Richard Armitage tangentially related
Past projects:
- (Pilgrimage): Composer Stephen McKeon wins the IFTA for Best Original Music; this was one of three nominations for the film.
- (The Martian Invasion of Earth): Another new review.
- (Berlin Station): Interesting point about the lack of women in the AfD and AfD areas (lots of links there to German and English media).
Thing he’s said:
- On the psychology of waiting in line.
- Armitage loved Dunkirk for its sound design and indeed, it won the BAFTA for sound this year, although not for any of its other nominations.
Stuff we’ve talked about:
- On loving genre fiction.
- What’s the best way to write intimate moments?
- Remember our discussion of Jill’s Gymkhana (Alice’s favorite book in Vicar of Dibley)? On the significance of horse books.
Social media:
- The difficulty of writing and being on social media at the same time.
- Instagram will now notify the poster if their photo has been screenshot.
Industry issues:
- FANGORIA, the journal of record for horror fans, will be resurrected (an interview with Richard Armitage appeared in the penultimate print issue of the magazine, just before it disappeared).
Me + Richard Armitage 
I loved pony books as a child and rode when my family could afford lessons. Both my daughters rode and now I have free time I volunteer with the Riding for the Disabled Association our mantra is ‘its not what you can’t do but what you can do’.

🙂 Je vois une différence entre faire la queue:
– pour assister à un spectacle précommandé, pour récupérer une dédicace de sa vedette préférée, faire les soldes… : objet FUTILE
– pour récupérer un éventuel visa, laissez-passer, droit de séjour ou pour se nourrir, s’abreuver lors de pénuries (dictature, pays en guerre, réfugiés en camps de transit) : objet VITAL.

As always, some interesting things to read here.
The article from Dialog International quotes the NYT about the men-women-ratio in eastern villages (two to three for one). I would like to know the source of that information. Because as far as I know thats´s not true. Overall in each German state the number of women is higher. In general this applies as well for the eastern states both in the cities and in the districts. So while there are villages and towns where women outnumber men there are nevertheless others where it´s the other way round. But not in the mentioned ratio, at least to my knowledge. It might be different if you split up the population statistics by age groups. Then we have in the eastern states indeed a surplus of men in the age between ca. mid-twenty to mid-forty (and a surplus of women from 60 on). So maybe the mentioned ratio is accurate for a particular age group but not in general. Sorry if I bothered you with that. I have to deal with statistics at work sometimes and that includes population statistics, as well (and only recently the one of 2016). Anyway, it´s totally true that still AfD attracts more men than women.
