Random Obession: King Henry VIII and The Tudor Era


I know this sounds crazy, but I’ll explain… For a while I’ve been curious about Showtime’s “The Tudors”, secretly because I have a large crush on the actor that plays Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). I’ve heard it was “just ok”, but I decided to give it an episode or two to see for myself. I was immediately hooked. I watched episodes whenever I could, which wasn’t very often. Angel had no interest, and it’s definitely not a show for Sonja. It got to a point where I just couldn’t wait between episodes anymore. I finally stayed up all night watching practically the entire 2nd season! By the time it was over, I was completely mesmerized. I continued to look online for more about King Henry and his six wives. Then I got into Queen Elizabeth, and now I want to learn all about her! My Netflix account is full of movies and documentaries about the Tudor era. It kind of spoiled the story as far as the show is concerned, but I couldn’t help myself. I’ve had dreams about it and everything. Obsess much? What will be next, Daniel Boone? Make a movie about him starring a hot actor and I’ll be all over it.

rickey1Hey Jess. I am or more was tottally obsessed with the whole story of Henery the 8th. Never really got into "The Tudors" but I've read like 100 books on it. You may want to read The Other Bolyn Girl. It is a great book, Fiction mostly but based on the relationship Henerey had with Mary Bolyn before her sister married him. If you want to. Love ya, Brooke
