Sarah's bedroom in the movie Labyrinth is one of the best examples of set design as environmental storytelling and foreshadowing/backstory in the history of cinema. Everyone knows it is filled with things that you see later in the film, but there's even more that you don't notice at a glance.

And invests no money in content or creators or any infrastructure of programme making, does no training, cannot support collaborative projects efficiently, and has an opaque payment system that mitigates against what the public would understand as “making television”.

the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

Bought my daughter a CD/cassette "Boombox" with big chunky, clunky, physical buttons and telescopic aerial. God, it's so satisfying to use. I want one myself

And when you're a star they let you do it.

This is a lesson I learned as a preteen, listening to Soviet refuseniks talk about how they survived until they were allowed to leave the country. You make art, you make joy, and you fight. Because those three things are the same thing.

Somebody close to James Cameron needs to hold an intervention about Avatar. We need a filmmaker of his talent back making proper films, not consumed by a series 3 hour long video game cutscenes

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become
