There’s an auction to support the Motion Picture and Television Fund for healthcare for those striking in Hollywood and there’s the usual Zooms and dinners with actors, but some of the biddable items are absolutely unreal in the best way
I do enjoy the rubbish that he spews when people ask him about details that he's not going to reveal.
Crowley and Aziraphale will both be eaten by space-time-goats in the first episode of Season 3. Sadie and Dottie then team up to investigate the deaths of their husbands. In the end they discover that the Space-Time Goats were actually working for Crowley's old Nemesis, Doctor Unmentionable. He tumbles screaming into a volcano, and is eaten by lava sharks.
Actress, Miriam Margolyes: When you know your worth, you know your worth.
She is beautiful and I love her.
She also recently said that JKR’s TERF remarks are fascist. So please, continue to stan a hero.
And she’s a signatory of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, was one of the first people to say ‘fuck’ on British TV, proudly called herself a dyke during a televised Australian citizenship ceremony with their PM, and has been with her partner since 1968.
MIRIAM IS A QUEEN.
I love her. She is fat, she is old, and she is happy with both and damn proud of being herself. That’s how it should be. That’s what we should all strive for.
If you have not watched this, do yourself a favor and do so.
She is cuddly, cute, funny, wise and occasionally naughty when it’s most effective, and reminds me of a favourite aunt or indeed my own Mum.
A true Queen. :)
She’s Despair (and I have no doubt several other people) in the Audible Sandman adaptations (she had already been Mrs Owens in the full cast Graveyard Book), and I was so excited to meet her. This is me fangirling out while Miriam is cool. Photo by Dirk Maggs.
moment of silence for everyone who relied on AI chat bots for research when it’s going around saying shit like this.
[image description: search that reads “country in africa that starts with K”. the featured snipped is from www.emergentmind.com and reads “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter “K”. The closest is Kenya, which starts with a “K” sound, but is actually spelled with a “K” sound. It’s always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.” /end ID]
I got an email from a friend the other day that said:
The baristas at the Starbucks I go to were so excited to tell me that my coffee order was on tv. I had no idea what they were talking about until I saw the first two episodes.
This is 6 shots of espresso with a splash of oatmilk and a dash of sugar. The baristas now call it the “fallen angel”.
“[While filming ‘Ashes to Ashes’] So we’re on the beach shooting this scene with a giant bulldozer. The camera was on a very long lens. [The camera is along way away, but the artist fills the frame] In this video I’m dressed from head to toe in a clown suit. Why not. I hear playback and the music starts. So off I go, I start singing and walking, but as soon as I do this old geezer with an old dog walk right between me and the camera… Well, knowing this is gonna take a while I walked past the old guy and sat next to camera in my full costume waiting for him to pass. As he is walking by camera the director said, excuse me Mr do you know who this is? The old guy looks at me from bottom to top and looks back to the director and said… "Of course I do! It’s some cunt in a clown suit.” That was a huge moment for me, It put me back in my place and made me realize, yes I’m just a cunt in a clown suit. I think about that old guy all the time.
Hello Brandy! As we were heading into Season 2, we planned everything so that we could go smoothly into making Season 3. Amazon wouldn't commission two seasons, we would have to bring out the audience for Season 2, but everything was planned and set. One reason for shooting in Bathgate instead of London was the relative cheapness of being able to keep our set up between seasons.
But the strikes have upended that plan a little. At best, they may delay it, at worst it's possible that we won't get the viewing figures or something and it might not happen at all.
If that became a thing, I'd definitely write the book.
People were asking me what counts to help get Season 3 made. And the answer is, 1) people watching S2 and watching it to the end, 2) people who haven’t watched Good Omens before watching Good Omens, which very much includes Season 1.
So if you know people who haven’t seen Season 1, get them to watch it. And if you are at the homes of people with Prime Video who have never seen Good Omens, this is your chance to introduce them to the world of Good Omens while helping make a statistic that the algorithm people are following.
Is there a time frame important? Like does it have to be during the first month of airing or something ?
Yes. With Sandman it was a four-month process to get renewed, but with Good Omens we will know if we’ve been renewed or not pretty fast. Or at least, Amazon will know. They may have to wait for the Strikes to be done before they tell us, though.
