Hee, I totally thought "he's going to look so good when he's older!"
Rufus is immense. You should see him in Taming Of The Shrew, he's not eeevil in that, just sexy. Ooh, and Middlemarch!
Applause? Jealous. I keep waiting for a movie to get appluase over here, but it probably won't happen. Not in Southport, anyway. Although, the applause thing really bugs me in theatre. You see American clips of Les Mis, and it's like 'ooh, a flag!' *applause* 'ooh, they lifted the small child!' *applause* 'ooh, they went off and came back on again!' *applause* Which is fair enough, if you want to show your appreciation, and I like the enthusiasm, just... don't applaud in the middle of a number! Whoops, tangent!
So, guilt is fun, isn't it? It's the 200th anniversary of abolition this year (which you probaby know, since you know more about British history than I do! It's not my fault, I did Modern at A-Level! I can tell you stuff about the Holocaust!), so there are guiltcakes a plenty all over the place. Plus, there was a big hoohah because Tony Blair apologised without actually apologising. And stuff.
The whole political engagement via media thing is great in principle, but the only stuff we really get over here is satire, which isn't really conducive to participation. If you can track it down online, though, you should watch The Thick Of It, you should, because it's bloody hilarious.
The whole Tory thing makes me laugh, because where it actually used to be the name of the party, now it's more of a (usually derogatory) nickname.

IMAX... Gerry's abs were the size of my house.
