You guys wanna see a dead body?

While torturing a minor celebrity each year to raise sponsorship for Children in Need is quite effective. Wouldn't it be even better and more lucrative to torture a couple of billionaires for their online banking details?

They could have shown the whole speech and made him look really bad.

Weird that Tesla shareholders are trying to trigger the proletariat revolution.

A rat once crossed my path round the back of Allied Carpets in Telford. I swear the little rascal was carrying a slice of pizza over one shoulder like a pepperoni dorsal fin.

Some good news at last.

RIP Adam Greenberg
He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:

A massive anthropomorphized sheet metal press, forcing steel into shape under enormous, wrought hands

A white-hot metal billet being picked up by a hook-billed lift with threatening eyes. The covers for the heat sinks are flat, impassive salamanders with distorted, contented, human faces.

A huge, horse-like bucket with a rolling human eye and scowling mouth offloads sparking hot molten metal into a mold in a long line of other molds, all of which have cartoonish human faces and human feet. They appear afraid and pained in anticipation, and the mold being poured into cries out

Molten metal being poured down a human-shaped funnel’s back into a furnace with a gaping mouth human and staring eyes. The bucket pouring the metal is devised like a smiling man’s head, with hands gripping and twisting its ears to let the molten cargo pour down its nose.

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh.

These illustrations are from “Machinalia.”

Always a sure sign that I need to trim my nails.

As most of Andrew's titles go, Vice Admiral seems fairly accurate.

Weekend War Movie Fun! We're watching The Battle of Algiers, a film that manages to be both passionate and neutral, showing both sides of an insurgency without sugar-coating either.

Or a real racist.

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

I think they should either cancel Strictly altogether or open it up to civilian contestants. 90% of the 'celebrities' are complete unknowns anyway.

Marian Nixon by Jack Freulich, late 1920’s. #botd

I'm currently selling an Atari ST copy of this on eBay.

How do we know the guys who knocked off the Louvre weren't taking it to train their algorithm? It's not theft then, is it? Democratise art!

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.
