2023 Armitage Weekly Round-up #7

Happy Easter, you all! I hope you have an eggcellent day today. I have already had my first taste of chocolate after 6 weeks without. Actually surprisingly underwhelming. Let’s see how long this chocophobia lasts… Let’s see whether we find some Easter eggs on Tumblr, shall we? Better stop here before we get to the…

RA on ITV This Morning Today

Richard was on ITV’s morning show “This Morning” today. He actually tweeted about it, including a fun picture from the set of Obsession. (Trust Richard to lighten the mood by turning the bondage prop into a head dress 😂. Also: note Charlie’s knees. Those intimate scenes were hard work, I’d say, and I don’t mean…

Sort of *ooof* – but with a plot

[Disclaimer: If you are not interested in a photographic nerd-fest, looking at the minutiae of some pictures and speculating about the show they come with, skip this post. It is a tad obsessive (see what I did there?). Plus, it’s all conjecture and just a subjective exploration in advance of actually *seeing* the show.] It…

2023 Armitage Weekly Round-up #6

It’s round-up time! I almost forgot because I had the pleasure of hosting one of our fan sisters for a night. The lovely Helen stopped over in Dublin on her way to a short break, and it has been great. Interestingly, we did not mention Richard even once! And I love that. Not because I…

Expectations, Hopes, Trepidations

Let’s talk about sex, baby! Or rather, let’s talk about sex scenes and why I am conflicted when it comes to the impending release of Netflix’s Obsession. By all means, my favourite actor playing the lead in a show that has been dubbed an “erotic thriller” shouldn’t get this fangirl’s knickers in a twist but…

Oha

And there is the trailer for Netflix Obsession.  .⁦@netflix⁩ ⁦@NetflixUK⁩ Damaged people are dangerous. #NetflixObsession pic.twitter.com/mpzqOyXN6L — Richard Armitage (@RCArmitage) March 29, 2023 *gulps* Funny that this has just dropped right as I am watching clips of the 1992 feature film (after having read Herba’s review of the original film). Some of the scenes in the…

#EarthquakeAid Donation Finalised

First of all my apologies for taking a week to transfer our donation to the Turkey Syria Earthquake Appeal of the British Red Cross. While I did manage to dispatch all the items that were purchased in our charity sale, add the net proceeds and calculate the deductions through fees and postage *prior* to my…

Last Call #EarthquakeAid

Good morning, everyone. I’d like to send a big thank you to all supporters of the charity sale. Despite the impromptu nature of it, the response was brilliant. All last night the orders kept coming in, and some of the items were sold out within an hour of listing the offers. Thank you so much…

Impromptu Charity Craft Sale #EarthquakeAid (Turkey/Syria)

After a couple of delays, we are now ready to launch our impromptu charity sale in aid of the victims of the February earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Even though five weeks have passed since the earthquake struck, donations are still needed to provide shelter, medical and psychological help to those who were affected. The…

2023 Armitage Weekly Round-up #5

I’m kicking off this week’s round-up with news that I omitted to mention yesterday. Netflix’ Obsession has now been given a release date. It premieres globally on 13th April 2023. Heck, that’s less than a month from now!!! Apparently some Netflix territories already play the trailer for Obsession. It hasn’t yet dropped on Netflix Ireland,…
