Richard Armitage tangentially related
Current projects:
- The second season of Castlevania will be available this fall on DVD and Blu Ray.
- The Harold Pinter Theatre has made available dates for Uncle Vanya in 2019 (no firm confirmation of his participation yet, though; only solid rumors so far).
- Buzz for U.S. release of The Lodge at Headstuff. There will also be a soundtrack. Buzz for the film at Fantasia Festival at Hollywood News and The Film Stage and Culture Crypt and Goomba Stomp. Pictures of directors Severin and Fiala at the Karlovy Vary film festival recently.
- A further blurb for the new Korean project (I’ve seen it called both Victory and Spaceship Victory). And a sweet postscript to the arrival: This blog (in Korean) describes his arrival. Google translate was not especially helpful, but you can see Veloce’s interpretation of the text here and here.
Past projects:
- (Pilgrimage): New review from Zambia.
- (Ocean’s 8): On the need for women’s only events.
- (Berlin Station): An Estonian who became a spy for Russia.
- (The Hobbit): The planned Amazon LOTR series has a director.
Collateral attractions:
- Chloe Grace Moretz (Brain on Fire) is dealing with another stalker.
- Riley Keough (The Lodge) has some cool summer beachwear on.
- Background on Awkwafina (Ocean’s 8)’s new film, The Farewell.
- Mindy Kaling (Ocean’s 8) says wear a bikini if you want to.

Me + Richard Armitage 
The Harold Pinter theatre were a little brief, I expected them to mention Love, Love, Love in New York, I saw Conor McPherson’s Girl from the North country with Shirley Henderson it was superb.
At the Lyric theatre yesterdayI noticed they were staging Love,Love,Love next year I am so glad RA isn’t in that.

London is never cheap. 😉
I never need to book hotels as I can always stay with my brother, so that always makes London relatively afforable for me.

No, but for example the hotel I stayed in in the summer of 2014 is about $70/night cheaper in January than it was in August (if I were to book now). Plus they have their dry January and the post-Christmas debt hangover, and with the weather fewer tourists fly, so the flight might be cheaper, too (haven’t looked yet).
Handy to have a relative there, though!

Usually I wouldn’t be sure about this either. But over the last year(s) I learned that my friends, and loads of people that I met in England and at home (remainers), over time had become so frustrated and enervated that many of them have lost their usual restraint. Wrought-up emotions! Probably no good times for modesty and to keep a low profile.

I’m totally sympathetic myself, although I wax and wane on any given day. We’re getting to a point in the US where we have to say something or be permanently morally compromised.

🙂 Always instructive “stuffs” to read in your “tangentially related” weekly reports.
About memory skills, the last sentences are the best of this article. They wrote about memory but we battle against daily attention problems, failures.
That’s another area of concern but a greater one according to me.
If “in Italy, TV watching lowers your general intelligence and makes you vote populist”; I would like it could not be true for me. Living in France. I was watching this NOT SO BAD tangentially related movie tonight:

That’s an interesting story — I lived in Austin for many years where he was the local hero.

I suppose we should thank BBC, since he’s not likely to delete tweets that have been quoted.
