Went to see The Running Man. Never saw the original adaptation, and perhaps if I had I might have appreciated this more, but it felt like a bit of a mess, and as though it lasted about half an hour longer than it actually did. #filmsky 🎬📽️

Not sure that will have poured oil on troubled waters, I must say.
This afternoon my wife in her discontent sent me a letter, which I am in a quandary what to do, whether to read it or not, but I purpose not, but to burn it before her face, that I may put a stop to more of this nature.

My next book group book is The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. I've started reading it over the last few days. I'm slowly finding my way into it. Its prose is quite sparse and there's a definite emphasis on character over plot but I like that kind of thing. #booksky 📚

At my book group last night we talked about The Fallen Idol by Graham Greene. It's always published with The Third Man - both stories were adapted into excellent films by Carol Reed. I feel The Fallen Idol is if not underrated, certainly under-seen, but it's one of my faves. #booksky #filmsky 📽️🎬

Couple of days off work ahead of me. Booked for a day trip to York tomorrow! First stop is the Minster, then getting a Yorkshire pudding wrap for lunch, then going to the railway museum, then home. Solid day in prospect.

End of year film polls should be published the following February so they can cover an entire theatrical year and also allow some crucial Christmas/January catch up time.

1986 to 1991 really were a low point in TOTP title design.

1986 to 1991 really were a low point in TOTP title design.
But a high point in TV theme tunes.

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, on at Manchester Apollo last night, are the figures you can just about make out thanks to the inadequacies of my phone camera. They were very good.

After the cinema yesterday I looked in on an exhibition in the gallery called Roots in the Sky. This one is by Joy Labinjo and it's called Love him and let him love you.
