A great interview with Judi Dench, apropos the impending new Bond film but covering all of her career. She's a pro as always and doesn't give any spoilers for Skyfall, but given her eyesight difficulties and age, I'm somewhat afraid the franchise might kill her M off and give us a new one. : ( Which since I love the Bond and M (or Bond/M) dynamic more than any other when it's Dench!M and Craig!Bond would make me very unhappy. Unless of course the new M is also a woman and played by Lindsay Duncan or someone of a similar calibre.


Meta about the Marquise de Merteuil, she who rules Les Liasons Dangereuses. One of my favourite female characters as well, and my favourite on screen incarnation of her is Glenn Close.


Elegant and Fine: beautiful short story plus meta on the other Problem With Susan in the Narnia saga. Not the Last Battle related one, but the part that's actually a problem for all the Pensieves, the fact they grew into adults in Narnia, with adult relationships, and then were made children again at the end of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

Shortly after Lost ended, rumour had it that Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson would be in another tv show together. This so far hasn't happened, which makes me pout, but then recent new photos of them make this Locke And Ben Forever person happy!

Seems Terry O'Quinn was not just making idle talk when wishing for a show for Michael Emerson and himself after Lost has ended. Bless. I'm so crossing my fingers, guys, because it would be so fabulous.

Speaking of actors I'm fond of, check this out: Juliet Landau interviews Armin Shimmerman about acting. Talk of Quark's joie de vivre, Snyder's dastardliness and Drusilla just being misunderstood ensues. I ♥ them. And how much do I love that Armin S. still is fond of Quark?
