Please tell me Tom did it as Digger. #worldcup

Liz 2024 When I opened my studio five years ago my first large format picture was of Richard Burton, which @mrenglish.bsky.social and his spectacular wife bought. This changed my life. So when Andy turned 30 a couple of years ago, I knew what had to be done. Silver leaf on OSB board is 👌🏽

Just back from The Odyssey. Relentless brilliance from start to finish.

Booked for Sunday. Very excited.

Talked to two great guests yesterday for Writers on Film for two separate episodes coming soon @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social on A Hard Day’s Night and House of Psychotic Women author @kierlajanisse.bsky.social on Monte Hellman’s Cockfighter. Can’t wait for you guys to hear them!

Might watch Aniara to cheer myself up.

I know some of you have been hesitating to buy my novel Connery because you want “a taste” as the drug dealers say. Well here you go my friends: the first one’s free open.substack.com/pub/jbleasda...

It’s official

Awful news. Not only a brilliant actor from Possession to Jurassic Park, A Cry on the Dark and In the Mouth of Madness but a damned decent human.

Let's pump those crazy Swedes.

It’s new Stones album day today. Vinyl copy still in its cellophane but couldn’t resist the cassette version. #rollingstones #foreigntongues #cassettesrule

Current listening. If you like Black Sabbath and Budgie, give them a try. Brilliant stuff. Pappo’s Blues.

Must. Stop. Sweating.

This should be made legislation.

Oh dear Argentina.

Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?

Took my grandson and his mate to their first gig yesterday, Metallica (supported by Avatar and Pantera). They had the time of their lives. Even taking 2 hours just to get out of the car park afterwards couldn’t ruin things. And the delay of the football meant I got home just in time to watch it.

If only there was something the USA could have done to help prevent this.

#FirstWatch Project Hail Mary. About as good as big Saturday night escapist movies get. I blubbed loads, in a good way.

Just explaining to my 5 year old grandson that Disney own Star Wars and not George Lucas. But don’t worry about George, he has plenty of money. Also explained to him what copyright is. It’s a thing where Disney can take all our money if you want some Star Wars lego.

Looking forward to tucking into the last 2 episodes of Widow’s Bay.

The Doctor will see you now. Come on England.

For the good of everything that makes us human; if you care about art, film, poetry, writing, photography…whatever it may be, please please sign this.

Great song.

Oh Japan.

A great birthday present: I have signed a contract with @kentuckypress.bsky.social for my biography: “Sean Connery: A Self Made Man” which will be available to buy in 2027

Oh dear Brazil.

This evening’s vibe.

I am so very ready to hear who is the new #JamesBond

Who’s your favourite movie father?

I like my gas fresh. How do you take yours?
