I cannot afford to buy all the maximum cards / maxicards that I'd like, so I missed these.
I don't have them, so I'll just comment on them.

Geoffrey Rush non-FIP maximum card, by Australia Post
Two stamps, not one!...."sacrilege against FIP!"...:)
....and the actor is alive!
The USPS wouldn't issue a stamp about a living person. Gotta wait 5 years after death, or 1 year after a US President's death.
But Australia Post, and a few other more open-minded postal administrations, see no problem with that. Just opportunities.
That's how USPS has lost, over time, many millions of dollars in potential revenue: "no living persons featured on [USPS] stamps!".
One of the worst postal/philatelic decisions ever made.
I like Geoffrey - I think he his a non-flamboyantly clever man, who knows how to be a very convincing actor with as little as eye/gaze/smile play. He doesn't need to gesticulate a lot, to stretch his face, to shout and other idiotic/buffoonish things.
Even if he could perhaps do all of the above, if required by the role, he can surely act in a subtler way.
Hunks and studs are gorgeous and useful, but occasionally you may enjoy watching or interacting with a clever, in a non-annoying way, man.
Best wishes to you and yours, Geoffrey! :)

Russell Crowe non-FIP maximum card, by Australia Post
Two stamps instead of one...OMG! blasphemy!...:)
See Australia Post for details.
Something to Crowe about...
I like Russell Crowe. "Ruggedly handsome", as someone said.
:)
I watched him evolve, as an actor, from a "supporting actor" in a movie with great studs/stallions/brumbies, to movies where HE was, maybe, the great stud/leading man/Macho Camacho, or he was The Irish-American Stallion (so-to-speak à la Rocky) in "Cinderella Man".
I like that he does his best, ranging from intellectual roles and very physical roles, to assimilate that character and play it very truthfully.
He doesn't walk away from hard work/hard training/grueling experiences/unflattering scenes for his civilian ego. If he goes thru smoking fire, he'll show you his mucus activated, as in real life.
To his role, he gives all his resources, and I generally like very much the results.
As a "civilian", he's also true to his emotions, smashing sometimes a thing or two.
Russell Crowe doesn't go gaga over cocky "papa-papa-paparazzi", so he may jump to prove that A Beautiful Mind can coexist with a Gladiator body.
Best wishes to you and yours, Russell! :)

- Feb 21, 2011
Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
