Hugh Laurie has seen it all. The British star might have never hoped of pursuing acting as a profession in the long run. But a freak injury (and a fortuitous turn of events) saw him foray into acting. And what a journey has it been for real.
The Stuart Little star has scaled the heights of the Industry , with his shows in particular marking the peak of his career. For him, it has all been about going from strength to strength ever since. Receiving his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was all but obvious. But even he couldn’t wrap his head around the same.

In America, we still like to pretend we don’t operate within an Old World-style class system. (Should you continue to labor under that delusion in the year of our lord 2023, we suggest you try taking a commercial airline flight some time.) Anyone can rise above their station, one bootstrap-tug at a time! England, however, has never tried to hide the fact that there was, is, and always has been a separation of haves and have-nots governed by toxic traditionalism, strict social strata, and fetishized notions of aristocracy.

Penguin Random House has altered what it termed the “unacceptable prose” of author P.G. Wodehouse in new editions of his classic Jeeves and Wooster series.
The publisher also warned readers of “outdated” terms in the revamped works, the Sunday Telegraph reports.
Publishers have recently been changing older classic works by such authors as Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming to reflect current sensibilities. The changes have been condemned by some as ruining the original vision of the authors.
The Jeeves and Wooster books portray Bertie Wooster and his valet, Jeeves, and consist of 35 short stories and 11 novels.
A disclaimer printed on the opening pages of the 2023 reissue of Wodehouse’s Thank you, Jeeves, notes, “Please be aware that this book was published in the 1930s and contains language, themes and characterizations which you may find outdated. In the present edition we have sought to edit, minimally, words that we regard as unacceptable to present-day readers.

Seventy-five years ago, the House Committee on Un-American Activities (Huac for purposes of pronunciation) launched the first of its series of postwar investigations into alleged communist subversion in Hollywood.
The show trial was staged from Oct. 20 to 30, 1947, and you can probably rewind the newsreel images in your mind’s eye: the unhinged committee chairman, J. Parnell Thomas (D-n.J.), yelling over witnesses and furiously pounding his gavel; the compliant straight men accusing former colleagues of the most unpatriotic heresies in Cold War America; and the backtalking recalcitrants being hauled away from the witness table mid-harangue.
In countless documentaries and fictional reenactments, the confrontations are cast as a morality play pitting the craven Friendlies (as those who named names and sucked up to the committee are called) against the defiant Unfriendlies, who refused to cower before their inquisitors and would soon to be immortalized...

MGM’s remake of the grand musical can’t be ignored — the restored transfer is stunning, demonstrating the studio’s technical skill at full tilt. There are good aspects to this version, even if it’s mostly a missed opportunity more notable for production backstories than for itself. It’s Kathryn Grayson’s high water mark at MGM, and Howard Keel does yeoman’s work on his side. MGM’s musical arrangements of the Hammerstein / Kern songbook is as good as ever. Most critics in 1951 thought it superior because it was in Technicolor; and it was one of the top $ money earners of the year.

As part of our campaign to highlight our ongoing battle against Dr. Seuss Enterprises (and we hope you can help us out) we’re highlighting examples of art that wouldn’t exist without fair use.
Here’s one from Roger Langridge, well known for his work on Snarked!, The Muppet Show, Mugwhump the Great, Popeye, and Doctor Who, doing his own version of P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves stories.
According to Roger:
The rights issues are a bit confusing: this particular story is in public domain in the USA, but (apparently) not in the UK, so I’m not sure if a book is even a possibility. Nevertheless, I’ve adapted it as a comic (originally published in 1916 in the Saturday Evening Post under the title “Leave It to Jeeves“) to show what I could do with it if given the opportunity.

One of the quirks of Il Cinema Ritrovato, Bologna's annual jamboree celebrating restored or rediscovered movies, is that expensive products of the Hollywood studio system can be just as obscure and hard-to-see as low-budget oddities, foreign arthouse affairs and forgotten silents from a hundred years ago. Dave Kehr's retrospective of neglected items from Universal's vaults demonstrates this clearly.James Whale always liked to say By Candlelight was his favorite of his own films, bypassing the more celebrated Frankenstein films. It's a romantic comedy of confused identities and it's no surprise that P.G. Wodehouse had a hand in the stage source.But in this movie, when a butler impersonates his master in order to seduce a wealthy lady who turns out to be a maid impersonating her mistress, all the irony of Wodehouse's inversion of traditional ideas about class has gone. All right, so George Orwell argued persuasively that Wodehouse...

I’m hesitant to outright recommend almost anything – books, movies, music, TV shows, and so on. Invariably someone acts on my recommendation, doesn’t like it, and blames me for the waste of their time and/or money. “It sucks, Ostrander”, they say, “and so do you!”
However, from time to time I encounter something I truly enjoy so I’ll share my enjoyment and you can decide if it’s something you want to try.
I’ve recently read the three novels in The Chronicles of Kazam (and really wish the fourth and final volume was available right now) by Jasper Fforde and had a wonderful time with them. I’ve enjoyed Mr. Fforde before with his Thursday Next series and the Nursery Crimes novels but the Chronicles of Kazam had eluded me until brought to my attention by my very good friend, Jim Murdoch (Hi Jim!).

When Ffj sticks to farce, it works wonderfully, like something P.G. Wodehouse might have loved. But the longer it goes on, the more maudlin it gets. I’m “biast” (pro): like star Meryl Streep and director Stephen Frears; desperate for stories about women
I’m “biast” (con): nothing

Typical. You wait forever for a movie about Florence Foster Jenkins, and then two come along at once. Actually, I’m pretty sure I’d never heard of Jenkins before this film entered my radar a few months back, but it’s easy to see what drew multiple filmmakers to her: She’s a great story. Jenkins was a real person, a rich socialite and music lover who lived in New York in the early 20th century and enjoyed performing amateur operatics, which is all well and good, except she was a terrible singer: always off-key,...

Constance Cummings: Stage and film actress ca. early 1940s. Constance Cummings on stage: From Sacha Guitry to Clifford Odets (See previous post: “Constance Cummings: Flawless 'Blithe Spirit,' Supporter of Political Refugees.”) In the post-World War II years, Constance Cummings' stage reputation continued to grow on the English stage, in plays as diverse as: Stephen Powys (pseudonym for P.G. Wodehouse) and Guy Bolton's English-language adaptation of Sacha Guitry's Don't Listen, Ladies! (1948), with Cummings as one of shop clerk Denholm Elliott's mistresses (the other one was Betty Marsden). “Miss Cummings and Miss Marsden act as fetchingly as they look,” commented The Spectator. Rodney Ackland's Before the Party (1949), delivering “a superb performance of controlled hysteria” according to theater director and Michael Redgrave biographer Alan Strachan, writing for The Independent at the time of Cummings' death.

Fox has recently announced a reboot for the ailing League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen franchise. We take a look at its options...
It's probably fair to say that with news breaking recently to the effect that Fox are planning to reboot The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, their Alan Moore-created literary super-team franchise, reactions were a trifle mixed. For ardent fans of the original graphic novels, the response was polarised between excitement and disgust; to those whose only exposure to the League was the much maligned 2003 film adaptation starring Sean Connery, the announcement was most probably met with an iceberg of apathy floating amidst a sea of indifference.
In case you're unaware of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, it was created by Alan Moore and artist Kevin O'Neill in the late 90s. The original incarnation of The League are a disparate group of Victorian-era public domain literary characters, brought together by...

Mortdecai
Written by Eric Aronson
Directed by David Koepp
USA, 2015
Seemingly late in the game of David Koepp’s Mortdecai, the eponymous character (played by Johnny Depp) asks his wife, “Are you quite finished with your barrage of insults?” It’s an apt question for the film itself, a cataclysmically unfunny, unbelievably tedious disaster of baffling misjudgments and multiple career lows that feels as long as Shoah, and only a little less harrowing. No such luck, though, as the film goes on for another 25 minutes. It then ends on people about to throw up. Also apt.
Lord Charlie Mortdecai (Depp, in a career low as both actor and one of the film’s producers) is an eccentric English art dealer and “part time rogue”, and the sort of whimsical, foppish figure who refers to America as “the Colonies”. (This film is apparently set in the present day.) He’s in...

Chicago – I have to say while watching Johnny Depp in “Mortdecai,” I found myself amused. I rarely elicited anything more than a slight chuckle, but its indomitable spirit of silliness made it a not entirely unpleasant evening out.
This feather-weight trifle of a caper is only slightly more than the funny mustache movie its posters and trailer make it out to be.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Depp as Mortdecai comes across as sort of a randier Austin Powers, with more of a roguish rascal aura about him. Based on a character from a series of novels in the 1970’s by the late Kyril Bonfiglioli, Mortdecai is another in a long line of upper class British bumblers. He has all the upper class affectations of the aristocracy with none of the brains. While the film delves deeply into bathroom, breasts and boner humor, the spirit of the character wouldn’t be entirely out of...

The cast of Mortdecai, Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany & Johnny Depp, discuss the making of the upcoming movie in this behind-the-scenes featurette.
Add to the list of puckish rogues, charming ne’er-do-wells and sly adventurers played by Johnny Depp the role of Charlie Mortdecai, cash-strapped British aristocrat and protagonist of the new action-comedy Mortdecai. Based on the charismatic anti-hero of Kyril Bonfiglioli’s popular trilogy (Don’t Point That Thing at Me, Something Nasty in the Woodshed and After You with the Pistol), Charlie Mortdecai is a professional bon vivant and occasional art dealer perpetually at the end of his financial rope.
Upbeat, satirical and utterly British in style and tone, the novels featuring Charlie and his manservant Jock Strapp are often compared to P.G. Wodehouse’s madcap creations, the Jeeves and Wooster stories. In Mortdecai, Charlie charms, schemes and blunders his way in and out of hilariously compromising...

Mummy On The Orient Express
By Jamie Mathieson
Directed by Paul Wilmshurst
As a farewell fling, The Doctor takes Clara on a trip aboard the Orient Express in space, exactingly copied from the original, except for the bit about being spaceworthy. It becomes quickly apparent that all is not well on the craft – a mysterious unseen beast is killing people exactly 66 seconds after the victim sees it – and no one else does. It turns out this particular journey is a massive two-fold trap – the ship is filled with scientists versed in areas of research that pertain to the beast, and are pressed into service to capture it, by any means necessary.

My wife knows how to make me smile: she just gave me some shoeshine cloths featuring Edward Everett Horton on the package! As a fan and connoisseur of character actors from Hollywood’s golden age, nothing could please me more. And who knows, maybe I’ll even use the disposable wipes to make my shoes look better. I don’t imagine the people at The Decent Man’s Grooming Tools could identify Mr. Horton: whoever designed their product line probably looked for amusing shots in a photo morgue, and that’s that. If the researcher had been more movie-savvy he or she might have sought out a pose of Arthur Treacher, who, after all, was the ultimate movie butler. (He even played P.G. Wodehouse’s...

Blandings Acorn Media
Kieran Kinsella
Prepare to be amused because on 3 September, Acorn Media are releasing the BBC’s hysterically funny Blandings on DVD. The six-part character-based comedy is based on the Blandings Castle stories by P.G. Wodehouse (Jeeves and Wooster). Like most of his work, Blandings pokes fun at the aristocracy and the class divisions that formed the backbone of Downton Abbey-era Britain.
Timothy Spall (The Syndicate) is the king of the castle as it were. He plays Lord Clarence Emsworth — the pig-loving, Lord of the Manor who dreams of leading a quiet life. His biggest problem is his domineering younger sister Connie, Lady Keeble (Jennifer Saunders). Widowed some years before, she has taken to creating and enforcing rules in the Blandings Castle. While Connie is a stickler for the rules, Clarence’s second son Freddie Threepwood is anything but. He is a profligate who can’t behave...

Ripper Street‘s Matthew Macfadyen and Episodes‘ Stephen Mangan are set to star in Perfect Nonsense, a new take on the works of P.G. Wodehouse. The play will see Mangan as bumbling fop Bertie Wooster and Macfadyen as his brilliant butler Jeeves. Wodehouse first created the characters in 1915 and they’ve been portrayed on stage and screen going back to 1935. More recently, Stephen Fry played Jeeves to Hugh Laurie’s Bertie in the cult 1990s ITV series Jeeves & Wooster. Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sean Foley is directing Perfect Nonsense with previews starting in the UK in October. There’s no word yet on a Stateside transfer. Foley’s I Can’t Sing! — The X Factor Musical, produced by Simon Cowell’s Syco, is gearing up for a March 2014 rollout in London.

60 Years of Playboy In honor of Hugh Hefner's birthday, we take a look back at some of the most iconic Playboy covers. By Lizzie Plaugic Everyone’s favorite octogenarian is celebrating his 87th birthday tomorrow. No, not Rupert Murdoch—no one likes that guy! I’m talking about the Double-h, Dirty Mag Dan, the Entrepreneur Extraordinaire, Hugh Hefner. It’s been almost 60 years since the first issue of Playboy was released, and in that time, the media empire has influenced the aesthetics of print pornography and laid the groundwork for movies starring Anna Faris (The House Bunny, circa 2008 ). And let’s not forget the words: Playboy has published work by the likes of Vladimir Nabokov, Chuck Palahniuk, P.G. Wodehouse, and Hunter S. Thompson. We have it on good authority Hugh doesn’t like cakes or surprise parties, so to celebrate the day of his earthly awakening, we [...]...

Would there be Broadway musicals without the Gershwins? Probably, but happily, that's a rhetorical question.
In the 2012 season, it is striking how much George and Ira still get around, and as Matthew Broderick and Kelli O'Hara sing in "Nice Work If You Can Get It," -- " 'S Wonderful." They sing many familiar Gershwin songs in this new musical, set during Prohibition.
Director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall ("Anything Goes") makes great use of the talent. O'Hara, a gem, earned another Tony nomination for her work as Billie, a tough bootlegger. There's a sweetness to her voice and presence, and she moves well as Billie, a tough bootlegger.
Broderick ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off") plays Jimmy Winter, a feckless, thrice married rich guy with a weakness for chorines and hooch. As lovely as O'Hara is, and as rich as the supporting characters are, Broderick is pleasant and very likeable. His voice is fine,...

Matthew Broderick makes Kelli O'Hara laugh so hard she falls down. Literally."If I get tickled in a certain way, I actually lose the ability to stand," O'Hara says. "I don't mean to, but something happens to my knees and I fall on the ground. And it hasn't happened as much in my life until I started rehearsing with him."The delightful pair is all laughs, despite facing a demanding rehearsal schedule and intense development process as they prepare for the world premiere of "Nice Work If You Can Get It," which opens on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre April 24.Inspired by the 1926 "Oh, Kay!," with music and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin and book by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, the musical chronicles the exploits of skirt chaser Jimmy Winter (Broderick) and bootlegger Billie Bendix (O'Hara) as Winter barrels toward his fourth marriage in Prohibition-era New York.With a new.

The end of the year is fast approaching, which means Certain People (I name no names) realize that they need to use up their vacation days or lose them.
Changing subjects entirely, today I took off from work, and most of what I did was bop into the city to do some book-shopping. (I had a vague idea of doing Xmas shopping as well, and even walked quickly through part of that agglomeration of festive selling huts in Union Square, but that portion of the day’s festivities was not successful.)
First I hit Forbidden Planet — pretty much as an aperitif — which I hadn’t been in for several years. (My mental map of Fp is from the days when they had back issues in the basement — yes, that long ago.) I got issues of two comics for the boys, and also two extremely different graphic novels:

Sylvain Gaboury Andre Bishop and John Lithgow at the book party.
In John Lithgow’s new memoir, “Drama: An Actor’s Education” (Harper), the 65-year-old actor describes the moment he decided to devote his life to his vocation.
It was December of 1964. Lithgow was a student at Harvard and active in the theater scene. One evening, he performed a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta: “Utopia, Limited; or, The Flowers of Progress.” The crowd loved it. “It was a moment when I...

Here's our weekly round-up of interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of in-development titles:
The Gambler – Last week's news that Martin Scorsese and (a rumored) Leonardo DiCaprio were reuniting once more for a remake of the 1974 film (not the Kenny Rogers TV movie) set off not only a frenzied search to find the film on DVD (it's not available yet), but it also sparked a mini-flame war with the film's original writer, James Toback, who is not involved in this updated version and probably won't be, now.
Inside Llewyn Davis – The Coen Brothers are goin' back in time to the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s with their latest project. StudioCanal will co-finance the film with Scott Rudin producing.
Wodehouse's War – Il Postino director Michael Radford is on board to helm this feature based on the true story of celebrated writer P.G. Wodehouse, who was accused of being a traitor to Britain during World War II.
The Great Wall – Love and Other Drugs helmer Ed Zwick's found his next fix with this US-China co-production from Legendary Pictures' new Asian branch, Legendary East. Zwick will direct and co-write the project with Marshall Herskovitz, which revolves around the creation of China's Great Wall.

Did Scrooge McDuck cause the financial crisis? The answer to that question depends on how you choose to read the subtext of DuckTales, a frothy Reagan-era cartoon based loosely on the work of comics maestro Carl Barks. You could argue that Scrooge McDuck is the very image of insatiable capitalism unbound. He owns every company in Duckburg, an unthinkable monopoly that could only exist in a world with a financial system managed by Ayn Rand zealots. (There is something of Fountainhead protagonist Howard Roarke in Scrooge’s recurrent mantra: “I made my money by being tougher than the toughies, and smarter than the smarties!

The second rialto revival of "Anything Goes" received rapturous reviews. Leading this remounting of the 1934 Cole Porter tuner is 2002 Tony champ Sutton Foster ("Thoroughly Modern Millie"). With gusto, she tackles the role of tough-talking Reno Sweeney -- a part first played by Ethel Merman -- and should be rewarded with her fifth Best Musical Actress bid. And this new edition will be a strong contender for Best Musical Revival against the second Broadway remounting of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" that features Daniel Radcliffe in his musical theater debut. In 1987, Lincoln Center staged the first revival of "Anything Goes." The original book -- by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, with revisions by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse -- was revamped by John Weidman and Timothy Crouse. Additional Porter tunes from other shows were added to the mix. All of these efforts were rewarded with 10 Tony nominations and the producti.

The Digital Dilettante cannot be bothered with such trivialities as ensuring that his copy of The Essential P.G. Wodehouse is available to him irrespective of whether he desires to peruse on his Kindle, iPhone or iPad. Similarly, what right does technology have to muddle the mind with folderol concerning which device houses my most important mental perambulations, recipes for the perfect Aviation or addresses for the finest haberdashers in the French Quarter? No, the Digital Dilettante requires a valet to keep such banal task far from thought. As always and forever, let others figure out how to do this, and...

The year has barely begun but I already have a candidate for 2011's Top 10 Shows list.
'Downton Abbey,' which debuts 9 Pm Et Sunday on PBS (check local listings), is a handsome period drama about an English upper-class family facing an inheritance crisis. At least that's the shorthand description for this terrific drama, which was a huge hit when it aired in the U.K.
No doubt 'Downton Abbey' did well is because it is, in part, an enthralling, lively soap opera about the secrets and heartaches that lurk in the elegant drawing rooms and the busy servants' wing of a very grand house. It also allows Dame Maggie Smith -- who is just one member of an exceptional cast -- to steal a number of comedic scenes as a doughty dowager countess straight out of a P.G. Wodehouse novel.

Actor Stephen Fry, best known for his lead role as Oscar Wilde as well as in geek circles for appearing in V For Vendetta and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, will play Mycroft in Sherlock Holmes 2. Stephen Fry previously played a British detective in Robert Altman's Gosford Park.
According to Bleeding Cool, Fry announced the casting on BBC radio this morning:
"I'm playing Mycroft in the sequel to the Sherlock Holmes film Guy Ritchie directed with Robert Downey Jr., and that sort of part is fun, but just once in a while to play a genuine all round sort of lead figure with complexity and tragedy and wit and all the sort of things that Oscar [Wilde] had was a once in a lifeftime thrill."
Those unfamilar with Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle's original books will note that Mycroft is Holmes' older brother by 7-years, and who's deductive powers...

For those of us unlucky enough not to belong to the English aristocracy (or live in the 1930s, for that matter), P.G. Wodehouse is our only saving grace. For the few hours it takes to read any of his novels, the world could not be more perfect. We have acres of lush countryside at our disposal, it's mostly sunny, the breakfast tables heave with bacon and kippers, and the real world is firmly locked out while we sing, drink and do, well, nothing of substance. Bliss.
Wodehouse's Jeeves novels are quintessentially English, and the fact that the television series is still being screened regularly and the average bookstore always has at least 17 volumes in stock speaks volumes about that great British sentimentality about a glorious, lost past. The stories follow a simple pattern and are virtually interchangeable: Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, a genial if somewhat dim-witted young aristocrat, and his valet...

Cisco's big announcement recently about how its new product was going to change the Internet for the better got the tech community very excited--not to mention the financial world, as the company's share price rose to a 52-week high. And then, yesterday, they launched the thing--a datacenter-level router that should give mobile Internet a bit more "poke." But for some time, Fast Company has known that, for Cisco's shares to go through the proverbial roof, would be somehow to clone its Cto, the absolutely brilliant Padmasree Warrior, and make her available in every home.
Ms. Warrior (who recently said on Twitter that if she'd had a choice in her own name, it would have been "The") truly is the future of the tech industry. Basically, she's the human face of all those big, swinging tech players who we all revere but somehow wonder just how normal they are. A working mother,...

I know most gays are all about The Golden Girls, but as an Atlanta native, my preferred quartet of '80s ladies was Julia, Suzanne, Mary Jo and Charlene, so I'm thrilled that Designing Women: The Complete First Season has finally made it to DVD.

While it takes most series a while to find their voices, I was surprised to learn that Julia Sugarbaker (the incomparable Dixie Carter) delivers the first of her famous weekly rants on the pilot, and that the "Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" speech that's so frequently screened at gay bars around the country happened in the second episode. So they were pretty much good...

Daniel Radcliffe was recently interviewed (http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-26/dirty-harry/full/) about his perspective on the recent American election and global politics as a whole; his religious viewpoints; the current Broadway run of Equus; Harry Potter; his friends and relationships, including that with Goblet of Fire costar Robert Pattinson; and much more. ---Quote--- *That should help you fit in here in New York. Are you ready for the run of Equus to end?* I’m going to be very sad. The Harry Potter films brought me a reputation. And doing Equus in London and now in New York has consolidated that and brought me a certain amount of respect. It will always be my first experience on the stage. *What will be your second? Will it be a musical? I saw you do your satirical dance number at the Gypsy of the Year contest with your chorus line of horses from Equus.
