These actors skip middle C altogether — staying away from that sustained note of sexy solemnity that’s supposed to stand for heroism. Sometimes, as ensemble-trained comedians, they even know how to work with others. And next to them performers like Evangeline Lilly on “Lost” and Milo Ventimiglia on “Heroes” seem stilted, pompous and introverted. That's a rather marvelous way of putting it. Never thought of it that way before.

Wh-hoo! 100 pages of Hugh-ness!

Those piuctures were hot, the second one definately had a okay guys it was cool once but enough already quality to it Nothing really more to add, I like even numbers

I'm really not sure what thread this should go on, so I'm guessing here. I don't know how to describe this, except that you've got to see it to believe it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beTevt7KJms

RE: ITAS, I don't think there was anything out of line. And he always had the option of saying "I don't feel comfortable talking about that." He gave the "thats none of your business" line in his cute way to Ferguson, as you recall. IAWTC. Actually, I was surprised at how honest he was at ITAS when talking about his difficult relationship with his mother. I give him kudos for that, because it would have easy to probably just gloss over and give a pat, celebrity style answer. And things like that - you never how many people watching in similar situations make take comfort in thinking, "Oh, even a big star went though what I went through."

I must've seen that 800 times. Love that. I love the part where it looks like Stephens going to laugh. But I never saw that second part. Cool. Love seeing new things. "I think he said vulva". Heh.

So I got my All or Nothing at All DVD and it's wonderful to see and hear clearly. It's an interesting story and, being utterly shallow for a moment, Hugh's best hair ever. Anyway, I got curious about what poem Leo is reading to his kids near the end of the 2nd part. So, google being my friend, I discovered it may be a Struwwelpeter story (somewhat grim nineteenth century cautionary tales, though this doesn't seem to be one of the originals). At any rate, I thought it was, well, interesting that Leo would be reading this to his kids and thought it adds an added layer to the reading of his own childhood as a rather cruel and unpredictable one. Is anyone here familiar with these poems? The Night Wanderer When other children were asleep Our Oswald down the stairs would creep, And to the fields he'd steal away, Quite slyly by himself to play. Sometimes he took the powder-horn, And with the powder burnt the corn; Sometimes he hid behind a tree, And rushing out quite suddenly, Would make a loud and fearful cry, And frighten all the passers-by. Indeed, it was his chief delight To run away from home at night. His parents shook their heads, and said, “Oh, Oswald, stay at home in bed, For if you out at night do roam A bat you surely will become.” But all their talking was in vain; Still Oswald would go out again; But, oh! just as his friends had said, One night, as round the fields he sped, Upon him came a wondrous change; “Ah, me!” he cried, "How very strange! I feel that I become so small And now I cannot walk at all. I put my hands up to my head, But find a bat's face in its stead;- And now - my hands are gone. Oh dear! Instead of arms what have I here? Such very, very curious things. Why, can they be? Oh, yes, they're wings. Alas! Alas! What shall I do? My parents' words are coming true. An ugly bat I have become, And never more shall I go home.” Oh! yes, my dears, it was too true; An ugly bat away he flew; His parents' tears streamed down like rain; They never saw their child again. -From Struwwelpeter

wow, thats a cool and disturbing poem. So I guess its a metaphor for what Leo had become? I agree with the "best hair ever" sentiment. Hugh is ungodly do-able in that film.

boffle, I don't know the poems well enough to say if this is an original, but Leo almost certainly lived some version of the Struwwelpeter. And yes, the hair is off the hook , for HL anyway. :) I do remember "Little Suck-a-Thumb". A mysterious tailor with long scissors, snips off the thumbs of the guilty. When my brother took up the habit, we endured the French translation. That cured him alright. Otherwise, Mom terrorized us with the fables of Jean de La Fontaine. Thanks for that, sugarplum_pdx; I so enjoyed the clip - my favorite aspect of Fry & Laurie is the elaborate wordplay. I like that about House as well - he loves and uses language as a weapon, a shield, a toy. Not on the level of Fry & Laurie, but if the linguistic gymnastics went missing, the show would end for me. Oh, and I didn't feel sorry for HL for being on ITAS - he was surely familiar with the format. I said I found parts of it painful and invasive - because HE clearly found them painful and invasive. (My mother...er, no we didn't really reconcile before her death... trailing off) This is not the same as squirming, which can be funny and very endearing! I compare that to the Robin Williams segment - equally invasive, not at all painful. Williams has a totally different, open personality. He gleefully makes his foibles hilarious. My point is that an essential part of being in show business, to promote oneself, is inherently more uncomfortable for some individuals than others. Just because I sympathetically notice and appreciate the effort it can take doesn't mean I expect anyone else to. I just feel uncomfortable watching seemingly nice people suffer. YMMV. And an interview is not the same as being carpet bombed with what is none of our business. Doesn't matter who takes the photo, or scores the gossip. Public figures have a right to a private life, IMO. And private individuals should be more careful of theirs. HL deserves his privacy, and he may even need it more than others.

Was it perhaps this one? It was, in fact! Hey, a question, how do you get the poster's screen name into the quote box?
