Incidentally...
James MacAvoy interview, apropos his playing the title role in Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (which appearantly leans into homerotic subtext for Cyrano/Christian), which contains this gem:
I once sat with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen and both of them had a ‘Macbeth-off’ where they started speaking Macbeth to each other. I had just finished doing Macbeth and I swear I could not remember a syllable, man. It was awful.”
Now we know how everyone entertained themselves when shooting Days of Fuiture Past. I wish there was a recording!
Farscape:
Deep is a John/Scorpius vid which is already a few years old but which I've only seen today, so I am newly enthused about its fabulousness!
Lastly, liraen, get this: according to this article in the SZ, the fantastic Dürer exhibition from Aachen moved on to London - only for the National Gallery to exchange two thirds of the exhibited content and completely change the focus from Dürer in the Netherlands to Dürer in Italy, then be surprised when as opposed to the very popular and successful Aix-La-Chapelle original, the result flopped. Boo. Hiss.
