he really existed and that sort of makes fic a non option. :P

[annearchy]

Yeah I know what you mean about Band of Brothers. It's a really amazing series. I also know what you mean about real-person fic; it's sort of a personal squick of mine. I don't read it OR write it, and I definitely wouldn't about Dick Winters.
