"Fun in the Sun" by Israfel July 2009
2009
July 3: This month's calendar is brought to you by Israfel. In honor of the July summer sun, we have chosen Bruce as the desert rat Dogger from Solar Babies. He's dirty, scrungy, smelly but we still think he's cute...
In a review of a video game at Blend Games, William Usher compared the voice-actor for the game, David Sobolov, to Bruce and Christopher Lee: " In other words, David is to voice-acting what Christopher Lee (or Bruce Payne) is to evil-character movie-acting. Yeah, he’s that good." Now there's a man with taste and sense! We think Bruce is every bit as good as Lee at these kinds of roles and a whole lot better looking too.
June 5: Calendar Queen Sofia has been a bit under the weather so we are late with the June Calendar but here it is. It's got one of CMoon's kool kollages.

FIVE YEARS! Bruce's Angels is now celebrating our FIFTH ANNIVERSARY! How the time has flow!
And what a difference 5 years have made. From a few pitiful photos that
first month to a web site full of video clips, photo stories,
calendars, commentaries, artwork and many other goodies, to say nothing
of thousands of photos. We hope Bruce fans have enjoyed what all of us
here at Bruce's Angels have created. We thank you for visiting
us. Ariel and Israfel also want to extend their special thanks to
our angel colleagues who have helped us so much--CMoon, Sofia, Steffi,
Merlin, Qamiel and Devecia. Though the pace has slowed down here, be assured that we will continue to bring you Bruce news and, when available, photos and clips from new Bruce films. From time to time, we will also bring you other special features.
Meanwhile check out the new May calendar from Sofia. This month's theme is Cassius from Cleopatra, with thanks to Israfel's gorgeous collage. And what a delicious theme that is. Bruce looks great in that Roman armor and haircut. The real Cassius was either a hero or a villain, depending on what you think of Julius Caesar--tyrant or savior of the Republic? Pardon us for being biased but we're favoring hero...

Also check the new Bruce video on YouTube from Brazilian fan Laila. It's called Hymne a l'amour" ("Ode to Love") with music by Edith Piaf.
April 2: We're a day late with the April but don't let that "fool" you--any calendar from Sofia is worth waiting for. Following our tradition of having comedies for the month of April, we're featuring the Keen Eddie episode, "Horse Heir," in which Bruce plays the droll bad guy Yellow. The asthmatic hood with the inhaler has now becoming a "fixture" in film. It's been used in Casino Royale (Bruce would have been much more menacing than that villain, who couldn't act either). It was also used on the TV show Burn Notice ( a kool show). But as far as we know, Bruce was the first, and naturally, we think, the funniest.
Click here for the April CalendarWait, there's more...Our friend Matt at Direct to DVD Connoisseur has written a review of Paranoia 1.10. He liked it, just as we did, though he's still unhappy with Bruce's accent (which is, alas, not his wonderful English accent), But Matt did like Bruce's portrayal, so pay the site a visit and check out the other Bruce reviews if you missed them.

February 28: It's that Celtic time of year and our Calendar Queen Sofia has made a beautiful Celtic Calendar for March featuring our favorite Celt --Kell, Jacob Kell. The graphic of Kell is by CMoon.
Click
for a Kell Celtic CalendarWe're going to have to slow down our update schedule--we're running very low on new material--and we only want to do good updates. so we won't be updating every week from now on. When there is news about Bruce projects, we'll let you know. In the meantime, our schedule will be intermittent.
February 21: We're all a-twitter... Israfel has created a Twitter page for Bruce, using her favorite photo of him. Twitter is a free Internet service that lets you keep in touch with people through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Click below to see what we said. Celebrities who have Twitter pages include William Shatner, Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore, and chief executive of Zappo, Tony Hsieh.
And speaking of Twitter, we're still all-a-twitter about the new MUSICAL Dance Star that Bruce is filming. We got so excited about it when we announced it that we forgot that we do have audio clips of Bruce singing. You can check them out on our NEW All the Other Guys Audio/Visual Page. Look for these clips from Billy The Kid and the Green Baize Vampire: "I'm the One Who's Gonna Take You to the Top" and "White Lines, Black Cadillac." He has a strong tenor voice that's perfect for musicals. We know Bruce is versatile and multi-talented. Now more people will see it too!
And -- lest we forget-- Bruce also sings in Absolute Beginners. Click below to hear him belt out "Goodness gracious, great balls of fire" like Jerry Lee Lewis and on a burning piano. What a scene!
February 14:
Valentine's Day once again. Continuing this year's theme of bittersweet
love but just a little darker...We have a NEW film clip from Ripper: Letter From Hell...with
Bruce and A.J. Cook in a sensuous scene that will send shivers up and
down your spine. You can find it on our Valentine 2009 page.
And speaking of Ripper, IngeniousKat has posted clips on You Tube from Ripper recently. Lots of scenes of Bruce and does he look h-o-t, h-o-t, h-o-t in this film..

It's the 'sweetheart" month and we
have a sweetheart for you--Bruce as Peter Howles from Oxford
Blues. He's a
real cutie pie in this comedy from 1984. See the 5 audio/video
clips from this film on our NEW Audio/Video Funny Guys page. Come back
next week for a Valentine surprise...
February 1:
Ah, February...the
month of romance and love...But at Bruce's Angels, that never means
schmaltz and gooey sentimentality. Sometimes it means downright
scary "Valentine" images (see previous years page icon below). But we
decided not to do the edgy stuff this year. Well, at least not
for the calendar...Instead we bring you bittersweet romanticism with
CMoon's heartbreakingly beautiful graphic of Bruce from Necromonicon made into a stunning
calendar by our ever-so-talented Calendar Queen Sofia. The poem,
which is readable if you print out the calendar, is a bittersweet
tribute to lost love (a theme in Necronomicon)
We'll have some other "Valentine" surprises for fans later in the
month. Maybe they won't be so sweet...

WOW, HOT OFF THE "PRESS" (the IMDb,
that is)...Just announced today--Bruce is filming a new movie called Dance Star and it's a
musical! Is that kool or what?! We've heard
his singing voice in Billy the Kid
and the Green Baize Vampire and it's very good. What a
treat this will be! The film is from Greenway, the same people who are
doing Bruce's other movie Disturbance
(listed as "filming"). We are REALLY looking forward to all these
new movies because we've almost run out of material from his past
movies. (After all, we've been doing this for almost 5
years). We do have a few more audio clips in the pipeline
though...and maybe later, if we're able to pull it off technologically,
a clip of Bruce singing in BTKATGBV.
BTW if you haven't seen our Billy
the Kid page, here it is.January 24:
The Empire of Bruce Photo
Galleries expands...We have now placed photos on Friendster. Click on
the gorgeous new logo right here. And next week it'll be time for
a new calendar and is it beautiful! Very different from last
year's February calendar, very romantic if you can believe it...January 17:
More Bad Guys...and do we love them! More
Savak to be precise. Six more audio/video clips from One Man's
Justice have been added
to the Bad Guys page. We are also in the process of revising our
original audio/visual page. We've rearranged all the clips into
our 4 categories: Bad Guys, Good Guys, Funny Guys, and All the Other
Guys. Plus we've added a new rotating pic to jazz up the page.
Soon all the clips will move to their respective pages, making
it easier to find what you're looking for (and making the page take
less time to load). We'll also be working our way through the
rest of the films that we don't have clips from. 
check
out the new Savak clips here
Click here for the revised A/V pageJanuary 10:
Speaking of Savak,,,and we do
like to do so...that long, blond hair, oh my...we've put together some
audio/visual clips from One Man's
Justice aka One Tough
Bastard. Bruce is a really
bad guy in this one but
doesn't he look g-o-o-o-d. You can check out these yummy audio clips on
our BRAND NEW BAD GUYS AUDIO CLIPS PAGE! All the clips are now in
alphabetical order to make them easier to find. We'll have new pages
for the Good Guys, the Funny Guys, and All the Other Guys soon. Click
here for sizzling sinister Savak (under One Man's Justice)For those of you who haven't seen The Apocalypse...and for those who have...there's a trailer for it on Bruce's page on the IMDb. By a fortunate stroke of fate, Bruce as Domitian nearly dominates the trailer. Domitian proclaimed himself a god and, after seeing Bruce as Domitian, we are tempted to join that temple! While you're at it, check out the Bruce Dragnet episode "All That Glitters" in its entirety on Bruce's IMDb page. We announced that last year but some of you may have missed it.
Click here for the trailer, Hallelujah! If you've missed our Apocalypse page and Ariel's commentary, click here.

throught the neighborhood...
Click here to start from the beginning of the "12 Days of Christmas
Bruce Style"January 2: Have we all recovered from the partying and celebrating? No? Neither have we. Nonetheless, it's time for our 8th installment of the wonderfully wacky (or dreadfully dumb, depending on your point of view
) "12 Days of Christmas Bruce Style" saga. Now Tina is really getting irked. The Eight
Romans Rushing are making a total mess of her house and they've run out
of food...
Cassius, Domitian, and other assorted
Roman emperors, plus Marcello and Sophia, arrive and run rampant...January 1:
