3. My dear tainted_chimp!
He is amazingly sexy!

Except when he's playing a villain...

Luckily that's not often!

Yum.

4. Yum, indeed!
I just finished watching 'The Reader'.

Last week: 'Schindler's List'. (ho-leee shit!!! The Ultimate villain role)

Think it's time to revisit 'The English Patient' next.....


Yep.
It's time.

5. Not only is he exotically sexy. He's incredibly talented. I just
saw him in an HBO movie, "Bernard & Doris" w/Susan Sarandan, and was blown away by his acting.

8. He plays Heathcliff in a rarely seen version of Wuthering Heights....
Worth tracking it down if your a Fiennes fan.

11. YES ! He's wonderful. Best Wuthering Heights production I've ever seen..
...I can even ignore Juliet Binoche's French accent.

14. I knew his cousin. Looked exactly like him, only thinner and with black hair and dark eyes.
Hose me down, quick.

18. He's into older women.
Francesca Annis was about 16 years his senior I think.

I'm rapidly getting to that older woman stage, so that just tickles me pink.

22. He is WOW!
I've admired him for ages, but I only found out a few weeks ago that his first name is pronounced Rafe. Now I understand why I kept hearing people call him (what sounded like) Ray Fiennes.

23. I love him in everything except 'The English Patient', which I hated.
BTW I love the Otto Dix painting ('Sylvia von harden') in your signature. I saw it for the umpteenth time in the Pompidou last year. :-)

24. ...does nothing for me.
Great actor, I just don't think he's all that attractive. Not my type, I guess.

27. I think he looks far better in those still photographs than he does
moving about on the big screen. He just doesn't do it for me.

29. Funny how that happens...
I have a similar, fickle trigger.

For me a huge part of his attractiveness reaches beyond the surface handsome-ness part ...

It's the deep rich timbre of his voice, and the intensity that he can register in his eyes. (especially in those silent stares).

He smolders, and I can't take my eyes off of him...and naughty naughty ideas erupt within my core.


f'rinstance... this moment from The English Patient:

34. Laughing. I know the feeling your describe
but I don't attach them to Ralph. He does look intensely hot in that pic though, I agree.

36. I know.
Its hard for me not to get the shivers sometimes when I see a picture of him because of how chillingly good he was in that role..

37. The daughter of Amon Goth
did not know for many years exactly who her father was and what he did. Gradually she found out and had a hard time dealing with it. Anyway, she watched Schindler's List... imagine knowing that character was based on your father.
