His head came down and he kissed me gently at first and then harder, the touch of his lips very warm. Then he led me by the hand toward the canopied bed and lay me down on it and buried his face in the swell of my breasts where they showed above the stomacher that Anne had helpfully loosened for him.

The king stirred. “Are you awake?” he asked from half-under the covers.
“Yes,” I said, instantly alert. I wondered if I should offer to leave, but then he emerged head first from the tangle of bedding and his face was smiling.
“Good morrow, sweetheart,” he said to me. “Are you well this morning?”
I found I was beaming back at him, reflecting his joy. “I’m very well.”
“Merry in your heart?”
“Happier than I have ever been in my life before.”
“Then come to me,” he said, opening his arms, and I slid down the sheets and into the warm musky-scented embrace, his strong thighs pressing against me, his arms cradling my shoulder, his face burrowing into my neck.
“Oh Henry,” I said foolishly. “Oh, my love.”
“Oh I know,” he said engagingly. “Come a little closer.”

**MSFixR** · 07-29-2007, 02:48 PM

What is bizarre is that there is a novel based on the film (which hasn't been released yet) which is based on a novel.

aloha · 07-29-2007, 03:15 PM

well, yeah

New Art for 'The Other Boleyn Girl' with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman

Posted Aug 6th 20074:31PM by Chris Ullrich
Filed under: Drama, Romance, New Releases, Images
Perhaps I'm stating the obvious here, but in case there was ever any doubt Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman are both very beautiful women. In addition, they also have some pretty decent acting chops, particularly in the case of Portman. Although, with the right material and director, Johansson has been very good too. No matter what, in any movie they appear, from Revenge of the Sith to Match Point, their mere presence lights up the screen and in many cases makes some not-so-great movies very watchable.

So imagine my happiness when this new artwork for the movie The Other Boleyn Girl appeared over at Joblo today. Not only is Johansson in the film but Portman as well -- and there's a big picture of them from the film too. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the film. But in case you're not, here's a little info. This pic, based on the huge bestselling novel by Philippa Gregory, concerns the trials and tribulations of Mary Boleyn (played by Johannson), sister to the more famous Anne Boleyn (played by Portman) and her life and affairs with various kings, including François I of France and England's Henry VIII.

There is also a great deal of rivalry between the two sisters, especially when Anne becomes Queen and does all sorts of not-so-nice stuff to her sister. This all leads, as these stories often do, to tragedy. What that tragedy is and for the rest of their story, just go see the movie when it comes out in December. Both the novel and the film offer an interesting premise: the overlooked story of the more interesting sister to one of the most infamous Queens in history. A potentially interesting story indeed. Although, seeing as how both Johansson and Portman are in the film, the story probably isn't really so important.

thanks for the article Bill

Thank you for the update, Bill!

**MSFixR** · 08-11-2007, 09:08 AM

This is a bit off topic, but I thought some might be interested in it anyway.

The Golden Age, a film about Elizabeth I and her relationship to Sir Walter Raleigh will be released in the US on October 12th and later elsewhere. Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. It stars the incomparable Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth, Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh, Godffrey Rush, Abby Cornish, and Samantha Morton. More information here. View the trailer here.

**Bill5461** · 08-11-2007, 09:28 AM

Thanks for the head's up, my wife will really enjoy seeing it.

Mónica · 08-11-2007, 05:05 PM

Thankx, it's very informative!

I'm excited about the movie...

**Bill5461** · 08-15-2007, 08:49 AM

Well, it looks as if this movie's premiere is being pushed back too...To February 2008
