Here’s to that fucking dickhead Farage promising to get rid of DEI hires that don’t actually exist. And for also getting morons elected on promises to ‘deport illegals’ when that’s nowhere near their actual remit

I’d rather focus on the remembrance of a great and decent man than the cameras zooming in on fucking Trump in his blue suit twitching with boredom like a five year old hyped up on Skittles

Am quoting big chunks of Murder on the Orient Express to a bemused audience. The 1974 version. Any other version is a travesty.

My husband and I having a barney in Tescos because I ‘waste so much food’ and I counter that I can’t remember absolutely fucking everything

Totally devoted to sitting outside even after it’s nearly eight, the sun’s gone in and it’s actually not that warm at all. Has to be forced indoors on the promise of a pack of Schmackos.

Started watching this on the treadmill this afternoon and I must say that Brian Laundrie has big Chris Watts energy.

At the beginning of The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), Jill Lawrence (Edna Best) breaks all of the conventions of motherhood and being a wife. She openly flirts with another man in the company of her husband, and does not seem at all maternal towards her daughter Betty (Nova Pilbeam).

The movie so good that Alfred Hitchcock made it twice - The Man Who Knew Too Much. The first one was in 1934, and side by side with the 1956 version proves itself the ‘racier’ offering. I’m going to do a deep-dive this week into how & what it tells us about cinema reflecting society at both points

Me when my husband comes and stands next to me while I’m working, smiling, because I know it’s something he’s fucked up on his computer and needs me to sort it out

A proper old-school slab of horror from 1981 that I found on Kindle Unlimited and am enjoying immensely. Nazis encounter dark forces in an old Transylvanian fortress. Very peak-era James Herbert.

While not quite PC now, Ona Munson’s haughty performance as ‘Mother’ Gin Sling in Josef Von Sternberg’s The Shanghai Gesture (1941) adds much to the film’s jaded atmosphere. There’s a connection between her and Gene Tierney’s Poppy that all the opium in the world cannot erase.

Iconic director Billy Wilder with Marilyn Monroe. Wilder once said Billy Wilder said: ‘A director must be a policeman, a midwife, a psychoanalyst, a sycophant and a bastard.’ He certainly had his hands full working with Monroe, who tested him beyond his limits.
