Whatever they do it won’t be as shit as the bit in Spectre where Christopher Waltz says ‘my name is Blofeld’ like that would mean anything to anyone in the film.

@theanfieldwrap.bsky.social interview @knoxharrington.bsky.social conducts with Asif Kapadia about his Kenny Dalglish documentary is worthy of the film, and the film is worthy of the man, so that’s saying something. Hats off.

@warringtonruncorn.com any chance the sold out new t-shirts will be restocked in time for Christmas? Or my birthday which is annoyingly close to Christmas?
Apologies for such a self centred request but I am, apparently, impossible to buy for.

At Manchester Poly in 1988 legend had it that Tanita Tikaram had been offered a place but dropped out to pursue music career. Since I got in through clearing I like to think I owe my place to her.

Really enjoyed @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social Jesus Christ Kinski - KK a touchstone for film geeks growing up in the Channel 4/Moviedrome era (‘wait, Nosferatu is in The Big Silence?’). Sections where The Writer becomes obsessed by his subject as compelling as the depiction of onstage mania. #BookSky

The way Mark Radcliffe says ‘celebrating Half A Century of Horses’ on the @bbc6music.bsky.social Patti Smith trailer makes it sound like a corporate video Alan Partridge did for a North Norfolk equestrian centre.
