Smitten on Saturday (002)

Smitten on Saturday is hosted by fellow blogger and friend, Amanda at Another Book Junkie. You find your favorite book to tv or movie character you're smitten with and talk about him/her. It doesn't have to be some hot hunk...just someone who's close to your heart! (Amanda may not be doing one this week. Today is her daughter's birthday party...so she's being a busy mama. And I should be getting ready for that. lol)

This week I've chosen :

Duke Crocker!!

Duke Crocker is played by Eric Balfour in the SyFy show, Haven. The show is set in gorgeous Maine and based on the Stephen King novel called The Colorado Kid. I love SciFi shows and this is quickly growing to become one of my favorites. (*crosses fingers for a second season*)

Everytime I see Duke in the show I think "why the long face..." (sooo funny...not...lol). But I love Duke and his arrogant attitude. He's one of my favorite things about the show. He usually has the comedic one-liners throughout but he knows how to be deep and heartfelt.

Eric Balfour is a sweetie to, as I've learned from his twitter: @ERICBALFOUR. So follow him & show him love! :) He's trying to reach 10,000 followers for a special donation!

P.S. Haven is on the SyFy channel every Friday at 9/8c. Next Friday is the season finale...and I'm hoping it's picked up for another season. Check it out & tell me what you think.

(you can make that picture your wallpaper.)

Who are you smitten with this Saturday!?

Smitten on Saturday (001)

Smitten on Saturday is hosted by fellow blogger and friend, Amanda at Another Book Junkie. You find your favorite book to tv or movie character you're smitten with and talk about him/her. It doesn't have to be some hot hunk...just someone who's close to your heart!

This week I've chosen :

Noah Calhoun!!

He's from the book The Notebook by: Nicholas Sparks. And the movie adaptation of the same name....as if you didn't already know that!
It has been awhile since I've read the book, but there are parts I do remember.
I loved that Noah never wanted to give up on Allie, because he knew their love was real.
The movie is one of my favorite movies...ever. I watch it at lease once a week.
Both Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling did an amazing job in the movie, sometimes I still get choked up watching.

Fave quote from the movie: "Well, that's what we do, we fight. You tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass. Which you are. 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have, like a two second rebound rate and you're back doing the next pain in the ass thing."
"So, what?"
"So it's not going to be easy, it's going to be really hard. And we're gonna have to work at this every day. But I want to do that, 'cause I want you. I want all of you, forever...you and me...everyday."

And yes, that is from memory! The entire scene is in the youtube video here. But that actual line doesn't start until about 1:15 into the video.
