Just viewed some of the promo pix that were posted a few pages back. My goodness, could there be a more attractive couple???
And him in blue. Yeah. Works for me.
Love him in the BUP soundtrack photo--fabulous profile.

Excuse the squeeeeeeeing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just saw another BUP ad during the hoop game. Mr Fleur is a saint. I rewound it twice and he sat through it with only one raised eyebrow ala Alex! Perhaps a slight eyeroll may have occured.

I said: 'Good for Alex that he got such a great, high profile role, this is so great for him.' Mr Fleur's response: 'Do you know how many times you've said that, honey?'

He's a patient man.

But he sounds like a sweetie :hearts:

It's tough to compete with a Greek god :snicker:

There is no competing with a Greek/Australian god. And that is a rare combination. Although to be fair, I did wax poetic about how gorgeous JLo looks.
It's a defensive manuever!

But seriously, how gorgeous does Alex look in this movie?? I am going to lose what is left of my mind the first 3 times I see it.

You're made of stronger stuff than I, dear Fleur.....I'm lucky to make it through the first viewing. :snicker:

I'm going with some younger co-workers of mine - girls night out kinda thing. I just hope I don't embarrass myself :blushing:

Phbbt. Embarass yourself. Who cares?
I will see it with my BFFFFFFF who I turned onto Alex, who cracks me up with her mumbling incoherencies (is that even a word?) whenever she sees a pic of him.

I am sure I can talk the hubby into going to it, also.
OOooh. And my mom. She adores Alex. Which is kinda creeptastic, but whatever.

Hey Dark and ma Fleur!!! :wave: :smooch: :smooch:

Have I mentioned how much Mr. Grace LOOOOOOOOOOOVES JLo?

I shall go see the movie when it opens with my BFF... first in line and all that rot... but he'll take me to it later that weekend, cos I'm doing him the grand favor of accompanying him to a JLo movie. :rolling:

You tell him, you DIE, btw. I'm working this angle for all it's worth. :devil:

Hi Grace :wave: I promise not to tell on you :snicker: Maybe I'll get brave and ask my other half if he knows who JLo is.....somehow, I just can't see him sitting through the movie, JLo or no JLo.

I think I'll have more fun with the girlfriends, a little dinner and wine before the movie is what we're planning. Neither of these two young ladies knows anything about Alex. It'll be interesting to see what they think.

Yes, it will! And you'll let us know, ok??

Hey, I'm going to see it with my friend too, and I'll likely go see it all by myself a time or three... I am looking upon the "with husband" viewing purely as a verrrrrry lucky bonus. If Alex had made this movie with Jen Aniston or Sandra Bullock (God rest her husband's man parts, cause she's gonna hurt em)... I'd be all on my own. :whistle:

But given that fate has thrown this fortuity my way... I AM taking advantage. :woohoo:

My hubby believes that I think JLo is hotter than he thinks she is. God, I really hope that made sense. So, I can't work that angle with him. But he's pretty sweet and he'll go with me if I ask nicely.
I hope.

And grace. We are the "Sisterhood of the Travelling Alex wears really Low Pants and we Love him for it." So, you're secret is safe with us.

Go for it, grace.....and enjoy!! :hug:

Speaking of Jen Aniston, there was a review in our paper about her new movie with Gerard Butler (The Bounty Hunter), which is also a romcom. The reviewer tried to be kind, but found that the best he could say about the movie was it was 'easy on the eyes'. He felt he was watching Butler and Aniston as movie stars, not the characters they were supposed to be playing....he did comment, though, that at least half the audience seemed to enjoy it as Butler 'had his shirt off' for a lot of the movie. :snicker:

Wonder if the reviewer is related to a certain network exec :snicker:

Somehow, I think that BUP has a lot going for it beyond the typical romcom (although I may just be a teensy bit biased)

We are all totally biased here... there's no way I could rate BUP vs. another rom com in an unbiased way.
But tho we may be biased and thus our opinions suspect, our ticket-buying dollars count as much as anyone else's. And we can buy as many as we want. :biggrin:
