It's that time of year once more, to dust off this particular platitude. #BahHumbug #Grinch

Eclectic actor Udo Kier passes away at 81. I lose count of the many films I have seen over the years - across genres and budgets - that were levelled up by his presence. www.theguardian.com/film/gallery... #RIPUdoKier

Happy #40th birthday to one of my favourite albums. "So Red The Rose" by #Arcadia. Pompous, arty, preposterous and fun. To quote some of the lyrics: "She's moody and grey. She's mean and she's restless"

Legendary Hollywood actor Robert Redford passes away at 89. Far too many iconic roles to mention, so here is a picture from my favourite, the gloriously enjoyable "Sneakers". www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0... #RIPRobertRedford

I just wrote to my MP, asking them to attend the debate on 2nd September and speak out in favour of scrapping First Past the Post for Mayoral elections. Use this tool by ‪@makevotesmatter.bsky.social‬ and ‪@unlockdemocracy.bsky.social‬ to do the same. actionnetwork.org/letters/devo...

Suddenly, as if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared. Sleep well Mr Benn. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #RIPRayBrooks

Every bloody time! Warm weather, window open at night and a room full of flying kaiju whilst trying to sleep 🤦

Pumped for Pulp 🙏

Val Kilmer passes away at 65. Star of the ridiculously funny "Top Secret" and cult classic "The Salton Sea" as well the big guns of "Batman Forever" and the "Top Gun" films, his quirky style continued even after a visible battle with throat cancer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #RIPValKilmer

In it to win it. 🙏

My first memory of watching Gene Hackman. As a small child I was entranced by the character "Harry Caul" in the movie "The Conversation". I was too young to understand what was going on, but it captured a part of my mind for good. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #RIPGeneHackman

In it to win it 🤞

After 40 years of going to gigs, it seems I may finally have taken a decent picture. @captainsensible of @thedamned captured at Manchester Academy on Friday 6th December. #keepmusiclive

Roger Corman leaves us, at 98. It's fair to say this man helped to shape the best that Hollywood has produced. He looms large in the embryonic stages of the careers of so many great actors and directors. www.theguardian.com/film/article... #RIPRogerCorman

That's me sorted for the rest of the night. visdeurbel.nl/en/the-fish-...

Louis Gossett Jr passes away at 87. An actor with real gravitas who never really got the roles he deserved IMHO. www.bbc.co.uk/news/enterta... #RIPLouisGossettJr

I used to have this on VHS, from the tellybox. Brilliant 👏 youtu.be/9EukmcmB8A0?...
