I have a few Face stills here It's my favourite RC movie, one of my favourite movies of all time and Ray is my favourite RC character. If I were playing "desert island movies" with Eli, it would be there.

I like the character of Ray and I don't think there's anyone else who could play it as well as RC does. When I was looking for a Face photo to post, I found a short review by someone who felt that RC was miscast because he is too sensitive an actor and appeared always to be about to cry. Heck! I think that's the very reason why he suits the role.

Spoiler:

The scenes in which he told Connie how he felt about her complimented his relationships with the men, especially Steve, because they demonstrate that Ray is at heart a very compassionate man. It's even evident when he shoots David. There's a sense of regret, but one that's coupled with responsibility and a need for simple, transparent justice. I think David even understood that.

And I REALLY like the scene when he had to ask his mom for money. That was poignant! Add to that also his reaction when he saw Bill and Linda dead. How many heroes would react by grieving as he did?

But at the end of the movie, do you believe that everything really will be all right?

By God, I do adore his long hair! *tries hard not to faint*

My favorite hairstyle is the one he sports in The Full Monty. I like the highlights and it's not too long and not too short. RC's hair is thin enough that sometimes the length just comes across as straggly. My husband wears his the same way. Unfortunately, he can't grow a beard as nice as RC's. Too much Native American in him!

I'm a receptionist for an attorney, who practices Family Law, Criminal Law, Personal Injuries and Bankruptcies.

Where within Louisiana do you live? My husband is from New Orleans.

Health care, I want to be a bioanalyst in the future. My latest fav piccie.

What does a bioanalyst do? (Great photo!)

I work with horses, so I don't have internet at work

What kind of work do you do with horses?

Still wondering why this scene was cut out, though.

Isn't this photo from "Faith?" In the show, he lies down on the bed facing away from the camera, so I just figured this was a publicity shot done deliberately different so they could have a shot with him open towards the camera.

I've only been in my current job for a couple of years and I teach kids of all ages, so it's not too overwhelming yet. Just a huge number of classes.

Some of them were from the original version of the site, some are caps I took, but the rest I just searched and searched and snurched. Some good snurching add-ons for Firefox helps

I taught literature and all its related subjects (Forensics, Drama, Yearbook, Photography, TV Production, Creative Writing, etc.) and levels (IB, AP, Sp Ed, Honors, etc.) to grades 7-12 over the years. I met my husband while teaching. He's also an English teacher and this is his 32nd year of teaching! Do you teach literature or EFL? Aren't you in Australia? What's the school system like? Is it the same as what's in England with A levels and the like?

Have you ever taught World Literature? If so, consider using the works of Joseph Campbell. When you examine the hero's quest and the archetypes, Stargate fits in so beautifully! When I used it the last time, it was really hard not to keep mentioning SG over and over again! It was made more difficult because most of my students have never been big sci-fi fans and didn't know SG to begin with. Can you imagine?!

I'll have to try Firefox! Thanks!

And is there something in the water? Do you realize that we've made more than a 100 posts in less than 24 hours?

I agree, all the pretty RC pics made us really chatty

Oh wow, really? That's awesome. I live maybe an hour or so away from New Orleans, in a little town called "Prairieville"

@ all: my shift is over, time to go home. It's been really nice talking to you!

He knows of it. Says he thinks it's to the northwest as you head up to Baton Rouge?

Good night! Sweet RC dreams!

He would be correct, I'm like 15 or so minutes away from Baton Rouge (or the Mall of Louisiana, if you will)

Sorry for disappearing without saying goodnight! Family drama

ITA. RC is absolutely perfect for Ray because of his sensitivity!

Spoiler:

His relationships with the people outside the gang are in stark contrast to his professional face, which is what makes him such a complex character. Especially his need to care for Stevie, which is quite heartbreaking. I also loved when he apologised to his Mum.

I appreciate the lack of closure at the end - I'd like to think that they find their way safely to a new life, but I'm an optimist. If you haven't read Ellie's fic about that, you should. It's excellent!

I teach EFL at a private English language school - I'm Australian, but I live in Geneva, Switzerland. The kids here study English at school, but there are loads of families who want them to do more so we start from 2 1/2 year olds and teach them right up to the Cambridge Certificate levels as teens.

Hair... I don't think he's ever had a hairstyle that I have disliked, but when he was younger he looked absolutely gorgeous with really short hair.

If you're in Germany (I think you are, aren't you?) be careful with the films fro Amazon. Especially with "Face", I accidentally bought a german version only, but I saw it too late, grrrh, the film was still good, but half of the fun was gone. In between I look twice before I buy any film here.

Yes, I am. But I'll buy them at amazon uk, even with the postage it's cheaper. I've bought 'Hamish' and 'Doctor Who' there too.

@ kansaikimono:
Beside of lots of other work in the stables I make physiotherapy for horses. You can see it here, only in German, but there's a diashow where you can see a bit of my work:

I'll have to see if I can get my tape of Safe from Australia and have it converted for sharing... could take a while. He didn't have a big part but was amazing in it!

I'll pick it up for you ...

I wouldn't called Ravenous "horror" in the same way as 28 Week Later... it's more a Western with horror themes.

Ravenous isn't a horror film; it's a black comedy.

[Lahela]

I'll pick it up for you ...

If I can convince my sister to brave the spiders in my mother's garage to search for it, I'll let you know.
