Posted: 4/1/08 at 9:57pm
SO. I have pretty much been in love with Jim Sturgess since the very first time I started listening to the Across The Universe soundtrack. Then I actually finally SAW Across The Universe, and it only solidified my love for him all the more. Last night I saw The Other Boleyn Girl, and I was pretty much amazed at the fact that he took... oh, about 15 minutes of screentime maybe (if even that).. and made George one of the most memorable characters in the movie. I've not seen 21 yet, but I shall be seeing it as soon as it comes to a theater near me, and I have no doubt that I will love him in that too!
So basically, I know I can't be the only one who thinks that this adorable man is one of the very best young up and coming actors right now 
And what really impresses me is that it doesn't seem like he has done a whole lot of acting before! The impression I get is that he's mostly a musician, which shows because he has a fantastic, GORGEOUS voice. But he's also a REALLY fierce actor. REALLY fierce. As in... if he keeps doin' what he's been doing and keeps and growing even more, he's surely got an Oscar in his future.
So, anyone else care to join me in spreading the Jim love? :)

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Me and all my friends love him! My best friend hadn't heard of of him, so I told her to watch Across the Universe.... 5 minuets after I told her to watch the movie she calls me and says "Oh. MY. GOODNESS. Where can I get one?!"
Yeah, he's pretty easy on the eyes and ears ;-P

I went to a Beatlefest with my mom this past weekend, and some of the cast from Across the Universe were there for a Q&A session. Obviously, Jim was not there due to scheduling but everyone was talking about how dishelved he was. 
(In a good way, of course). They played a clip of him and Evan Rachel Wood singing "Ticket to Ride" and I swear I have never heard so much squealing in my life! All the little teenyboppers were going bonkers. I can't blame them, I guess, as he is very adorable.

Posted: 4/2/08 at 2:31pmHe certainly is. He just has that screen presence, it can't be learned...
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

Posted: 4/2/08 at 2:53pmI thought Across the Universe was heinous, but he was terrific. Equally good in 21. He has it all: looks, charisma, talent... He deserves to be a star.

I DEFINITELY appreciate him.
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

Posted: 4/3/08 at 11:59amI appreciate. I've only seen him in 21, but he was excellent. A great actor, a likeable every-guy type, and cute to boot.
