My dad told me a story about having a drink with Mr Lovell at some local dive bar when this sequence was being filmed for The Man who Fell to Earth back in the 1970's.
My dad said Mr. Lovell had a lot to say about space and what he saw there...
I'll leave it at that.
Rest in peace, spaceman.

My most recent directing work.
I wrote this film for the wonderful Rosie H Sullivan’s song Porcupine. The song really drew me in and we’re all so happy with how the video turned out.
DOP on this was the wonderful Lewis Bowden who absolutely nailed it as always. Enjoy ❤️👇👇

Keeping fighting the good fight, folks!
There are way more of you than we give ourselves credit for.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Clarkson is right. Brexit has made travelling to the EU with any kind of professional equipment, nightmarish. Carnets for cameras etc is a bureaucratic, expensive waste of time. But it applies to loads of industries, esp musicians/performing artists etc.

Since we left the EU it’s been easier to get into Iraq than France. None of this has made our lives better in any way

Elon Musk biographer here.

The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now.

Publicly. Daily.

The Post either knows this or should not be in business.

We can’t have a functioning democracy if we think our opponents are evil.

So many amazing anecdotes about David Lynch. I will add something fluffy but possibly entertaining.
For a brief while, David Lynch was probably best known in the UK for his wonderfully him PlayStation ad, championed by the great @trevorbmbagency.bsky.social
