The Earth has lost its last great dictator

R.I.P. Milo O'Shea, a man with great eyebrows and a way with a rape piano. I saw him first as the owlish-eyed Friar Lawrence in Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet (1968), but I remember him most vividly from Barbarella. This is probably unsurprising on some level. I have never heard that the 1966 Ulysses is a great adaptation of the novel, but I still want to see it someday.

I do not want to requiescat Iain Banks while he's still making personal statements, but I don't like this one. I still need to read The Crow Road (1992).

handful_ofdust, have a 1985 interview with Peter Cushing. Starlog has just gone up at the Internet Archive.

Well, I'm glad to have the news on Iain Banks in time to warn B., who is going to be very upset, but it is terrible news and I am sad.

Have you read Whit? Please tell me you have and I can lend it to you if not.

Also, Milo O'Shea. ... it has not been the best day, has it.

it has not been the best day, has it.

It could really have used some work.

(I have not read Whit. You should lend it to me.)

Love.
