BTS of #RWRBMovie: Sharon D. Clarke

ML via What to Watch:

"And then Sharon, I honestly was just like — when I knew I get to cast a fictional UK prime minister, I was like ‘well, let’s go for the most hopeful version of what we’d love to see in a prime minister’, and when they asked me to think about it, I was like ‘oh! Sharon D Clarke — ask her if she’d come in and do a day for us’. It’s the same thing with Sharon as with Uma, the first thing I said for each of the President and the Prime Minister was ‘would you vote for that actor to actually do that job?’ I can’t vote in the UK, but if I could, I would vote for Sharon!”

More Numberblocks/TAG observations

Some of you might remember when I got a bit excited that Rasmus Hardiker voiced 18 in Numberblocks, who is a super speedy super rectangle. Teresa Gallagher (Eos) is also several characters.

Today we had more Numberblocks on the telly and I thought 100 sounded familiar. 100 is Sharon D. Clarke, who voices Cass McCready. I'm starting to think the whole cast might be a copy.

I am also definitely feeling a Numberbocks/TAG crossover coming on somehow, but it currently has no plot and I can't write until after some building work so maybe not 😂

The Importance of Being Earnest was the first Oscar Wilde work I read. It holds a special place in my heart as a result. So to see Ncuti on stage in this play, my heart.

Wilde's contemporary critics often complained that the play was not serious enough. But when discussing the play with Robbie Ross, Wilde said "That we should treat all trivial things in life very seriously, and all serious things of life with a sincere and studied triviality". Which honestly is just the most Wilde thing.

It helps that I have a hot date, and she is just as much a theatre geek as me.

(Also when my high school staged this, at one point the lighting tech failed to take the lights down at the end of a scene and the two actors lefts on stage had to improv an entire dialogue about fucking cucumber sandwiches which will never stop being hilarious to me.)

Leading the field of artificial intelligence, Halfway, a subsidiary of Soul-Tech, provides customers with the opportunity to digitally upload their minds so that in the eventuality of their death, loved ones will be able to communicate with an AI simulation and gain closure. But at what cost? A year after her brother Mark’s death, Florence is still consumed by grief. And though her parents encourage her not to dwell on the past, Florence decides to visit Halfway and speak to the simulation of Mark that was created not long before his passing. But instead of putting her mind at ease, speaking with the replica of her brother only unleashes destabilising questions and opens old wounds. Why are Mark’s uploaded memories different from Florence’s? Why are the circumstances surrounding Mark’s death becoming less clear? And what does Halfway have to hide? Listen now on Audible!
