There are two Cyril Cusacks for me. I mean, there's Cyril Cusack the actor, and then there was Cyril Cusack the father... a difficult man. I remember one evening, I had just finished my show in London... Sinéad called me and said 'you have to come to Islington, we are having dinner with Dad and it's very difficult', and Cyril was there, giving it out, well in his cups... and I suppose it was half an hour later that I thought 'we have to stop this' so I said 'Cyril, c'mon, we're going home. C'mon, up we get', and I led him home, got to Vincent Terrace where he lived, opened the front door and helped him up the stairs — sort of pushing him up the stairs, telling him to go to bed... and he turned round to me and said 'I'll fight you, you fucker. I'll fight you every inch of the way'. And I said 'good on you, and I'll give you a fight back'.

Int.  Where did you meet Jeremy, and when? Sinéad.  Well, we met while I was doing London Assurance and he was doing Godspell. Int.  Oh, I see. Sinéad.  Because the Wyndham’s Theatre and the Albery Theatre — there was one stage door for the two theatres and I met him at… Int.  At the stage door. Sinéad.  Well, not quite, I used to see him at the stage door, this tall figure, but I actually met him at a dinner party given by a mutual friend of ours… and it was instant. Int.  Ooh, one of those, eh? Sinéad.  [Laughing] One of those. Int.  He was splendid in Godspell, wasn’t he? Sinéad.  [Excitedly] Oh, yes, he was wonderful! But unfortunately I met him… we started walking out together before I had seen the show, because I was doing London Assurance, so I couldn’t… but one matinee — I would have been able to see three quarters of a matinee, so I decided to go without telling him. I was very worried about this visit to the theatre because I thought… say I discover he is a terrible actor, say I discover he is reeeaally, I mean, without possibility or hope as an actor — what will I do? Would that change my attitude to him? So I went to the theatre and I sat in the stalls, and I was sitting in an isle seat and I don’t know if you remember but John the Baptist, which was the character that Jeremy played, used to have this wonderfully dramatic entrance from the back of the theatre down the isle. So I was sitting crouched very small in my seat and I heard the back doors of the auditorium open, then the sound of a shofar horn being blown — I thought very weedily indeed, I though ‘that’s not very good’. Then I heard this voice and I thought ‘who’s that?’, I said ‘that can’t be Jeremy’, and this voice — it was a very nice voice, a very plesant voice, but it didn’t have any of Jeremy’s qualities and I thought ‘oh dear, the personality of the man doesn’t relate at all to his stage personality’, and as he went by I looked up and it wasn’t him at all. He was stuck in a traffic jam in Stratton and that was the only performance he missed in the entire time he played the show.

me 🤝 my sibling 🤝 making niche memes about one (1) movie from 1982

Credit to @thepageofheart for the second image 😎

[image ID: two images, the first a digital sketch of a meme format, the second a collage/meme. Both show characters from the scarlet pimpernel 1982 movie. The sketch is of Citizen Chauvelin saying “you should be addicted to shutting the fuck up” and Sir Percy Blakeney/The Scarlet Pimpernel responding “you want to fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid.” The second image depicts Armand St. Just asking Chauvelin “why does sir percy call you babygirl?” and Chauvelin responding “how about we stop talking for a little while.” End ID]

If Anthony Andrews was so desperate to get away from the aristocratic gay image after Brideshead, why the fuck did he tell Desert Island Discs that the book he was taking was The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde 😭

The Holcroft Covenant (1985)

My rating: 6/10

This is extremely silly and cheesy in a way I rather enjoy, and Caine is, of course, quite excellent. Not a good movie, but a fun one.

I would love to see a remake show for the Scarlet Pimpernel. I’m rewatching the 1982 version and i feel like with some slight tweaks they could make the relationship dynamic between Anthony Andrews and Ian Mckellan that much more juicy and dramatic. (although it already is great, they just need some upgraded camera work and blocking).
