We don't really want to kill Sean Bean!
We love him!
What is this site about?
This is is dedicated to Sean Bean's wonderfully acted death scenes. Admit it, he does die in a lot of movies. We've had such fun talking about this subject I though it was about time I shared it with the world.
Where did the idea come from?
My boyfriend. He HATES Sean Bean for some strange reason. Well you know, not everyone can like everyone else. We were watching tv a while ago and above the tv is my Fellowship of the Ring poster which has Sean Bean on it. Knowing that he dislikes Sean Bean I pointed him out. What followed then was a conversation about how Sean Bean dies in everything. At the time neither of us could think of anything that he's been in that he didn't die in (we have discovered some since then which is a shame). A few days later that conversation was forgotten, that is until we rented the movie 'Don't Say a Word'. This brought the topic into discussions again. Yet again it was soon forgotten. Then a month or so ago my good friend Darknight created this topic at AZ:UK. I won't make you scroll through it all. Here's a rough outline of what was said...
Darknight has decided to make a movie about the forum members with celebs playing each of us.
Seth asked to be played by Sean Bean.
Neety pointed out that Sean Bean dies in everything.
Darknight pointed out this "He gets to spend the movie chasing little hairy guys around, trying to get his hands on their "Magic Ring"..." Sean Bean would be perfect for the role of Seth Master's.
And so followed numerous conversations between Darknight and I over the death of Sean Bean in his movies. We also made this thread on AZ:UK which everyone enjoyed a great deal. It was looking at that that put the idea into my head. And so this site was created from that.
What do we plan to achieve by making this site?
First and for most we want Sean Bean to know how much we love him. He's a fab actor and does a great death scene.
We also have the Huzzah project.
Huzzah
huz·zah also huz·za
interj.
Used to express joy, encouragement, or triumph.
n.
1)A shout of “huzzah.”
2)A cheer.
[Perhaps variant of Middle English hisse, heave!. See hoist.]
Huzzah! It is the sacred word, and thus we have a mission. A
mission to get this word into popular useage!
Now, the original plan was to get it put into the dictionary. I checked and
discovered it was actually in there already.
Huzzah! All well and good, but we needed a new mission. And thus, did Sean Bean
enter the picture.
Ok, so the plan is now to get Sean Bean to say, in some kind of interview or
movie, "Huzzah! I am slain" Or something similar.
Sean Bean, if you are reading this, say Huzzah for us please!
Huzzah!
