Hey Shelf:

[spoiler]Did you see that mouse running across the carpet at the beginning of S4E3 of The Crown?  WTF?[/spoiler]

Not very serious spoiler if you haven't seen S4E3 of The Crown yet.

[spoiler]Yeah - I feel like away from the grand public rooms and the ones that are always being used like bedrooms, the royal palaces are a bit rundown. Plus they're old buildings: mice everywhere.[/spoiler]

But do you think they included it in the shot on purpose?

Of course they did, even if it was accidental they'd have alternate takes without it to chose instead

I like using R2's dome as Vader's pauldron. I'm confused about the green lizard with the sword, though.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Star Wars was always more about fantasy than SF anyways. Even Lucas said so once. Granted, the backtracked more than once, namely about artworks preservation for instance.  :P

The Crown is probably my favorite thing on Netflix but every time I watch an episode I think to myself "Why haven't the Brits rid themselves of this ghastly family yet?"  :bowler:
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Episode 2 of this current season gave me 100% that feeling.

If you are British and in doubt, look back to cca. 1880 and see if the thing was in place or not. If yes, it is good and should be kept.

Agree. Admittedly I feel that most of the time.

Yes. Impressive TV to make Thatcher an empathetic character :lol:

I don't know how true that episode is but Thatcher absolutely hated their annual visit to holiday with the royals in Balmoral. She dreaded it every year and noted how much time and effort they would spend trying to make sure they followed all of the very detailed and lengthy protocols and traditions.

But then the experience of trying to adjust for other people is something the royals have never really experienced <_<
