This Morning

Since I've been watching Flowers this week, (And Night Manager!) I've going to post this interview with Olivia and Julian. I think it's so Julian to let Olivia do most of the talking!

Gentle Julian

As part of Flowers publicity, Julian has done a whole slew of interviews (or what counts as a whole slew when it comes to him. Merely a handful when compared to when Noel is doing publicity!) Anyway, Flowers seems to be quite the success, and justly so. I've been watching it and it's brilliant. The writing is good, the filming is good, the casting is spot on, and the actors are all amazing.

Read it at The Guardian: 

“Depressive”, “intense” and “awkward” are the most common adjectives used by the press to describe the comedian, musician and actor Julian Barratt. But none of those words actually fits the sweetly shambling man I find having a pot of tea on his own in the Highgate pub near his home in London. Instead, the adjective that comes to my mind upon spotting him in his high-waisted cotton trousers, mismatched jacket and skew-whiff hair is “gentle”.

Noel Fielding vs Simon Amstell

How about some Noel and Simon on NeverMind The Buzzcocks for our Throw-back Thursday!? Such classic moments! (And can I mention how much I love Kristan!)

Noel Fielding’s Endless Journey Through Time And Space

Beatroute: This is what I think of as an "introductory" article--an article for people who have no idea who he is. What I find particularly  interesting about this one is the fact that is about Noel's history, not The Boosh's history. So it starts out with him in college and goes through Luxury Comedy. Now I know there have been plenty that have done that, but somehow this one feels like it is centered on him a bit more. Usually they are about his career in relationship with The Mighty Boosh. This one is just his career. I like that.

More On Set The Thames On Fire

So many excellent pictures of Noel in this photo burst from the premiere of Set The Thames On Fire by Mad Orange Photography! Also, there's a nice write up over here at the London, Hollywood blog. And another over here by The Velvet Onion. What an event that would have been to attend. And it does seem Noel is quite excited about it. 

Has It Really Been A Month?

It was a month ago today (altho on a Friday, not a Monday!) that we were packing to head to Chicago for An Evening With Noel Fielding. Still not over it!
