Kit Harington recalls getting wiped away by Bella Ramsey in Game of Thrones

Bella Ramsey may best be known for playing Ellie on The Last of Us, but Game of Thrones fans remember the young performer's breakout role as Lyanna Mormont. Ramsey brought a lot of screen presence to the part despite being only 11-years-old, and Kit Harington has a vivid memory about being upstaged by his younger co-star when Lyanna and his character, Jon Snow, shared a scene in the later seasons of the show.
Ramsey and Harington were featured together in a new issue of Interview Magazine where they spoke about their shared time together on HBO's fantasy series. In retrospect, Ramsey expressed remorse over showing up Harington by mouthing his own lines to him when he appeared to forget them during their scene.

'I remember not feeling like a child, but now I see 11-year-olds and realize how tiny they are, so it's weird to me that I was that size and that young, because I didn't feel that tiny,' recounted Ramsey. 'I don't know whether you remember this, but I remember it quite vividly and have some remorse for it now, but during [our introduction] scene I was mouthing your lines to you. Now I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, how awful.' But at the time it came from a very innocent place of being like, 'Kit's struggling with his line and I know it, so let me just mouth it to him.''
For his part, Harington doesn't hold a grudge against Ramsey for doing that. But he keenly recalled feeling like he needed to match the talent of his young co-star.
'It wasn't [annoying] at all,' said Harington. 'If anything I was like, 'Oh god, I've got to up my game. I came here not really being comfortable enough with my lines, in the arrogance of however old I was, thinking I'm just opposite some child. And then that child actor is wiping me off the screen.' Not that it's a competition, but you're like, 'Oh, I've got a bit too comfortable in my Jon Snow-ness.''
Thanks to the success of The Last of Us, Ramsey now has the benefit of headlining a huge hit on HBO just as Harington did for the better part of the decade. And the future still looks bright for the young star.

55 Thoughts I Had While Watching ‘The Gilded Age' Season 3 Premiere

All right, I confess; I didn't keep up religiously with Season 2 of The Gilded Age—maybe because I was getting my Cynthia Nixon fix from And Just Like That… and my Carrie Coon fix from The White Lotus (and my Christine Baranski fix from obsessively rewatching Mamma Mia!, but I digress). Now, though, the HBO show is back for its third season, and I am absolutely locked in, even if I'm having a little trouble remembering some of the characters' names and/or general deals. Let's dive in, shall we? Horse-drawn carriages! Mr. Russell's beard is so on-point. Ah, the picturesque majesty of snow in New York, before it turns to slush and gets completely disgusting. Would be nice right about now! 'We've had some changes.' I'll say! Time for Cynthia Nixon's temperance meeting! Yes, Christine Baranski! Call it 'absurd'! Get her ass! Christine and Cynthia are really showcasing the range of bangs types here (straight vs. curly). Oh, hell yeah, 'Mr. Sargent' is coming by to paint! This is like when they casually reference Picasso in Titanic. Taissa Farmiga's little fur capelet is fabulous. No offense, The Gilded Age props/set design team, but this snow looks fake as hell. There's our girl Louisa Jacobson! In powder blue, no less! New York used to be so pretty before we, as a culture, ruined it. Miners' strike? There is power in a union, baby! 'I prefer to pick them off one by one.' Likely thing for a union-busting boss to say! It's weird that some people on this show are doing Little Period Voices and some aren't. Obsessed with Mr. Sargent's naughty little smock. Portrait of Madame X shoutout! One of the all-time art-historical babes! Yay, Denée Benton's novel is getting published! I need a supercut of just Cynthia and Christine fighting. 'Those who partake in alcohol are destined to the fury of hell.' Welp! God, Louisa's looking blonde as hell. OMG, this corset top over a turtleneck? Go off, Gladys. Ugh, Aurora, I hate your husband. You should, too! She's exactly right in not granting him a divorce, IMO. Was the word 'shady' being used in this context back then? 'I never thought I would be glad to have no children.' It happens! 'If you want to marry me and I want to marry you, we're already engaged.' Well, not exactly, bro. Where's the ring? Hot lemon and honey sounds so good right now. Cynthia dropping the hammer on her lodger! I love it. LMAO at Christine saying that the 'Female Normal and High School' sounds like a mistranslation. Aw, I love this brother-sister chat moment. Kind of weird that it's in Gladys's bed, but I guess they didn't have that many places to hang out? In…their mansion? I'm obsessed with the various and sundry robes of The Gilded Age. See, Denée and Louisa hanging out in a bedroom I can totally get behind. (Not in a gay way! Just in a gal-pals-at-a-sleepover way!) Oh no, someone's snitching on Gladys! 'In this house, nothing is accepted that isn't proposed by Mrs. Russell.' Tea. These boots Adelheid is lacing are sort of…gorgeous? Man, talk about laying down the law. 'In America, you don't have to live like your parents lived.' In theory, sure. Never has a man looked so sad in a bowler hat. Oh no, Denée definitely isn't feeling better! Was consumption still a thing during this time period? Man, I really should have studied for, like, any of my history classes throughout my 16 years of education. Jesus, the doctor's too racist to treat Denée? Even with all of these women's money? 'What I feel for Billy is real.' Sure. 'I'm not a girl! Not anymore! When will you see that?' What an ideal time for a Britney needle drop. Damn, Carrie calling Billy a 'worthless nonentity' goes crazy hard. I need to interview the horse actors on this show. And with that…it's a wrap on Episode 1 of Season 3! Welcome back, my little women!

How to watch the documentary 'Enigma' online from anywhere

"Enigma" gets to the big questions at the heart of current debates about transgender identity and rights. It does this through the prism of iconic pioneers April Ashley, Amanda Lear and others and their point of contact at Le Carrousel, an underground Parisian nightclub where trans women enjoyed a safe space to express themselves in the 1950s, before bringing the story up-to-date today. Here's how you can watch "Enigma" online around the world and from anywhere with a VPN. "Enigma" premieres on Tuesday, June 24 at 9 p.m. ET/ PT on HBO and will also be available to stream at the same time on Max.• U.S. — HBO/Max/Max on Prime Video• CAN — Crave• AUS — Max• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free With archival TV interviews and footage, plus home movies, the lives and experiences of Ashley (Vogue model who went through very public divorce from minor member of aristocracy in the late 1960s) and Lear (the so-called 'White queen of Disco' in the 70s and early 80s) - in the main - are used as an avatar to show how far transgender politics has come. Not without much personal pain and suffering, Ashley emerged as a 21st century advocate for the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and was honored as a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2012. Ashley died in 2021 but Lear continues to inspire as a performer and, as the publicity for the film puts it, "Define her own legacy." The two women had a strong relationship when they first met at La Carrousel but later fell out. There stories remain intertwined however. Read on and discover how you can watch "Enigma" online with all the streaming details you need below. "Enigma" premieres on Tuesday, June 24 at 9 p.m. ET/ PT on HBO and will be available to stream at the same time on Max. Max prices start at $9.99/month if you don't mind ads, going to $16.99/month for ad-free and $20.99/month if you want the option to watch content on up to four devices and in 4K. For even better value, you can pay for a whole year upfront and effectively get 12 months for the price of 10 on any of its tiers. HBO can also be added to OTT streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video. Traveling outside the States? You'll need to use a VPN to unblock Max when abroad.

Arthur Corbett (later 3rd Baron Rowallan), heir of Lord Rowallan, in 1963 but the marriage soon deteriorated. A messy legal battle after Ashley had an affair saw her lawyers demanding maintenance payments in 1966 and Corbett responding a year later by filing suit to have the marriage annulled on the grounds that Ashley was male. It was granted in 1970 even though he had known about her history when they married. No, not right now. Those looking to watch "Enigma" will have to go Max (US & Aus) or Crave (Can). We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services.

John Oliver Commissions Real Artist to Carve AI Slop Image as ‘Petty' Revenge

John Oliver is no big fan of AI creations — at least, not in a way that goes beyond amused horror — so, on Sunday night's episode of 'Last Week Tonight,' he took his 'petty' revenge on the machines. The HBO host centered his main story on the use of AI programs, conceding that mastering them has proven financially lucrative for a handful of creators and just about all of the businesses that incentivize them. But he also pointed out the many flaws of AI, including the fact that, more often than not, it is simply stealing the work of real creators. 'And look, I'm not saying some of this stuff isn't fun to watch. What I am saying is some of it's potentially very dangerous, and even when it isn't, the technology that makes it possible only works because it trains on the work of actual artists,' he explained. 'So any enjoyment you may get from weird, funny AI slop tends to be undercut when you know that someone's hard work was stolen in order to create it.' The host zeroed in on one creator in particular, a wood carver named Michael Jones. Jones uses a chainsaw to create massive, life-like carvings of various creatures, and an image of his work turned into a trend of AI-generated images of people posing next to more carvings, claiming they made them themselves. So, as the show ended, Oliver gave Jones a chance to not only show off his abilities, but also do the same thing to AI that AI did to him. 'I don't have a big fix for all of this, or indeed, any of it. What I do have, though is a petty way to respond,' Oliver said. 'Because perhaps one small way to get back at all the AI slop ripping off artists would be to create real art by ripping off AI slop. So please come with me.' At that, he stood from his desk and took the camera over to a real-life wood carving of an AI-generated image — in this case, a weirdly buff man made out of cabbage, the AI version of which simply tickled Oliver — and Jones standing next to it. 'Look at the details there! This thing is an absolute masterpiece!' Oliver crowed. 'And seeing this, does it make you want to thank the real artists who made it? Well, I've got some great news for you. You can do that because we flew him here too. Michael is here!' 'What a fun way to celebrate the destruction of our shared objective reality!' Oliver added as the show wrapped up. 'We are f–ked!' You can watch the full segment from 'Last Week Tonight' in the video above.
