I’m sure I’m not the first to point this out but the Daniel Craig–Hugh Grant–Ben Whishaw love triangle needs to be studied…
Daniel and Hugh as lovers in Knives Out, Hugh and Ben as lovers in A Very English Scandal (and, strangely, enemies in Paddington 2), Daniel and Ben as (virtually lovers) coworkers in James Bond.
And I’m so certain these guys will continue to star in the same films, because they somehow just run in that British circle of the film industry. I can’t wait.

Zelda Fitzgerald's New York
Zelda Fitzgerald loved New York, where she lived in the early 1920s. A talented painter (as well as writer and dancer), she created these works over a period of years, from the 1920s to 1943. In 1996, her granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan, included many of her works in a book, Zelda: An Illustrated Life.
Eighty-three of her paintings are available for purchase as prints from art.com. These are the ones of New York.
Above: Central Park in the spring.
The Brooklyn Bridge, apparently after a party.
Fifth Avenue. The view is dominated by St. Patrick's Cathedral, in whose rectory Zelda and Scott were married in 1920. On 5th Avenue, everyone celebrates.
Grand Central Station
Grant's Tomb
Times Square. "Past the Rialto, the glittering front of the Astor, the jewelled magnificence of Times Square … a gorgeous alley of incandescence ahead . . . " (F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned)
Washington Square
Scottie and Jack, Grand Central Time. This is the last of the pictures, painted in 1943, when her daughter Scottie married Jack Lanahan, seen here in his Navy uniform.
