If you haven't, you must see the original British Low Winter Sun with Mark Strong in a different role. The American version was a sad shadow of the original mini-series. But I loved seeing Mark Strong on my TV every week, and that can happen again any time now.

Why not? They were competing in a much stronger time for US Figure Skating, but we only had two Olympic slots in 1994, so Kerrigan bumped Michelle Kwan, and in 2006, Kwan bumped Emily Hughes, who had little international experience and had just come up from juniors the year before. I don't believe for one second…
I don't believe for one minute that if Michelle Kwan or Nancy Kerrigan, or even Todd Eldridge, had performed poorly at their respective Nationals rather than being too injured to compete, that they still couldn't have petitioned their way onto the team based on international reputation and previous results. Just…
But this is Jezebel. You should be used to that.
He has done Cassius, but not with Kinglsey and Strong. Sometimes your co-stars can take you to whole new places. But I agree, he would make an AMAZING Iago, and I wish Chiwetel Ejiofor would play Othello again just so I could see that happen and die happy. And just the thought of Hiddles as Benedick? SWOON...
Richard III! Strong as Richard, Hiddles as Clarence, and Ben as King Edward. Oh, or Julius Caesar! Kingsley as Caesar, Strong as Brutus and Hiddles as Cassius!
I love Hiddles, believe me, but am I the only one who is even more excited about Mark Strong? That is one sexy bald man. I love me some him. (I wouldn't kick Ben Kingsley out of bed for eating crackers either. This commercial will be seriously full of win).
She hasn't had better seasons. People who don't follow skating don't realize this is much more about international results and performance over seasons than it is a single competition.
I actually agree with you for the most part. I've no doubt he was flying, and mixed up some Southern deference to elders with awe at beating legends, and added in some unfamiliarity with pronunciation and laziness. But in context of the rest of the night, it was just one more sizzling egg on top of a hot mess.
Wagner had had strong international results over the past four years, and is the only reason the US could send three ladies singles skaters to the Olympics in the first place because of her finish at Worlds. Nagasu' s reputation, to the extent that she has one internationally, is as an inconsistent choker who can't…
So that Daily Mail link on Benedict Cumberbatch "doing a dance" misidentifies a pic of BC, Michael Fassbender and Chiwetel Ejiofor...the STAR OF THE FUCKING MOVIE THEY WERE AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES FOR, as BC, Michael Fassbender...and director Steve McQueen. After 'the blacklist", Lupita not winning, Matthew…
Just pointing out the distinction; not yelling. People make that mistake all the time and may not even notice it when looking directly at it. I guess I didn't properly convey my spirit of snark in a post about loser faces.
I was disappoint. I found it very self-indulgent and tone-deaf. In a time of trans people finally making some strides in the public eye, while still being questioned about their genitals and disproportionately impacted by sexual assault, employment discrimination, violence, and directly pertinent to your movie,…
MICHAEL Sheen. I know it's easy to get the names mixed up, but at least get his name right while calling him a loser.
Thank you. The show is hilarious and the ensemble is already cracking and snapping. Andre Braugher is deadpan perfection.
I live in Brooklyn and worked in the Bronx. Hour and a half commute twice a day, if I was lucky. My thirty minute commute now is heaven.
Thank you for your eloquent and thoughtful response, and for risking it in the first place. Others here have tried to express similar sentiments and been called hateful, ignorant, and racist. Thank you for understanding that this is a more complex and nuanced discussion than "love is colorblind". The vitriol this…
Thank god its not just me. I think these pictures are heinous. It's like someone's mistaken idea of a 70's Europorn shoot. I expect to hear someone breathily cooing "Emmanuelle" while Serge Gainsbourg slurs something French in the background. Normally I run to buy the Hollywood issue of VF, but this shit? …
He's a gifted, evocative writer, which is no surprise. But he needed a judicious and firm editor, which clearly did not happen.
That was my thought as well. I don't know enough specifics about what documentation immigrants would have completed at that time, but I'm not familiar with a "Brown" designation, and histories on the construction of whiteness in the US certainly suggest the inclusion process for most Mediterranean peoples would have…
