December 30:
We're going to give the New Year a royal treatment--with Lord Damodar, that is..Our Movie of the Month for January 2007 is Dungeons & Dragons II: Wrath of the Dragon God and so naturally, Israfel outdid herself preparing for her Absolute Favorite...there's a new and fantastic thumbnail photo gallery with 88 photos, including BRAND NEW ones and not counting the 17 behind the scenes pics from "Rolling the Dice." There's also a NEW D&D2 wallpaper page to go along with the luscious January calendar.
click here  Go, go Damodar...as our Year End/New Year's Party continues....

December 29:
We're ready to wrap up this year with a fine flourish. For tonight we have a fabulous new Full Eclipse wallpaper page by Israfel with a Steffi graphic for the background plus a new wallpaper by Ariel.  More treats tomorrow as we begin to party in the New Year.
  You can click on the pic while we start in on the champagne already...

December 25: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR from CMoon and the Angels. The latest graphic from CMoon's web site is just so delicious we had to put it up. 


December 24:
We've been very busy, very good, very angelic angels at Wikipedia again.  We added a new page to Wiki for Ripper and have added a synopsis, BA link and Bruce photos to the Switch page; Bruce photos, positive reviews and BA and WHOP links to The Howling VI page.   And for our piece de resistance, we have added some positive reviews of Bruce's acting to the Bruce Payne page on Wiki.  These are some of the same reviews that we posted on the Bruce Reviews page linked to the Bruce's birthday card back in November.
   Pardon us for thinking about the Devil on Christmas Eve....Pass that eggnog around again...


December 23:     

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANNUKAH, MERRY SOLSTICE AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS OF EVERY KIND. Here are our Holiday Gifts to Bruce fans: Sofia's Sumptious Calendar, Israfel's new Jurgen Wallpaper page and her new Necronomicon wallpaper page.

Sofia and Israfel have outdone themselves once again on these gorgeous gifts!!  The webmaster can't help herself; she has to clap her hands in utter delight at these pages.



December 22:
Speaking of extraordinaire, look at what our wonderful CMoon has sent us--Damodar for Xmas.  You all may have noticed that  we have a slightly twisted sense of humor around here (you didn't ? well, gosh.... ) and so the idea of Damodar as Santa really tickles our funnybone.  Beats the heck out of a Hallmark card, in our opinion.   Of course we think anything concerning Damodar is kool so maybe we're a trifle biased...ya think?  But bottom line, it's a gorgeous picture.  We are having a fantastic holiday here with all the goodies the other angels have sent. We hope you are enjoying them as much as we are and that your holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, are just as great.

Speaking of twisted, look what Israfel found...a Damodar spoof video--a funny remix of the scene in D&D2 in which Damodar gets fed intravenously. Check it out at ifilm.com


December 21:
Two of our graphic artists extraordinaire have holiday presents for us all. Steffi has sent us a new D&D2 graphic and Sofia has sent her personal favorite Bruce pics --"Sofia's Choice" (with an editorial to boot). Clever Sofia also sent a new Highlander: Endgame button for the Villains page that incorporates the MacLeod tartan.

December 20:
Our Holiday Greetings have gone up on our front page along with a Celtic shield that Sofia designed for Bruce.  The Angels have also posted greetings on Bruce Payne Rules, Kool Bruce Payne, and a very "special" one on Welcome to the House of Payne.  That one is not so angelic as the others

Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice. Welcome to Winter, the beginning of the rebirth of the Earth...

December 16:
Our Holiday Theme for this year is Celtic.  Our Holidays 2006 page will lead you to our new Solstice Wishes written as 12 Bruce characters might have penned them.  We have also updated our Winter Solstice page.  Check out our past holidays greetings too--we have them in the many languages of Bruce fans around the world.  And stay tuned for more Celtic treats next week...
clickhere

Our treats for this week are brand new wallpaper pages with kool new backgrounds by Israfel.  We have a Highlander wallpaper page and a D&D I page. What delicious wallpapers too!  More to come...

December 15:
Tis the season to be jolly, and what Bruce character is jollier than Liam from Pyrates!  Our latest thumbnail gallery is Liam and it includes some delicious photos we've never used before.
        click here


December 9:
Continuing our light-hearted comedic holiday theme, we have a new thumbnail gallery (leading to larger photos) from the delightful gender-bending Switch.  For a devilishly good holiday time, click here.
  What a handsome devil you are...


And we have posted holiday greeting graphics from several of our angels around the world.  This kind of "blue" Christmas is OK with us.

December 8:
Our two talented graphics artists, CMoon and Steffi,  have made beautiful contributions to our good guy theme for the holidays: CMoon's "Here, There and Everywhere" graces our Kounterfeit page. Steffi's 007 Bruce is no secret on our Bruce as Secret Agent Page and Steffi's second graphic adds a nicely spooky touch to our Necronomicon page.  Tomorrow we have another new thumbnails photo gallery...
  


December 2:
No Movie of the Month this month because the Calendar feature is a collage of "The 12 Faces of Bruce Payne."   Speaking of which, in October we featured Bruce's scary villains; in November, we featured his hero roles; now in this month of peace on earth, good will to all, we are featuring Bruce's lighthearted comedy roles. First up--Keen Eddie, with 6 new audio/video clips and a new thumbnail photo gallery by Israfel with lots more pics of Bruce.

We are in the process of revising our Wallpapers page so that it doesn't take so long to download. Israfel has made a separate Comedies wallpaper page and a new page for wallpapers based on Bruce photos not from films
, along with a new wallpaper she made entitled "The Three Faces of Bruce."   You'll find the links on our regular Wallpapers page.
click here

December 1: 
Steffi has sent us another wallpaper, this time a sensous rendering from Paranoia 1.0. 
  Have a visit with our favorite Neighbor...     click here



There are also new button graphics on the Photo Gallery page, thanks to Sofia and more are on the way..


November 26: 
To go along with our Secret Agent theme, Steffi has created a beautiful new graphic entitled "La Femme Nikita."  Since she used Ariel's favorite pic of Jurgen, she won our hearts.    We put it both on the Jurgen page and on the Wallpaper page.
  OUR favorite secret agent...


November 25: 
Continuing our Hero theme for the month, we have revised and expanded our Secret Agent material. Now that we have a new Bond movie, Casino Royale, and a new Bond, Daniel Craig, we hope there is renewed interest in the secret agent concept.  The Secret Agent page now has a new graphic by CMoon and links to a new essay (revised from the old essay by Ariel on "Bruce as Bond") on why Bruce Payne would be a terrific secret agent, as well as (at last) a new chapter in the Jurgen: The Saga Continues fan fiction.

November 24:
We are still experiencing technical problems with our  ISP so the Bruce birthday present page still doesn't look right but we are working on it. Meanwhile we have some new fan art to show you. Steffi, a fan from Germany, has sent us some beautiful Bruce graphics.  We have created a fan art page for her.  And for tomorrow, we have prepared some more Hero treats for you, and we don't mean the sandwich!  We'll give you a hint...he's a man who lives a life of danger...
click  for Steffi's fan art page


CMoon made another birthday image for Bruce for her Magnificent Bruce Payne web site. We thought it was so beautiful that we put it on her fan art page here.

November 22: 
Today is a Big Birthday in a month of birthdays!  First of course, it is Bruce's birthday. See the link below for our birthday card to him with messages from all the Angels, plus some of his many fans. There are birthday messages from all over the world!  Thanks to all of you who sent greetings. It is also angel Byzantina's birthday so she gets to be his "guardian" angel--lucky girl-- . The greeting to her is on our BA Forum.  Angel Israfel had a birthday on Nov. 7 and Angel Gabriel has one on Dec. 2. Whew!  Please join us for some "virtual" cake and ice cream!!
     



PS BTW the voiceovers on the Main page and the Update page work better in Explorer than in Firefox. Such are the oddities of the Internet and Browsers.


DUE TO A PROBLEM AT OUR HOST ISP, THIS MESSAGE WAS NOT POSTED TILL NOV 23. NUTS!

November 18: 
Though Bruce's birthday is not till Nov. 22, we are celebrating it early!  We've prepared a "virtual"  birthday card for Bruce, with a
STUNNING new graphic designed especially for the card by CMoon as well as individual greetings written by each Angel. They're all different, reflecting our diverse personalities and our heartfelt sincerity in wishing Bruce well. We also have greetings from some of Bruce's many fans from around the world.  If you would like to add yours to the list, it's not too late!  Send us your greeting for Bruce at brucesangels@brucesangels.com  and we'll add it to the list.

Our piece de resistance  is our Special Birthday Present for Bruce. S-h-h-h, it's a surprise but we'll give you a hint--his publicist might be able to make good use of it...
click here

As an extra treat, we have added two embedded audio clips of Bruce as The Neighbor from Paranoia 1.0 on our Main page and Update page.  Thanks to Merlin, our techowizard, for his audio editing wizardry.


November 17: 
CMoon has made another contribution to our Good Guy theme for November: a swimmingly gorgeous

Speaking of heroes, good news for fans of Kounterfeit. It's coming out on DVD on January 23.  You can preorder it through Amazon or CD Universe. Till now, it was only available in VHS.  We will be posting brand new improved pics from this film--it's one of our favorites.


November 11:
GOOD GUY--that's our theme for the month. For our first GG, here's our new Face the Evil (aka No Contest II) page. Israfel has once again outdone herself with 8 audio/video clips, a photostory AND...AND our newest feature--a thumbnail photo gallery--even more pics for the fans!  This time the page is by Israfel and the text is a joint effort by Israfel and Ariel. 
So now enjoy our favorite movie director--Jack Terry...

November 10:
We have just posted the article "A Terrorist to Die For" from People magazine, 1992. We discovered that the version on another BP fan site is not the complete article.  The complete version that we have posted includes a photo of Bruce and his then-girl friend as well as commentary on their relationship.
click here

November 5:
OK, just one more bad guy before we continue our Good Guy theme. Couldn't resist this one because it's another CMoon Special. This one from One Man's Justice is called "Bad Cop, Bad Death."  In spite of its grim name, it's a beautiful graphic which nows graces both CMoon's fan art page and our One Man's Justice page.
  Bad cop, no donut...

CALLING ALL FANS....Would you like to wish Bruce a Happy Birthday?  Send us your birthday wish and we'll post it along with our Birthday Special. Send it to us at brucesangels@brucesangels.com

November 4:
Have you guessed? Our Movie of the Month is Absolute Beginners.  OK, so Bruce is a bad guy in this one but we did the calendar a long time ago. Next week we have a Bruce good guy. In the meantime, sing along with Bruce {well, for a few lines anyway)  in this musical in the West Side Story tradition.  To add to the fun, we have a new Absolute Beginners page with photos and text, audio/video clips (in which you can hear Bruce sing) and a photostory.
  Goodness gracious, what a sharp razor you have...click here

November 3:
According to a post made on the IMDb message board for the film "Messages," the release date for the film has now been moved to  January 2007.   According to the Messages Official Site, the film was set to be a UK theatrical release October 2006 to coincide with Halloween. Bruce plays Dr. Robert Golding in this psychological thriller.  We're looking forward to seeing the film and will keep you posted on any further news.

Stay tuned for our Movie of the Month Update tomorrow.

November 1: It's all Saints Day, we've had our fun; There's new things to say now that Halloween's done. [OK so it's not Percy Bysshe Shelley or Lord Byron--who, BTW, were there on that fateful night when Mary Shelley first began writing the first science fiction novel--Frankenstein) (that was subtle, wasn't it?   )  Our Movie of the Month page will be unveiled this weekend. You'll ABSOLUTELY love it.  (Another real subtle hint).

In the meantime, since we've just a surfeit of monsters, villains, demons and all-around bad guys (wasn't it fun? ), we'd like to dedicate the month of November to Bruce the Hero,  Not only is it Bruce's birthday month, two of our Angels have birthdays this month also--Israfel and Byzantina, and they LOVE heroes.  In fact we all do here at Bruce's Angels (we wouldn't be angelic if we didn't, would we?). And CMoon is here to help us out.  Last week she brought us the romantic graphic "In Pursuit of Eternity. This week she brings us "The Knight."  You can see this one both on her fan art page and on the "The Return of the Hero Essay" page along with "In Pursuit of Eternity."  Hey, maybe we've biased (ya think?) but we think Bruce makes a fine, fine hero.  Just remember Major Baker in
Britannic or Jurgen in La Femme Nikita or..well, we could go on but you can check out the Hero page for yourself.  And wait till you see what CMoon has done in honor of Bruce's birthday...But we won't unveil that one till November 22..,
  A Knight to remember, indeed

October 22: In the Halloween season, it's easy to remember Bruce's evil roles (and we plan to next week!) but CMoon is helping us to remind fans and others that Bruce has done -- and in our opinion--should do Hero Roles.  Here's CMoon's fantasy "In Pursuit of Eternity" with Bruce as the Hero.

  Cisco's cinematic sinner...                dazzling Damodar...


October 6:
Thanks to our alert Angel CMoon for sending the link to  some new recent pics of Bruce. Three of them were taken at the National Youth Theatre 50th Anniversary gala on March 29 and 3 of them at the
Prada GQ Style party & spring/summer preview at Prada, Old Bond Street on March 30, 2006 in London, England.  The ones at the Prada event include 3 photos of Bruce and his wife (her name was not given).  The photos are copyright and very expensive to use legally on Internet web sites so we are sending fans directly to the web site of Getty Images so they can see the photos there.  Click on the link; then you have to scroll down the page till you find the 6 pictures. Click on each pic to enlarge and get more details. The 6th photo is a group pic that includes Ian McKellen as well as Bruce. Nice company!

Some of our Angels have been flying around (quite literally) and met in Europe.  Angels Gabriel and Ariel (BA webmaster) met Angel Ezechiel (webmaster of the French Bruce Payne web site) in her home town in France. What a sweet angel she is!  Intelligent and mature too, especially for someone so young.  Gabriel and Ariel were very impressed with her.  We put a pic of les trois anges (the 3 angels) on our Angels Page.    Thanks to Merlin and Israfel, who were the interim webmasters in Ariel's absence.

September 16:
Jurgen's Angels present a new Jurgen photostory. The text includes the lyrics from "The First of Me'" by Hoobastank. The poignant lyrics couldn't be more appropriate for Jurgen's story. Israfel, the Angel of Music, really likes this group.
  Click on the pic

September 12: New Movie Announcement! - According to the IMDb Pro, Bruce is listed in a new film "in development" called "The Book" due out in May, 2008.  According to the summary, the film is a psychological thriller about six characters who arrive one by one to investigate the disturbing paranormal events happening at an isolated, English coastal, cliff-top house.  Go to the official site at http://www.becarefulwhatyouread.com to view the trailer of the film. It looks very suspenseful and thrilling with faint, shadowy glimpses of aperson who looks like Bruce! We'll keep you posted.

September 9: Kell's Belles brings you NEW pics from Highlander: Endgame. On the DVD special features, there is an earlier full-length cut of HEG with different editing than the one shown in theatres. We have two new pages with pics from this earlier cut. Some of the pics are similar to what we already have, though they are just a little different, but most are brand new and different and they are delicious. Click on HEG: An Earlier Cut 1 and HEG: An Earlier Cut 2
  Oh, naughty Kell (you have to have the DVD to know why we say this... We can't show the clip that preceded this...)

September 1:
Ariel is back from World Con. She didn't find any Bruce goodies (ah nuts!) but she did talk to one poster dealer who agreed with her that Bruce was a fine actor. He especially loved Bruce in Warlock III (we did too!!). But we've found Bruce stuff at his shop before (seehollywoodbookandposter.com).  But she has some great pics to put up from the Con anyway. If you have never been to a World Con, it's a different universe!
click here for something completely different...


We also have 4 new entries for the Six Degrees of Separation page, including Viggo Mortensen, Helen Mirren and Arnold Schwartzenegger
  who does Bruce in Ripper lead back to?...

More to come later this weekend....It's time for the Movie of the Month and that's no fish story...







August 26:
Our webmaster Ariel is out of town again--attending the World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim CA--what fun!--but we don't want to break our tradition of updating every weekend so Israfel is the guest webmaster this weekend. She has created two pages of Bruce in Action (the ones the Photo Gallery has been promising for a long time!). Some of the pics are old but some are new so check them out at Bruce in Action I and Bruce in Action II.  Maybe Ariel will find some new Bruce goodies in the "Hucksters Room" (tables and tables of SF related stuff for sale--one of the most fun places at the Con)


August 20:
To all our regulars looking for their weekly Bruce fix: we didn't let you down!  Here it is! See below!! Our webmaster had to wrench herself away long enough to go to a conference and get back in time to party with the Angels because today is our cherub-in-training Devecia's birthday!!

  happy birthday


One of our favorite Bruce films is Kounterfeit.  It's charming, touching and those scenes with Colleen will give you a kick start too. .
So Israfel has made a new photostory with NEW pics we haven't used before as well as 11 new audio/video clips.  Remember, you don't have to download the Photostory to watch it.

  The money is funny and so are Frankie and Hop...


August 12: 
Feast your eyes on the two new graphics from angel CMoon.  Former BPMLers, wait till you get a whiff of the "Smell of Madness" featuring our favorite anti-social personality, the quite insane Charles Rane.  Then be "charmed" by "The Professional Demon."  We have put them on the Wallpaper page and on CMoon's Fan Art Page.
  Don't panic...                    We have to profess that we dig this demon...



And we have started a new page called "Saucy Stuff"--for tongue-in-cheek and other fun stuff that is Bruce-oriented but won't fit anywhere else. It's where we put the Hell of a Weekend, for example.

If you want the stuff, just click on that saucy she-devil

Demons, psychotics, saucy stuff...we angels can be such she-devils at times....but we love being angels too.. In honor of our "angelness" we decided to put to put all our angel graphics (including some new ones) together on one page so that when we are too naughty, we can go there and become good little angels again...

Here we are with our Six Degrees of Separation Game, as promised.  It was first inspired by a game from AGWLBP. We like it so much we brought it back. Click below for the explanation of the the origins of the game (in Dr. Stanley Milgram's research on the small-world phenomenon) and for our first few entries. Quick, who can tell us how many degrees of separation between Clint Eastwood and Bruce? .

August 5:
Are you ready for the shivers? ....Then wait till you see the photos on our new page for The Howling VI.  Not since Bela Lugosi has a vampire been this creepy sinister and this seductive at the same time--and Bruce is better-looking..WHEW!  Since  a new DVD of  The Howling V and VI just came out (see below, July 21 update) . we thought now would be a good time to post this new page.  Mischievous Israfel even lifted the lyrics of a well-known TV series for our purposes...And we are not alone in thinking that Bruce's performance is
spectacular. We found a boat load of  reviews praising Bruce's performance, including one from the one and only Joe Bob Briggs himself!  See below for other goodies from this film.
  "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to meet the Devil..."

To go along with this sinfully delicious page, Israfel has made a new photostory. And let's not forget "Howl Me Deadly," Ariel's musical slide show from last Halloween.

Our newest Angel CMoon has made us a beautiful Angel graphic. We've put it on the top of this page and on our Intro page as well as the CMoon Fan Art page.  Israfel and Ariel are so proud of it that both of them have made it their new wallpaper. CMoon surprised us with a new pic of Bruce that she got from a graphics site called corbis.com where she is a member.
 

August 4:
Our sister angel Ezechiel (aka Angelique) is celebrating the first anniversary of her French Bruce Payne web site. She has redone the top pages and is in the process of redoing the rest.  C'est tres beau!   Nous vous en felicitons!!  Congratulations!  Tomorrow we have a very special treat for fans, one that will send shivers up and down your spine...
Quelle web site fantastique!

July 30: We're back with the pics we promised.  As ZZ Top said so well, "Every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man..." and Lawrence McNiece is very sharp, tres chic, tres delicieux  in that tuxedo...17 new pics from Smart Money.   For those of you who are into the Six Degrees of Separation Game, the character Leon in Smart Money is played by Spencer Leigh, one of the Brit Pack who was interviewed for The Face  magazine article that featured Bruce as well as Gary Oldman and Tim Roth.  The concept of 6 degrees of separation is based on the Small World experiments done by Stanley Milgram, one of the most innovative and outstanding social psychologists of the 20th century.  We'll be back soon with more on this fascinating Milgram experiment...
  Who could think about dinner on a date like this...


July 29: 
It's time for our Movie of the Month and did you guess it?...  That's right--Smart Money.  We're doing it in two parts. Go to the SM MOTM page and you will see links to new audio clips, the calendar of the month and a new photo story.  Tomorrow we will have some luscious new pics from SM.  We love a man in a tuxedo especially when he looks as suave and charming as Bruce...
  a 1000 watt dazzling smile...

July 28: 
Our Cherub-in-Training Devecia has picked out her favorite Bruce pics. You can see them at the Fan Favorites Gallery. Don't forget that you can have a page too.  Just send us jpgs of your favorite Bruce photos from our web sites and we'll make a page for you too.

Meanwhile Angel Sofia is almost done with the new buttons for the Villain page. Each one is unique and a work of art in itself.  We couldn't wait to post them even though there's a few more to do.


Stay tuned tomorrow for our Movie of the Month.  If you're Smart, you can bet Money on what it will be...

July 23: 
Continuing with the Royal Treatment, the Byzy Angels have posted 5 new pics of Domitian, really scrumptious ones, we might add, at Bruce Payne Rules      Meanwhile Qamiel has posted 2 new Damodar graphics at Kool Bruce Payne and we have posted the spectacular new Damodar logo Ezechiel created for us.  Speaking of Damodar, we can tell everytime one of the D&D movies is on TV (like yesterday) because we get bunches of hits from the Wiki D&D pages--10 from Wiki and also 2 from the IMDb. And Israfel didn't even make them do it. :).
  a rara avis indeed...

Ariel and Qamiel have now posted their favorite pics of Bruce. We invite other fans to send in their favorites too.  There's a button with your name on it at the Fan Favorites Photo Gallery...

July 22:  We said we were going to give you the Royal Treatment this weekend and here it is...the Royal Domitian that is...a new animated Domitian graphic with 5 new pics plus 5 new still photos PLUS 5 audio/video clips. Join our Roman Banquet and feast your eyes and ears on the Royal Emperor Domitian.

July 21:
We have a RED HOT announcement that's spicier than a CHILI PEPPER. We decided to have our very own Terms of Use. Heck, if other fan sites are doing it, why not us?  Terms of Use




We see  that AGWLBP is now back online after being offline for over 2 weeks. The Retraction and Apology for the remarks that the ex-webmaster made about us have been removed. Click here for our comments and the Retraction.




Our Shining Star, sister Angel CMoon, who recently joined us, was sweet enough to send Ariel a belated birthday present--a new Jurgen graphic (she figured out that he is Ariel's favorite, bless her heart).  Needless to say,  Ariel is thrilled and wants to share it with other fans. You can find it on CMoon's Fan Art Page and on the La Femme Nikita page. 



CMoon has also sent us her favorite pics from Bruce films. You can find them in a gorgeous collage on the Fan Favorites Photo Gallery pages.



We appreciate CMoon's wonderful additions to Bruce's Angels and have now made her a full-fledged Bruce 's Angel.  Welcome to our team!


For those who like to read tongue-in cheek movie reviews (for some reason we are partial to them ourselves ), check out this review of the new DVD release of The Howling V and VI.  A little sarcastic, it's true, but in its own way rather flattering to Bruce. See our comments about it on the BA Forum.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE GOODIES.  WE GOING TO GIVE YOU THE ROYAL TREATMENT THE REST OF THE WEEKEND.


July 16: We're starting a new feature for Bruce fans: We have created a Fan Favorites Photo Gallery. Since Israfel is the Photos Manager, she gets to go first!  She had to create four collages to include all her favs because she has seen nearly all of Bruce's films.  We're getting all of the Angels into the act. We invite you all to send in your favorites.  We'll make a page and button  for you too. Don't worry, you don't have to send in as many as Israfel!!  All you have to do is capture your favs from any Bruce's Angels-affiliated web site (see Links page for the Bruce's Angels Associates List). Please don't use one from other sites. :) 

Meanwhile in our quest to spread Bruce Payne's name all over Wikipedia   we have added Bruce fan site links to the Wiki pages for Necronomicon and The Fruit Machine/akaWonderland


July 15:
ALL BRUCE, ALL OVER THE WORLD.  That's our theme this weekend.  To all the Bruce fans around the world--we appreciate your visits and to those of you who have written us, your kind words. We hope you all enjoy the new treats this weekend from your sister fans in France and the Ukraine. We are indeed a worldwide community--the Payne Population--who appreciate Bruce Payne.  If any others of you have artwork you'd like to share with the Payne Population, please send it in.  We welcome all Bruce fans.

For our piece de resistance, we have not one but two screensavers, one with CMoons's graphics and one with Angelique's.  We are truly blessed to have such talented angels on our team.  Click here for CMoon's Celestial Celebration and Angelique's Awesome Art.
   Celestial Celebrating...    Awesome Art...

July 14:
Happy Bastille Day!  Bonjour a touts les Bruce fans!  Nous vous aimons!  In fact, hello to Bruce fans all over the world! We dedicate this weekend to the many Bruce fans around the globe who regularly visit us: Hello to Bosnia, Poland, Ukraine, France, Australia, Ireland, UK,  Bulgaria, Japan, Canada, Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Portugal, the Netherlands and many more...

For the first day of our World Fan Celebration, we bring you wondrous graphics from our Ukrainian associate angel CMoon. Her talent is awesome! Check out the four new wallpapers from CMoon. We have also placed them on CMoon's fan art page. If you love her graphics as much as we do, you'll be thrilled to see what else she has created on her NEW BRUCE PAYNE WEB SITE!!!  It's called Magnificent Bruce Payne (http://brucepayne.ucoz.ru/) and is aptly named, not only because BP is indeed magnificent but so are CMoon's graphics!! When you arrive on the site (which is in Russian), click on the word "Apt" in the left hand frame--this will lead you to the graphics gallery. Keep clicking because it is a rotating gallery. It'll take your breath away!  Stay tuned tomorrow for more graphics around the world....
  Wait till you see Kell's eyes in this one...Utterly breathtaking!


magnificent bruce payne  NEW BRUCE PAYNE WEB SITE (IN RUSSIAN)  Spahcebo!

And don't forget about Angelique's newly updated Bruce Payne in French web site. Bruce is truly international!

    C'est si bon! Merci!

We're back to give you more  hellthis weekend...hellborn to be wildthat is. We've posted this 2002 article from  Fangoria on our HELL OF A WEEKEND PAGE
 
Doctor, doctor, give us a report. What’s the diagnosis for Dr. McCort? 


July 7:  
We're going to bring you ahell of a weekend...Hellboy, that is...Israfel tells us why she thinks Ron Perlman and Bruce would  make a terrific dynamic duo as heroes in Hellboy 2.   Tomorrow we will give you more HELL...another related theme item, that is...in our continuing sizzling summer spectacular
click here

     The other dynamic duo has nothing on these guys!


July 4:   More treats for the Great American Holiday.  These pics are definitely worth some fireworks!  First of all, our Honorary Angel CMoon has sent yet another stunning graphic. This one is from Ripper and is entitled "Thinking about the Impossible."  We have once again posted it both on the CMoon fan art page and the wallpaper page.
Doesn't this just "rip" your heart out...

Our affiliate web site Welcome to the House of Payne has posted a deliciously sinister new Hellborn/Asylum of the Damned pic from Fangoria.

Our brother Angel Qamiel speaks his mind on the tensions between Bruce's Angels and AGWLBP. Since his web site Kool Bruce Payne is indirectly involved in the dispute, he has some points to make.  Click here to go to the BA Forum


 



July 2: 6pm:
Our Honorary Angel CMoon has graced us with another fantastic graphic. This one is from Full Eclipse. Come to think of it, we have TWO Queens of Graphics on this web site, don't we?  Aren't we lucky!!  We have placed it on CMoon's fan art pagewallpaper page, and on the Full Eclipse page of Welcome to the House of Payne
  We're "howling" with delight at this one...


10am: 
To add to the summer festivities, angel Sofia, the Queen of BA Graphics, has made kool new buttons for the Villain page. She has a few more to do but we liked them so much, we couldn't wait.  Check them out for yourself

July 1: 
  


TIME FOR OUR SIZZLING SUMMER SPECTACULAR TO START!!  We're going to start it off with a parade...
Privates on Parade...POP is our Movie of the Month and we have for you: the new BA POP page, a new photostory, a new screensaver, and of course the POP Calendar page.  Bruce at 21 was an adorable doll. Check it out!  You think "there ain't no cure for the summertime blues"?  Well, think again.  There's more to come to heat up  your days and nights!

            
Click here to start the Parade 

                                       





June 25: 
We have expanded our Fan Art pages to include Angelique (aka Angel Ezechiel) and CMoon.  We appreciate their wonderful graphics so much and think the graphics are so beautiful that we decided they deserve pages of their own. Devecia also has a new graphic too.  Click below.
   CMOON                  ANGELIQUE                 CLICK HERE

June 24: 
As promised, the second half of the stunning, sensational, spectacular Sofia Bruce Calendar is here!  She has really outdone herself this time and we are thrilled. See for yourself by clicking on the calendar graphic below.
  What day is it?  Why, every day is Bruce day with this fine calendar...

June 23:
We have waited a long time to post a copy of one of our favorite photos of Bruce (since we never take pics from other BP fan sites) but patience is a virtue and we finally have our own copies. You can see our mini-essay about this photo, "Every Picture Tells a Story" by clicking here.   We have also added it to our publicity photo page.


To go along with this yummy picture, we also have a new photostory from Ripper entitled "Set Me Free."  It is inspired by the lyrics of a song of the same title by Casting Crowns. The lyrics parallel the story of Marshall Kane and are included in the photostory.
       click here

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow when we bring you the last half of Sofia's spectacular Bruce Calendar.

June 21: 
We now return to our "regular programming."  All Bruce, All the Time. We love Bruce's villains but we think he is terrrifc as a hero too. We think it's time to feature one of his HEROES and we know just the one--every Bruce fan's favorite physician --Dr. Burton in Silence Like Glass.  We have posted a new photostory (including new photos that we have not used before) and 7 new audio/video clips.  What a sweetheart Dr. Burton is and these pics show it.

gentle doctor  This doc is the perfect prescription for any Bruce fan...


June 20:    
We are happy to report that the conflict with AGWLBP has been resolved in a satisfactory manner. The inappropriate remarks about us have been removed and a retraction and apology posted . Click here to see it. [ NOTE: As of July 17, AGWLBP which had been offline for over 2 weeks, is now back without the retraction] the defamatory remarks have been removed from AGWLB In turn, we have removed our strongly worded reply and defense.We agree with AGWLBP 's statement that "conflict between sites is not appropriate."  We have never wanted to fight with any other fan site.  We think the other sites are great-- and Bruce deserves them all.  We should all be spending our web site time doing what we are all really here for--celebrating and promoting a fine actor--Bruce Payne. He deserves our finest efforts, not internecine bickering.

We agree that all of us, every site, must be diligent, in making sure that proper netiquette is observed and credit given for ideas or materials borrowed from other sites. We have always tried to do this but if we have failed in some respect, it was not intentional and any such lapses have been rectified. We hope other sites will do the same too. In the past, we have felt that some of our ideas have been borrowed without recognition, most notably the idea for our Kool Bruce Payne site.  However, we hope that we may now look forward to an increased understanding and cooperation among the various BP fan sites. Bruce Payne deserves no less.

Tomorrow we will return to our "regular programming" and post the Silence Like Glass treats we promised. On the weekend, fans can look forward to the next installment of angel Sofia's fantastic Bruce Calendar (namely the rest of the year!!)  She's really outdone herself again!


June 16: 
CMoon, our Ukrainian Angel, has created another WONDERFUL Damodar graphic for us based on one of the new pics that we just added. Check it out at our D&DII page.   We are also putting it on our Wallpaper page where you can really appreciate it in large scale.  She calls it "Free."  What a talent!
  Damodar longs to be free...  


June 14:  For a little midweek treat, w
e've found some delicious new photos that we couldn't resist putting up. We think you'll like them too. Leave it to Israfel to find more Damodar pics: (What a rascal she is )  A stunning new Damodar profile (and who has a better profile than Bruce?) from DD2;  a behind the scenes pic from DD1and a kool and unusual interpretation of a Bruce publicity photoMeanwhile our brother angel (with some help from Israfel) has put up another kool wallpaper at Kool Bruce Payne.       Stay tuned for more surprises this weekend...
 
And, being the sly dogs they are, they named it "Kell, Yes."

June 10:  Continuing our wicked Warlock weekend, we have added a Warlock III page to Wikipedia, making it a wicked Wiki Warlock weekend. .     Plus we added an animated Bruce pic set to our Warlock page (with the new pics).

Something wicked this way comes...



June 9: 
Speaking of entrancing, we decided that we needed more Warlock material. After all, Bruce is at his most charming and gorgeous in this film. so we have a new screensaver entitled "The Devil in the Details" (including new pics we haven't used before) plus 15 new audio/video clips.  
 
Elegant, charismatic Phillip Covington....  

June 3:
Time for the June Movie of the Month and Israfel is in ecstasy because it's DUNGEONS & DRAGONS!! 
Besides all the old goodies (including Sofia's fabulous calendar), we have LOTS OF NEW GOODIES: Israfels's new photostory "Damodar in Action" with NEW juicy fight scene pics; Ariel's new musical slide show, "Damodar's Dastardly Deeds," including lots of new pics with dragons flying and Damodar smirking to the tune of "Ride of the Valkyries"; 12 new pics on the D&D I page; and 6 NEW audio/video clips from D&D I.  We have also added CMoon's dazzling graphic to the Wallpaper page.
(see below.We have named it Crystal Damodar)

Click here for the June Movie of the Month page with links to all the goodies

We are so entranced with CMoon's graphics and so pleased that she wants to share them with us that we have made her an Honorary Angel. We are fortunate to have her working with us.  We have added a link to her site on our Links page. 


May 31:
  The Internet has been good to us. Israfel just acquired an original poster of Warlock III and Ariel just bought a copy of a early publicity photo of Bruce. So we decided to create a new page entitled "Publicity Photos and Posters,"  We will stay on the lookout for more..
Blonds have more fun....


Meanwhile, as promised on May 13, we continue to link to other new Bruce-related sites. CMoon, a Ukrainian Bruce fan who recently contacted us, has a space on a Russian site called "Diary."  Her stunning graphic work is featured there. Click on the photo of Bruce plus more by scrolling down the page.  Keep up the fabulous good work, CMoon!

And speaking of CMoon's stunning graphics, she just sent us a Damodar graphic that will make Israfel flip!  Check it out on our D&D2 page.   Thanks!!
  THIS is fabulous!!  Damodar, you sparkle...


May 27: 
Miss Marple: Nemesis was highly praised when it was shown on TV in 1988.  Bruce plays the mysterious Michael Rafiel. A good guy or a bad guy?  Maybe that won''t be a "mystery" to you but the dark secret will be.  Fifteen fine fine fotos from Israfel's amazing collection plus an animated set with 6 more. But wait, there's more...5 audio/video clips too.
  Those fine fine eyes...

May 20:
When we realized that we didn't have a Ripper page, we gave ourselves an F on that exam. After all Professor Kane is our favorite teacher so we had to stop playing hooky on that film and get the page up. Bruce never looked better! Israfel outdid herself with 23 pics that definitely earn an A in our gradebook.  And Ariel offers a mini-lesson in the definition of "forensic psychology."   It's not just criminal profiling. Those teachers, always defining terms...
 
We''d love to be the teacher's pet in his class ...click here

In fact Bruce looks so good that we couldn't resist doing another screensaver, "The Professor."  This one is definitely an A+. 

  Do you allow extra credit in this class?


May 19:
Take a Roman Holiday with us...The first one featured Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck; our Photostory features Cassius from Cleopatra and Domitian from The Apocalypse. Enjoy your "vacation"...
  We're ready for that vacation...
       Click here

For our Roman Holiday, we have also added a new Cleopatra page. Bruce plays Cassius of the "lean and hungry look." In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare says of Cassius "He thinks too much; such men are dangerous."  We certainly agree that Cassius is dangerous...
  Hail, Cassius

May 17: 
We think the Brothel web site
(which we first mentioned on our May 8 Update) is so stunning and the trailer so intriguing that we have started a new topic on the Brothel IMDb message board. Comments about the web site and trailer welcome. Bruce looks terrific in it!  Brothel IMDb link.    Brothel web site link.



May 13:
We love Bruce as a villain but we adore him as a comic actor. He gets to show off his comic talents in the wacky film Pyrates. We have 8 photos of Liam, the adorable rogue, 5 pics in the animated set, and 9 audio/video clips now posted.   Click here for PYRATES and for AUDIO/VIDEO
  We do so adore a rogue...

If anyone has any Bruce Movie, TV news/info, please FEEL FREE to share it with us. If you are another Bruce Payne fan site, please FEEL FREE to share your url along with your news!  We welcome any Bruce Payne fan site and will proudly display your url address! Don’t worry, any other BP fan site complete with the url that you mention on Bruce’s Angels Forum is not written in disappearing ink. It will not be deleted so share with us anytime!  After all, our motto is “All Bruce, All the Time”!  Promoting other BP fan sites is promoting Bruce and we’re all for that!

Now if you wonder why we say this, we explain the "mysterious case of the disappearing ink" on our new Forum topic "As the Web Sites Turn," our very own soap opera on the Internet:
BRUCESANGELSFORUM: "As the Web Sites Turn"


 

May 12:
The Warlock pic above is just too kool not to make it into a wallpaper. [We've changed the heading to the film title] So check it out here:
click here

Meanwhile we now have animated Bruce pics on the Highlander page and on Welcome to the House of Payne Asylum of the Damned page.  The latter contains new pics not used before. We are having fun!   Stay tuned for more tomorrow...

May 8:
The Brothel, a Bruce film that has been languishing, now has a newly updated and very handsome web site. And best of all, it has a trailer that includes Bruce. Check out the site at this link   According to the IMDb, the film is scheduled for release this year.

To go along with our new musical slide show "To Kell and Back," we now have 11 audio/video clips from Highlander: Endgame featuring "Guess who?":Jacob Kell.  There can be only one and in our version it's not Duncan.
click here 
Brought to you by Kell's Belles of course.



May 6:
Continuing our Yellowthread Street theme, we have posted 3 audio/video clips from the "Slicing the Dragon" episode. Bruce is roguishly adorable as Detective Nick Eden in these short clips from the video. Since the series tapes are rare, it's one way for more fans to see him in action in this series
click here

And we liked the pic of Bruce at the National Youth Theatre gala so much, we made it into a wallpaper.   The background of the wallpaper is the famous Globe Theatre in London.
  "Bruce on Stage"


May 5: 
And now we return to our regular programming...All Bruce, all the time.   Now playing: Yellowthread Street, featuring "Slicing the Dragon" and "I Knew a Man"  Photostories.  These tapes are rare so enjoy!  Remember that you don't have to download these photostories to view them.

In our Second Anniversary commentary, we promised that we would continue our Wiki work and we have.  We created a Wikipedia page for Paranoia 1.0, one of our favorite Bruce films.

MAY 1:  OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY IS OFFICIALLY HERE!!  WE DID IT. WE'VE LASTED TWO YEARS and don't think it's been easy...

Bruce's Angels

Second Anniversary



congrats 


First of all, we raise a toast to the inspiration for this fan site: Bruce Payne. A terrific actor and a gorgeous man!
Long may he live in health and in wealth!
   



Second of all, check out our commentary on what we have accomplished this year and what we hope to accomplish in the next.
THOUGHTS ON OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY


     
Third, we couldn't resist this angelic composition:

warlock with angels
Ariel, Israfel, Ezechiel, Sofia, Byzantina,
Gabriel, Qamiel, Devecia, Merlin
Twowings

This brings our Big Blowout Birthday Bonanza to a close.
Next weekend, we will resume our normal programming, bringing fans more goodies and treats.
All Bruce, all the time!

STAY TUNED!







April 30:
It's the third day of our 
Big Blowout Birthday Bonanza Bash  and we're going into our second year with a new look. First of all is the new "Many Faces of Bruce Payne" morphing picture on our Home Page. Look for more morphing pics in the future. We get a kick out of them and hope you do too. Secondly we're restructuring the Links Frame and Home Page so that you when you click on a link, you get the new page displayed full size.  Watch for that soon.

Our Extra Special Treat is a new fanfic by Israfel with Ariel: Kell's Angels, in which Samantha Spade meets Jacob Kell.  This story, besides dealing with one of our favorite villains, is an homage to Dashiell Hammett and his famous detective Sam Spade.  Many of you may recall the film, The Maltese Falcon.  But Hammett's Spade looked nothing like Humphrey Bogart. Bogart was short and dark.  Hammett's Spade was tall, with a long jaw, and described as looking like a "blond Satan."  H-m-m-h, does that sound like anyone we know of?...

Come knock on the door of the Spade Detective Agency; Samantha Spade, Proprietor...THE DOOR

  "Of all the detective agencies in the world, he had to walk into mine."

Party on!!  And we'll wind up tomorrow (our "official" anniversary date) with our Grand Finale and a Toast to Bruce.     
          
       


April 29:
  On the second day of our 
Big Blowout Birthday Bonanza Bash, we have a musical treat: To Kell and Back
a musical slide show presented by Kell's Belles. The music is entitled "Music for Beltaine," (Beltaine is an ancient Celtic festival).                      The music is like nothing you have ever heard before.   It's wild and pagan and seems to fit the Jacob Kell story.  



Our second treat is one we promised a while back--the updated version of the D&D2 Photo Story "Wrath of the Dragon God" with crisp new pics from the DVD to replace the old ones we captured from the Sci Fi Channel.  Israfel really went wild on this one.
To enter the world of the Dragon God...


As always, the pics of Bruce are .  After these two visual treats, you may need a cool drink  so party down with us and toast the inspiration for this web site:

April 28: We are heading into our
Big Blowout Birthday Bonanza Bash for the Second Anniversary of Bruce's Angels (May 1)Join us for our All-Weekend Party--Lots of starting with the May Movie of the Month: PASSENGER 57.  For your in-flight pleasure, we have a new screensaver with the most delicious pics of Charles Rane in our vast collection as well as a new wallpaper.

April 12:
We Angels are flying away to a Celestial Conference this weekend so we are doing our weekend update early...

On the IMDb Bruce Payne Message Board there is a current discussion of a recent Verizon Commercial with an actor who looks like Bruce. Some of the people there thought it might be Bruce but we have seen the ad and it's definitely not Bruce. However it looks as if the ad was actually designed to evoke Bruce's image--the guy, who does look a bit like Bruce, has Jurgen's hair and Yellow's long black coat and is a hood.  It does evoke the Keen Eddie episode--almost as if someone at the ad agency said to Video Casting--"Get me a Bruce Payne." Naturally we would have preferred the real thing...but it did inspire us to put together a Keen Eddie photo story entitled "My Name is Yellow."  It includes a few new pics from that episode that we will post later on our Keen Eddie page.

click here  This Yellow is not mellow...

April 8: 
OK, we've given some time to the Bad Boys; let's not forget all the Good Guys that Bruce has played. We have just posted a new Operation Intercept page with 14 pics. What can we say--gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.  Bruce's villains are superb but we think he is terrific in his hero roles too.
  Yes Sir, Major Pruett, anything you say...

April 7:
Bruce has played many Bad Boys and fans love them. So we made a new photo story called "Bad to the Bone" and will soon follow with a new photo gallery of that name. Click here for the photo story.
  B-b-b-b-b-a-a-d to the bone....

On March 29 we posted a link to a story (with pics of Bruce) about a gala for the 50th Anniversary of the National Youth Theatre. Bruce is of course an alumnus of NYT. Here's one of the photos of Bruce that was posted on that web site (whatsonstage.com). Enjoy...
  Love that twinkle in his eyes...


April 2:
That fantastic Fangoria article whetted our appetite for more Warlock pics so we have added 11 NEW ones that don't appear on any of our sites. Bruce always looks gorgeous but never more gorgeous than in Warlock III. Feast your eyes on these ...CLICK

These delectable, delicious photos are to die for...well. metaphorically speaking of course. Ariel is in bliss over these breathtaking, bold beauties ... and you may be too!!

March 18:
Israfel has been scouring the planet for articles about Bruce and her search is being rewarded...a copy of the June 1993 Film Review with a kool interview with Bruce and a review of Passenger 57 has been posted along with two of the photos of Bruce from the magazine. 

  How did you say you wanted your steak, Mr. Rane?

March 17:  A  St. Patrick's Day Greeting from Kell's Belles:

happy irish day

St Patrick may have driven the Celtic religion out of Ireland but we frankly prefer the Celtic traditions over the green beer and leprechauns Americans trot out on this day. Since the Celts celebrated the Spring Equinox (March 20), we honored that day with our Spring Equinox page last year. It discusses the origins of the celebration and has a few words about the Book of Kells...and some pics of Guess Who..
...and in fact speaking of Kells...here's our favorite Kell...
 


AND BESIDES ALL THAT, that rascal Israfel has done it again!  Yes, another Damodar treat, this time it's a photo story entitled "Damodar Photo Album" and it's got NEW pics we haven't posted before.. She must have captured every Damodar frame in the whole movie!  Well, that's OK with the rest of us angels. Damodar is pretty kool.
  Gee, our family album isn't like this...



March 11:
As promised, we have a new Warlock treat: The article on Warlock III from Fangoria, Oct., 1999. It includes three pics of Bruce as the Warlock. This article does not appear on any other fan site.  The devil is in the details and there are plenty of them in this article. Director Eric Freiser said of  Bruce's performance: "Bruce brought to the film his own brand of evil intensity and the suave charisma that was required for the Warlock."  Amen!  Click here.
   We get the point, Philip. 

March 10:
Israfel got carried away with her latest Photo Story "The Devil is in the Details" from The Warlock III and who can blame her? Bruce is at his most sensational, sensuous, sinister best in this one.  These luscious pics (some of which are brand new to this site) are worth every second of the download time for this presentation of Philip Covington, the Warlock...w-h-e-w!  Excuse us while we hit the Go button again...and again...and again...And stay tuned for another Warlock treat coming this weekend...
  Light a candle for us, Phil

March 6:

Damodar Dementia continues!  Ariel has created another musical slide show, this time featuring the one and only Lord Damodar.

As promised we have new goodies. Santa Claus was very nice to Israfel. She received a book and some fan magazines with behind the scenes photos of Bruce and other tasty tidbits. We have for our first offering some photos from the book The Making of Dungeons & Dragons which we have placed in Damodar's Scrapbook.  Some of these photos (including the one below) do not appear on any other fan site.  Stay tuned because there is much more to come soon...
Bruce and the Director of D&D.

Our 10-year-old cherub-in-training Devecia is now creating logos. (We have quite a team here at BA.   )  You can see her logo for Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire at either the BTKAGBV site or Devecia's fanart page.  Next thing you know she'll be designing web sites...
  We couldn't say it better ourselves...

January 20:
A new year and a new look. We are changing the look of Bruce's Angels, starting with new buttons on the Hero and Comic Actor pages and now the front page. There will be more changes to come. What is not changing is our dedication to bringing fans fine photos of Bruce, goodies as we create them, and new information as it becomes available.  Tomorrow will bring some new surprises and goodies!

January 19:
The webmasters of brucepayne.de and AGWLBP have announced that they are quitting.  We hope these excellent web sites remains online because they both have contributed tremendously to Bruce Payne fandom.  We thank them for their contributions over the last few years and wish them the best in their new paths. We also thank them for the link to Bruce’s Angels.



January 15:
Israfel's photo collection runneth over and so we are posting more delicious pics for fans. This time it's a very young Bruce In Oxford Blues.
 
Isn't he a cutie? 

It has come to our attention that the webmaster of A Girl Who Loves Bruce Payne is leaving after eight years. We think AGWLBP is one of the best fan sites on the web. The webmaster has created a site that is unique and stylish.   Israfel has followed it for six years and Ariel for three; they have enjoyed it thoroughly. We wish her the best in wherever her path takes her. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

January 13: 
This won't be an unlucky Friday the 13th with this "fallen angel":   That's the name of our new screensaver with pics of Jacob Kell the Priest from Highlander: Endgame.
