Just because it brings a smile to my face. All three of them (Rupert Grint, Emily Blunt and Bill Nighy) are great at comedy. And this is a rather pleasant watch too! (Link em up! – How groovy is that man!) But yeah – do that!

More than 50 charities are supporting a UK campaign to levy a Tobin tax on transactions between financial institutions, which can be used to help fight poverty, protect public services and tackle climate change. I think it is a brilliant idea. And this man is also just very luvely. More about Robin Hood Tax here. [...]

If you missed Statuesque, the brilliant silent short film by Neil Gaiman with Bill Nighy in the lead, please press play now before it’s gone. (It is about 8 minutes in length) Very Lawrence. Very lovely. Very heart breakingly sweet.

Glorious 39 Of course I booked a ticket when I saw that Glorious 39 was going to be screened at the London Film Festival. I love Stephen Poliakoff dramas (Gideon’s Daughter, The Lost Prince are great) and he always seems to be able to assemble a fantastic cast. And Glorious 39 does have the most [...]

Bill Nighy on set of Statuesque, here relaxing in between takes (one of my absolute favourite photos of Bill) While I am in the middle of getting very exited about my upcoming trip the the USA, yesterday made September even more magical. I knew BIll Nighy was going to star in Statuesque, a new short [...]

The Boat That Rocked – Rock ‘n Roll Baby And finally finally it was the day where The Boat That Rocked entered the harbours of London. The anticipation was high, this was after all a Richard Curtis movie with Bill Nighy in it. A winning combination, right? (Very right, as I have seen it three [...]

The Boat That Rocked – World Premiere in London You know how it goes with film premieres and me. I never really want to go but I always end up going. And they always start out bad and then they tend to end, well, better. Sometimes they end great, and sometimes they end like “wow”. [...]

Things to make your Friday 3 minute clip from the upcoming The Boat That Rocked.

Bill Nighy – Col. Olbricht in Valkyrie Valkyrie The first time I saw Valkyrie was last Saturday, together with someone who appreciates the acting (amongst others) skills of Mr. Nighy as much as I do. The 11.00am screening in Devon seemed to have been exclusively reserved for us, we had a private screening! Valkyrie is [...]

Bill on Leicester Square, Valkyrie premiere – floppy hair is cool I really wasn’t going to go. I don’t like big crowds like that, and I have been so busy all week I just wanted to go home and relax with a cup of Yorkshire tea, right. Right? And that other part of me thought, [...]

POPB Life has its funny ways.

Let me be your lighthouse (Send to a friend) Some random bits before I leave for Christmas (which is not before Wednesday): I need to buy a present for those two slime monsters. I am going to spent some days with them in Ireland after Christmas and I am sure we will be even better [...]

Bill Nighy as Quentin in the Boat that Rocked Very. Groovy. Indeed. Update: I reshuffled the design a bit an incorporated the new logo. It’s not completely finished yet but far enough to use it. I have called this design “Quentin” – very appropiate I think. I am not so sure about the background it [...]

Lawrence – Bill Nighy – The Girl in the Cafe Will she ever stop? I don’t know. I have recently received email from new participants from Spain and the UK, so people still seem interested. As long as she is comfortable traveling, I will let her do so. Several people have written reviews, step inside [...]

Yes Viktor, I feel a bit like that too There are a couple of reasons for this: I can’t find a producer just yet. I don’t want to make this film without being properly prepared. And I simply need a producer who can help me with budgets, contracts, release forms, locations and things like that. [...]

It must be a perfect moment to have a post about The Girl In The Cafe on tour, seeing as another important G8 meeting is held in Japan as we speak. Now just in case you don’t remember what it was all about, here is a message from your Uncle Bill, as he can explain [...]

Bill Nighy as Lawrence in the Girl in the Cafe Because he is such a great and groovy and intelligent man. Because it is such an important issue. Because it is so related to The Girl in the Cafe – we do a Bill post. How long has it been anyway! Bill Nighy is currently [...]

Love Lane, Peel Some random stuff, mostly movies related.

Bill Nighy – Lawrence – The Girl In The Cafe It’s time for a post about my favourite subject and a picture of my favourite actor. 2 years and a bit on and the Girl has visited 65 people and there is still a queue (9, so it’s now 74 people) for more visits.

Easter in the snow This blog has been neglected pretty badly lately. I will try to get back to the normal update frequency (whatever that is) asap. And yes I do feel quite a bit better, thank you. Back at work now, and it feels like I haven’t been there for 6 months. Don’t know [...]
