Personally speaking, that fall from a massive railway viaduct into 3 feet of water after being shot in Skyfall would be enough to kill him, in my opinion.

Well how about a tank , I think it qualifies as a vehicle, though it too would be difficult to parallel park?

Just noticed The Long Memory is on Talking Pictures TV this afternoon.

Today's solemn proceedings at Headingley Cenotaph.
#RemembranceDay

...and so endeth another episode of the long continuous saga of "It's Grim Up North"

See you all next week

Whoever made wallpaper in the 50s and 60s must have made a fair bit of money.

#thefilmcrowd

Well that telephone conversation went okay.

#thefilmcrowd

Viagra hadn't been invented then, so men just went and killed time down the pub.

#thefilmcrowd

Not sure I'd describe Manchester as hell, despite its problems.

#thefilmcrowd

Evening everyone, starting soon.

I particularly like the 2nd symphony, I just think it sounds like (as in song without words), a soundtrack without a film. I can just imagine Richard Burton and Ava Gardner sailing off into the sunset as the closing bars emerge.

Is this going to be performed live in concert at some point, possibly at the @bridgewaterhall.bsky.social with the BBC Philharmonic?

If so, I wouldn't mind attending it.

Seems to like Bruckner too, I detected a strong hint of that in his score to Enigma, played I think on the movie by the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.

That's not quite correct what was said there. The plough/big-dipper IS part of the constellation of Ursa Major, it's not just an asterism. Here, in a big light polluted city, is generally all you really see of it.

I had 3 of those excellent sets on vinyl LP. The 39 - 48 was very good, some of those symphonies weren't widely played at that time.

However, years later, I went to see the Philharmonia Hungarica live in concert and was a little disappointed.

This Schnittke isn't bad, better than the Berio that was on earlier.

I think Starmer's adopting the policy of ignoring him, which would be my advice. M*sk thrives on notoriety, best thing to do is to deny him of his craving for publicity.

Her and that Rupert thing make En**h P**ell seem like a reasonably moderate person with their constant unrelenting stream of racist nonsense.

Best of luck with your future ventures Matthew, it's always been one of my goto choices for Saturday afternoons over the last 12 years or so. Will look forward to this afternoon's presentation whilst constructing my forthcoming U3A talk on 21st-century film scores.

I'm not sure if anyone else had this, but I kept being bombarded by the same nicotine product advert every 15 minutes or so. It was a bit of a nuisance and meant I was several minutes behind by the end.🙁

#thefilmcrowd

Well, Diana's not happy.

#thefilmcrowd

Is anyone here?

Just a few woodwind players that's all.

#thefilmcrowd

Bruckner's 7th symphony in Senso.

Good to see Ian Bannen in action.

#thefilmcrowd

History isn't their strong point Otto, neither is English, or Physics, or Economics etc

Bit of a Liebestod ending there.

#thefilmcrowd

Why didn't they just call it "Dracula has returned with a whip" and have done with it?

#thefilmcrowd

Shades of The Dream of Olwen there.

#thefilmcrowd

I've just switched from the youtube on my tv to the archive version on my laptop as I've just hit a massive advert bank.

#thefilmcrowd

Where's James Bernard when you need him.
