Looks like the good bit from a boring Apple + show. Clockwise; Stellan Skarsgård, Camilla Parker Bowles and the back of the late Ronald Pickup’s head.

There’s been a few of them over the decades. All of them missing the point. I think ‘Zit’ might have even been a Murdock owned project.

Bafflingly popular. Drags with overlong scenes and ‘on the nose’ homages. Whole film seems to dine out for free on the genuinely good opening scene but then Waltz goes on to play exactly the same character for the rest of his career.

No one knows what happens to him in Ethiopia for certain. What is certain is that his full 12 month sentence here couldn’t have been served. Kinda puts a question mark, at least, against the whole obsession with deportation as a fix for everything.

Poor old Charlie Chaplin. Tbf Leicester Square is now a bit kitch/tacky (as per your preference) like that so it’s on-brand if not particularly newsworthy. I’d personally like to see a bronze statute of Danny Glover on the toilet in Lethal Weapon 2. Just for contrast.
