Updates 2004

November 14: Prime Time Bruce Part II: The 1990s is now posted.  Did we mention that some of the pics in these sets are new photos we haven't used before?

November 13:  In honor of Bruce's upcoming birthday on Nov. 22, we are preparing a montage of pictures from Bruce's films over the last three decades. The montage is in three parts: the 1980s, the 1990s, and the 2000s.  Today we have posted Prime Time Bruce: Part I: The 1980s. Stay tuned for the next two parts in a few days. Like a fine wine, Bruce just gets better and better...

November 9: In honor of the 88th anniversary of the sinking of the HMMS Britannic off the coast of Kea Greece on November 21, 1916, we have posted the commentary about the film Britannic, which is loosely based on this actual event.

October 30: In honor of that ghoulishly fun holiday Halloween, formerly known as Samhain by the Celts, we have some tasy treats for you: Bruce in all his scary glory: Bruce Halloween Part 1: Supernatural Bruce; and Bruce Halloween Part 2: Psycho Bruce. "From all the things that go bump in the night...Good Lord, deliver us.."

For a brief history of Samhain and the Celtic origins of Halloween and links to Samhain sites, see Samhain

October 23: Chapter Three  (Part 1: The Spy Who Shoved Me; Part 2: A Vampire in the Balkans) of "Jurgen: The Saga Continues"has been posted in the Fan Fiction section.

October 17: We are pleased to announce another new section: Fan Fiction. Our first offering presents two very different stories: one, a James Bond story by our cyberpal Frostbitten and the other, the first two chapters of "Jurgen: The Saga Continues" by Sofia, Ariel, Merlin and Israfel of Bruce's Angels. Watch for more chapters coming soon...

September 18: We have just added a Guestbook. Look for the Guestbook button in the main frame or click here.

September 16: The commentary and pics for Bruce as Yellow in Keen Eddie, one of our top favorite performances, is now online. Teaming once again with old pal Alexei Sayle (Solarbabies), Bruce is even more hilarious in this TV comedy/drama episode entitled "Horse Heir.".

September 11:  For news about the upcoming release of Asylum of the Damned (aka Helllborn) and news about the Dungeons & Dragons sequel now in progress, see Twowings' report on the Bruce's Angels Forum dated today. The D&D news is now all over the Internet. Gamers are a-twitter.  Bruce fans are thrilled.  Damodar lives!

September 5: The commentary for One's Man's Justice has just been added to the Villain section. Bruce is at his gorgeous best in this one, nose ring and all!   We've also added a new button to the navigation frame (or click to the page from here): Photo Gallery. You can navigate to the the first two galleries, "The Eyes Have It" and "Steam Heat" from there. Two additional photo galleries are in the works.

September 4: In honor of Labor Day, we offer you yet another "labor of love"--two more screensavers: "Bruce in Action I" and "Bruce in Action II."  You can't get too much of a good thing. :)

August 28: OK, NOW you can have a screensaver for every day of the week!  We have just added the "We're Not Telling" screensaver.

August 27: We liked the pics in our new photo gallery so much that we made some of them into screensavers. There's "Bruce the Lover (oooh-la-la) and The Eyes have It."  You can't have too many screensavers when it comes to photos of Bruce.  Now you can have a different one almost every day of the week. Is that cool or what?

August 24: We love themes (didja notice?) and have added two new themed photo sections: "The Eyes Have It," with pics of Bruce's chilling/thrilling/charming/dramatic eyes; and "Steam Heat," with pics of sizzling scenes that steam up our contact lens. Some are old, some are new but they are all guaranteed to turn up the heat.  We couldn't resist reviving some archived commentary by Ariel on Bruce's sizzle factor.  Oooo-la-la.

August 8: From the serious (Sweepers) to the hilarious. Time to take another peek at Bruce, the comic actor. Check out our new pics and commentary on the delightfully gender bending film, Switch.  The Devil, you say...

August 6: Pics and commentary for Sweepers have been added. No wisecracks this time; landmines are no laughing matter.

August 5:  We've been thinking about the resemblance between Bruce and John Barrymore for a long time. Talk about two "Great Profiles."  Don't believe us? Follow this new link: Great Profiles, to see what we mean.

July 30: Thanks to Israfel, we have a new "Many Faces of Bruce Payne" collage on the Intro page. Israfel is an "absolute beginner" to collage-making but is rapidly climbing up the learning curve. She obviously went to great paynes to bring us this collage.

July 9:  We are pleased to announce a very special goodie: A 12-month Bruce Payne Calendar. Including commentaries and film dates as well as photos, it starts August 2004 and runs through July 2005.   The calendar was a joint project of Ariel, Israfel and Sofia.

June 28: Oh we had fun doing these two new screensavers: Bruce as Hero and Bruce as Villain.  The screensaver program we use has spectacular transition effects and we used different colors for the backgrounds. Click on "goodies" or heck, you can go right to Screensavers.

June 27:  Our special treat is now ready!  One new Bruce wallpaper and two new screensavers!  We think Bruce looks so terrific in The Apocalypse that we did both a wallpaper and a screensaver. The Domitian wallpaper was created by Israfel. The Domitian screensaver was the joint project of Ariel, Israfel and our cherub in training, Devecia. We also created a screensaver entitled "The Many Faces of Bruce Payne," which has 3 hero pics, 3 villain pics and 1 comic actor pic. To find and download them, click on our new "Goodies" button or click here.   Stay tuned for more delicious choices--we are in the process of creating 3 more screensavers: "Bruce as Hero," "Bruce as Villain,' [you gals on the BPML will love this one :)], and "Bruce: We're Not Telling" for pics from his films where we are not telling whether he is hero or villain. We wouldn't dream of ignoring pics from Riders, Sweepers, or Nemesis because Bruce look so good in all of them.  We hope you enjoy these goodies as much as we do.

June 9:  As our first entry for Bruce as Comedian, we've added commentary and pics for Solarbabies.

June 7:  We love Kounterfeit so much that we have added new pics, some of them unique.

May 30: The Kounterfeit essay and pics have been added. Kounterfeit is one of our personal favorites. You can find out why by looking under Hero/Frankie.

May 29: NEW AND IMPROVED Kell pics have been added. One unique pic with a double exposure of the old and new Kell is quite spectacular. Thanks to Israfel for that great shot.  Additional pics have also been added to the Jurgen page. Good news for Jurgen fans--the DVD of the second year of La Femme Nikita (the Jurgen year) will be released this summer.  When it is, we will be able to get improved pics of Jurgen.  One new pic has been added to the Warlock page. It's a shattering scene :)

May 25: New Damodar pics have been added.

May 24: The essay and pics for Silence Like Glass have been added under Hero/Dr. Burton. Don't expect wisecracks; we are serious about this one.  Thanks to Qamiel for the new collage "The Many Faces of Bruce Payne" now posted on the Apocalypse page and on the Bruce's Angels Forum.

May 18: New pics have been added to the Warlock essay. The first part of the Apocalypse essay has been posted (see Villain section). One new Rane pic has been added.  Several of the pics added are not on any other fan site.

May 14: NEW pics of Charles Rane have been added to the Rane essay. Though we don't yet have essays to go with them, we have also added brand new pics from The Apocalypse and Riders because they are so delectable. Several of the photos do not appear on any other Bruce Payne fan site. Essays to follow soon. Two new entries in Comments have been added.

May 11: The Jacob Kell essay has been added to the Villain section. AND, thanks to our newest angel, Qamiel, our new Photo Technician Extraordinaire (and our second male angel if you count Merlin the Computer Wizard), we now have the use of video/DVD capture equipment! Watch for lots of lovely, luscious photos coming your way soon. Speaking of luscious pics, wait till you see the ones from Apocalypse!  We'll have some of those for you soon too.  BTW, you can buy the Apocalypse DVD at Walmart right now for $14.95. Such a deal.
