My earliest memory of Dharmendra was seeing him in Sholay (1975) with my parents in Manchester in the late 70s. A very sad loss.

Universality by Natasha Brown - it’s a smart read, but didn’t grip me as her debut The Assembly. I guess I’m was looking to escape reality and be reminded how dire things are at the moment.

This time last week I was at La Piscine - Musée d'art et d'industrie André Diligent de Roubaix just outside of Lille. Today I’m hibernating at home as it’s too cold outside.

Blue Labour taking inspiration from Demark. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The UK wants to emulate Denmark’s hardline asylum model – but what does it actually look like?

Denmark has slashed asylum numbers by granting only short-term status and by targeting ‘ghettoes’, which critics say has damaged the country’s values

A good example of a wasted opportunity boxd.it/bFsqaf

A ★★½ review of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)

Every rewatch makes me think this was a total missed opportunity to make a really good series of films.

I don’t recall seeing a zero star review in The Guardian before … ouch 🦂

All’s Fair review – Kim Kardashian’s divorce drama is fascinatingly, existentially terrible

Not even Glenn Close can save this Ryan Murphy disaster from its dismal plots, clueless characters – and the worst kissing scenes ever filmed

It’s November, so it’s time to start with the horrific hallmark style Christmas films. First one for 2025 is Christmas at Maple Creek. She’s a historical fiction romance author and he’s a history professor, but during the holidays is a blacksmith.
