So happy to see Olivia Colman so high. It's been so gratifying to see her doing so well. There are lots of reasons to love Mitchell and Webb but one of the top ones has got to be making sure Colman was cast in Bruiser (they hadn't worked with her for a few years and it was bit out of the blue when she heard they had…

I assume by the tme they got through everbody, there were only 15 minutes left to give out awards.

I mainly spent this weekend following Twitter in a state of increasing horror. But I managed to get a few popculture things.

What about me? I gave to the ACLU. Where's my damn Newswire?

Let's not pretend that this isn't the kind of thing that would have appeared on The Colbert Report. There was always as much room for silliness as satire on that show.

Seeing reports that John Hurt has died. A huge loss if true. He could and did do almost everything and I could listen to him say anything…

I want to laugh but this feeds into my general anxieties about social media way too much. Why on earth would anyone remotely emotionally stable want this?

Speaking of Network, it was announced yesterday that Bryan Cranton will be playing Howard Beale in a National Theatre adaptation. The National Theatre is located in the UK but records a lot of its productions for movie theater showings (ie, the Cumberbatch/Miller Frankenstein).

I follow Graham Linehan (writer of The IT Crowd) on Twitter and about once a day, he replies to Morgan with a reminder of this: https://www.theguardian.com…

NO PANEL SHOWS TODAY:

I watched What We Did on Our Holiday starring David Tennant and Rosamund Pike about a couple about to divorce on their way to his dying father's house with their three kids. It's a really strange story with some odd turns and a lot more swearing than I was expecting given that it looked like family film. There are…

HAM!

Yay! Someone else who has listened to Elegies!

William Finn, composer of Falsettos and 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, was apparently one of the investors of this film. In his song "Mark's All-Male Thanksgiving" from Elegies: A Song Cycle he writes about how Bill Sherwood was part of the group of guys who spent Thanksgiving together. It includes the…

More likely Ross gets his buddies to kill Strange and take all his money.
