Watching and rewatching The Lord of The Rings was a formative part of my youth, largely for sexual reasons. Around the age of 12, I developed special feelings for the blond elf. I didn't have the language to express desire, but I can recall its first physical sensations: a belly ache, low in my stomach, and a feeling like I missed someone.
Like other people who came of age in the aughts, I now recognize that LOTR — specifically Legolas, the silver-haired elf played by Orlando Bloom — was crucial to my sexual awakening. I assumed, given his beauty, that Legolas must have been the subject of other people's fantasies, too. But as I got older, I found, with some surprise, that many preferred his opposite: a dark-haired, rather dirty fellow named Aragorn.

How To Build a Girl Review: Come For Beanie, Stay For Alfie
It's a special treat to see an actor you love pop up, unexpected, in a role completely unlike the one they are best known for. For many of us, Alfie Allen is synonymous with his character in Game of Thrones ; I mean, we spent the better part of a decade with Theon Greyjoy, the disgraced prince who was so thoroughly traumatized he became "Reek," a broken, terrified shadow of his former self.
I've actually loved him since 2007, when he appeared for about ten tear-soaked seconds in Atonement . So you can imagine my delight when he materialized during my weekend movie viewing, refashioned as my very favorite trope: the sexy, tortured dirtbag rocker.

Movie review: 'How to Build a Girl' captures the spirit of its brilliant source material -
British author, presenter and columnist Caitlin Moran's 2014 semi-autobiographical novel "How to Build a Girl" isn't just a great book about being a teenage girl. It's a great book about being a writer; about being the biggest dreamer in a small town, yearning to break free. It's about how when we're learning to be real people in the world, we experiment with building a persona, brick by brick, which hopefully, eventually, becomes a person.

Awkward teen Johanna gets her first taste of fame when she recites a poem about friendship (it's about her dog) on the local TV station, where she absolutely bombs and lets slip about the family's border collie breeding operation, jeopardizing their welfare benefits. Hoping to make a bit of scratch, she sends off a writing sample to the rock 'n' roll rag D&ME, at the behest of her brother and best friend, Krissi (Laurie Kynaston).
