Dave Fucking Eggers is doing celebrity interviews.
Three decades after the Monty Python team made the silliest film ever, it’s been reborn as a hit musical. And it’s even got the killer rabbit! As Spamalot prepares to open in London, Eric Idle tells Dave Eggers why this was something he had to get right.
But why was it something Dave had to do at all?
Somehow I always knew he’d end up in Hollywood.
It’s not actually an old film, but it should be. This looks so awesomely cool I’d join the Order of Dagon/eat a buffet prepared by Richard Upton Pickman to see it!
I suspect BoJo‘s not the only Oxford grad to have his portrait done Andy Warhol-style, but he’s probably the only one who had it done in this pose:

6 September. The Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Plymouth on this day in 1620. Gore Vidal one remarked that they left England ‘not because they were persecuted for their religious beliefs, but because they were forbidden to persecute others for their beliefs.’
Well that would explain a great deal.
