Scottish isn’t he?

Not seen it this century. I think it was the first time I saw Goldblum and I KNOW it was the first time I saw Pfeiffer….wow!
I loved it then and I think I still would.

A true classic. I’d say his finest solo album.

A true classic.

I’m Tempted despite having it on DVDs at home. Plus Night Moves, The Parallax View, The Long Good Friday, Bladerunner, The Godfather, Sorceror, Dog Day Afternoon and a few others are on soon……which are also tempting….despite having them etc.

The last film I saw at a cinema. Loved it.

Thank you to everyone who's bought #1996book over the last 24 hours ahead of full launch tomorrow. Very pleasing. It really is another triumph of candour and hope from Tony Adams. No 1 bestseller in some football categories and Hot New Release, no less.

A True Classic.

A ★★★★½ review of The Parallax View (1974) Austin Tucker: "Now I don't know what you want but if it's money, I'll give you $10,000 to keep me out of it. You don't mention my name, you don't come looking for me. All I want is to stay out of it....

"...It warns us that getting to the facts of any great matters of state, at the truth, is nigh on an impossibility with the forces in place to keep it locked away and hidden..."

Trump can only be removed under the 25th Amendment with the actions of this Republican vice president, this Republican cabinet, and this Republican-controlled Congress.

So, if you're asking what Democrats are doing today, I'm not sure you understand how this all works.

From Classic Noir to Neo-Noir: 1965 to 1969 The transition from classic Film Noir to the more self-referential and self-conscious Neo-noir occurred during the mid 1960s, the shift marked by the end of the Motion Picture Production Code in 1967,...

My attempt at marking out the timeline during the mid to late 1960s when Film Noir evolved and reshaped itself into Neo-noir ... What did I miss?

John Schlesinger’s 1985 spy thriller ‘The Falcon and the Snowman’ boasts fine performances from Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn, and a refreshingly cynical view of the American intelligence apparatus.

Cmon Boro stop mucking about down there ferchrissakes. We need two clubs up here chipping away at the deluded world of geordie arrogance. It’s getting boring doing it on our own.

The Profession That Does Not Exist | Baffler Symposium A partial history of the hidden labor that makes possible the poems, stories, essays, and books you read.

This week @thebaffler.com asks whether you can still make it financially today as a writer—citing our Authors Guild income survey.

(The answer is yes… but at what cost??)

This morning, NASA sent up a message recorded by Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell before his death: “Hello, Artemis II! This is Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell. Welcome to my old neighborhood! When Frank Borman, Bill Anders, and I orbited the Moon on Apollo 8, we got humanity’s first up-close look at the Moon and got a view of the home planet that inspired and united people around the world. I’m proud to pass that torch on to you — as you swing around the Moon and lay the groundwork for missions to Mars … for the benefit of all. It’s a historic day, and I know how busy you’ll be. But don’t forget to enjoy the view. So, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy, and all the great teams supporting you – good luck and Godspeed from all of us here on the good Earth.” Jim Lovell Jim Lovell Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13 Astronaut
