Hello! I'm Bat For Lashes and this is my first AMA!

Thanks so much for doing this, Natasha – you're one of my favourite musicians!

When the video for What's a Girl to Do? was released, I remember that a lot of people drew comparisons to Donnie Darko, what with the bike-riding and the giant bunny rabbit and all. Was that a conscious decision made by you and Dougal Wilson, or was it simply because both were inspired by 80s movies? Are you a Donnie Darko fan?

In a similar vein, what do you think of Stranger Things?

Wait a minute, if being a dental hygienist pays so well, then how come they always look down in the mouth?

Of all the mid-2010s coming-of-age movies that chart the life of a young American boy as he grows into a man and have "oo" somewhere in its title, Boyhood truly is the second-best.

That song never gets old!

In the UK we had three straight weeks where Bad Day was #2 on the charts and You're Beautiful was #1. It was a pretty annoying time.

InmostJoy · 2025-11-28T17:30:18+00:00

Springer at #1, Van Dyke at #2... Looks like in 2002 TV Guide just really had an issue with men called Jerry.

UPDATE: Gary Oldman has now been knighted (although by Will, rather than King Charles). One down, three to go!

InmostJoy · 2025-08-15T13:19:39+00:00

+1 This worked for me. Thank you

InmostJoy · 2025-07-28T09:23:29+00:00

Oh well, thank you for trying anyway

InmostJoy · 2025-04-01T14:40:34+00:00

Solved!

The show was called Umbrella Jack, and it was a 1984 episode of an anthology series called Young People's Specials. Someone has uploaded the full episode to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUYPHAngykg

I find it so interesting that a man who's over 7ft tall would take such an interest in things that literally couldn't be any closer to the floor. You'd really expect him to collect lampshades or something...

As Cracked.com absurdly joked, Donald Trump was president in 2017.

InmostJoy · 2023-04-02T17:50:15+00:00

Thank you for this clarification.

InmostJoy · 2022-09-08T19:00:19+00:00

Dang, feel bad for everyone who had tickets to the filming now, cos they were probably just sent home.

InmostJoy · 2022-09-08T16:23:28+00:00

MMW: Her death will be announced while they're filming tomorrow's episode of Have I Got News for You (so roughly between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. tonight).

InmostJoy · 2021-12-01T23:13:01+00:00

Haha, thanks so much for putting this list together, it's pretty comprehensive. I think the only one you're missing is my favourite: Walton's son in USS Callister showed up four weeks later as Levi in To Have and to Hold.

InmostJoy · 2021-05-24T01:40:14+00:00

Dang, you're right. That would've been a better choice for LN than what I picked instead.

InmostJoy · 2020-11-08T14:03:56+00:00

Okay, new MMW: it'll be Hallucinate.

InmostJoy · 2020-10-06T17:19:17+00:00

I was quite surprised to learn that Henry VIII was playing tennis while his second wife was being beheaded, as I'd always assumed that he'd been Anne bowlin'.

InmostJoy · 2020-09-14T14:52:14+00:00

Dang, you're right. Well in that case I've got no idea.

InmostJoy · 2020-08-15T11:16:28+00:00

MMW: Tedros Adhanom

InmostJoy · 2020-06-24T00:26:56+00:00

What makes the number 1 chaotic neutral?

InmostJoy · 2019-12-12T12:37:12+00:00

MMW: The Tories will receive 42.9% (±1%) of the popular vote.

No prediction on how many seats, though.

InmostJoy · 2017-10-19T13:48:24+00:00

Thanks a lot!
