Quarantine viral videos: Good Omens – Lockdown

4 May 2020 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Continuing in TMINE’s new series of quarantine viral videos, we have Good Omens – Lockdown, in which Michael Sheen and David Tennant reprise their Good Omens characters to discuss the boredom of quarantine. The script, you may be excited to hear, was written by Neil Gaiman and it’s not just because everyone’s bored – Good Omens is 30.

Quarantine viral videos: stuntwomen and actresses beat each other up

4 May 2020 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

In a new feature on TMINE, we’re going to be looking at what actors, actresses and other members of TV and movie production crews have been up to during the Covid-19 lockdown – as long as they’ve been making videos of it. Which is what most of them seem to be doing these days.

Over the weekend, a whole bunch of actresses and their stunt doubles were so bored, they decided to make their own video in which they seem to beat each other up. Among the assailants: Lucy Lawless, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis, Rosario Dawson, Cameron Diaz, Florence Pugh, Daryl Hannah, Zoe Saldana, Thandie Newton, Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson and Margot Robbie.

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
