Whoever it was on here, that posted to watch this film, thank you.
A film so profoundly moving & so tenderly directed by Colm Bairéad. It was completely beautiful & I cannot stop thinking about it.

An important windsock on how the whole world could, and should, move forward on creating a world which is kinder to animals, takes vital steps on lowering our disastrous carbon bootprint, and finding ways we can all agree upon. Denmark, thankfully and intelligently, is pointing the way.

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934.
MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.

So sad this day, January 17th 2025.
She was just Joan, or occasionally, Miss Plowright backstage. A fine actress, with a lovely sense of humour.

Farewell dear Lady & thank you for your kindness,

It’s going to be tough to hold anyone’s attention but pointing out the 50% reduction in arts funding and the imminent closure of somewhere nearing 40% theatres mid-panto season is a good move. Just desperately hoping the govt has a plan for this #theatre #arts

OFCOM failing miserably in its duties.
#animalprotection
Exotic animals are frequently used on #Imacelebrity, and over its many seasons, animals have been crushed, eaten, confined to cramped spaces. We have serious concerns OFCOM is failing in its regulatory duties.
