I realize that it’s ancient history for most of today’s journalists, but they better start reading up on the Vietnam War pretty damn fast.
Just went to a used bookstore that has 350,000 books and it will surprise no one to learn that 175,000 of them were military history
Yes yes yes yes yes

45 years ago today, the final episode of The Muppet Show (1976-1981) aired. It returned as a special last month on Disney+ to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary. #80s #80sTV #TheMuppetShow #itstimetoplaythemusic
Good Grief’s first show in Liverpool (back in our spiritual home, Outpost) since - I think - May last year.
I never knew Marc was a Marvel fan! Him and me both. #MarcBolan #StanLee
"Idlers" mentioned here with a "you know who you are" lack of specificity.
Interesting that the UK and US editions of Colm Tóibín's new book, The News from Dublin, use slightly different pictures of the same boy selling newspapers on the same day.
I've personally met all kinds of talking animals on the internet!

51st film on my German cinema watchlist is Volker Schlöndorff's MORD UND TOTSCHLAG aka A DEGREE OF MURDER (1967). Anita Pallenberg smoulders in a proto counterculture tale of a woman who enlists the help of two men to get rid of the body of the boyfriend she has shot.

Star Trek: TOS was cancelled after 3 seasons, but I always felt it played out its 5-year mission courtesy of the animated series, which ran 2 years & had the same core cast and some of the same writers and got even more philosophical. We have just 2 copies of the Blu-ray. mzs.press/Star-Trek-An...

Damn, wrong pic. Here it is.
Hit me with your last 4 on @letterboxd.social Mine include 2 rewatches, 2 new to me films. YELLOW LETTERS is excellent. SEA WOLVES is silly but impossible to totally dislike for anyone, like me, who was steeped in the second and third rate British popular culture dumped on Australia in the 70s & 80s
CLASSE TOUS RISQUES (Claude Sautet, 1960).
A rewatch of one of my all-time favourite noirs - a superb example of the Frenchman-in-a-tench-coat genre. #FilmSky
Always funny when someone likes a review you've written on Letterboxd that you can't remember writing.
What a film!

“It takes facts to make a word like ‘enemy’ real.”
Great little 1951 revisionist western currently streaming on C4. Van Heflin is terrific as Army Scout Jim Bridger and the Technicolor looks gorgeous.
Yesterday’s Word Count = 889
TAGGART (1983)
Is this not a banging title song – listen to the end credits….
