Impossibly glamorous couple solve a mystery at Christmas while barely spilling their martinis. I'm in.
Next month, we're returning to the @allendalecentre.bsky.social to start our Screwball Comedy Season with The Thin Man (1934).
We can't promise anything as glamorous as this picture but it will offer a rare opportunity to see this classic on the big screen.
Individual tickets: tinyurl.com/3x8ryzhf

Stood a few feet from Douglas Adams in the foyer of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane as he collected his tickets for a Randy Newman concert. I, a huge fan, said nothing at all.
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

Well done @letterboxd.social for being the only digital provider NOT to tell me the price of my subscription will be "changing" so it can invest in the product etc etc.

Saw Wake Up Dead Man at Dorset's lovely Rex cinema. Terrific fun, on a par with the first Knives Out. And worth seeing with an audience if you can.
