Today Crowley didn’t digest a single word of Aziraphale’s elaborate story, too lost in his angel’s animated expressions to give the words his full attention.

Pride is returning to cinemas for its 10th anniversary

'Comfortably one of the best British films of the 2010s is the wonderful Pride, an uproariously funny and really moving ensemble film set in the 1980s. Led by George MacKay, Andrew Scott, Ben Schnetzer, Faye Marsay, Dominic West, Imelda Staunton, a sex toy, Paddy Considine, Bill Nighy and Freddie Fox, it felt like a movie out of nowhere when it first arrived.

Telling the story of the miner’s strike in the UK in the 1980s, and the efforts of a bunch of lesbian and gay activists to support them, it still remains something of a one-off. Penned by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus, the modestly-budgeted film hardly set the box office alight on its initial release, but it’s earned a rich and deserved reputation since for a film that’s well, well worth seeking out.

With that in mind, for the tenth anniversary of the movie, the lovely people at Park Circus are offering an opportunity to see the film on the big screen again. It’s going to be re-releasing Pride in cinemas on 7th June across the UK. It’s currently listed as going to just over 25 screens, and as such is likely to gravitate towards big cities. But it’s worth having a word with your local independent cinema to see if it can play the film.

I’ve written before on this website about why I think Pride deserves a much bigger audience, and it’s really lovely to see the opportunity once again to catch it on the big screen. Very much looking forward to doing so...

Finally, that synopsis…

Pathé’s Pride is about the extraordinary true story of two very different communities who unite to defend the same cause. It’s Summer 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power, and the National Union of Mineworkers are on strike! At the Gay Pride March in London, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. But the only problem is the Union seems too embarrassed to receive their support. Not discouraged, the activists ignore the Union and go direct to the miners. They identify a small mining villiage in Wales to make their donations to the community in person. This journey begins a surprising partnership between two seemingly alien communties as they fight for the same cause.'

I've seen videos of people saying that we shouldn't romanticise the sounds Andrew Garfield is making in the new 1984 audiobook and I agree, I think we should romanticise O'Brien, because, first of all, it's Andrew Scott, and second of all, he may be psychologically torturing Winston but I'm currently reading 1984 for school and I must say, Winston is kind of a dickhead who constantly talks about how he wants to rape Julia, so if O'Brien wants to torture a rapist, are we really going to stop him? Because I think it's kind of a babygirl move of him

" If Tom Ripley was in a gay bar, I’m not sure that he would fit in there. Nor do I think he’s a straight character. I think he’s a queer character, in the sense that he’s very “other.”

What’s his relationship with sex, or death, or with family or friends? It’s interesting that a character is the sum of the parts that you don’t have to play." (x)

Me too :-)

Let’s all take a nap!

I’m bored. Can’t go out because my ankle is bothering me. I have two bad ones. When I sprained my right pretty badly I couldn’t rest it so I put a lot of strain on my left. Fun stuff.

This.

I fully realized what a good actor andrew scott is by watching, of all things, the daniel radcliffe frankenstein movie. andrew's character- a scotland yard cop-is trying to bring frankenstein down for body snatching and "crimes against god" but was critically injured during a raid on the lab. so he's sitting in his skeptical boss's office with a prosthetic hand, blind in one eye, explaining himself and trying to get permission to hunt frankenstein down, and suddenly he half-laughs at himself while his eyes fill with black despair. in those 1.5 seconds he communicates an entire world. his character is thinking about what this mission has cost him, and what it may yet cost him; how impossible victory seems now; how small and absurdly powerless he feels, traveling through this vast terrible world in service to an unseen god who saw fit to kill his wife with cancer; and all he can do in the face of this cosmic absurdity is faintly laugh. holy shit, andrew.

DUDE! if Daniel Radcliffe/James McAvoy/Andrew Scott Frankenstein movie has no fans left on earth assume I am dead.

I love this silly little movie so much. Daniel Radcliffe/James McAvoy serve Guy Ritchie sherlock Holmes homoerotic romcom realness. Andrew Scott is there yet again to be moriarty but straight this time. This movie has everything!!!

The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

if Broadway doesn’t want bootlegs floating around then they need to get their act together and make legal recordings.  you can say all you want that theater is meant to be enjoyed live, but the fact of the matter is not everybody can get to NYC to go to a Broadway show.  not everybody can afford to take the time off of work and buy a plane ticket to NYC and buy a night in a hotel AND get the ticket to the show.  people want to see the shows, that’s why there’s a bootleg market in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone has the time, money, and ability to make it out to the one place in the world to see something on Broadway, especially if it’s a limited engagement.  so record that shit, slap some subtitles on it, and sell it so we can buy it legally.

Andrew Haigh was asked about what he encouraged them to do to cultivate the chemistry, he jokingly said,

“Yeah, I just made them have sex with each other and was just watching. It was a bit awkward, but it was good.” (x)
