Tragic news about Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. I'm sure there's loads of stories, similar to this, for people to tell. RIP

lan Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker, published 70 years ago in April 1955, features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist & rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi.
Such a silly idea!

Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday.
The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal.
"My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

Film Stories: The 500th Episode Celebration β€’ Words β€’ Kings Place Join us for a special evening as we celebrate the 500th episode of the Film Stories with Simon Brew.

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.

I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.

Thank you.

If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

Just to say that teachers do an incredibly difficult job, with all the right intentions, and can be the defining influence on a young person's life. They are the exact opposite of poisoners because good teaching provides the antidote to so many dangers

Reform is stuck to the UK media

Listen to what they are telling you

Reform is the party of the billionaires, they will make the richest even richer, and you are the ones who will be punished

Retirement, Healthcare, Benefits

They will all go, so they can be trillionaires

Farage returns from Washington, where he whipped up the Trumpist right to attack his own country, comparing it to "North Korea."
And where he fretted that UK policies might harm American businesses.
A strange kind of 'patriotism.'
