I love, love, loved this movie.

The music, the scenery, Simone's bare back, the romantic story, the accents, Simone's bare back--it was all great.

I even had to make use of the English subtitles, because some of the accents were really hard to understand-Simone's especially. Sometimes it didn't seem possible that what she said and what the subtitles said were the same. By the way, no f-words were mentioned.

I just ordered the DVD of this movie from Amazon UK, so I'm glad to hear its good (I was hoping it was just decent, so good is even better!). I'll post my thoughts once I've gotten to watch it (probably not for at least a week, if not two, depending on shipping).

Can I just say, Amazon UK is fast! My Heartless dvd just arrived--whoohoo! I'm watching tonight. Monarch of the Glen will just have to wait. Although I am sure I could squeeze both in if I had to....

Double-posting, because now I've actually watched this movie, and it was quite good! Good off-kilter sense of humor, fairly charming characters. Overall enjoyable. Its also the first time I've seen Simone kiss anyone outside of BG, and I gotta say, she just does not have chemistry with male actors the way she does with Mandana Jones.

Also, does anyone know if she was pregnant during the filming of this? Because she just seemed, so, well, voluptuous. I mean, this was the first time I had seen her in a bra, but still! I was drooling rather uncontrollably. I tried to do some screen caps but failed miserably. I'll try later and if I manage it, I'll post them in the naked Helen thread.

.

I've wondered that myself, but after careful research , don't think it's true.

Here are some facts--

1. MOTG filmed through Sept.

2. Simone went right from filming MOTG to Heartless

3. She got pregnant in late Dec.

4. Parts of Heartless were filmed on the Isle of Skye

5. Simone's daughter is named Skye


I don't know how long it took to film Heartless, but I doubt it was two months. Maybe she just gained a little weight--it sure looked good on her!!

Flawlessly reasoned. Thank you, detective. :)

Now, I have to get this dvd. A lovely friend burned season 6 of Monarch for me. And am looking SO forward to Wire in the Blood (very big here on BBC-A, and I've been a Robson Green fan for ages as well). Are any of the other series Simone has done available on dvd?

I've become such a fan watching Helen Stewart. And the scots accent has left me quite vulnerable I'm afraid. <G>

I'm waiting on my copy of Heartless as well, ordered it two weeks ago from Amazon. Are you saying Wire in the Blood is on BBCA? Are they current or years behind like BG's?

Well...how long has Wire been going? I thought it had only been a few yrs. (since Robson Green was doing the riveting "Touching Evil" before that and before it was killed by being bought, like "Cracker" e.g., and turned into an american version which didn't last long at all.) I kind of think it's current, but am not sure, I don't get BBC on my cable service. PBS is way behind in showing "Monarch of the Glen," but I believe BBC-A was pretty much up to date with that from what I've heard. I'm surprised "Bad Girls" wasn't picked up by american tv before this (A&E runs Spooks)--how long now before we get a watered down american version? I kind of shudder to think about it.

I just got done watching Heartless and very much enjoyed it. Besides the obvious reason I enjoyed it, I thought Amanda's mother-in-law was awesome.

While watching some of the music scenes it kind of reminded me of a movie I once stumbled upon on HBO which I had never heard of before, but I couldn't turn off. It's called Songcatcher. Has anyone ever seen it? I thought it was very well done. It is set in Appalachia, where a college professor of musicology goes to study the Scots-Irish mountain music that had endured there for years. Aidan Quinn was in it and it even had a little lesbian story line included.

I loved this movie. I even bought the soundtrack, which is spectacular. And the lesbian storyline was so unexpected, so it was a real treat. Definitely rent it if you have a chance.

Wire in the Blood is currently in production on the 4th series...according to Robson's site, it's likely to be broadcast in the UK later in the Spring...which means that we won't likely see it on BBCA until Summer or Fall.

BBCA has only broadcast up through Series 6 of MotG....Series 7 is scheduled for September 2006.

And...Bad Girls has been licensed for production here in the US....though I can't for the life of me see how anyone could do it justice. It would be simply impossible to recreate the chemistry that Simone and Mandana had.

As for why it BG hasn't been picked up by another channel before now? Uh...I'd venture to say that they reasons why we're all so crazy about it, are the exact same reasons why it hasn't been picked up before now. US television hasn't exactly been kind or welcoming to gay and lesbian characters and story lines, with the exception of pay cable like HBO and Showtime...and they're more likely to create their own versions as Showtime did with Queer As Folk.

As for A&E and Spooks....they seem to have gone toward more reality based programming....and I haven't the slightest idea when, if ever, we'll see Series 4 of Spooks on A&E. It's a shame really, as A&E co-produces the series...and I thought the 4th was just as good, if not better than any of the previous 3.

And just so I don't go completely off-topic. I just saw Heartless...and I really enjoyed it. I thought it to be a lovely fluffy little love story....and the Scottish countryside seems to play almost as big a part as either Simone or Angus.

Getting back to Heartless

Is there a traditional aspect of the balloon release (at both the dad's funeral and mom's remarriage) and the one glass of champagne (at the wedding)??

I get the symbolism of it, just wondered if it's traditional.

Thanks for recommending this. I just checked it out of the library yesterday. It seems a bit of a lesbian project all around. There are several actresses in the film who also happen to be gay, two of whom I met when I worked in NYC.

I finally watched my copy of Heartless and ended up liking it more than I thought like most of you all.

Of course, with Simone looking so good it would be hard not to like the film. I thought her acting was very good. She is so good at the smoldering, controlled emotion thing. Not as good, IMO, when she has to let loose like the scene where she gets hysterical after Harry tells her that he has her husband's heart. Here some other observations:

Her youngest boy, Sean, was so darn cute and charismatic. He was good enough so you hardly noticed he never said anything. Of course, the payoff was good when he finally told Harry to "Bugger off"

Can Scotland always look as good? How beautiful it all was.

I def. had to suspend belief that Amanda could fall for Harry so quickly (he was there, what...4 or 5 days?) and within months of her husband dying. I know Angus is not my type, but really?

Simone has very lesbian hands.
http://www.curvemag.com/Detailed/51.html

I liked how Simone was so unglam, seemed to make sense in this little town. But I still had to laugh at her stromping around in those boots when Harry first sees her and those green socks she wore around the house.

One of my favorite scenes was when Amanda asked if Harry was married. I liked how Simone did the whole raised eyebrow thing and eyeroll. How their argument continued as they brushed teeth and undressed for bed. I agree with abzug that Simone was deliciously voluptous...too bad they stayed pretty tight on her face in that scene.

I loved how Simone looked lying on the ground looking up at the sky. So gorgeous. And don't forget to "mind the ditch"

All in all, a great film for Simone fans IMO and an entertaining one for everyone else.

I received a copy of this dvd, last week from a VERY good friend
I loved everything about it!
The story was brilliant, funny and touching at the same time, the Scottish scenery was breathtaking, the two little boys who played the parts of Amanda's sons were just too cute for words, and as for Simone herself !!!!!! what else is there to say!!!!!

And of course there was Angus Deayton, but the less said about him the better....... I do however had to admit he played his part very well!

So thanks once again to the extremely nice person who sent it to me

i also loved this film, i was surprised at angus' actin, he was a lot better than i expected.

Simone was absolutely breathtakin the lookin up at the sky smile, the pink dress (yes i did say pink i hate the colour but all of a sudden have become a fan of it), i loved the jimjam's rain coat & wellies, Oh & the weddin dress im lost 4 words.

The boys names made me laugh, but Sean tellin angus 2 'bugger off' had me giggling.

There is so much 2 like about it & oh yea the green dressin gown

lmao told ya!!!

I was wondering if someone has a screencapture of Simone/Amanda lying on the ground, looking up at the sky? (I know it was on Simone's main site)
I watched Heartless yesterday on Belgian TV and really loved that scene. I think Amanda is the kind of girl I would fall in love with :wub:

I have Heartless caps online. They're at http://invisible-hush.org/fandom/heartless...start=0&end=214

:D

Now that I've been to Scotland, I really want to watch this movie again. Not that I was way up in the Isle of Skye, but I did fall in love with the countryside a little further south, and the people are just generally warm, down to earth and fun to be around. Everyone should go visit!

Great site! Thanks :kiss1

Hey guys.. I cap'd some clips from heartless.. if you have any requests let me know! I thought the movie was a wee hoaky at times but a decent movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4kMRHgPhfw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdGfZZXXrYE

I finally watched Heartless last night. But then, my DVD stopped near the end so I never saw the ending :(

I've got a faulty DVD; when Harry had his crash, the DVD went back to the main menu. So I'm gonna have to get a new one to see the ending.

But what I did see, I think it's brilliant. Simone's acting is fantastic. We never really saw that emotional side of her in BG. The only time Helen really cried was after her break up with Sean, and then watching Nikki on TV. But she was pretty much alone in both of those scenes and in Heartless we see her interact with others and showing a lot of emotion.

Also, did anyone else think it was a bit weird that Amanda's sons were Sean and Thomas (Helen's two boyfriends in BG). Maybe Simone really likes those two names!

Aww! Thats too bad Lisa!! :huh: If you want I can make a clip of the end for you!

I still cant get used to the dark hair :-) I like it.. but cant get used to it! I did like like seeing a bit of change from the Helen! I didnt like the emotional crying though! I didnt think it sounded quite right. I do think the best performance Ive seen by her was from Long Haul.

I did find it quite amusing about her boys names! Wasnt her mother in laws name Jean?

Thanks Avalon, that's be great if you could do that for me. I saw it up until Harry fell off his bike.

I thought her mother-in-law's name was Jane.

I love "Heartless" - such a beautiful film. And the scenery of the Isle of Skye was a character as much as Amanda and Harry.

And the Isle of Skye is as beautiful as it's shown. I was there the beginning of June and absolutely fantastic. And the people are so warm and generous.

Here are some pictures I took from The Isle of Skye, and one from Eilean Donan Castle with Skye in the backdrop.

Isle of Skye - Fairy Glen 01
Isle of Skye - Fairy Glen 2

View from Eilean Donan Castle - Isle of Skye in background
Falls at Kilt Rock, Isle of Skye
View from Ruins of Duntulum Castle, Isle of Skye

Wow, those photos are fantastic. I wish I had made it that far north when I was in Scotland. I guess I'll just have to make another trip!

Ok, I've seen the ending now! Thanks to Avalon :hug2


Yes, sorry, Amanda's mother-in-law was Jean, not Jane. Now I've seen the ending, I've seen the "In memory of" card.

I don't think Simone had as much chemistry with Angus Deaton as she did with Mandana Jones. When they kissed at the wedding, it didn't seem that real. In BG, the kisses with Mandana seemed to just happen, but with Angus it looked kind of....forced. If that makes any sense at all! I've confused myself here, so how any of you are meant to make sense of it is beyond me!

But all in all, I think it was a good film. Not great, but watchable.

I found it quite amusing her sons names were Sean & Thomas too, I wonder if that was just in the script, or it was delibertaely put in to be slightly i dont humorous?

Like I said before, maybe Simone really likes the two names. But then again, maybe it's just a huge coincedence!

ATTENTION all Aussie QLD fans!!!

Heartless is showing tonight at 9.30pm on channel 7!!!!

That's less than and hour's time.

OMG and to think I nearly missed this one! I have the DVD recorder primed and ready to go!


Oooops, they got the time wrong on the Courier Mail TV guide, it's meant to be 8.30, so it's starting now, gotta go............

Wow, we both totally loved this movie.

Nice to see Simone in a more 'homely' role and a bit more light-hearted but agree there wasn't as much chemistry as with Nikki in BG.

Loved her green socks.
Loved the scene where she serves up fried fish for breaky and the dog whimpers and leaves the table, and when she says 'mind the ditch' then he just dissapears!
Also loved the shot where she's laying back on the rocks and its raining.

Hi all you Kiwis out there.

Just read in the new TV Guide that Heartless is going to be on TV1 Saturday Sept 30th at 10.30pm.

Ive not seen this so am looking froward to it :D

wow

just got my copy of heartless!!!


She does the tongue thing :wub: :wub: :wub:



LOVE IT Well Simone

I love heartless!

what tongue thing?

OMG Havnt you noticed how Simone does this thing with her tongue. Its really cute.
She sticks her tongue against the back of her teeth when she smiles.

2 pic from heartless



i will try and download some from bg also

Here's another one :

I really hadn't but I so will now!

Simone and the tongue thing from bg.

mandanas not the onlyone with a nice back.

Just speculating here but I think she may have started doing the tongue behind the teeth thing when she smiled to help disguise a gap in her teeth on her top left side. If you look at the pic in BG where shes's talking to Nikki in the library you can see it, but she's obviously had it fixed because the gap is gone in the Heartless pics.

You're not the only one to spot the gap in the "Literally", FDU. I've noticed it in other BG scenes and screen caps as well. But you're right, it's not as evident in the Heartless pics. That's not to say it's not there, maybe she's just disguising it better. Or it may have fixed naturally. Or maybe she has had it filled at the dentist.

Oh, she definitely had it fixed. Between S2 and S3 in BG, if I am not mistaken. I have a long history of cosmetic dental work, and she's had a porcelain cap put on that tooth to fix the gap. Either that or she had it pulled and a fake tooth implanted.

On February the Second Heartless will be shown in Germany on the TV channel ARTE and maybe it also will be shown in France. ARTE is a French-German TV channel.

i noticed the gap between her teeth too, but whether its force of habit that she sticks her toungue between her teeth when she smiles or cos she was trying to disguise the gap, its extremely cute lol

i think its adds to her aura, if that makes sense ^_^

I just saw the two clips someone so kindly posted and am now on the internet trying to by it lol! this is getting silly, i cant move for dvds with simone in!
x

Gap in her tooth or a habit she just looks so sweet & innocent :rolleyes: she makes me go all gooey when she does that :err

And yes Bgep 1,2&3 i agree 100% Simone defiantly has a nice back its gorgeous :wink

I just watched it...and its such a great film. It was one of those great feel good, snuggle on the sofa film. Simone was 'absoultly fanatstic' in it, could we expect any less, and i cried when Nanny Jean died! I even got my none obssessed house mates to indulge with me! I choked up when he tried on her husbands clothes for the first time and she had the outburst about what she would say to her husband 'if he was here'!
I'm buying it for all my girly friends birthdays for the rest of the year, they must share the love!

And her accent...*shudders*

I know what you mean! I rented this on DVD but am looking to get it now.

I totally agree Baileysqueen, its such a good film, really heart warming :)

I cy at the beginning of the film when they let the balloon which has 'DAD' on it, and when they show the cute puppy lol And of course all the other parts that you mentioned, Simone is an amazing actress ^_^

Those UK viewers who have not yet seen Heartless will have another chance to see it tonight (Monday 7 Jan), when ITV3 screens it from
10 - 11.35pm. (Sky 119, Cable 116, Freeview 10.)

Ooh thanks JAMBF. I have seen it and have it on DVD but would love to see it again, without having to mess about with the DVD player, which never works anyway :lol:

Earlier today I found an older movie that Simone starred in. "Heartless", I've never seen it mentioned before but I snagged a copy of it.

There's a thread about it in the SL/MJ section (look below) and Molsongrrrl uploaded it for anyone to download awhile back, it's still available in her SL ftp file.

Thanks... I guess I had missed seeing it listed. I've tried to download things from molsongrrl's site, but once I have them downloaded and try to watch them I end up with an error. Have no clue what I'm doing wrong.

Hey Photolady!
Is it just me or does it bother you when you see Simone in something else? I like to think of her as always "Helen-loving Nikki". I watched Wire in the Blood on BBC America on sunday and still cant figure out what's up with her hair?? I also think that she isn't really given a chance in that show to display the full gamut of her acting ability. I guess they don't want her to outshine Robson Green. Also, It would bother me to see her romantically involved with someone else. I know that's carrying things a bit too far, innit?
