Thankful of Matt Lanter

Tis the season the be thankful.  What am I thankful for???  Well, amongst the things I am thankful for is that God blessed Matt Lanter with such great talent and allows him to be able to share his great talent with all of us.  Thank God for giving us an actor who is not only talented, but is a truly great guy with a great heart.  I'm thankful that we all are able to know who he is.  Enjoy the all latest pictures of Matt, there's a lot, and be thankful he is who he is :)

Liam Rewind: "They're Playing Her Song"

And the streak continues...Maybe I should change this to the "Liam Rant".  Right when you thought it wasn't possible to have any less Liam than there already was, the writers of 90210 proved me wrong by showing even less Liam than in previous weeks.  Less than two minutes of Liam this week, I think we are lucky if there was a minute.  There isn't really much to say.  The only time we saw Liam this week is when he is having lunch with Teddy and Dixon.  Even then, the kept panning away from him.  I think the extra playing the waitress had an equal amount of screen time as him.  What is going on?  Matt's part this week was essentially like that of an extra, he only had a few lines.  The only difference between him and the extra is the talent that he brings.  Even in those brief moment we were fortunate enough to have seen Liam, he was completely was spot on and shinned.  Which goes to show there is no such thing as small parts.  With that cliche, there is such things as not having enough screen time.  The only positive is the fact that Matt steals the screen every time his is on.  What is the show thinking not giving us more Matt Lanter.  I can't be the only one that thinks he plays a huge role in drawing people in.  But I have a little hope that we will see more Matt once the show comes back in the new year.  Matt tweeted this week that he was filming with Evan Ross, which hopefully means the storyline we've all been wondering about will be unraveled and more screen time for Matt!

More Golfing Fun With Matt

As I posted yesterday, Matt went golfing with Bubba Watson.  Here's an article posted on the Travis Mathew website. How fun would it have been to see this!?!

Bubba Watson and Matt Lanter

November 12th, 2010

Before Bubba Watson left Southern California yesterday to head back to his home in Scottsdale, he met up with actor Matt Lanter for a round of golf at Shady Canyon Golf Club. The two got in touch through Twitter and Bubba made it a point to get together during his time here at the Travis Mathew offices.

Golfing Fun With Matt

In case you haven't noticed, Matt likes to golf.  As one who likes to play and watch golf, I always find it ever so interesting when Matt tweets golf stuff.  The other day he tweeted these photos during his downtime while shooting.  And may I say that's a really nice sand wedge that Matt uses.

@MattLanter:  What do you do when your shooting on the beach and have downtime?......work on your bunker shots of course!

 
The golf fun does not end with those photos.  Today Bubba Watson tweeted this today:

@bubbawatson:  Going to play golf with @MattLanter! I bet he beats @Tom_Belshaw 96 1st time we played golf together!!! #urwelcome

Can I just say how much I would love and I mean love the opportunity to watch them play.  In case you don't know who Bubba Watson is, he is a PGA golfer who had a pretty good year.  This would be so awesome to see.  And I really want to see Matt play, I'm sure he's good, probably not Bubba Watson good, but good.  Golf lessons from Matt Lanter, now that would be a dream come true.  Who knew the one thing that would pull my eyes off of Matt Lanter if he was in my view would be a golf ball. 

Liam Rewind: "Mother Dearest"

Oh the bro-mance that is between the guys on 90210 is so fun to watch.  It always brings out a different side of Liam, a more fun and relaxed side.  The first time we see Liam is when he, Dixon, and Navid are about to go catch some waves.  It is nice to see Liam without psyco Laura.  We learn that Liam told Laura that he would deal with her, but not the bags.  Good for Liam for steering clear of that mess and having no part in Laura's drug dealing business.  I must say I am a little disappointed that they did nothing with that storyline.  It had a lot of potential to be something interesting, but they really cut it off short.  Then again, we they never showed what happened at the end of last season with Liam either.  But maybe, that isn't the end of it.  Maybe Laura may find herself in a mess and Liam won't be able not to get himself involved.  Who knows.  It was nice to see Liam not so serious.  It was also quite funny when you see how awkward Liam and Navid are every time Ivy came around, clearly Dixon had told them what had happened.  In this episode I really saw Liam as a high school student.  He really seemed to be having fun in this episode and even a little excited when at the red carpet.

However, once again Liam's screen time was three minutes, maybe less.  I really do not understand why this is.  It leaves me somewhat dumbfounded that Matt Lanter is not being used more.  Last season he had more of a starring role, and may I go as far as saying he was the leading man.  But this season, he has really had a supporting role and is more in the shadows.  We hardly get to see him.  And it is not like he doesn't have a storyline.  The show introduces his half-brother yet, have barely revealed anything.  While I love the show, I am disappointed to see so little of Matt.  I don't know what the show and the writers are thinking not giving Matt more scenes.  He is such a talented actor and does make the scenes he is in shine.  I just feel they need to utilize his talents more.  Just by watching the scenes he has, you can see how great Matt is at what he does.  I know I am sounding like a broken record the way I rant about this.  My hope is that in the new year we will be seeing much more Matt!



Question:  Has there been an episode where Liam hasn't had his shirt off!?!

Matt at the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk

Check out the pictures Matt posted on his twitter page this morning of him at the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk.  Too bad we can't hear what Matt said during his speech.  I truly believe that Matt is one of the sweetest guys who has a heart of gold.  This is a really cool too see Matt part of such a great cause.  In my opinion Matt is the embodiment of awesomesauce.

Is that a Falcons' hat I see Matt sporting???  I believe it is.

The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. To learn more about the Alzheimer's Association or to make a donation, visit their website.

If you click on the picture you'll be able to zoom in and actually read the article.  Matt looks gorgeous in the these photographs, but you have to give major credit to Elias Tahan for taking such amazing pictures.  I am absolutely in love with his work.  Elias' work really is breathtaking, don't you agree? 

Liam Rewind: "I See London, I See France..."

What is it going to take to get more Liam on 90210???  Last week his name was in the episode's title and was still hardly on it.  If you were to fast forward and watch the scenes with Liam, you'd be done in three minutes tops.  It is not like Liam doesn't have a storyline, so why are we hardly seeing Liam?  Will our questions ever get answered?  Or will we continue to just ask more?  However, Matt is outstanding during the scenes that he does have.  The scenes are always memorable and leave you wanting more.  Matt does such a great job at portraying Liam, that the audience always knows exactly what it going on with Liam.  Matt is so talented, I really wish we would see more of him.  I'll stop with my ranting and tackle last night's episode.

If you were to fill in the blank for the rest of that phrase, it would be "I see Liam's underwear."  Last night's episode drew you in instantly.  And almost had you believing that we would be seeing more Liam this week, but once again they were only teasing us.  The episode began with Laura watching Liam sleep.  Creepy right?  Once again the show has managed to work Liam without a shirt on again.  Has there been an episode this season where Liam hasn't had his shirt off???  I wonder how Matt feels about this?
