Mr.Picard 12 Posted July 2, 2011 I took a few screencaps yesterday - from an old movie called "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" in which Sir Patrick played Karla, the main villain who never says anything. Here are a few pictures: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Picard 12 Posted July 15, 2011 Sir Patrick talks about the upcoming movie "Dorothy Of Oz" and his character in this funny little video here. My favorite scene is the one in which he remarks that the way the character he's voicing looks reminds him of how he himself looks first thing in the morning. :lol: Screencap: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Sir Patrick is in Huddersfield today, performing his duty as Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.

Mr.Picard 12 Posted July 20, 2011 Now that is one colorful outfit. Yes it is indeed, lol. But that's a traditional robe for a university in England, so... News: Sir Patrick speaks out against high tuition fees over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted July 24, 2011 Sir Patrick attended the San Diego Comic Con a few hours ago. A picture can be found over here. He got one rather direct question that made me laugh and that I cannot repeat here because it's a family board, someone got him a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY song (see video below) and he once more said something that's SO typical for him that I need to quote it here: "First of all, can I just point out that I'm a Broadway girl too?" And now the video I promised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPSe5A1nnAg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted July 25, 2011 If it is the one question I read, it was in very poor taste to blurt that out. Regardless of what he thought of Patrick Stewart it was so disrespectfull to him (Patrick Stewart) as a person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of what he thought of Patrick Stewart it was so disrespectfull to him (Patrick Stewart) as a person. Yeah that's the question I didn't want to post. I'm - obviously - quite biased on that one, though. Sure it's not wise to ask him such a thing in front of so many people... on the other hand, it takes a lot of guts to do it. I do love his "polite silence". I would have to see a video in order to determine if he was amused or offended. (My guess would be amused, but then, I don't know the context in which the question was asked.)

Bethlehem 7 Posted July 26, 2011 To be sure I would have felt the same way had a female blurted out something simular. I think sometimes it takes more guts to respect the person and the situation, than give in to your own wants and desires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I meant with biased. It's just easier for me to put myself into a gay guy's shoes. But yeah. It wasn't very wise to do something like that in the first place. I know.

Mr.Picard 12 Posted August 13, 2011 Sir Patrick & LeVar Burton are apparently having a lot of fun (at least according to LeVar himself) in Chicago. They're there for a convention and they also decided to check out Chicago's night life, it seems. Proof: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted August 14, 2011 Hangover, eh? He was definitely not very happy about LeVar's picture enthusiasm yesterday morning. (Source.) He also - of course - held a Q&A session at the Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago, along with his son, Daniel. Here he talks about TNG and falling asleep on the set.
