She was 32. Obviously I'm hoping this news isn't true, but I guess we'll find out more tomorrow. I can't pretend to be familiar with eve...

]]> The 'Misfits' Finale... tag:vox.com,2009-12-18:asset-6a00d41438c4456a470123ddcab6b2860b 2009-12-18T10:51:34Z 2009-12-18T10:51:34Z CrowSeer http://crowseer.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom Hmmm... what to make of that? At times it felt a little too monster-of-the-week-y, and barely touched on the major “elephant in the room” (or corpses in the store room, if you like) of the main series arc. Again, the action was largely confined t...

Kelly

Finally managed to catch up with the first five episodes of Misfits (hurrah for the internet!), just in time for the series finale this Thursday. The pitch used in a lot of reviews was “Heroes meets Skins”, but really it’s more like “Smallville ...

Amélie remains my favourite film of all time, so it follows that it’s my fave of the decade... beyond that, there are too many likely can...

Paloma Faith

As the lead “Emo” Andrea in St Trinian’s, Faith scored herself a considerable amount of screen time, although I didn’t really notice her until she ditched the face-paint and piercings, and appeared as herself on an episode of Never Mind the Buzzc...

Big-S-Cheque

All I want for X-Mas this year is a cheque for $30 Million, and Sarah Silverman on my arm. Make it so! (Aside from being a window into my dearest day-dreams, this is also a still from a new movie starring Steve Buscemi, called Saint John of ...

]]> Jane Horrocks as “Bubble” tag:vox.com,2009-11-24:asset-6a00d41438c4456a470123ddeaa8a4860d 2009-11-24T15:34:42Z 2009-11-24T15:47:12Z CrowSeer http://crowseer.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom

Bubble

Horrocks first caught my eye as the foxy Nirvanah Crane, seducing Rimmer in an episode of Red Dwarf... but that same year (1992) she also made her debut as Bubble in Absolutely Fabulous. I always enjoy it when a “ditzy” character crosses the line...

Nigella

As winter approaches, a young man’s fancy inevitably turns to thoughts of Nigella. Or at least, this man’s fancy does. She’s such a charming, well-spoken woman, I could quite happily sit and watch her read the telephone directory... so long as sh...
