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.

Bill Nighy - Lawrence - The Girl In The Cafe

The answer is no. Too much Bill is a contradictio in terminus.
I was going to write a one line post today:
“The only successful marriage I had was me and my work.”
Because I really don’t have much of a life at the moment. I am juggling between [...]

The Girl In The Cafe on tour
A short update on the on The Girl in the Cafe project.
I love people who love Bill Nighy. And I actually love all people who take the time and the energy to participate in this project, who write those beautiful personal reviews on the film and who pass [...]

The Girl In The Cafe on tour
While The Girl in the Cafe is about to take off for her first Middle Eastern trip, 3 participants have published their reviews on their websites.
Aukje in the Netherlands.
Cally in the UK.
Mik in Luxembourg.
A big thank you to all of them, both for passing on the DVD and for [...]

Bill Nighy - Lawrence - The Girl in the Cafe

It will always be my favourite subject to write about, and it’s also an excellent excuse to post a picture that hasn’t anything to do with New York. Not directly anyway.
Here is an update on the project.
The Girl is currently staying in Luxembourg, the UK and [...]

Bill Nighy and Kelly McDonald - The Girl In The Cafe

With recent sign ups from both Washington and Amsterdam (update: and London and Australia), there doesn’t seem to come an end to the travel of The Girl. She is heading for another US and UK tour soon.
The Girl has also been in New Zealand, visiting [...]

The Girl In The Cafe
Firstly, a long due update about the The Girl In The Cafe DVD on tour project.
The Girl DVD is still touring, and currently on her way to Brazil, Germany and New Zealand. People are friendly enough to send the Girl to the next person, but writing reviews seems to have been [...]

Bill Nighy as Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe

A post very much due (excuses for the wait to the people who have contributed!).
First, here is another clip of Bill Nighy’s trip to Tanzania, where he clearly explains why he thinks aid is a good thing, and that it in fact works on the [...]

The Girl In The Cafe

I received a couple of good e-mails the last few days which is something that always makes me happy. Most of them were related to the Girl on tour which is an ongoing logistic planning project, but if I could do it full time I would quit my job right here [...]

Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe

The Girl is still touring, she has recently visited Portugal and here is a beautiful review. A big Thank You for that.

2 hours in The Cafe and it was done. 2 cups of tea and warm apple cake drowned in custard did the trick for me. I normally don’t think about it that much any more, but I did yesterday: it feels good that my first script actually got written in The Cafe from The Girl [...]

Chinese New Year

China in London
The nice thing about living in London is it’s diversity in cultures. There is a rather big Chinese community in London, and yesterday was the celebration of the Chinese New Year. The Year of the Pig has now officially started. The streets look beautiful with the red lanterns and there are [...]

The Girl in the Cafe
14 different countries, and Hawaii are on the current list of locations for The Girl in the Cafe on tour project. The Girl has just packed her bag and is currently on her way to Charlotte’s web (Germany) and Man over board (New Zealand).
There are 2 new reviews up from soyouthinkican(USA) [...]

The Girl In The Cafe
Yes, Laurie liked the film too…
The Girl in the Caf? - A review by Laurie Cranston
A quirky film which brings together the idea that a simple concept can sometimes be bogged down in the detail.

What is that man doing here you wonder? I think we have looked at Will Ferrell and Daniel Craig long enough now haven’t we. And we are in the middle of a small update on The Girl In The Cafe on tour project, so it is completely legitimate.
Things are going a bit slower here [...]

The Girl In The Cafe
What can I say, Bart doesn’t like Bill Nighy. Ouch.
I am not entirely sure that he likes the film either, but read his review yourself.
In the mean time, one Girl is trying to catch some sunlight in Spain before flying to Holland, and the other one is in the States and [...]

The Girl In The Cafe

I love this project. And I love it when people love the film and write a nice review. The latest one comes from Aarhus, Denmark where Dorte wrote a wonderful review about this wonderful film.
Sit back and relax, make a cup of tea, find a biscuit or two and [...]

USA, Netherlands, Denmark, Scotland, Spain, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Belgium, Portugal.
I had no idea when I started this that she was going to travel this far. And despite some hickups along the way, people have been very kind to keep their promises of writing a review and making sure that she was send off [...]

Bill Nighy - The Girl In The Cafe

Bill Nighy/Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe
Let’s attempt to write something that makes sense, which is hard, as millions of balls are bouncing in my head at the moment. It is inevitable that Nighy will be a regular here the coming months, so be warned.
Nathan has participated [...]
