Morning Coffee (2/24/17)

(I'm traveling, so I put this list together in advance. Back to real time on Thursday!)

Time for some happy Friday links!

My favorite headline of all time: Tom Hiddleston laughs off playing Eddie Redmayne’s elephant in school play

This is a very important investigation into the Finnish first dog: Finland Has a Very Good Boy

More important dogs of the world: Setting tails wagging: the costumed pups of the Rio dog carnival

!!! Here's Emma Watson Singing 'Belle,' Opening Song From Beauty And the Beast

Also: Emma Watson cried happy tears seeing Hermione's future in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (ME TOO, Emma Watson, me too.)

These are probably going to be gross but I will absolutely try them: It's Official: Peeps-Flavored Oreos Are Here

So cool: The Queen’s wedding cake saved by 3D printing

Let's go to this literary fashion exhibit: A Vanderbilt Library Comes to Life

Whoa: This Lego Booth Scans Your Face and Makes a Custom Kit So You Can Build Yourself Out of Legos

Next time I'm in Worcester I'll have to remember to go to Lois Lane.

These Miniature Dollhouses Are So Cute We Can Hardly Stand It

Morning Coffee (3/11/16)

Happy Friday!

ICYMI: Your February book review finally posted, because I didn't want it getting lost in all the movie posts. You'll get a second one for March. If you want two book reviews EVERY month, consider supporting me on Patreon - that's the next goal!

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is writing a book!

New DuckTales!!!

Speaking of revivals, I'm mildly interesting in this Legends of the Hidden Temple movie but I wish they'd just bring it back AS A GAME SHOW.

GQ's Eddie Redmayne profile is thoroughly delightful. (Apparently delightful magazine profile are the way to my heart. Last night a friend on Twitter asked which celebrities we wanted to kiss, and I had to think about it a lot but eventually came up with "Damian Lewis, because of his New Yorker profile.")

This Game of Thrones snow art is incredible.

19 essential books about TV sounds relevant to our interests.

Whoa, look at these knitted electronics.

Amazing: "Siblings Jack Gore, 10, and Phoebe Gore, 7, founders of the Gore & Gore Detective Agency, already have three solved cases under their belt. They’re organized, quick and know what it takes to build a solid reputation solving mysteries."

Morning Coffee (12/15/15)

Aaaah, the first Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trailer is out! It doesn't reveal much, of course, but I love the look and tone of it so far.

We also have the first trailer for Star Trek Beyond, and people on Twitter were freaking out (I know, I know) for various reasons but I think it looks mostly fine so far? (One of the specific concerns I saw was that no women spoke in the trailer, and while I'd love these movies to have more/better female roles, I just don't think that's . . . true? That alien woman spoke a few times, right?)

And related to that other big movie thing everyone's talking about: Lawyers Weigh in on Han v Greedo, Because That’s Where We’re at as a Society

Okay. On to more serious matters. (Sorry!) GOP leaders hate Ted Cruz, but he may be their last best hope

New Yorker profiles are basically my favorite thing; here's David Remnick on John Kerry.

This New York Times profile of Justin Trudeau is also a great read.

Related: He did Justin Trudeau in 60 Seconds for Macleans and it's DELIGHTFUL.

Sad news: Lillian Vernon has died. Her story is QUITE SOMETHING and I loved that catalog as a kid.

Marlon James is writing an "African Game of Thrones." Seriously, click on that and read his quotes about why he's doing this. I love him.

Morning Coffee (2/20/15)

Happy Friday!

This Sound of Music fiftieth anniversary profile of Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer is great and the ending made me cry.

Jenji Kohan's HBO pilot sounds intriguing - historical hysteria, possibly Salem? Whee.

Also sounding intriguing: Ishiguro's new Arthurian novel.

Whoa: This Teeny Chair Can Assemble Itself

This Nick Hornby interview is delightful and made me wonder why I've only read a few of his books.

Oooh: A Glimpse Inside the Hidden Vault Where Harvard Keeps Millions of Books

Jacqueline Wilson is writing an update of What Katy Did!

"If Chris Evans were your boyfriend, New England would not be covered in snow right now."

And to make sure your Friday gets off to a good start, here's Eddie Redmayne playing the piano.
