Fan adventures at the Borough Market today


Amy's laptop desctop bacground is Eddie (she mentioned in the conversation)

cocaineandkissesI met the lovely Eddie Redmayne today at work! My legs almost gave way but he’s actually prettier in the flesh (if that’s even possible). But yeah we had a nice chat and I served him a drink. I know what my new fave drink is now :3
"Prettier in the flesh" - quote of the day.

They are so lucky!

Personal note to my followers:
I travel to my father in the morning to take care of him. I'll stay with him for about a month. During this period I'm afraid I cannot spend as much time blogging as usual and my internet connection will be limited too, so I can do less posts. My enthusiasm has not changed, don't worry I'll be back.

Glorious 39 - Ralph up close - more amazing pics

For my post about Eddie Redmayne as Ralph Keyes in Glorious 39 I made more than fifty edited pictures. That's
too much for one post, so I divided into two. In this post there are mostly closups (edited captures) and quotes
from the film. The original captures are in the eddie-redmayne.net/gallery.



Ralph tells Anne: 'Don't you realize we want people to feel defeated?! To feel there's no hope?!
That way we can do our deal with the Germans.' (x)




'Glorious... I know it's a very sensitive subject, but with my new job, I have access to all sorts of things, and I know 
who to ask to find out even more. So... only if you wish it, of course, but I could find out who your real parents were.'




Ralph: 'Should we be held to our promise to Poland? Do we really want to go to war for them? Can this be 
happening all over again? That's what's going on. They're all travelling back from their country estates as we speak. 
It's as bad as that. There's nothing you can do, Glorious. You go on making your movie. Cheer people up.'
Anne: 'I can't just do that, I have to do something more.'
Ralph: 'No, this is good advice. It's an absolutely splendid thing to cheer people up.'



Ralph: 'Why don't you ever do what you're told? Why do you insist that you always know best?
Because, in the end, what you never realised was you knew nothing. Nothing that really mattered!
You would not listen to me, would you? I told you to get on with your life. And now look at you. 
Look at you! We just have to stop giving you water, Glorious, and it's all over.'

Eddie as Ralph Keyes in Glorious 39



Glorious 39, directed by Stephen Poliakoff... is a Hitchcockian suspense story set on the eve of the Second World
War, about an upper-class English family desperate to appease Hitler. Redmayne plays Bill Nighy’s son....




'I don’t want to give the story away, but it was a tricky part for me. The irony is that I found it most tricky because I was playing so close to type. I was playing a guy who had probably been to Cambridge, and probably been to Eton, yet I had to have dialect lessons. I couldn’t believe I struggled with it. That messed with my head a bit.’




Stephen Poliakoff about Eddie Redmayne:
'Eddie has a depth and an unpredictability. I think this part shows his range very well because he has a real charm,
but is also very dangerous. It’s interesting. The other thing about Eddie is that he plays an American very convincingly. 
I hope that we make the most of him in the British theatre and cinema and don’t lose him to America.’ (x)
