“She makes these like needlework embroideries on set in the tedium of filming”, says MacFadyen, “but they are all: ‘You Are a Cunt’. And she gives them as presents. And it’s Dame Judi Dench. And she is doing this beautifully, intricate, ornate (work). You kind of see the work materializing as the shoot goes on. Like: ‘You Are a Fucking Shit.’ Knightley never received her embroidered cushion from Dench but remarks: “I love that! She gives this fantastic air. She just sits there and she embroiders and you think: ‘Oh, that’s so nice! It’s Judi Dench. It’s so quaint; she’s embroidering a cushion,’ and you go: ‘What are you embroidering?’ And (it says): ‘Fuck!’ Apparently she’s got hundreds of them just covered in swear words or rude sayings.”
so can i worship judi dench as a religion yet or something
i want to hang out with judi dench REALLY BAD.
I remember reading somewhere that she played D & D with Vin Diesel on the Chronicles of Riddick Set.

She did. It’s on the DVD. Because he WOOED her to get her in Chronicles. With flowers and showing up all ‘eager young man and you are so wonderful’ while she was doing a play. Old School Wooing. And then y’know, after he treated her like that? It was fun to game w/ him and amuse him w/ her swearwords.
Dame Judi FTW.

Lechoneras de Guavate
We finally rented a car and got out of San Juan this weekend. Since moving here in mid-August I’d only been out of Old San Juan a handful of times: once to pick up furniture bought on Craigslist, once to go to the mall, once to go to the movie, and twice to go to the airport to leave the island entirely on work trips.
After traveling around the south east coast we came up through the center, putting off lunch so we could go to one of the lechoneras, open-air road-side places that roast whole pigs on a spit. A section of PR-184 east of highway 52 has them dotting the road. People come from all over Puerto Rico to eat at these places. We just found one that was suitably busy but still had parking.
Here is Anthony Bourdain’s take on lechoneras. Next time we may try the one he visited, or at least one further in near it. Ours was good but probably too close to the highway to be authentic — perhaps the Stuckey’s of roast pig. It looks like you need to go about five kilometers off the highway to find the jackpot.

The shot with Randy’s Donuts is my favorite.
