New Bergerac looks like it’s gone a bit far with how small Jersey is

excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time. 
     When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work.
     If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

Queer (Original Score) Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Β· Album Β· 2024 Β· 16 songs

Queer's score won't get as much airtime or love as Challengers - but it is just as elegantly produced and evocative as one would expect from Reznor/Ross.

It’s so so gorgeous. Pure Love has to be one of the biggest earworm motifs of the year.

I still think the end of this one is so bold, especially to do it in your second story. There really is a sense this show is operating in a morally greyer space than its contemporaries.

Not a horror but utterly horrific. Couldn’t walk into my local video store as a kid for fear of seeing this monstrosity.

Signed up for the London talk but sadly had a last minute clash that meant I couldn’t come, so I would love an online one.

Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on Michael Powell’s β€˜Bluebeard’s Castle’ all these years. The way it distills lust, terror and passion into blazing primary colours is astonishing. And it’s so playful with form; the treasure room overlaid on BB’s face like veins is a tremendous bit of storytelling.

I'm still in the thrall of the BBC's Powell & Pressburger double-bill from last Saturday afternoon. Beautiful prints of The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp and I Know Where I'm Going!

Was lucky enough to see β€˜I Know Where I’m Going’ at the BFI and β€˜Black Narcissus’ on a nitrate print last year when they did their tribute to them. Loving the way the celebration of the Archers hasn’t let up since that season.

Fave film (well TV) to introduce me: Penda’s Fen, maybe the most perfect marriage of a screenwriter and director who are stylistic opposites, assembling something remarkable between their difference. As a study of cultural and sexual identity, it remains among the best; literate and furious. #movies

Saw that short mute film trims from From Russia With Love/Goldfinger got a showing at a missing film event recently. Included shots of Charles Gray’s screen test for Auric Goldfinger, a proto gold paint effect + FRWL tests. Don’t know how well known the find is but I’ll take anything at the moment!
