“Q: What do you think Jonathan thought of you?

A: It doesn’t matter.”

The Jewish Chronicle tried to replicate the Guardian’s Blind Date column. It didn’t go very well.

JC blind date: ‘I was surprised she was wearing trousers’ - The Jewish Chronicle
Hopeful singletons Gaby and Jonathan met for dinner at Delicatessen in north London, where the food was kosher and excellent – but what about the chemistry?

Perpetual anticipation's a delicate art: playing a role, aching to start, keeping control while falling apart.

To those masochists who claim to watch Safdie films more than once, I ask: *how*, exactly? On MARTY SUPREME (now showing): tinyurl.com/3wzw5rpx
American hustle: "Marty Supreme"
2025 will go down as the year in which, disregarding all previous instincts, the Safdie brothers embraced the happy ending and won themselve...

In awe of Jack Fisk, at the age of 80, making #MartySupreme look stunning. And make up artist Michael Fontaine for making Timmy look less than stunning

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It being Marlene Dietrich’s birthday, here’s Judy Garland – who was a damn good storyteller – capturing her.

A Christmas film with Meryl Streep and DeNiro and he’s wearing the same military coat that he wore when they were paired in The Deer Hunter. And there’s added Harvey Keitel. Brief Encounter reimagined en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling...

Well, happy anniversary to one of the finest of festive exchanges
Twitter screenshot, 23 December 2016 (and god knows we needed a laugh at the end of that year): Gerry Adams, “This house is like Santa's Grotto. Takes half an hour 2 switch off fairy lights and assorted Yule illuminations. Feel like a grinch now.” Reply from ‘Eddielzzard'sBeret’: “Surely you know someone who can fit a timer.”

Thinking of the actor Ernest Thesiger, who, when asked what it had been like in the trenches of World War One, replied "my dear, the noise! And the PEOPLE!"

If anyone needs to know what dying from cancer is like (for the last month of life) this scene featuring Paula Pell as a hospice nurse from Dying for Sex explains it beautifully.

If you have a friend who lives alone and clearly enjoys her own company, can you not keep asking her who she’s spending Christmas with? There’s this weird thing where some people can’t conceive of Christmas alone and I have to do a lot of emotional lifting to explain that IT’S WHAT I WANT.

As a former editor of Popbitch – and the proud owner of a legal letter sent by HarperCollins, accusing me of being "highly likely to cause serious harm to [their former star client]’s reputation both as an individual and author” – may I just say: GET IT RIGHT UP YE

From William Donaldson's GREAT DISASTERS OF THE STAGE:
When Orson Welles gave his one-man show of Shakespearean readings in Phoenix, Arizona, only five people turned up. 'Allow me to introduce myself,' said Mr Welles. 'I am an actor, a writer, a director, of both films and plays, an architect, a painter, a stage designer, a brilliant cook, an expert on the corrida, a conjuror, a collector, a connoisseur, an enfant terrible and an authority on modern art. How come there are so many of me, and so few of you?' Then he walked off. The Least Successful Theatrical Dinner Party Nicol Williamson was invited to dinner by Kenneth Tynan. He turned up an hour early, catching his hosts unbathed and unchanged. He volunteered to pass the time hoovering the floor. Then he asked, 'Who else is coming?' Tynan told him that one of the guests was Jonathan Miller. 'Biggest phoney in London,' said Williamson crisply. 'Who else?' Tynan told him that there would be a pretty young actress who had been having an affair with Roman Polanski. When the guests arrived, Williamson aborted polite conver-sation by producing an LP of the Mamas and Papas and playing it at full volume. In the dining-room Williamson munched in silence before addressing his first remark to the pretty young actress. Placing his left hand on his right bicep and making a swift upward jab with a clenched right fist, he said, 'So you're the girl who was being fucked by Polanski.' 'Wrong, Mr Williamson,' she said. 'I am being fucked by Polanski.' This exchange seemed to annoy Williamson, and a few minutes later he got up and left the room. There was a deafen-ing five-minute blast of The Mamas and the Papas, then he marched out, slamming the front door. 'I enjoy baboons,' said Dr Miller, 'but preferably in zoos.' In the early seventies, Sir Richard Attenborough, as he then wasn't, arranged a charity performance in a church hall in aid of the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre. After the show some thirty of our most dependable middle-order mimes Frank Windsor, Stratford Johns, Geoffrey Keen, Rupert Davies, Barry Foster, Gerald Harper, Jon Pertwee, Pat Phoenix, Una Stubbs, etc - much pleased with their efforts and swapping anecdotes, left together by a side-door and walked into a septic tank. Mr George Maguire, who had installed twenty temporary lavatories for the occasion, said: 'That's show business.' Invited to dinner at Kensington Palace, Michael Holroyd was warned that Princess Margaret liked to set the table on a roar with her skilful impressions. At her first attempt, the celebrated biographer screamed with laughter and banged the table. She had been speaking in her normal voice.

Q: What was one of the main contributing factors re. the death of British folk music in the 1970s?

A: Hair conditioner.
The Unique Sound of the Psaltery Bob Stewart from 1975 which shows Bob with long and somewhat lank blond hair placed next to UP LIKE THE SWALLOW BOB STEWART from 1978 In which Bob’s hair id full-bodied and bouffant. You can guess which is the superior album.
