Great, I may never be able to watch that movie again without thinking of Alex. That may not be such a bad thing, but still....

Perhaps you can be his Fraulein Maria & teach Friedrich a lesson? Or maybe you can be Liesel & He can be Rolf & you can kiss in the gazebo after it starts raining... For me he can be the Captain & I'll be Fraulein Maria & we can figure out ways to discipline me when I disobey his "rules"

And a little more than kissing goes on in that gazebo. Hell why keep it to the gazebo have some hot monkey lovins with ASkars in the rain. From there we venture into The Notebook where Alex all hot, wet & shirtless is carrying you (or me in my mind lol) up the stairs and along the way you bump into a few walls while he holds you & you've got your legs around him.

It's a bit heavy on cheese but I liked it (I'm a huge fan of the book). Well now that you mention TSoM being turned into a porn take the title for instance the sound of music could mean lots of things *insert cheesy 70's porn music* or whatever you think music would be lol.

It's a good thing I'm off to my dance class now, because I can disguise my reddened face and being out of breath as a good workout.
As opposed to the other kind of workout you have planned for Alex and me.

He saved a young boys life a few years back. I found this article over at IMDB.
Skarsgård saved a supporter
Movie star AS is called a hero after derby riots. According to several witnesses he risked his own safety to help a beat down supporter. "It was scary, he was unconcious(or similar)", says AS. The actor AS was in the middle of the worst riots on the arena's north side. "It was a heated atmosphere. Too bad it gets this way." According to several witnesses what AS did was heroic. The 30-year old actor risked his own safety when he during the heated riot went to call on the on-site ambulance personnel to help a beated down supporter. "The guy had received a punch/hit and got a concussion. It was scary, he was gone/unconcious. He was damn young aswell, only 15." Do you know what happened to him later on? "He's okay. My little sister (14 years old) knows him so I know how he's doing." AS says the incident doesn't change his feelings about cheering for Hammarby in arenas in the future. "No, I won't stop standing in the arena cheering. I don't think running away from the problem will change anything, it's probably better if there's some older "uncles" there like me.

You have to scroll down a bit but there's an interviews with ASkars that he did with a media outlet back in Sweden (but it's translated into English for this). Look for "You Can't Play Sexy" skarsgardfans.wordpress.com/Or if you are too lazy then I'll just copy & paste (but the picture accompanying the article is worth a look at lol). “You can’t play sexy” Alexander Skarsgård holds back on the vanity in “TrueBlood” On Wednesday, SVT will start airing the vampire series that has made Alexander Skarsgård a sex symbol in the US. During pre-launch of True Blood, Nöjesbladet got the chance to talk to the Swede in Hollywood. “My parents complain of the lack of nudity in the show”, says Alexander Skarsgård. That’s the exact opposite of the reaction in the US, where the nudity content is especially noted. Alexander’s comment makes his co-worker, Nelsan Ellis who plays Lafayette Reynolds, react: “Really? Wow”. Skarsgård explains himself: “My parents are old hippies”, but Ellis isn’t satisfied with the explanation. Alexander Skarsgård continues: “You know, my father works in Europe and grew up in a different culture. He became very upset because nudity was censored, but not violent and bloody scenes. That it was appropriate for kids, but not boobs (or even more).” AS continues: “Now he (Stellan) just says “Finally” (laughs). Stellan’s opinion: “This is the way we’re created. It’s beautiful. What’s wrong with that?’” Those of you who want to see the younger generation of Skarsgård (turning 33 on Tuesday) undressed will have to be patient. In the first season he appears in only 7 episodes. In season 2 the Scandinavian vampire gets a bigger role. Eric Northman, blossoms. “In the beginning I was mostly the mean vampire leader telling others what to do. In season 2 I become more personal. That pleases me. After season 1, people said ‘Oh, you’re the mean guy, the cool vampire.’ But I don’t see it so black and white. Season 2 shows many more sides of Eric.” Falling in love with a vampire The story centers around Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a barmaid in Louisiana whose life turns upside down when she falls in love with the vampire Bill (Stephen Moyer). The series makes Alexander Skarsgård, who’s been voted Sweden’s sexiest man, closer to conquering an equivalent title in the US. He’s already popular in a reader’s poll Entertainment Weekly made. “You can not act sexy” He denies that he deliberately would make himself sexy in ‘True blood’. “You can not play sexy. It would be ridiculous. If you think about it while filming it’s distracting. – I hate vain actors. You just have to try to be present in the moment. You can not think about how your hair looks.

This was translated from Swedish (not by me - the only Swedish word I only know is "tak" and I think I'm spelling that the Norwegian way rather than Swedish), and it's a pretty interesting article from around the time he was promoting Gen Kill: www.ericnorthman.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&p=4089

9 Fun facts about ASkars... www.alexskarsgard.net/wordpress/?p=2757 (go to the site to see a funny as hell gif from Zoolander but remade with Sookie, Pam & Bill) Blood, vampire, video, Zoolander If we’ve learned anything from Lost and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it’s that the blond bad boy always comes out ahead in a genre love triangle. Perhaps, then, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Alexander Skarsgård popped this summer as True Blood’s insinuating (but crucially restyled) vampire sheriff Eric Northman; to judge from the fan worship thrown his way online and at Comic-Con, I’m sure that Sookie’s not the only one fantasizing about him. Good thing that Movieline’s a font of Skars-knowledge! Here are nine facts that should help you appreciate this 33-year-old Swedish “newcomer” even more: 1. In his first U.S. role, he played one of the ill-fated male model roommates in Zoolander. For the denizens of ONTD, who love Skarsgård and (in equal measure) making animated .gifs with heads pasted over the Zoolander “Jitterbug” sequence, the discovery was mindblowing: A True Blood “Jitterbug” .gif could be made that Skarsgård was already in! 2. He is the son of actor Stellan Skarsgård, who you may remember as the professor from Good Will Hunting. (No doubt, he’d rather you remember him from that than for his role as one of the potential fathers from Mamma Mia!) 3. Skarsgård rocketed to Swedish stardom at age 13 with his role as “Jojjo” in Hunden som log (The Dog Who Smiled). What’s it about? Take it away, IMDb commenter Pamela from Malmö, Sweden: “[It] is about this boy Jojjo and his friends a blond male sexmaniac and a girl called Peggy. They travel town…goes to school sometimes, entertain themselves by switching mail between mailboxes and just chill. Jojjo’s dog is getting old and one day bites Jojjo that gets really sad. This is quite hard to explain been a while since I saw it and it hasn’t been on TV for a while.” Sounds amazing! 4. Perhaps you’ve YouTubed his (surprisingly SFW) shower scene with two other men in the Swedish film Hundtricket? Incoming vampire queen Evan Rachel Wood certainly has! “I am not going to lie,” she told E! when asked. “Yes I have.” 5. Skarsgård was heavily tipped to be in the running for the title role in Marvel’s Thor, and met several times with director Kenneth Branagh and Marvel head Kevin Feige, even going so far as to try on the costume for a screen test. Sadly, the role went to Chris Hemsworth. MTV reporter Larry Carroll recently told Skarsgård he was surprised by the outcome, as he thought Skarsgård had the perfect look for Thor; the Swede responded simply, “So did I.” 6. Still, at least we can all agree that Skarsgård had the perfect look to play a suicidal trannie in the straight-to-DVD film Kill Your Darlings (at right). 7. Skarsgård’s U.S. career began to take off when he developed a relationship with HBO during the 2008 miniseries Generation Kill, where he played Iraq War sergeant Brad ‘Iceman’ Colbert. The network added him as a recurring character almost halfway into True Blood’s first season, then upped him to a regular for season two. 8. Don’t be fooled if you hear Skarsgård talking in a Southern accent (as he did during the True Blood panel at Comic-Con). He’s just prepping for his role in Rod Lurie’s upcoming Straw Dogs remake, where he plays a Southern jock who has a past with James Marsden’s wife, Kate Bosworth. 9. When Skarsgård moved to New York to study acting, he rented a room from a 55-year-old Filipino fashion designer named René. (Who hasn’t!) “Once when I got home and sat down to study he told me I looked tense and he wanted to give me a massage,” Skarsgård recalled once. “I just couldn’t stop laughing. He knew I was straight, but he was trying again and again. I told him: ‘René, please. I will not suck your dick, you know this.’”
