Today is the 50th anniversary of a CIA orchestrated coup against a democratically elected Australian government. That’s exactly what it was, Washington acting to contain a left social democratic government that was starting to threaten vital US intelligence based on Australia soil. Never forget.

Last night’s film, OUTLAND (1981). In the period between Bond & his late 1980s renaissance as older sex symbol, Sean Connery did some really Interesting films. Solid mix of low-fi SF, western & bad town noir. Could argue Connery at his best when he wasn’t firm in his footing, as seems the case here

Christ on a crutch, just read an extract from THE MUSHROOM DIARIES. Actually, tried to, because it was so unbearable I couldn't finish it. If you can read 256 pages of a group of writers trying to shoehorn deep subtext into every utterance of a murder trial, you are a stronger person than I

Just reminding you all that Francis Ford Coppola actually did offer the role of ‘Colonel Carnage’ aka Colonel Kurtz to Lee Marvin before Marlon Brando.

It is a fascinating historical era, including how the Years of Lead seeped through Italian culture. I wrote a chapter in my latest book about how the far right’s ‘strategy of tension’ even permeated Italian poliziotteschi films of the 1970s

I have been meaning to watch Lynne Ramsey’s 2002 film MORVERN CALLAR for years & finally did so last night. Wow. What stunning portrait of the transgressive power and energy of youth.

Did you know that Jimmy Sangster, the Welsh screen writer best known for for his work on Hammer horror films, also penned nearly a dozen novels? Including this one, PRIVATE l aka THE SPY KILLER (1967), one in a two book series. Must be amongst the only book cover design photographed in a toilet.
