Our beautiful Gemma Arterton had her premiere for Tamara Drew tonight in Leicester Square and, in the face of torrential rain plus a tube strike, it can't have been easy. But the smile stayed on her face - no doubt at the thought of everyone arriving for the premiere on Boris Bikes. Source for the Gemma picture.
Meanwhile, Oxford has been splashing through its annual medieval St Giles Fair, giving me the perfect opportunity to take some pictures of the bright lights against the old sandstone while dodging raindrops the size of grapes.
All of which rain reminds me of Zodiac, basements in the rain and dates in the rain with newspapers on the head.
Or Jarhead raining oil in the desert, or Moonlight Mile and night drives in the rain.
Prince of Persia may have lacked rainy scenes - a deserty drawback - but who knows what is to come.

Hey :) It's been raining none STOP today here. Perfect reflection on the first day of Year 13. Final year. Wahoo :)
I love the "Raining Oil" scene in Jarhead, it's really beautiful in a weird way. I LOVE the cinematography in that film, and when the horse appears.. ooh i need to see Jarhead again! Oh, by the way, did you know the Jarhead diaries had been posted on youyube via "imstalkingjake" !? People can finally see them! So happy, DVD was difficult to find.
I love how Gemma always goes for the "minimalist" look on the red-carpet with not much make-up, she's naturally very pretty.

Hello WDW
Rain, rain, rain - you and me both. We had torrential rain last week with houses' foundations exposed, trees washed on to the road, cliffs partly washed away. Fitting that my word today is stormate.
Gemma looks unscathed through the rain and tube strike, great that Tamara Drew is out. Caught her performances recently in Clash of the Titans and The Boat That Rocked.
Those movie clips were a good interlude. Zodiac is scary. How cute is young Jake in Moonlight Mile? Not to mention beautiful acting.
Your photos of the fair look ethereal.
Cheers
Tui
Hey everyone :)
It's been raining none STOP here all day! Perfectly reflects first day back at school, my last year though.. :D
I love the "raining oil" scene in Jarhead. So beautiful in an odd way, and when the horse comes through the fire... i need to watch it again soon! I adore the cinematography in that film :)
Oh by the way, the Jarhead Diaries were uploaded onto youtube a couple of weeks ago via ImStalkingJake! :D Finally got to see them :) Never thought I would!
I love the way Gemma goes for the "minimalist" look on red-carpets. She is very naturally pretty :)

Really apt post tonight WDW. We have nothing but rain, rain, rain here too:( On a personal note, I hope that it will have rained itself out by Saturday.
Gemma looks fab on the red carpet tonight. I love her dress. Liking the look of Tamara Drewe also.
Bye for awhile:)
WDW, you can send some of that rain to the States :) I love rain!
Gemma looks great at the premiere!
We had a lovely summer's day yesterday, but judging by the pool that 9hrs ago was my balcony, I think the rains have crossed the Channel tonight. Or is there more to come? :-\
Prince Dastan soaked... Holey moley, imagining that is a better kick than caffeine! That fountain scene was way too short. ;-)
Hi WDW and y'all,
I've always loved the rain. Reminds me of my old home in Europe.
But down under we always seem to have to put up with nature's extremes.
After more than a decade of severe drought and deadly bush fires; large areas of Queensland, New South Wales and particularly Victoria are now inundated by floods...
Looking forward to seeing Tamara Drew. Caught a preview, and it seems pretty intense. Gemma looks divine again in that premiere pic.
Really liked her performance in Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
Will try to catch some of the videos you've posted later. Connection is playing up again.
cheers,
lemniscate
Morning all! And it's actually stopped raining - still a little damp round the edges :D
Hi Tui - that's terrible! I hope all that has eased now.
Gemma looks so wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing Tamara Drewe. I've heard some good things about it. Ooh that scene in Zodiac. I adore the rain scenes in Moonlight Mile - I love the romance of that film.
Hi Silver! Have a good day first back at school :D Judging by the roads today I could see that everyone else was back! The raining oil scene is just stunning - there's a real beauty about Jarhead. That's great about the Jarhead Diaries.
Morning Carol - I really, really hope it's finished raining by Saturday. I'll be thinking of you!!
Hey there Tiffany! My pleasure :D
Ooh I totally agree, Lady Ekster - far too short! Dastan dried off too quickly too :D I hope the rain passes you by :)
Hi there Lemniscate - how I would love to visit Australia :) But real extremes. I couldn't watch Tess - it's just too tragic , I just saw the beginning.
Have a good day everyone! Play.com are packing my PoP DVD :DD I just hope it gets here in time for a PoP weekend.
Hello everybody!
I like French photos of Jake. He's cute in that hat. And this line: - "Sorry, I wish I could speak French with you, but I don't understand" - is so in his gentle style.
This Rendition interview is very interesting and deep. I like it about Jake that he goes deeply in things. Like some of you said he's sexy in brain or his brain is sexy and this is very truth.
And about his childhood traumatic moments - an acrophobia (a fear of height)- this is quite funny comparing to what he has to do in Prince of Persia movie - parcour on the roofs etc.
Moonlight Mile clip - that's nice movie. Don't you think that Jake looks in it like one of The Beatles (because of his hairdo)
WDW and Lemniscate - I had no idea that Gemma played in Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
I like the book and I watched the movie with Nastasia Kinsky as Tess. I can imagine how great Gemma could be in that dramatic story.
Good evening to everyone.
I forgot to mention that in Poland is cold and wet. Right now outdoor is 12 degrees and in my flat is only 18 degrees. Brrr!
Have a warm night! :)
Hi WDW and y'all,
Still lots of sandbagging going on here (not at our place luckily).
Well WDW, if you ever find yourself coming this way, be sure to let me know. You're more than welcome.
We could go down to Bondi and spot Jake impersonators ;-)
Morning Mermon! I really like how Jake has confronted his fears - as I think he must have done with PoP - just as he likes to challenge himself with everything.
That really is a Beatle haircut in MMile but I find it horrible! I don't think Jake liked it much either... That's cold - keep warm :)
Blimey, Lemniscate, that is not good. Fingers crossed it stays ok near you. I most definitely hope that at some time I can take you up on that!!
Have a lovely day everyone :)
