What's ahead? THIS is what we have to look forward to:

Has there been a film in the Land of Crowe as eagerly anticipated as The Far Side of the World? Probably not after today! Here we get our first look at Capt. Jack Aubrey, and he's a mighty fine officer indeed! In the meantime... read the article that accompanied the photo! Batten down the hatches and stay tuned! THANK YOU, AfterDarkQT for the fabulous Capt. Jack! |

S E L L C R O W E
who will always
be our hero, Oscar or not, for his courage, intellect, talent, and most
especially, his big beautiful heart! THANK
YOU, Russell, for your unforgettable performance in A Beautiful
Mind!

"You know, a dream like this seems kind of vaguely ludicrous and completely unattainable. But this moment is directly connected to those childhood imaginings. And for anybody who's on the down side of advantage and relying purely on courage, it's possible." Oscar

WELCOME to Russell
Crowe's Barbarian Horde, We don't mess around here... we adore him, in all his scruffy in-your-face flannel-wearin' beer drinkin' bird-flippin' glory, and we'll follow him always, shield in hand, sword at the ready! And now... the first of 30 odd disclaimers:

Yeah, so...? I've seen it all before...ANYTHING NEW?

Crowe or 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. Period. Furthermore, this entire website was
created solely for the use and entertainment of Russell Crowe's fans. And while
some of the content may cause the casual observer to think that we, his fans,
take what happens to him and what happens in his private life personally, it's
only a hobby, folks. Some people fish; some people play golf; some people knit,
crochet, play backgammon, chess, needlepoint, watch football, hockey, travel
great distances to spend exorbitant amounts of money on rare antiques / expensive
cigars / fine wine / delicate lace; some people read poetry, play bridge, bowl,
are active in politics, ride horses, breed dogs, grow tomatoes, prune roses,
or just sit in front of the television and veg. We talk about Russell Crowe.
Not all of the time. But some of the time. We still have jobs we excel in, husbands
we cherish, children we protect and treasure, lovers we make love to, families
we fight with, friends we cry with, other hobbies we're obsessed with, etc.;
we still prepare meals and feed the dogs and travel to Europe and have babies
and, yes, some of us bravely fight off cancer and maintain a sense of humor
while living with lupus. We do indeed have lives (so don't say it), but we've
chosen to preserve a little corner of our existence for this talented, fascinating,
charismatic man, a little space that's just our own, and that we share collectively.
Now, if that don't say it all, I don't know what will. * "Russell Crowe: NOT for the faint of heart..." thank you, Zee! - © Zenith 2001
In Memoriam
The thousands taken from us on September 11th will never be forgotten. But if one photograph sticks in my mind and represents the horror and tragedy and sorrow of that day, it's the one of the man falling through the air after jumping from the burning World Trade Center. Mercifully I was unable to find the photo that probably inspired this poem; it's so disturbing that, I've read, that people who have seen it have been traumatized by it. But no tribute can be more evocative than this poem by the Nobel Prize-winning poet Wislawa Szymborska.

Thanks to Hard to Handle for bringing this to our attention at the Crowe's Perch.
So that we never forget:
