First things first, I added some stuff to the gallery from various sources. TIFF fan photo credits are given with the photos (if you want me to remove your photos, just send me an e-mail and I’ll take them off immediately) and the magazine scans are thanks to Becoming Jane. I also added one new still from Savage Grace, a shot of Hugh and his mate George Pendle, and one old (but attractive) stage photo from Journey’s End.

Okay, moving on, and more importantly, I’ve decided to make some forum changes. I.E., I want to move it, build up the activity, make it a real gathering place for fans to come and read or make posts. SO I ask that even guests read over THIS POST. If you’re not a registered user, you can still read, but you can’t reply or vote in the poll. However, you can still make a difference! You can either register and wait for your account to be approved (I’ll approve them faster) or you can reply to this entry or the tag board (or even send me off an e-mail). Either way, your opinion does matter. I don’t want to make any rash decisions without your feedback as I know the forum does have a small bulk that does participate.

I finally got around to buying Best Life and scanning it up. The spread is great and is making me excited for fall and cooler weather.

I also added some other great stuff like caps from the Evening UK trailer (which features the same clips as the U.S. but in different sequence, length, and quality) and the Beyond the Gates (Shooting Dogs) Japanese trailer. I also found one other version of an Evening DVD cover and poster, and two more stills. I wish that had been the original movie art, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Lastly, I added one more poster for Savage Grace and one stage door shot from Journey’s End.

Tomorrow is my first day of my fall semester, so if updates are a bit more spaced out, that’s why.

One quick update for today! First of all, I FINALLY added a Tony Awards video - Journey’s End winning Best Revival of a Play, but I don’t have screencaps yet as I’m waiting for a DVD quality version to arrive in the mail (courtesy of Nick). In the meantime, I snagged this one from JustinBlanchard.com, the man who played Hibbert in Journey’s End. You can save bandwidth and also just watch it on YouTube.

I also added a scan from Us Weekly, Hugh and Claire at the Toronto airport. If you want to donate Star and Life and Style scans, that would be more than appreciated. I’m a bit strapped for cash.

Thanks to Kylen, there’s also new candid shots from the day before yesterday.

Hello, guys, and happy Saturday.

Surprise, surprise, surprise, I updated the gallery with more Stardust premiere photos. I also replaced some screencaps of Hugh going backstage at the Belasco Theatre when he was still doing his Journey’s End run. I tried to mess with the video and put it up to give to you guys, but it’s SO out of sync that it’s not worth it. But I’m working on it, I really am.

I also added more promos and behind the scenes photos from Evening and a couple odd, extra things here and there.

And in case you haven’t noticed (seven of you have voted, plus me), I added a Monthly Poll to the sidebar. I thought it would be a fun bit of interaction! I’m also hoping to think up more fan interaction things. Feel free to post some suggestions.

Other than that, that’s it!
