Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Tyrannosaur (2011)

Hannah: You're a child of God.
Joseph: God ain't my fucking daddy. My daddy was a cunt, 
but he knew he was a cunt. God still thinks he's God. 
Nobody's told him otherwise. 
Hannah: Why are you so angry at God? 
Joseph: Why are you so fucking stupid? 
I've met people like you all my fucking life. 
Goodie goodies. Make a charity record. 
Bake a cake. Save a fucking soul! 
You've never eaten shit. Don't know what it's like out there.

Okay not the most cheerful "Life Lesson" there today but they can't all be "life is beautiful" (and yes I am talking to you, Roberto Benigni) -- anyway a happy 50th birthday to the queen Olivia Colman! I only saw Tyrannosaur within the past couple of years, after I'd already fallen hard for Olivia with the rest of the world, but my god her work in this movie is devastating. Go watch it if you've never seen it -- she will smash your heart into a million itty bitties. What are your favorite Olivia performances these days? I also thought she was very funny, in a very different register from what we're used to, in Wonka

I’ve been watching some of Olivia Coleman’s earliest performances in British sketch tv shows : Bruiser, The Mitchell & Webb Situation, That Mitchell & Webb Look, and Look Around You. Some really fun characters!
