al porter's return to vicar street. tweets were from vicar street promoting the gigs.

 

[Unicron]

I do*, she is.

* Haven't actually seen her since ... neutral milk hotel played vicar st.

Sorry I misread that. I fell into the thumped classic "I know her and she is sound". We are not sound, we are pricks.

That's why he was supposed to be finished.
I know a guy used to be in the comedy scene, and he told me Porter was 100% at this shit all the time.

GrrlGhost would be great on thumped. If someone knows her tell her we're sound and she should join

I don't know her at all in any real way but I used to have the craic with her on lockdown twitter - her surreal shit and about 4 other accounts are what i miss about the website.

Very hilarious story about the new Cleopatra on Netflix

Adele James Talks Netflix’s Controversial ‘Queen Cleopatra’ Series: “Blackwashing Isn’t a Thing”

On a podcast, the British actress addressed the criticism from the Egyptian government for the casting of an actress of mixed heritage to play the late pharaoh in the docuseries from Jada Pinkett Smith.

www.hollywoodreporter.com

Current casting is a mixed race English lady.
The reaction in Egypt and Egyptologists seems to be "Hey, we know what we/Egyptians fucking look like. All Africans do not look the same. Stop trying to solve this western obsession with race with our historical stories"

Like on one hand it doesn't matter what race anyone is cast as. Dev Patel was a great David Copperfield.

It seems what's not sitting right is the idea of Hollywood correcting some misconception or something about Cleopatra's ethnicity (apparently she was ethnically Greek?). Or overcorrecting from having Liz Taylor do it.

But also could be that these Egyptologists are a bunch of dickheads that don't like being called black. Who fucking knows?






More or less completely unimportant, but no less hilarious for all that.

Cleopatra was as far as i remember about 3 generations down from the gang of people who were left ruling mini states after the conquest empire of alexander the great fell apart on his death. They all started infighting and setup all thier own little dynasties. I only sorta learned anything about it recently but his imprint is on so many things, it's mad.
