I just keep watching this over and over trying to figure out where I can find a pair of mules like those red and gold velvet/brocade slippers

It is, in a word:

right? the papal ass is a thing of beauty.

omfg i loved this scene. I LOVE THIS SHOW SO. MUCH.

PLEASE. I need this. I have the weirdest ladyboner for a religious figure for the first time in my life but also, like, I want to BE him, you know?

Wait... NOW I’m going to watch the show.

He has a little bulge and I think it’s sexy AF.

It was meant to be, though it’s not just something Lenny cooked up. It used to be practice between Cardinals and a new Pope. I think the practice was abandoned in the 40s?

“yes...”

I get the impression this may be homage to I Want Candy in the Marie Antoinette movie. Actually, the whole tone of The Young Pope seems like a homage to the movie. 

All I can say is that this show has made me fall in love with Jude Law all over again.

I mean, they already shot the ad for it.

Clover, the way you describe him, it sounds like you think he should do an S&M line.

There’s an issue of Vanity Fair from 1998, I think, which has an interview and a photo spread and I need to see if I can order a copy somehow from VF because you are 100% correct and that is the proof.

Late 90s Jude Law is the pinnacle of human beauty. He’s still hot now, but FUCK was he breathtaking then.

I’m not sure if it’s just my European perspective or what, but - ARE YOU SERIOUS? “Doesn’t have much to say”? Do you genuinely believe, for instance, that the final shot of Episode 4 “means nothing, but it looks so good”? Haven’t you noticed that - to limit myself to the most obvious observations - this scene is…

If the TARDIS ever lands on my lawn (please be the Tenth Doctor), the first place we are going is to the set of The Talented Mr Ripley and we’re getting late-90s Jude Law on board. Then you’ll never see any of us again. ;)

Jude Law as the young pope is a total gangster and he knows it. The man is a bare-knuckle street brawler whose ring just happens to be the Holy See. The man also has an incredible wardrobe that stays impossibly clean.

This show is perfect mastrubation hour.

i fucking love this show. jude law is incredible. young pope in a hoodie is a real hottie. i love how smug he is and i love how he wants to fuck shit up.
