Books. Movies. Books about movies. Movies about anything. He/him. Seem to be drawn mostly to crime (film noir, Krimi, all kinds of capers) and classic comedy. Developing a bit of a James Mason fixation.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Maybe I just have a big ego (no maybe about it), but when I’m in various writing applications and am inundated with buttons that beg to let some uninvited AI parasite to “Write” “Revise” “Polish,” my only thought is: You wish you could do this as well as I do.
It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.
Another big part of it: large sections of the media behaving as if the right didn’t suffer a comprehensive defeat.
This is entertaining and excruciating and looks like the tip of an iceberg that keeps popping up. You give people a lazy tool and damn right they’re going to lazily deploy it, in school, in court, everywhere.
The Most Dangerous Game is a cracking end to the day.

Oh this is fantastic. Elegantly brutal and funny. Cor.
He slaughtered dozens of their children, then accused them of slaughtering their own children, then admitted that, hey, he was just popping off, who knows really.
I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.
Here's a rare treat. A behind the scenes documentary about the making of The Offence, with director Sidney Lumet taking Sean Connery through his paces in rehearsal. Absolutely fascinating

A better day on the streets of Glasgow: Neil Young busking at Central Station in 1976.

Wow. A real blast from the past/future. You’d go to a convention back then and they would just play it over and over. And I’ve not seen it now for more than 40 years.
Also, in case you've never seen it: HARDWARE WARS (1978), the original STAR WARS 16mm parody. This was a Big Deal back then ie pre-AIRPLANE!, SPACEBALLS, SCARY MOVIE-type spoofs.
Waiter, I ordered medium rare Psychology. This is barely cooked.
I'm not one to regularly share GFM things, but my pal Holly, one of my compadres from the counselling training, lost her business yesterday in the Union St fire - she'd only just moved into the building a couple of months ago.

holy shit
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
This is really heartbreaking. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the fire in Glasgow. You know the drill. Donate. Boost. Help however you can. Let’s help turn dreams that were burned to ash back into dreams that are coming true.
My favourite old photo of Glasgow city centre - the Odeon where I saw all of these films, and Star Wars before them. And the great Union Street signage, now gone.
Every sad event has its own weight, but when this is how we feel about losing a building, can only imagine how destabilising and frightening it is to see your city under deadly bombardment. How do you not just lose your mind with grief and shock?
We've also lost some political heritage. That building contained the Subway shop that Iain Gray ran into when Sean Clerkin hounded him through Central Station in 2014.
Oh, god. Feeling nostalgia for a time when everything was just low-key crazy and not full-on.
Not been a great day for the city, has it, what with one thing and another?
Damn. We could have taken that mob.
File it away in the warehouse of cup exits.
Would have liked to go out to a better team, but oh well. Next year
The giant electronic advert on top of the station on Union St has collapsed through the building. It’s going to be pretty catastrophic.
