    It’s such a great film and I think people that complain about the modern music are fools. If it should be era appropriate, so should the English, right?

    But for to tellen yow of his array,
    His hors were goode, but he was nat gay.
    Of fustian he wered a gypon
    Al bismotered with his habergeon,
    For he was late ycome from his viage,
    And wente for to doon his pilgrymage.

    Obviously not. The English has been translated into a modern style so we can understand the intent, the vibes, and so has the music.

    Heath got a tattoo mid-shoot. It was a tiny circle with a circle around it and then a bigger circle around that, like a target. He said: “That’s me in the middle. That circle is the Earth, and the other circle is the universe.” I said: “You’ve put yourself right in the middle? I’ve never been that confident!” But he was that confident in the most joyful, winning way.

    I love this. No matter where we, as individuals, whether dust mote or mountain, we are at the center of the multiverse.

      This reminds me of the bit in Hitchhiker’s Guide where Zaphod unwittingly gets into the torture device that forces you to see exactly how small and short lived you are compared to the vastness of existence, and somehow comes out of it even more convinced that he’s the most important person in the universe.
