It was great to have #ElmoreLeonard, my favourite novelist, back - even if it was for only 96 pages.

I only knew the basics of #ClarkGable's life so this brilliant biography was a fascinating, page-turning eye-opener about the King of Hollywood.
A very interesting and latterly very-troubled man and I expect this'll send me back to #RedDust, #ManhattanMelodrama and #TestPilot.

The first / sit-on-hands (not literally) read-through: all I can do is turn the pages, can't scribble, cross out, highlight typos etc. - a necessary agony to give me an idea of the story as a whole.
Wish me luck!

An absolutely amazing night at the world premiere of Survivors: The Spectre Of Threads, here in #Sheffield where the film was shot 41 years ago. I can't stress enough how much I want @craigimann.bsky.social and Robert Nevitt's brilliant documentary to be seen as widely as possible.

"Stop crying, will you? You're getting married. That's what you wanted."
"I don't want it now."
"Why not? Don't you love Artie?"
"Of course I love him. I always will. I... I'm not in love with him anymore, that's all."
"What happened?"
"You did..."

The opening shot of #TheFrontPage (1931) really is something else - and there are several others in the movie that almost match it.

Weird to think this four-year-old scamp* bullying #CharlieChaplin in #ThePilgrim (1923) would go on to write three #DirtyHarry movies half a century later as well as doing script work on #DasBoot and #TheGodfatherPartIII.

The greatest drunk purchase of my life: abebooks, 2005... Classic #WarnerBros. screenplays printed in the 1970s.
(Apart from #IAmAFugitiveFromAChainGang; got that in Manchester Waterstones in 1999).

Scott Eyman researches and writes consistently-brilliant books about the Golden Age of Hollywood and his biography of Louis B. Mayer, #LionOfHollywood, is no exception.
I raced through it and I think any fan of #TheMovies, especially the old ones, would too.
