Man. Once again my British friends FTW. Hole of Horcum?! D= *covers nearest child’s ears* Though Ugglebarmby sounds like the place just down the road from Royston Vasey. :)

And Phlege, my instant mental image was of Morris-dancers prancing about and placing daisy chains around you, where they would accumulate & come to rest on your bum. (That’s assuming yours isn’t the pancake variety like mine—any daisy chains placed round my waist would probably fall straight to the floor.)

“We are completely the puppets of all the actors, okay? They’ll be writing the script for us. Especially the six-year-old, she’s not gonna buy a word you’ve written.”
- Tarsem Singh, on the set of The Fall. 

Tarsem Singh spent 8 years searching for the right actress to play Alexandria before he began shooting the film. Alexandria’s charming and enigmatic character was, according to Singh, the driving force that could carry the film’s story. The interactions seen between Roy and Alexandria are essentially unrefined and natural, and the chemistry between the actors is very tangible.  The development of their onscreen relationship in the resulting scenes corresponds with the relationship Lee and Catinca built in reality, as the hospital scenes were filmed consecutively.

Watching Anna Chancellor in Suburban Shootout made me fondly recall her turn in Tipping the Velvet, which I really need to watch again sometime—though I’m betting it’s going to live up to my memory of it being hella hawt and utterly wanktastic. (Also, fans of Benny should be alerted that he appears very briefly in the first episode.)

Immigrants Reach Beyond a Legal Barrier for a Reunion

These photos are of Dreamers, children of immigrants without documents for this country, who were brought to the United States and never knew they were “illegal,” reuniting with their deported parents through a border wall in Nogales, Arizona.

If you have any reaction to these photos other than empathy, I don’t really want to know.
