Wed, 14:22: I only learned yesterday that Terence Stamp died on Sunday. He had two truly iconic roles: General Zod in SUPERMAN II, and Bernadette in THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT.
The news prompted me last night to go looking for his movies that might be available to stream. Turns out he had a small but key part in the 1987 film WALL STREET, which is on Hulu so we watched it. The movie was . . . fine. Fascinating for many reasons, none of which had anything to do with Terence Stamp.
More recently he was in a couple of Tim Burton's late-period (mediocre period) movies: BIG EYES in 2014, and MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN (enough with these ridiculously long titles!) in 2016. His final screen credit was the Edgar Wright film LAST NIGHT IN SOHO in 2021, when Stamp was 83. He died at 87.
A pretty great run. Character actors who are also icons are kind of my favorite. https://t.co/TyBfb14JhO

Wed, 16:07: We had our final Office Relocation Team meeting in the current office today—final day in this office is on Friday—and shortly before the meeting ended, Sara went and fetched her surprise for all of us on the team: lanyards, each with a different fruit print.
Sara handed me the banana one and said, "Something tells me you'll want this one." She wasn't wrong!
And then, when no one else claimed the peach one, we agreed that it would pair perfectly with the banana. Ha! "You can alternate days," she said.
(If you know you know … I mean, maybe I should have requested eggplant) https://t.co/5iEbqfDgAq
