The sound of the voice in my mind when I read the morning news.
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

It's official: Grilled Cheese will be making it's US debut at next month's inaugural The Great Beyond Festival in Great Falls, Montana. For anyone interested in the paranormal, sci-fi, and good old-fashioned drama, this one festival is a must.

What a way to start the new year- out of 100s of short films in London Lift Off 2025 Film Festival, we’ve made the final 14.

Thank you to all that have watched and supported Grilled Cheese so far.

2026 has just begun and I can tease that there are more announcements and other festivals coming soon

STOP USING THAT SHIT.
AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.

It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.

AI’s water and electricity use soars in 2025
It’s guzzling up even more water than expected.

Paul Dano is amazing in THE FABELMANS, truly tragic and sad but full of love for his family.

Also, Dano is INCREDIBLE in THERE WILL BE BLOOD. He does exactly what the role requires and goes beyond.

Finally, Dano brings real relatability and empathy in SWISS ARMY MAN.

Paul Dano - great actor.

This.
Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:

The right defends economic power.

The left resists economic power.

‘Risky is the best way to be’: Tim Curry on sexuality, surviving a stroke – and 50 years of stardom
From Rocky Horror to the Muppets, Curry’s extraordinary career made him world-famous. Then, a stroke left him paralysed. The actor talks about his cocaine years, his friendship with David Bowie – and the moment his mother came at him with a knife

Ian McShane is 83
On how he came to be narrator on Grace Jones’ Slave To The Rhythm:
‘I was in a chip shop with my wife Gwen, & Trevor Horn came in, who I’d known forever.
He said ‘Ian, what are you doing after supper?’
‘Why?’
‘Well, I need a voice & Orson Welles is dead.’

Overwhelmed by the response today. What an incredible audience to hand our film over to. Touched and humbled by all the love, and so very proud of our incredible team. To all who made this film possible, and with my whole heart: thank you.

When you get to test drive your latest film on one of the best damn screens in London, as Kurt Vonnegut said:

“And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’”
