HIV - The Musical

Cleaning out my archives again today! Here is a short film starring Martin Freeman and Julian Barratt. I imagine this is truer in the entertainment business than we, the audience, realize!

The Mighty Boosh | Season 1 Outtakes

Going through my archives, finding the stuff I've saved and never posted. So, hopefully, that will be my week-- a bit of house cleaning! Starting with outtakes from The Mighty Boosh, Series 1. Lot's of laughs!

The Reality of Fantasy: The Making Of Luxury Comedy 2

A behind the scenes look at Luxury Comedy: Tales From Painted Hawaii from The Velvet Onion. Cast interviews, a few outtakes, and lots of laughter. Bless them for being there for us!

Favorite Fashions

I'm sorry I can't credit this picture because I have no clue where it came from--I'm guessing it was a fan photo from Tuesday evening after the NMTB taping. Anyway the person that captioned it mentioned "Pip's coat". My husband saw the picture before I did and read it to me and then wondered aloud "who's Pip?". And without even thinking about it, I said "Pip Valentine." Yes, that jacket will always say Pip to those of us in the know!

Homepride Fred About The House

Not something I'm familiar with in the US, but there is a nice article about it at The Velvet Onion and we get to hear Julian's smooth voice. I actually get a kick out of the commercial, the wife's glance at Fred, the husband's questioning look. It's a win-win!

Throw Back Thursday

My first true obsession was Tolkien's Middle Earth and it started with this animated TV event. I had a teacher that was a huge LOTR fan and he recommended to our class that we watch this-- which a friend and I did, and then we read the books and re-read them and saw Ralph Bakshi's Lord of The Rings multiple times. I spread that love on to my husband and my children when Peter Jackson made the movies, better than 10 years now. Yes, my obsessions can be long-lived!

Something To Look Forward To!

The 28th season of NeverMind The Buzzcocks will be starting soon with Rhod Gilbert sitting as permanent host, the first since Simon Amstell announced that he wouldn't be returning in 2009. Yes, there is excitement at my house. We've been rewatching past years in anticipation!
