A very short film about Charles Palmer’s concrete teddy bear garden in Bradford-on-Avon, demolished in the 1970s.
There is a sadness to these places being lost but I like to think the love hours spent on making, the person’s pleasure in their creation is never lost

Wonderful footage at about 6:44 in this film of Sidney Dowdeswell’s sadly long ago demolished visionary art environment, an extraordinary shell & concrete artwork which the retired engineer built singlehandedly in his own back garden in Hindlip, Worcestershire

Sometimes scintillating Blakean visions herald my migraines; fracturing stained glass galaxies, everything fiercely pearled with ecstatic majesty but mostly it’s a bolt of stray echoaic language or sound & today it’s:
A little mouse with Crocs on
Well I declare!
Going wank-wankety-wank on the stair

It reminded me of this drawing created by an individual who was compelled to live at Netherne hospital during the midC20th, who identity is currently unknown to us.

Top 5 movie genres are:
People being shits at a dinner party
Rotting mansion, faded starlet/society beauty, high-camp fuckdown
Either nothing or everything happened, glacially slowly & visually stunningly
Woman is being haunted or maybe there’s actually a gross guy
Tilda Swinton hears a weird noise

Top 5 movie genres are:
Breathtakingly beautiful magic realism that represents grief
Buncha fuckin losers decide to become a family instead of going to therapy
Yikes a ghost! Oh it's just sad.
Bright colours, singing, dancing, gay subtext/text

What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are:
- Roaring rampage of revenge
- Reluctantly, I must resume my life of violence
- On reflection, the risk assessment on our giant monster facility and/or attraction could have been more thorough
- Girl survives
- Crime but make it quirky

Perfect pastiche and genuinely beautiful in its own right
There have been many attempts at lampooning Elton John over the years, but the brilliance in Neil Innes' approach from RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION is to emulate Elton's musicianship while gently ribbing the oft-times endearingly flowery/nonsensical nature of Bernie Taupin's lyrics...
