It seems to be getting harder and harder to find something that both my husband and I want to watch. His taste is more towards superheroes, and mine veers more towards... well... Richard Armitage! But sometimes we have a meeting of the minds. (Movie stills from IMDb) Handsome Devil (2016): (On Video on Demand) I'd … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching

Finally Seeing “Pilgrimage” (2017)
The Canadian release of Pilgrimage has finally come, albeit on iTunes. I found out about the September 5 release date only through a tweet by Get Reel Movies , who recently interviewed Richard Armitage about the movie. To me, it shows just such a total lack of interest in promoting the film that the Canadian distributor, Search … Continue reading Finally Seeing “Pilgrimage” (2017)

Surprising Songs Sung: Kate Nash / Hollaback Girl
It would have been hard to miss Gwen Stefani's number one hit "Hollaback Girl", from her first album as a solo artist. Released in 2005, the hip hop/pop song was written by Stefani, Pharell Williams ("Happy"), and Chad Hugo. It received Grammy Award nominations, but on the flip side, Maxim labelled it as the "Most … Continue reading Surprising Songs Sung: Kate Nash / Hollaback Girl
”In Her Shoes” (2005) and Wanting to Be in My New Shoes
There I was last week, minding my own business in a Winners store, when suddenly I heard the siren song of the shoe section. I wasn't looking for shoes... really! And yet finding that for once they had a great selection in my size, I just had to try them on! And you have to … Continue reading ”In Her Shoes” (2005) and Wanting to Be in My New Shoes
#Armitage fans – Burned by @DigitalTheatre’s Crucible?How to Help — Armitage Agonistes
As designed, Digital Theatre's new service plan did not include honouring any purchases, including The Crucible and Exclusive Interview with Richard Armitage. Now, apparently, they plan to grant "long-term rentals" to us, but so far it has been impossible to get any response to individual email requests. Perry has come up with an idea to get them to … Continue reading #Armitage fans – Burned by @DigitalTheatre’s Crucible?How to Help — Armitage Agonistes
The End of Orphan Black
So, NOW what do I do on Saturday nights? I'm a bit sad that one of my favourite TV shows, Orphan Black, came to an end two weeks ago. On the other hand, I'm glad that they knew when to end it -- the story had been fully told and the characters' situations were satisfactorily resolved. I … Continue reading The End of Orphan Black
Sir Guy Sees the Total Eclipse
It's still August 22 in Vancouver, as the birthdays of both a family member and an actor continue. Happy Birthday to both! And many happy returns! Yesterday's total eclipse put me in mind of Season 3, Episode 1 of Robin Hood. This is the moment when Sir Guy sees the total eclipse of the sun... and then … Continue reading Sir Guy Sees the Total Eclipse
Vancouver Eclipse Viewing
Vancouverites were treated to an almost 90% eclipse of the sun today. Two of my colleagues and I played hooky for an hour or so this morning to visit the park and check out the phenomenon. My eclipse mindset got a kick-start this morning when I saw Fatima's post at Stacks and Ranges. Her Music … Continue reading Vancouver Eclipse Viewing
August Birthdays
I know many of you are thinking about Richard Armitage's birthday coming up on August 22. In my household, however, we are celebrating two other birthday's this week! My husband's birthday was this weekend and, at his request, I cooked chili for dinner and we finished off with his favourite dessert, vanilla ice cream with … Continue reading August Birthdays
