Nicole Holofcener re: saying “But Ben is like a woman!” - You know, I meant it. And he did say, thankfully, that that was the best compliment he’d ever received. I just meant it because he’s so emotional and vulnerable and sweet and not macho at all. But I meant it in a nice way.

“Right, troops. No, not troops. Team. Gang. Fam?”

If The Woman Who Fell to Earth can be defined by one single thing, it’s human connection. In spite of the large cast, even minor characters are grounded by the inclusion of the people closest to them. There are loving grandparents, a difficult relationship with a step grandson, a brother who wants answer, and a sister and a father whose absence is felt in very different ways. Even Karl, who seems lonely, is working at his dad’s company.

Friends and colleagues are just as important, whether it’s Ryan’s and Yaz’s renewed acquaintance, Graham and his group of bus drivers, or the bonds we can see developing between our four main cast members. As the Doctor reminisces about the family she has lost, it seems a certainty that she will gain another one. In fact, she may already have.

First images of Ruth Negga as Hamlet (Gate Theater Dublin, 27 Sept-13 Oct 2018)

“Negga is a princely Hamlet, full of gracious entitlement, capricious and deeply wounded. This is a gruelling performance; three-and-a-half hours, with Hamlet on stage most of the time, other than a brief respite in Act Four.

Negga combines vulnerability and ruthlessness, her tiny frame asserting its dominance of the action throughout by theatrical force of will. She brings a freshness to these oh-so-familiar speeches. “ (x)

I remember people having this same issue with Big Hero 6.

A lot of fans did not like that Hiro and Tadashi were portrayed as being mixed race. It’s like these studios are pretending to give us diversity but instead of going all in, they throw us this whitewashed, mixed race mess. No. Go all in. All or nothing. This isn’t real diversity. This is so big film execs can pat themselves on the back and all-white fandoms can feel good about how ‘diverse’ they are. Stop it.

MOVIE PROPS

JOHN WICK                

Director: Chad Stahelski

Propmaster: Vinny Mazzarella

Set Decorator: Susan Bode

Did you know that international assassin John Wick retired briefly and pursued his love of restoring and collecting Victorian children’s books? Well, that was in the original script, at any rate. I was hired to recommend, track down and purchase books, including first editions of Thomas Bewick’s beautifully illustrated Fables of Aesop. I also trained Keanu Reeves in various bookbinding skills, worked on set as technical advisor while they shot those scenes, and doubled for his hands in close-ups. His shop – which you see briefly on screen when he smashes open the floor – was filled with my books, cabinets, tools and equipment. On the sequel, I also helped out with the marker book and a few other things.
