Oh for a time machine - the Lester/Kinnear Othello was reportedly brilliant, with Kinnear in particular garnering the Olivier for his Iago, but I might prefer to travel even further back to 2008 for Ejefor as Othello, Ewan McGregor as Iago and a baby Hiddles as Cassius, the role in which Whedon first saw him.

all too common, my mother in law’s Catholic funeral, was like this, withh her Orthodox Jewish doctor in a kippah sitting right up front, so embarassing

she started in musical theatre, I have a couple of things on DVD like Once Upon a Mattress wth .Denis O’Hare and a Sondheim revue called Putting it Together with a young and lovely John Barrowman

replying to boost NTLIVE which is the only way my far-from-London aelf gets to see these. Saw Hiddles in Coriolanus twice (and theres encore showings of that coming too), Simon Russel Beale in Lear, a scorching Helen McCrory in Medea. Worth dring to se one, the production, sound are excellent

You can see it already, in one of the trailers

reading this, two Hollywood stories come to mind - one is Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher, where she didn’t start out as the trophy wife but certainly ended up in the “dumped b/c too old and undesirable” category. and then there’s Demi’s polar opposite, Sam Taylor Johnson. She was never exactly beautiful, separated from her…

always, whatever show he is in, right back to Doctor Who.

maybe the fact that guns and ammunition are still highly regulated in Switzerland mighr be a clue, they manage to do the civilian militia thing without tons of civilian casualties

pupitre is French, anyway. But yeah, much more success with early-learning of languages, kindergarden and up.

during his fight with Neo in the third Matrix film I was praying fr him to win, mostly so the movie would end LOL

THIS is the dress I loved, not as much the Marchesa - look for better pics, tho. There are overhead shots that show off the sleeve trains, not even kidding, and closeups for the Chopard emerald jewellery.

in the Marvel universe, Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers

well, he’s not going to spoil the surprise, is he? Lots of people have been “totally dead” in Marvel and then walked it off. I won’t be surprised either way

Don’t need TAHITI, they brought back his body and Dr Cho was there in the new Avengers facility. He’s also got healing powers - from that first bullet wound scene. If someone wants to bring him back - for Civil War, for The Inhumans, totally doable.

we know why Thor isn’t there, Hemsworth told us himself - that Thor 3 starts as soon as he gets back to Asgard from Earth and we saw him leave at the end of AoU, so it looks like Ragnarok takes place in the same timeframe as Civil War.

Oh lord, of course he is. The Marvel universe can always make room for another white guy, especially one with an accent

seconding the recommendation for La Roche-Posay products. Currently I’m using a Clarins foundation over SPF 50 sunscreen because I am super pale and super sun sensitive.

except that half the NHL players are Canadian, so no matter what team wins, the Cup comes to Canada

Oh, I know, I was just going on what we saw on screen, not the logical consequences of those onscreen actions - why didn’t Tony Stark find evidence of HYDRA in SHIELD when he downloaded their whole database in first Avengers? as well as why didn’t Tony pick up on Coulson from the giant data dump in CATWS. C’mon Joss,…

given that both Fury and Sif know that Coulson’s alive Wheson’s statement makes no sense at all, though it suggests that Fury hasn’t told the Avengers yet.
