Richard Armitage tangentially related (the rest)
The Lodge:
- More reviews: iBold (in French); Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (part of a piece on messed up kids at Sundance; a bit spoilery); Little White Lies; Variety (very big spoilers); Flickering Myth (big spoilers); Den of Geek (similarly large spoilers); FilmMaker; a youtuber; Vanyaland; the Democrat-Gazette also saw it as a huge disappointment;
- Gizmodo lists the film as a likely Sundance 2019 breakout.
- The film makes Zimbio’s most anticipated horror films of 2019 list; also ThisInsider‘s.
- Mention in Hollywood Reporter as a let down in a Midnight series that was generally disappointing.
- IndieWire interview (no Armitage).
- Riley Keough makes a best performances list.
Current projects:
- Trevor Belmont figure will be available in August.
Past projects:
- (Ocean’s 8): What happens when you watch the film repeatedly while trapped in the house due to the polar vortex. The author really hated Armitage, but the rest of it was funny.
Fandom:
- Cute autograph.
- Cute response to Armitage’s lunar new year tweet from a Chinese fan.
- Armitage posts on weibo for the first time in a long time.
Industry issues:
- Actors’ Equity ends its month-long strike, with profit-sharing one of the outcomes of collective bargaining.
Miscellaneous:
- Manchester Library is apparently still trying to get Armitage to do some announcements for them. This week they tagged him in a post about Brian Blessed, who’s agreed. This is amusing primarily because Blessed was the leading fan-cast for Thorin all those years ago.
Me + Richard Armitage 
Oh man, the comments on RA in that rewatch of O8 are really ouch. It’s obvious that the guy has never seen RA in anything else. APM or not but that is totally unfair.

Rihanna also gets a huge diss, although this is a publication directed at African Americans and an article written by an African American. I thought “Plant Time” was extreme. I think this is the version of Dana Schwartz that isn’t name-dropping, so to speak.
