Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

RIP to the great Diane Keaton. If you can find it, her book on Clown Paintings - for which she curated a large selection of flea market amateur clown portraits -mostly fantastically creepy - accompanied by the thoughts of famous people regarding clowns - is well worth a look.
Diane Keaton standing in front of of an impressive array of creepy clown paintings Dusne Keaton’s book ‘Clown Paintings’ which features an ultra close up view of a clown’s jeering face. A portrait from the book - an incredibly creepy black-eyed clown John Waters on clowns, with the headline ‘Clowns are usually assholes’

Another recent film, not yet freely available on any streaming service. Fuck this quiz. There are a million films to choose from, no need to make this quiz so exclusive.

(Luckily, I'd seen a trailer. This film hasn't even been out for two months, so this is a bullshit question.)

all the press around the Ed Gein show seems to insist that Robert Bloch used Gein as the inspiration for Norman Bates - it’s become the accepted narrative - but here’s the thing: he didn’t!
screenshot from robertbloch.net (Audience question regarding the aspects of the Ed Gein murder case as they have supposedly, "historically" applied to Psycho. This otherwise cliched question rates inclusion here because of the breadth of Bob's definitive answer.) BOB: First of all, I didn't know anything about those aspects when I wrote Psycho. I did not use Ed Gein as a basis for Norman Bates at all; I used the circumstances, which were: somebody could live in a small town, where everybody knows everybody else's business, and conduct a series of murders without anyone suspecting. But people don't like this. They like to believe the legend. When you get right down to it, Ed Gein did not run a motel. He killed nobody in the shower. He did not preserve the body of his mother. None of those things were part of Mr. Gein's background. I invented a character at the time which, not having read the details, which were not being printed initially or immediately, because they were very prudish in most cases. Life magazine and a few other publications later came out with a great deal of stuff, but I would not have used it even if it had been available, because it didn't meet with my particular plot requirements. But the legend persists, and will continue to persist. A little over two weeks ago, I think, a network show called Hard Copy asked if they could interview me regarding Psycho. I said I did not want to be interviewed; I didn't want to go down to a studio. They said, "We'll send a crew out." I said to myself, well, if it's good enough for Ackerman, it's good enough for me... screenshot continued They came, and throughout this interview they kept asking, "Didn't you think of Norman Bates because of Ed Gein?" Didn't Ed Gein inspire the characterization, and blah-blah-blah. I kept telling them what I just told you, and the interviewer and crew kept looking sadder. And sadder. I said to myself this isn't going to happen. Sure enough, the show came on, and they'd gone to Plainfield, which had been Gein's home town, and they did a very nice broadcast regarding the case, and they used some dramatization footage which I swear was probably part of a documentary that had been made at the time, because it was in black and white instead of color, and was not aired because it was undoubtedly too strong for audiences then. They salvaged that and put together this program. And I was a non-person. I didn't exist. My name wasn't mentioned, and I certainly did not appear onscreen. Obviously, if I had, they would not have had a program, because their title was The Inside Story: The Truth About the Ed Gein Murders! And my denials were the exact antithesis. This is a horrible lesson in how easy it is for media, today, to distort by omission, or by any kind of editing, what actually happened, what occurred. What I'm citing is trivial; it doesn't mean anything one way or the other. But think of the implications-how this sort of censorship and willful distortion affects so called "news" reporting, and so-called documentaries, on various topics that are of social or historical importance to an audience. And that's something that scares me far more than the activities of Mr. Gein.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

Every civilization must contend with an unconscious force which can block, betray or countermand almost any conscious intention of the collectivity.

One of the first showings of Cameron's Aliens. Place was packed, so I was sat quite far back, which meant I was able to see the ENTIRE audience lift about a foot in the air when the presumably dead facehugger in the specimen jar lunged at Burke.

Well-mannered arthouse screening of Michael Haneke's Hidden. Entire audience let out a communal horrified gasp at the throat-cutting.

Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?

During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.
