Poor Alex! And news about Monday's filming...

[frodos-smile.livejournal.com]

I think Alex is on painkillers... This is his blog entry from today, and is rather incoherent. But I think I have the gist of his message in my poor translation...




Estoyecribiendo desdeunadeesasmaquinashorriblesdel aeropuerto, de esa que me metescutroeuros yte dejan escribirunossegundos.Ahoramism cojoel avion para Londres. Me he torcido el tobillo ayer,lo tengo venddo,peroetoyvivo.quemal escribe esto,dios. mañan ruedo lassecuencias desexo entreelijah y leonor...Esperoquetodo vy bien.

My very poor translation...
I am ecribiendo since one of those you plot horrible of the airport, of that that put me cutro euro and they leave you to write some seconds.now mism lame the avion for London. I have twisted me the ankle yesterday, I have it venddo, but I am alive.that badly writes this, God. tomorrow we film the sequences of sex between Elijah and Leonor. I hope everything goes well.


As I said, with the incredible run-ons in his typing today, I think poor Alex must be on painkillers because of his ankle. I had to guess at where to separate the words for the translation, and still can't get it right. Honestly, I didn't even try with some of it. But I do feel confident of the last two sentences. :-)

All of us here are pervs, Prim! ;-D (OK, many of us then -- far be it from me to speak for everyone!)

And yes, let's all pray that it doesn't get cut. I hope that those people who've come over to the UK to try & find out where they are filming tomorrow are not going to be too disappointed, as I can't imagine they'll be filming those scenes outdoors! ;-)

No, you're right. That's exactly how it happens. Though the book does mention (if I recall correctly) that they've shagged themselves into utter exhaustion. :)

Really? Because there's excellent chemistry in the kiss (which then fades to black).

Although, if they did it would make the trip somewhat worthwhile...

[primula-baggins.livejournal.com]

LOL! But how *hot* would that be? ; )

Hmmm, actually that might be a bit cold, if the weather doesn't cooperate.

*faints*

*revives*

Cool! : D

elijah and the childlike empress eh? lovely!!.

Just in case anyone doesn't know what Leonor Watling looks like, she's quite pretty.

I'm giving you the link to this one because I can't put it in my Photobucket. They've already removed some photos like this that I had there.

But this one I can post...

Oh, I agree I thought it was really good. I wanted more darnit...maybe more was cut for a reason but what I saw was chemistry.
:)

[verangel.livejournal.com]

I agree that I think it is not realistic to bring a girlfriend to a filming like this. It does seem inhibiting. I imagine it is up to the director. But, I know the Pam was there for the "scene" in Bobby.

Now that you mention it, I remember that line. ;-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_celebrian/]

Like frodos_smile, that detail had slipped my mind too. You're right. That still doesn't mean sex scene per se (they just have to be in the bed afterwards to establish that that's where they've been), but that is an important plot issue, too.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_celebrian/]

Nope. Probably not outdoors.

MINOR SPOILER ALERT:

Although there is a bit of foreplay on the tennis court if they do any of the tennis scenes. . .

And she's 5'3", so she won't tower over Elijah(or under him);)

And she's 5'3", so she won't tower over Elijah (or under him) ;)

LOL....naughty you! *snork*

Julie Cox is only 5' 4", so she won't tower over him either. Must be a nice change for Elijah.

chemistry in the Bobby kiss? I don't really agree. but i didn't think those 2 had chemistry to begin with.

I love your icon! can you post a link to that shoot? or whatever you have, the pic? I'd like to see the whole shoot if it's aruond somewhere. not sure I've ever seen it, thanks! :D

[maddeningpadme.livejournal.com]

yes the sex scenes have got to be the hardest. or of the hardest. it's crazy. it's not just if your SO is there, cuz there are TONS of crew ppl that will be there. sometimes in certain cases, if the actor(s) are really really uncomfy, they might try to exit all the ppl that do not absolutely need to be there, to lessen the nerves of the actors but of course that can't always happen.
yes, sometimes actors' partners are present when the actor is filming a sex scene, it does happen. after all there have been many films made over the decades lol. does it happen often? probably not. most ppl can't take watching that kind of thing, even if it's just a kiss or something small. and then there are some ppl who want to watch to make sure their partner doesn't try to pull anything lmao. but yes it does happen occasionally.
I don't think I could be able to do a sex scene, or at least not for a long time. I can barely stand to kiss another actor, let alone do a sex scene. it's something I have to learn to get over.

Re: Not a literal translation.

[maddeningpadme.livejournal.com]

actually I thought "Jesus the Christ" = "Cristo" in Spanish. Jesus (the Spanish name) is just that, a regular name, common actually. it's not like the Jesus Christ. that's what I was taught anyway.

Dios = God, yep. Dios mio! :P

I have read the book and there are many interesting things in it.

as for pam being on set, so might be there she might not no is sure.
She was there one time during Bobby though so who knows.

Sex scenes are not easy, for both genders.

I have just awoke, I have slept well, thanks to the pharmacy that I have brought me to slopes, and attention: a ham to give him to Mr. Hurt, and to have him happy. A ham with two cojones, because I saw him with desires the other I gave and I have brought me a hoof five jots that me there is side a kidney and medium. And some cdés for Elijah. I have bought her Marlango and Jorge Drexler, so that hear what do, and be informed of the marvelous thing that is the woman with the one that works. This goes for the mother of Leonor. Not, that I tell it because I want!

The book

[alpeew.livejournal.com]

When I was reading the book, Oxford Murders and I was finding THIS scene
(so open, my dears), I was exciting&curious how Elijah will act it and how he feels...so nice and emotional (and open) sexual scene...
A. :-)

bad at translating I hope that some can do better.

[chickenlegs-11.livejournal.com]

What's an SO? That's the second time I've seen it written in LJ but last time I asked what it was the person didn't answer. Please can you tell me what it means??

[chickenlegs-11.livejournal.com]

Gosh she is gorgeous!!!

[chickenlegs-11.livejournal.com]

OK I just worked out what SO means! *duh* Actually I think if it were me I would prefer to have the SO there. I would feel MORE guilty and unfaithful if they weren't. That way the SO can see that it's all just business as usual and see how clinical it all is - what with the camera and sound boom in your face and a dozen smelly crew members standing by. Otherwise you could have a conversation like "Honey, how did filming go today?" "Oh you know.." "No I DON'T know -TELL ME, Mr Sex Scene Actor-Boy!!" LOLOL! I guess if that's the way an actor prefers it then I'm sure a director will go with whatever makes it easier for the actor to get the best performance so to speak.
