Today in things that make my day: Colin Firth and Ben Barnes act out the scene from Eddie Izzard’s bit about British film on the set of a movie (I believe Easy Virtue).

If you’re an Izzard fan this is a must-watch.

“I’m always in here. Moving books slightly to the left.”

Just brilliant!

‘What is it Sebastian? I’m arranging matches.’

Just beautiful.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

this actually viscerally makes me happy

like in the heart-clutching, anglophilic fangirling kind of way

I cackled! Oh, my gosh! I adore Eddie Izzard (and Colin Firth for that matter), and this tickled me beyond belief! YES! \o/

““In one recent study, more than 100 university psychologists were asked to rate the CVs of Dr. Karen Miller or Dr. Brian Miller, fictitious applicants for an academic tenure-track job. The CVs were identical, apart from the name. Yet strangely, the male Dr. Miller was perceived (by both male and female reviewers) to have better research, teaching, and service experience than the luckless female Dr. Miller. Overall, about three-quarters of the psychologists thought that Dr. Brian was hirable, while only just under half had the same confidence in Dr. Karen. The same researchers also sent out applications for the position of tenured professor, again identical but for the male and female name at the top. This time, the application was so strong that most of the raters thought that tenure was deserved, regardless of sex. However, the endorsement of Karen’s application was four times more likely to be accompanied by cautionary caveats scrawled in the margins of the questionnaire: such as, ‘I would need to see evidence that she had gotten these grants and publications on her own’ and ‘We would have to see her job talk.’””

You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he…
