Seine Affairen mit all den schönen Frauen, die ihm scharenweise verfallen, nutzt der Halunke und Tunichtgut Bel Ami nur, um sich auf der Karriereleiter hinaufzubewegen. Natürlich entgeht er seiner gerechten Strafe nicht, interessanterweise allerdings nur in der Hollywoodvariante, nicht in Maupassants berühmten Roman, habe ich jetzt herausgefunden. Läuft im Rahmen der stark vernachlässigten immerwährenden George-Sanders-Wochen und Angela-Lansbury-Wertschätzung-Maßnahmen.

Happy heavenly birthday to Greta Garbo, who was born on this day in 1905.
“Greta's art and character deserve far more appreciation than I can give it in these few pages in this book. There is so much more that I could continue to develop and analyze about this inexhaustible subject on the artistic, human and mystical level I feel I have only scratched the surface in giving this slight picture of her as an artist and as a person. I have said nothing of Greta's mystic quality, which is extremely strong, and which, in spite of her lack of understanding of it in herself, controls most of her motives and actions. She is unconsciously suspicious of this, too, and tries to suppres it and fight against it. If she would give herself completely over to it and be always guided by it, I belive she would spititually and mentally integrate and come powerfully into her own. She will one day — without the slightest doubt.
To know Greta— one must know the North. She may live the rest of her life in a Southern climate but she will always be Nordic with all its sober and introvert characteristics. To know her one must know — really know — wind, rain and dark brooding skies. She is of the elements — actually and symbolically. Forever in this present incarnation, she will be a Viking's child — troubled by a dream of snow.” Mercedes de Acosta in Here Lies the Heart.

Here's my random list of people I'd like to see on taskmaster at some point and why:
The six idiots - it will be chaotic and just make me so happy, I feel for the most chaos Simon and Ben would be good but I want to see all of them
David Mitchell - I would love to see his rants at the unfairness of the scoring
Sandi toksvig - I feel she'll be good at finding loopholes, which I always love
Simon bird - he's in two of my favourite series, the inbetweeners and Friday night dinner, just let me see him in taskmaster
Susan calman - I feel she would get angry at the tasks and then Alex, getting her bonus points
Susie dent - honestly a wildcard from me but it will be great to see her using the wordings of tasks to her benefit
Bill bailey - the musical tasks will be so good to watch
Robin ince - I feel he might be an underdog but will be so entertaining
John finnemore - again I think he'll be chaotic but also have quite a bit out of the box thinking
