It started off with a good time travel thriller premise but then went way too dark and 'serious'. Shame. I like his other films.

Totally agree. Started ok but then went completely off the rails. Shouldn't have even been made.

And here's an amazing opportunity to read a brilliantly funny script about the making of a British cult classic.
And also an amazing opportunity to tell me to sod off.

We are away again from the 13th Oct to the 20th if you want to stay in sunny Hebden again.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

I recall my dad installed our aerial in the loft when we moved into our brand new builds house in 1975.

That sounds more like a CSE grade. O levels (GCE) had letter, CSEs had numbers, 1 being highest, so an 'A'. But CSEs were supposed to be easier. Hence my CSE in German, which I was crap at.

The deliberate and relentless killing of Palestinian journalists is sickening beyond words β€” and is a desperate attempt to silence the truth about Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity.

Shame on all those who empowered Israel to murder with impunity.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

You're much more likely to become destitute or a displaced refugee than you are a millionaire, so stop dreaming about your personal gain and start acting in the interests of a fair and equal society, devoid of kings and tyrants.

It is. But all you need to do is press 'I have a TV licence' to access the service. You should have to put your licence number in in my opinion.

And only people with a TV licence should be able to access iPlayer.

Shame the film is such a travesty, despite an amazing cast.

Wow.

In under 24 hours, 200,000 people have signed up to build a real alternative to poverty, inequality and war.

But did you know that JD, after being asked by RCA, covered a Northern Soul hit, "Keep On Keeping On"?
It didn't work out but they used elements from it when writing "Interzone".

Tell the truth. You just hate Northerners! This is how we all move through our dreary, mundane, wet lives.

Shame on the BBC for bowing to political pressure.
What next? Dubbing Kneecap's performance with actors' voices?

Just found out my script has made it into the top 5% of 1,400 entries for the Grass Routes screenwriting competition. Huge thanks to Stephen Graham, Hannah Walters, and the whole teamβ€”this one means a lot!

It isn't based on silent movies. Rather it's based on the serials that ran at cinemas - Buck Rogers Flash Gordon, Rocket man etc. They are all soundies.
