photo, taken by me, of a bunch of the cast of MASTER AND COMMANDER (2003, dir. Peter Weir) on stage at a screening and Q&A at the BFI IMAX in London. oceans are now battlefields!!

also half the cast showed up for a Q&A of which my fave quote was "a lot of people stop me - err, a lot of men stop me - and tell me it's their absolute favourite movie"

it was freakin great

the dad energy at MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD in IMAX this morning was off the charts and loved every minute of it

Hello from a friend on another continent who literally spent yesterday (Saturday) night doing this

in a good way to be clear, I absolutely believe both that it is important for major leaders to return to private citizenship, and that she and Clarke would be a killer metaphysical shop/surfboard carving power couple

truly cannot wait for Jacinda Ardern's next phase which will presumably involve selling crystals and scented soy wax candles in one of Sydney's fancier beach towns

you're laughing? orban is eating shit immediately after our loser vice president went there to try to help him in the biggest display of contagious loserdom in history, and you're laughing? yeah, me too

A thing I genuinely admire about England is that somehow I am still getting rained on

Projection of the logo for the Agatha Christmas Festival "Spring Gathering", a one-dayer in Torquay, where I am right now!

sitting around in a conference room for a day talking about silly murder books is really genuinely great

Not yet! I am always sceptical of stories around "those wily Nazis, truly formidable intellectual opponents" (that may not be the case but how the promo made it seem) but it's not not of interest

a thing that has been heartening me lately: reading the Nuremberg opening statements (paperback transcript, £5 at Oxfam). These people want to make us believe that the present power and present evil is all there will ever be. wrong!! there will be an After, and the After will have values and justice

I realize one is not supposed to say this in politics, but it is just clearly the case that 77,302,580 voters have blood on their hands for this, bear real, moral culpability for deciding that it was a good idea to put idiot Fox News Grandpa back in power for [reasons].

and the child of that whole situation doing a bunch of feel good murder against "generational wealth for me but not for thee". also part of why sibylla is so weird! Glen Powell was really very good & made a bunch of hard stuff look easy, I just think that character fundamentally is not blond

One thing that became increasingly evident however: to move this story to the US, the dad really shouldn't be white and the main character REALLY shouldn't be blond and blue-eyed! this is a story about anglo aristocracy losing their shit about one of their daughters, you know, with a, YOU know

really enjoyed HOW TO MAKE A KILLING! glen powell patrick bateman when

shared this (very cool and a bit moving!) story with my partner this morning, but neglected to give the context that Glover is himself Black, meaning partner was picturing a white astronaut in his car boogieing to Gil Scott-Heron all "yeah, whitey's on the moon! that's me!"

Ultimate- *ultimate* - Partridge final boss quote from Richard Keys in the Telegraph today. @luketurner.bsky.social @matcolegate.bsky.social @william-doyle.co.uk

"This book has 42-carat THRILLS in it. It fairly BURBLES. Ask the man at the counter what HE thinks of it! He's seen Janice Meredith faded to a mauve magenta. He's dead wise"

It's Akira Kurosawa's birthday, so in honour of that, as always, here is that picture of him visiting the set of Kindergarten Cop

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

watching the Oscars on British TV simply refuse to believe "Fred Asquith" is the name of a real person in 2026, sorry but that is the lyric tenor in My Fair Lady

a) this was clearly a joke but
b) if it weren't cmon guys it would obviously be Vangelis

an exchange from the shooting script from THE BIRDS (1963) where everyone is banging on about traffic on the 5 inamidst all the birds

man when Hitchcock moved the setting of THE BIRDS he really wanted you to know we were in California
