usedtobeljsNot exactly a talkative year for me, I guess....
Five Things I Will Cherish About 2019, Fannish/Entertainment/Culture Edition:
1) Betrayal in London and on Broadway. Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton (and Charlie Cox) rocked my damn world, and I am still pondering the show and Jamie Lloyd's direction, and one specific moment: the second performance I saw on Broadway, I was sitting in a different part of the auditorium for the penultimate scene (Emma and Jerry's first afternoon in the adultery flat, with Robert sitting and cradling his and Emma's child, moving on the revolve through the scene), and when Ashton's Emma said to Jerry, "Tell me...have you ever thought...about changing your life?" she looked at Hiddleston's Robert, who looked back, and it was like lightning in the theatre.
I literally think about that every other day.
2) Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, my first time of seeing them after years of wanting to. It was music, joy, and a damn well-dressed man.
3) Good Omens and the David Tennant Renaissance of 2019. [Related: Georgia Tennant's Instagram.] [Also, Michael Sheen is a feral delight indeed.]
4) Season 4 of Lucifer and Season Whatever of Endeavour. I love all those characters so much.
5) Four-way tie for this: Gillian Anderson slinking around the stage in All About Eve; The Ocean at the End of the Lane at the National; the seduction scene in the first half of Cyrano in Jamie Lloyd's production, wherein James McAvoy works his lower register whilst doing an East London accent to imitate Christian and basically demolishes the resistance of Roxane and everyone in the auditorium; Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip in The Crown.
I will not comment on the rest of 2019 for fear of ranting or whining or both. But I wish all of us a happy 2020.
