Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

A simply incredible wordsmith. Brazil alone, never mind Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, Last Crusade and Empire of the Sun. What a legacy. www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/n...

Still thinking about Anthology Ep9. Like on the surface, it's total fluff, but it hits really hard for some reason. It's just EPK stuff, but it feels like a time machine. There's a couple of home video clips of John I've never seen before, too.

In 1984's Supergirl, Lucy Lane has a pin-up portrait of Prince Andrew. Which now takes on the appearance of a man peeking in through the window.
