And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.

So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:

Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:

And it’s all just delightful.

But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.

As Prince Fucking Humperdink.

Here ya go

Anyway, we should all watch this and then send some money to World Central Kitchen (which was the charity this was originally done for and they’re a good one).

I recommend every young person in the EU and beyond to go fill out this questionnaire, have your say on YOUR future and then share it with your friends.

The EU programs also influence countries outside of the EU (think of the many exchange programs through which the EU gives scholarships to students from other continents) so this might influence YOUR future even if you are not a EU citizen!

The deadline is July 16th, 2026!

The full moon shines, it’s full of delicious juice; you buy a purse, the dance is nice. The door opens And swings closed so quickly you don’t notice.

The sun comes out, you have swift breakfasts with your husband, who is still thin; you wash the dishes, you love your children, you read a book, you go to the movies. It rains moderately. 

The door swings open, you look in: why does this keep happening now? Is there a secret? The door swings closed. 

The snow falls, you clear the walk while breathing heavily; it’s not as easy as once. Your children telephone sometimes. The roof needs fixing. You keep yourself busy. The spring arrives.

The door swings open: it’s dark in there, with many steps going down. But what is that shining? Is it water? The door swings closed. The dog has died. This happened before. You got another; not this time though. Where is your husband? You gave up the garden. It became too much. At night there are blankets; nonetheless you are wakeful.

and here it is afterwards:

Another before and after example:
