This version of the book was on sale in the newsagents next to our house right up until the day it closed (this copy with the ice skull). Always intrigued me but I never put my hand in my pocket. Silly move, it turns out.

Train Dreams is magnificent. Poetic, honest, aching. Egerton was born to be in a 1970s western. Reminded me of The Brutalist; Bentley like Corbet using old ways to tell an old story in a completely new way. Oh, and Will Patton’s voice. How I’ve missed it. He and William H Macy too - a double-Bill!

Loads of Criterions on sale at HMV. Not the one I really wanted, typically. Bit the bullet and splashed out. I’ve been wanting to see this for years and years.

If you can catch Matthew Rhys playing Burton in…well…’Playing Burton’, grab the opportunity with both hands. All of Burton’s fire, mischief and remorse alive on the stage. Great night out at Neuadd William Aston in Wrexham.

I’ve always had a special dislike of the Spy Who Loved Me poster. A confusing block of big bold colours with all the details lost within it.

It’s a key horror moment for me: this photo was in Denis Gifford’s Horror Movies book and was the first film image to scare me to the point of incontinence. For that, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for The Plague of The Zombies.

Oh what a joyous film. A sweet, beautifully crafted antidote to all that ails you. I hope they rain BAFTAs upon it.

‘Let’s say…you’re a Lady.’ Currently watching for the first time in years. So, so good. I do miss Bob Hoskins.

I discovered today that Jimmy Tarbuck once had a hit single written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards featuring Jimmy Page on guitar. This has pleased me.

Currently watching…. Taken back to the opening night, watching with friends, and half way through we all gave each other that look. The one where we all realised we’ll be bragging to our kids that we watched THIS on the day it came out.
