Well, hello, college fund!

Patty, that's great! I've never heard of the show.
Your daughter looks so cute!
I did not recognize your son, he looks so different than the last pic I remember seeing of him - he did really well!

btw, your times don't match with mine when I played it - but that just means I saw more of it.
Not a series I would watch, but it's cool to see your kids! Hopefully, he didn't have any nightmares after that...

And, hey, this deserved its own thread!

Geez how far off were my times I had to watch it several times to try and get it right lol

[Patty Smyth]

By the way I had never heard of the show either but apparently it has been filming here for 4 years lol

Look for Kevin next summer in a non-speaking role in X-Men Apocalypse - if he made the cut

This type of work pretty much pays a bit over minimum wage but they had fun doing it.

Saskatchewan's Isaiah Tootoosis, 8, debuts in film with Leonardo DiCaprio




at the premiere in LA



Tootoosis performs the role of Hawk, son of the movie's main character Hugh Glass played by DiCaprio.

While his film father is the famous actor DiCaprio, in real life Isaiah is the great-grandson of two notable Saskatchewan figures: Gordon Tootoosis, a legendary aboriginal actor (best known for North of 60 and Legends of the Fall); and Fred Sasakamoose, the trail-blazing aboriginal NHL player.

Isaiah said he felt a bit famous after his kookum (grandmother) asked for his autograph.

While Isaiah's screen time is relatively brief, his role in the story is pivotal.
"Isaiah plays the younger version of Hugh Glass's son, Hawk, and they have a very close, very meaningful relationship. And what happens to Hawk in the film is critical," film critic Eli Glasner told CBC News. "Although his screen time is not that much, it's very powerful stuff."
Glasner said director Alejandro Iñárritu has described the film as being centred around a father's relationship to his son.
"This is movie about a father's love," Glasner said. "And when we have those flashbacks to see young Hawk, played by Isaiah, that's where that story begins. So it's a very critical part, I'd say."

He's adorable!
I've been looking forward to seeing that movie since I first heard about it several months ago.

[Natalka]

I heard him interviewed on the radio last night, he's so sweet and all excited about having his friends go with him to the city to see the movie with him. He had already seen it at the premiere.

I thought there was a Vikings TV Show thread? Anyways in case anyone doesn't know Josh Donaldson ( yes dreamy Blue jays 3rd baseman and MVP ) is doing an episode of Vikings!! He is a huge fan of the show it seems.

http://globalnews.ca/news/2468906/jo...kings-episode/

The two-time All-Star is heading to Ireland this week to film an episode of Vikings in which he will play Hoskuld, a skilled Viking warrior. The episode is set to air later this year as part of the History hit’s fourth season.

I'll tune in!!

[GoJays]

So that's why he was getting a Viking 'do last year...

[Natalka]

^ He has thicker and nicer hair on that 1/3 of his head than I do on my whole head! Gah!
And his eyes, he's so dreamy! Gee, maybe I should start watching baseball!

[GoJays]

no no, that ain't him from the front.. that's just some viking actor guy.. they're comparing hair styles... but yeah, that guy's eyes are rather mesmerizing aren't they? His character is Ragnar Lothbrok, real name Travis Fimmel. Here are the other eyes...



bleh, i don't like that hair
but yes, you should start watching baseball!!
