The Tudors on Showtime in Demand
If you have Showtime on Demand you can watch the first two episodes. I watched the first one and thought it was pretty good so far...I never thought Jonathan Rhys Meyers was anything special, but something about him in the role...he's pretty hot!!

I think its also online and you can watch it and make your decision. I thought it was good, but I only saw one episode, so I don't want to steer you either way... It was good but I don't know if it's $10 a month extra good!!

LOL - I'm really excited for it too! Luckily it starts next week 
I never thought anything of JRM - he looks very effeminate to me (and that came out in that one scene in the preview that shows him running  ) but otherwise, he looks pretty hot in this.
I'm a litle perturbed that they're messing with the timeline of Henry the VIII's life. The time he was with Anne Boleyn he was not this strapping, young man - he was in his 40s (which was pretty old back then) just ~10 years before his death.

Well, him and Anne began whatever their relationship was-- like 6 years before they were even married. I believe it was during this time that he started to deteriorate. And he was pretty "godly" up til his late 30's or so-- I think he was on a downward spiral and got worse pretty quickly-- syphilis will do that to you I guess.
And JRM-- yes please!!!!

Re: The Tudors on Showtime in Demand
Syphilis? I thought it was just from that horse injury to his leg......
OK, so he was ~36 when they started their affair...and JRM is almost 30...I guess. I just don't see it based on photos I've seen of Henry VIII

He was very charismatic and handsome... He was like the Brad Pitt of his day-- women everywhere swooned for him, etc. He was extremely tall- and towered over everyone. He just had presence.
I think the thing on his leg was all tied into the disgusting diseases that he had-- I am sure he must have had gout too--

Yes...and I still don't see it JRM is under 6'...not to mention a brunette! LOL
I just hope they stick to history and don't make it loosely based and all about sex. (Forgive me, I've been on a Tudor kick for some time now - mostly b/c of Elizabeth I - so I'm probably looking too far into it  )

Me too-- Henry was all about sex!!
Anyway-- I saw a first look about it-- and while he is not "conventionally Henry"-- it's about him capturing the essence of him... not necessarily looking like him.

Re: The Tudors on Showtime in Demand
After reading The Other Boleyn Girl as well as a few of the other books, I cannot wait to see the show, we got Showtime because of it.
I think JRM will be good in the show, but I cannot wait to see Eric Bana as Henry the VIII in the Bolyen Girl movie..THAT's how I'd picture Henry, yummy.....
