Saw this a few days ago and his line about curly hair got me to book a keratin treatment
With the late, great Oliver Reed currently wowing 2026 audiences all over again with his incredible performance in the restored version of Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’, I wanted to share this amazing clip of him from 1985.
The rather low-res clip comes from ‘In at the Deep End’, a BBC series in which presenter Paul Heiney tries his hands at a profession he had zero experience in. For this episode, Heiney was preparing for an acting role opposite Michael Caine in ‘Water’ and went to Oliver Reed for some pointers on how to play a villain.
Please enjoy what happens next.

"In the theater, you must project and say 'D'OH!'... but in film you must be more restrained and say 'd'oh.'"
the biggest lesson of ken russell’s the devils (1971) is that oliver reed with hair is a top 10 hottest man who ever lived but bald oliver reed looks like if homer simpson came to life

The Devils is one of the best movies about how fascism creeps in even when everyone can see the facade for what it is

As the Girls leviathan rises from the deep, the old bloggers are attached like barnacles.
In 2017, Jia Tolentino lifted a series of restrictions on her life. She started putting half-and-half in her coffee instead of drinking it black. She started using emoji instead of forcing herself to communicate in words. And, finally, she watched Lena Dunham’s television show “Girls,” which had premièred on HBO 5 years earlier, in 2012.
When “Girls” was on television, some critics lost the ability to distinguish it from real life. Many treated the show as though realism were its ultimate goal. “I don’t need to feel either disturbed by or painfully grateful for seeing women my age rendered in full-blooming imperfection,” Tolentino counters. “Nothing is a direct reflection, other than a mirror: not a friend, not a story, not an auteur, and definitely not a television show.” Read her reflection on “Girls," which Dunham recently announced would see a five-episode revival: newyorker.com/culture/jia-to…

it’s cool this guy hated the ussr because he was a hardline Russian nationalist ultra Christian. None of the stuff he wrote about in Gulag Archipelago actually happened and took him out of the country and told him to get lost instead of kill him. He also LOVED Putin lol

When people talk about what John Lennon would have been like if he had lived, they always say that he would have been a republican (unlikely), but they never say whether or not he would have been rapping (absolutely)
