My pal Jon Spira (Elstree 1976, Christopher Lee doc) is writing a biography of British Get Carter/Flash Gordon director Mike Hodges, based on conversations they had before Hodges passed in 2022. Support indie film writing and get the book from as little as £20! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jon...

The chutzpah of X claiming that any information on its misinformation-firehose platform is “99% accurate”…

Of course they didn’t do an asbestos audit. First thing I thought when I saw the bulldozers knocking down the East Wing without a shroud over it (plus America’s adversaries will be scrutinising every pixel to see how secure the White House is). www.asbestosdiseaseawareness.org/newsroom/blo...

Has Apple’s “Genmoji” featured ever worked for anyone? I think it’s generated a result once for me and the result was like a Star Trek transporter failure. Most of the time I get “Something Isn’t Right”. You’re telling me Apple. So disappointing… 😔

Check out my mate @videojon.bsky.social's fab "Elstree 1976" Blu_ray release, with extras that are an embarrassment of riches, including *days* worth of extra material, commentaries etc! For the cinephile in your life, this is Christmas sorted. Get in quick! www.kickstarter.com/projects/206...

I’ve spoken about this so often, I just want to put a date stamp on it and get credit going forward. I wondered when Trumpeters would come up with a uniform. Now they have. It’s the “penis tie”. They’re all starting to do it. Mark my words, next it’s notepads.

Christ on a bike. Where has the Overton Window moved to when I’m on the same side as Nigel Farage?! www.itv.com/news/2025-01...

Forced to do what?!?! I want rhubarb that’s volunteered for my crumble please Waitrose…

Same, but number 2 is my wife asking me what she’s seen the actor in before, what age they are, what height they are, who they’re married to, etc… 😆

Decency aside, I’m amazed in the BBC of all places, a risk-assessment didn’t conclude he was unhirable. The financial fallout of this will be huge (unbroadcastable shows & promos, unsaleable merch, legal settlements etc), never mind the reputational damage of the entire already-besieged corporation.

Poosh…?

It would be utter madness if Warner Home Entertainment don’t do a proper restoration of the James Bond films. To be very clear, I won’t be buying them unless this fella gives them the thumbs up. Take him up on his offer of help!

It feels like @markhamillofficial.bsky.social heard 18 million voices calling out… 😊
