Do you love the OC?

If you are or were a fan, go and waste some time at this tumblr http://theocsubs.tumblr.com/ . Brings back some memories and gives me an excuse to post a pic of our fave geek, Seth Coen aka Adam Brody.

never enough Sandy Cohen........

Christmas On TV

It's Christmas Eve so I thought we'd have a look at some of the classic Christmas episodes from the small screen.  I think the episode that changed popular culture would have to be the O.C.'s Christmakkah episode each season.  Seth Cohen's obsessive enthusiasm for this holiday ensured it has become an institution all over the world.

Can we make special note of Seth's amazing and fabulous collection of Christmas jumpers!  Priceless.

Wonder Woman

As seen in my previous post The Big Bang Theory's Penny is looking fabulous as Wonder Woman but she is not the first and she won't be the last to don the  golden lasso in the name of sexy costuming. 

Check out these lovelies....

Bones

The O.C.

The Family Guy

The Kardashians

Kate Beckinsale

And just because this was a classic episode here's some more of Summer giving Seth his Christmakkah present

And here is the original and argueably the best - Ms Linda Carter

Meet Peter Gallagher

I've been re-visiting the O.C lately and it has led to many discussions about our love of Sandy Cohen and all things Peter Gallagher in general so I thought we should take a look at the man that brought Sandy to our screens and our hearts.
Since 1980, Peter has played many roles in numerous Hollywood films, Sex, Lies, & Videotape, While You Were Sleeping, Centre Stage, American Beauty to name just a few. He famously starred as the hilarious Sandy Cohen in the television drama series The O.C. from 2003 to 2007. Peter also made a memorable seven episode appearence in Californication and he currently appears in a recurring role on the drama Covert Affairs.

Peter is also a keen video gamer. He has completed the "Career Mode" in Top Spin for the Xbox and is known to anonymously enter online competitions!  I would expect nothing less from this man.

Peter has been married to Paula Harwood since 1983. They have two children: a son James (born 1990), and a daughter, Kathryn (born 1993).
 
  And just when we thought we knew everything about Peter we find this fabulous film clip for his song 'Still I Long For Your Kiss'.  His TV wife, Kirsten, played by Kelly Rowan stars in it with him.

Jackson Rathbone

Jackson is the other actor that quite intrigues me in this film. He is kinda freaky, by freaky I mean weird looking and wooden!!! There is a massive Twihard movement out there who are very in love with Jasper and Alice, so he is very important to the fans. The actor has done a few bits and peices, and guess what, he was also in THE OC. (see below)

He has started a production company and also has a love of music, playing in a band with a couple of school friends called '100 Monkeys'. (clip below)

We will see him next in THE LAST AIRBENDER.

Jackson Rathbone..........




Jasper Hale.......











Ok, so below is the moment when i actually started liking Jackson Rathbone. Here he is at one of those Twilight conventions, but checkout his imitation of Robert Pattinson running. Funny bastard! I like it!!!!

Nikki Reed

So, I am no Twihard! I readily admit to loving reading The Twilight books and I have already seen ECLIPSE twice, however these facts alone do not a Twi hard make!

During my 2nd viewing however, I found myself intrigued by the actors in the film, in particular, the Cullen family. I have not hidden the fact that I would definitley have cast the family differently, but I have also been intrigued by what they are like outside of Twilight, and due to the fact I am not a Twi hard, I am choosing to do this research only now. First up is Nikki Reed.

As Nikki.....

As Rosalie.......

As it happens, she is an interesting character. Grew up in a broken home and ended up living away from her parents and looking after herself at the age of 14. She co wrote the screenplay THIRTEEN (released in 2003) with Catherine Hardwicke...recognise that name? She was the director of the first film in this saga, TWILIGHT. She also starred in this with Evan Rachel Wood, and claims that it is semi autobiographical. Went back to school after this, but was apparently consistently harassed by mothers of students in regards to THIRTEEN, that she left.

Checking over her filmography, I'm thinking that the only other work I may have viewed of hers was in The OC as Ryan's girlfriend Sadie, whose ex just happened to be Volchuk. For those not in the know, he was played by none other than Cam Gigandet, who starred alongside Nikki in the first twilight as James, one of the evil vampires! Check them out below:




Nikki is clearly a brunette in real life and should definitely stay that way, however, has apparently apologised profusely to the Twihards for a brunette being cast as a blonde Rosalie.

So, we shall see where this lady ends up. Apparently she is drawn to more indie fare, so we shall watch and see!
