Last night’s film, OUTLAND (1981). In the period between Bond & his late 1980s renaissance as older sex symbol, Sean Connery did some really Interesting films. Solid mix of low-fi SF, western & bad town noir. Could argue Connery at his best when he wasn’t firm in his footing, as seems the case here

Today is the 50th anniversary of a CIA orchestrated coup against a democratically elected Australian government. That’s exactly what it was, Washington acting to contain a left social democratic government that was starting to threaten vital US intelligence based on Australia soil. Never forget.

Tell me you haven't read From Russia With Love without telling me you haven't read From Russia With Love.
(Context: at the end of the novel, Bond is poisoned by Rosa Klebb. He collapses to the floor and it's strongly implied he's dying. This cliffhanger is simply ignored in the next book.)

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Rewatched it a couple of months ago and it’s a solid movie that should have a much bigger legacy. Highly recommended.

Beautiful copy of the Elliot Gould Candace Bergin 1970 college revolution movie ‘Getting Straight’ Culled straight from the ABC Melbourne library by the looks of it. Some nice commentary on this movie in @pulpcurry.bsky.social edited @pmpressuk.bsky.social book ‘Revolution in 35mm’

Christ on a crutch, just read an extract from THE MUSHROOM DIARIES. Actually, tried to, because it was so unbearable I couldn't finish it. If you can read 256 pages of a group of writers trying to shoehorn deep subtext into every utterance of a murder trial, you are a stronger person than I

Another great read from Andrew about a lost voice from the smut pulp era.
He digs deep and gives us details of the real woman behind the pen. It's a compelling bit of research and it stands as a good reminder that even when the books were meant to be disposable, the people who wrote them weren't.
