Great film.

Moonstruck

Extremely funny that the state just had people pay to build their own panopticon

One of Peter Cushing's best performances - a terrific crime movie spin on A Christmas Carol.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

I'm seeing nothing but slam pieces on Catherine Connolly and not a word about Heather Humphries. Odd, that.

Jim Gavin election posters all around Ireland like Easter Island stone heads. Who put them there? Nobody knows. What is their purpose? Perhaps astral guides for interstellar observers, perhaps a crude calendar by which the olden times people kept track of the seasons & feastdays. We can only guess.

The fact that the term "Death Squads" is not yet in use in relation to MAGA's strategic goals for much of the Western Hemisphere is a testament to how so many American analysts and journalists still can't get their heads around what is unfolding right in front of them in Washington

Fore #BeyondFriday this week we are going back to the grubby streets of New York with Robert Butler's Night of the Juggler. This thriller looks intense as all hell, and I cannot wait to watch. See you all on Friday. BROLIN.

Think I'll read this once a week forever.

Patricia Routledge, I love you.

I respect that.

I’ve heard it’s no Diana.

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

A cracking list from @marbleicehook.bsky.social. The Czech time-travelling farce Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (1977) is the most delightful Hitler-related film you're ever likely to see.

Someone has put Kevin Reynolds rarely seen Fandango (1985) up on YouTube. Kevin Costner’s first proper leading role too.
