RIP Omar Sharif (1932-2015) - The Egyptian star of classic epics Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Doctor Zhivago (1965) died today at age 83. His film debut was in Devil of the Sahara (1954) and from there it took 21 more movies until he rose to fame as Sherif Ali in Lawrence of Arabia, role that earned his first Golden Globe and his only Oscar nomination. The 2nd Globe came for the title role in Doctor Zhivago, and by that time he was already established a movie star appearing with Anthony Quinn and Gregory Peck in Behold a Pale Horse (1964), with Sophia Loren and Stephen Boyd in The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964), Ingrid Bergman and Shirley MacLaine in The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1965). Later on, he starred in Genghis Khan (1966), The Night of the Generals (1967), Funny Girl (1968), Mackenna’s Gold (1969), Juggernaut (1974), The Tamarind Seed (1974), Funny Lady (1975), Bloodline (1979), Inchon (1981), Green Ice (1981), Top Secret (1984), Beyond Justice (1992), 13th Warrior (1999), Monsieur Ibrahim (2003) - winning a Cesar for his performance, Hidalgo (2004) and most recently Rock the Casbah (2013). He was also an accomplished World-class bridge player, and of that he said “I’d rather be playing bridge than making a bad movie.”.

Roger's eyes moisten and tucked into Rafa's neck while Rafa hugged him tight.
Really, really gutted, but health comes first. He'll stick around for cheerleading duties. Hindsight is 20/20, but four matches in a row (which it would have been, had he decided to play today) may not have been the wisest decision either.
words cannot express my sorrow.
please let him be on the bench.
pray that he knows how much we appreciate him.
appreciate that beautiful match we got in Prague.
and always always remember.
fedal will be forever.
Two points (Really one point and several addendums):
1) If you think this is worse than the final season of Game of Thrones, you’re a fucking idiot. Nothing is worse than that.
2) Destiel is not canon. A ship cannot be half-canon. Destiel is not canon. Get over it.
2a) If the only reason you hate the finale is no Cas, you’ve been watching for the wrong reason and I pity you deeply. Supernatural started with Sam and Dean, and it ended with Sam and Dean. Every single person involved in Supernatural has called their relationship the core of the show, so of fucking course it’s going to be the focus of the finale. Stop spreading hate because you didn’t get what you want - grow up.
2b) Dean was never canonically bisexual, he was never canonically gay, he was never canonically queer. Lighting, food choices, clothes and the way a person sits does not define their sexuality. Most LGBTQIA individuals would be furious if you tried to tell them somebody was gay because of the way they sat in a chair, or that they wore a certain colored shirt. That’s not how it works, so get the fuck over it.
2c) The only person involved in Supernatural actually supporting and pushing the idea of Destiel becoming canon was Misha. Destiel is not canon. Misha lied to you in order to advance his own popularity and interests. Apart from Misha, nobody actually involved in the production of Supernatural has ever supported or encouraged Destiel becoming canon. Grow up, realize you got played and get the fuck over it.
2d) If any of you even so much as think about sending hate, threats, or any sort of malice to anybody involved in Supernatural for a fanon ship not becoming canon, you are deeply deluded, twisted and pathetic people. Seek help immediately. It’s a fucking television show.
2d continued) Seriously. It’s a fucking fictional goddamn tv show and I’ve seen at least 200 examples in the past two weeks of Destiel fans posting threats of violence against anybody who works for the CW if their ship didn’t become canon. Grow the literal fuck up you whiny children.
2e) Destiel not becoming canon does not mean that anybody in the show is homophobic. Calling a person homophobic and threatening to ruin their career because they didn’t bow down to a subsection of (quite frankly) rabid fans and abandon legitimate canon to do what the fans whined for is fucking disgusting. Grow up.
2f) I’ve been watching Supernatural since the premiere, and I’ve been on Tumblr since about season 7, and I am quite frankly disgusted by the behavior of certain fans - and by this point in the post you should know who you are - so I’m gonna wrap this post up by coming out and saying it.
The vast majority (Used to think it was less, but posts I’ve seen tonight changed my mind) of Destiel/Castiel fans are the most entitled, whiny, stuck-up, bratty, malicious bitches I’ve ever come across in my entire life.
Nothing matters except for what you want, and anybody who doesn’t do what you want is the worst person who ever existed.
Finale didn’t give you Castiel in every single frame sticking his tongue down Dean’s throat? Must mean it was the worst thing on television in history. Cas and Dean didn’t get married in heaven? Well, everybody must be raging homophobes. Castiel and Misha Collins aren’t worshiped as literal gods by everybody involved in Supernatural? Time to send out the death threats.
If you truly believe that, fuck each and every last one of you.
You’ve attacked, belittled, threatened and insulted anybody who disagrees with you - including Jensen and Jared - and that is quite frankly appalling behavior.
To threaten total strangers because they didn’t do what you wanted is disgusting, and you should be deeply ashamed and embarrassed by anybody who proclaims themselves to be a fan of Destiel or Castiel and demonstrated or endorsed anything like that.
Your behavior has been truly pathetic and insulting to everybody involved in 15 years of Supernatural, especially the fandom, and I’m quite frankly glad to be rid of you now.
The end.
I’m moments from being thrown out of my home (because I can’t pay the rent due to illness) and I want to wrap myself in Granada Holmes and its fandom to ease the pain.

“This will change the way you watch Spirited Away”. Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if it did :( And here I thought Miyazaki’s movies were incorruptible.

Norway’s general attitude towards preservation is appalling. These are exceptions, not the norm, and those historical buildings will probably be torn down and replaced with industrial complexes at one point.
The Norwegian countryside is strewn with architecture that looks better suited to crown the pages of a fairytale book. More commonly known for its Vikings heritage and fjords, these photographs display a wide variety of architectural styles that have been used throughout the Middle Ages to the 19th century in Norway. Check out the stunning collection below.
Crooked and towering wooden churches beckoning like an old crone’s fingers, winding stone path weaving through a forest, hidden waterfalls and lonely wooden cabins overlooking a vast valley at its base are some of the outlandish homes and architectural designs we have featured in this series. Teetering Stave churches, eerie waterfalls cascading down like a creature with its own mind, wooden homes made in the typical Norwegian indigenous style called byggeskikk have none of the linearity or conformity that modern buildings do, and have whimsical elements that heighten its sense of magic.
Each of these structures below have a particular way of being set into its own environment, standing out from the elements without obstructing nature. Most of the buildings and bridges and pathways have been built with stone and wood balance the scene it has been engineered upon.

…Sharif loved gambling, so they’d invariably lose all their money at the casino. “We once did about nine months’ wages in one night”, said O’toole. “And then got up to the usual things young men get up to”. Asked by a journalist if that entailed getting up to no good O’toole gave a grin a replied “Oh, darling, do you consider it to be no good? We consider it very good indeed”
I want to believe this, and it’s the most plausible scenario. But there’s a part of me that thinks Jeremy Carver wants to destroy the brother bond for good, and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

+1 to everything you said.
Seriously, if your first instinct upon meeting a famous person (whether it be musician, actor, athlete, whatever) that you like (or dislike, for that matter) is “what can I do to make this person uncomfortable” you need to step back and reevaluate your priorities. Pulling a prank like that would not be “hilarious”, but inappropriate and disrespectful.
I reported the company too, for encouraging harrassment. Hopefully they’re just trying to get some free publicity and nothing will come of this, because it could turn out incredibly ugly and embarrassing for everyone involved.
I was thinking of this prank some shippers intend to pull on Jensen by bringing him some lube for the San Diego comic con. That's a funny idea, don't you think so? I ship J2 and nothing else, but still it would be hilarious. He's such a prude and would bring him out of his shell more.
No, I don’t think it’s a funny idea. Not at all.
This isn’t about shipping at all, this is about making actors uncomfortable and I will never support that, never.
Do you know the definition of the word prude? Here it is for you:
Does that sound like Jensen to you? The guy who has had plenty of sexual scenes on Supernatural?
First of all, Jensen is not a prude. Jensen is more reserved, yes, but not a prude. Second of all, Jensen doesn’t need to be out of his shell anymore. He can come out of his shell as much or as little as he wants. He’s perfect just as he is. If he wants to come out of his shell more, he will and he will do so on his own terms. But he doesn’t have to, not by any means.
This whole prank is bizarre. When I first read it I thought it was some sick joke just on the internet, but when I saw that some people were actually planning on doing it I felt sick.
Jensen has done so much for this fandom and yet the Destiel shippers can never seem to respect him. That’s right, the Destiel shippers. I don’t like to ship hate - actually, I don’t ship hate and I’m all about letting people ship what they want to ship. But in cases like this shippers take it way too far and it is almost always the Destiel shippers in the Supernatural fandom that take things too far. Jensen has repeatedly expressed his dislike and discomfort of being asked shipping questions and even stated that he was thankful Dean and Cas had less scenes together in season 9 because it cut down on the shippers being insane and analyzing every little thing that happened.
If I found out any J2 or Wincest shippers were doing this I would report, block, and completely disassociate myself from those particular people.
But ignoring the shipping aspects of this prank, the fact that human beings think that it is okay to do this to another human being is disgusting. I mean really, who first had the brilliant (please note the sarcasm) idea to associate lube with ships, especially ships nominated for the fucking TeenChoice awards? TEEN CHOICE. Like yes, I’m sure all the 13 year olds that voted even know what lube is. It’s utterly bizarre and annoying as hell.
Respecting actors is something all people should do. Respecting actors who do as much as Jensen does for all of us should be a requirement. This man has been working on this show for over a decade. He has dedicated his life to it. He has turned down big movie rolls and other rolls for this fandom. He has attended conventions and put up with repeated questions and millions of pictures for fans. He takes time away from his daughter for this fandom. He puts everything he has into his acting for this fandom. He has shed blood, sweat, and tears for this fandom and yet certain people still can’t find the decency to give him respect. It’s baffling really.
If people actually go through with this prank, I honestly don’t know what I will do, what Jensen will do, what Jared will do, or what SPN will do. I have already reported the lube company on Twitter that is encouraging this. That’s right, they are reported and blocked. Yes, I am one measly person but hopefully others are doing it as well and it will at least mean something.
Respect our actors, respect their wishes, respect their privacy, and consider others before you even think of doing something so stupid.
Maybe you should check out the term “fan service”. Destielers queerbait themselves, they don’t need any help from the show.
After seeing this anon ask, I realized that I didn’t have the actual gifs available. So I found them in this biased article.
