Good for Nigella!

Sanity @Nigella_Lawson 👏
She wants to be able to eat "proper food" and believes we are designed to eat meat.
“I feel that we have the teeth for meat and so it's natural for us to want to eat it.”

Operation Mincemeat

Belfast

Romanticized revisionism? What do the inhabitants of Northern Ireland, both Catholic and Protestant, think of the movie and the casting?

Jock Willink and Russell Brand

I had the opportunity to speak with Russell Brand @rustyrockets on a variety of subjects. We have more in common than our opposing hair styles might suggest… https://t.co/hPawVEzleH

I will check this out because of Hugh Laurie, but the BBC brand no longer means quality.

Michael Lonsdale Has Passed

Lord have mercy.

Sorry to hear of the passing of actor #MichaelLonsdale ("Moonraker," "Day of the Jackal," "Munich"). Here he is in 2015 discussing Charles Peguy, Joan of Arc and poetry. Memorable in 2010's great "Of Gods and Men" about the martyred monks of Tibhirine.https://t.co/Z6wExZ29xn

Another Movie for an Agenda

Summerland... How many checkboxes?

Anti-Christian, interracial lesbian romance, "educating" the youth...

Because Diana Rigg... and John Barry

Lazenby's Bond is a bit too lovey-dovey and cheerful -- what if Sean Connery had been Bond in the movie instead?

Mark Bauerlein on the Novel Wolf Hall

First Things:

But here is what my Catholic tutor, an expert on St. Thomas More, says of Mantel: “She's dangerous! She just makes things up!” He can't believe that this fabricator of anti-More calumnies should enjoy so much success. Or rather, he believes it and understands it. As he confessed to me, Mantel is a brilliant re-creator of time and place and personages, and that counts for more than historical accuracy. After all, it's only a novel.
...
And then read commentaries in our own First Things pages: Patricia Snow's “The Devil and Hilary Mantel,” George Weigel's “‘Wolf Hall' and Up-Market anti-Catholicism,” and Mark Movsesian's “Thomas More, Villain.”

There is also the BBC adaptation from a few years ago.
