Last nights movie ‘The Bridge at Remagen.’ Solid WW2 flick from 1969. Found out today filming was severely disrupted by the Soviet invasion following the Prague Spring of 1968 & the whole company was evacuated in 2 convoys, abandoning possessions, equipment & days worth of footage.

So that was Tuesday June 3rd 2025. Crikey. Another day done, another (almost) here. (Out this month in 1989, just 36 years ago, the comic book adaptation of 1989’s Batman movie, with its terrific cover by Jerry Ordway & Steve Oliff. For me, the issue was even better than the film.) And so to bed …

I'm doing pretty well at tracking down Evan Hunter (and pseudonyms) short stories, but I've got some big gaps in the collection, so if anyone has any leads on PDFs of early 1950s War Stories Magazine, Famous Detective Stories, Super Sports or Ten Story Sports (amongst others), I'd love to know!

What do you think are the best American paperback crimes originals from the late 1940s/50s that are not well known? I’m not talking Dan Marlowe, Goodis, Thompson or Elliott Chaz, etc. l’m talking about the really good stuff that I might not have heard of, that has flown under the radar.

I’m currently working on a big newspaper summer reads spread that I’ve been doing for years. I put so much work into this every year, reading dozens of books and trying to create a balance of authors and genres. And then I see this! Enraging and inhuman and useless. Like so much AI slop.

This will be of no surprise to any artist here on Bluesky but a new qualitative report has been published about the Basic Income for Artists pilot in Ireland and it turns out that the impact has been far-ranging and has affected all aspects of artists' lives booksirelandmagazine.com/basic-income...

If you like Paul McCartney and Ray Davies' more baroque character sketches, and if you ever wondered what Michael Palin would be like as a lyricist, then Barry Booth's sole LP Diversions, from 1968, could be the one for you. I write about it in today's Record Room column: patreon.com/bobstanley

“The city is very small, and it seems to constrict as the years pass. You can’t leave the house without seeing a face you know. In fact, there are no faces you don’t know. They approach from all sides. And the rain. The constant rain.”

Thanks to the @irishtimes.com for letting me rattle on about how I got £60 a week for my first job, how my best purchase is a jumper I drunkenly bought 10 years ago in Japan, and about how evil I think big gambling is. Thanks even more for using a picture of me when I was 40 😎

I can also 100% recommend this book. It's dark and hilarious and REEKS of the old world of fags, booze, pubs, jealousy over other people's fame, sudden fights, problematic trousers and rock'n'roll, whatever she is. A genuine classic.

Tightrope is the most giallo-esque Clint Eastwood film. A masked killer is murdering sex workers in New Orleans and Eastwood's cop Wes Block (amazing name) is hunting him down. Really interesting film for how it plays with the Eastwood screen persona.

Just seen this hardback edition of Flight Into Danger (1958), the story which inspired the movies Zero Hour! and Airplane! I like how it gets to the crux of the story - no pilots! The novelisation was also called Runway Zero-Eight. The story was adapted for TV and film many, many times.

Happy Birthday to actor, producer, and narrator Morgan Freeman, born June 1, 1937, in Memphis, Tennessee! Here he is as one of his recurring characters, "DJ Mel Mounds," on the PBS children's series "The Electric Company" (he appeared on the show from 1971-75). He's had a lot of success since then.

I buy a lot of books second-hand and for a long while I've been documenting them on a Tumblr account (partially as a way to keep track of what I have). Hadn't updated for a while, but I'm now adding to it again, in case anyone fancies browsing my virtual bookshelves everythingsecondhand.tumblr.com

Remembering actor Powers Boothe, born June 1, 1948, in Snyder, TX (d. May 14, 2017) but ... I never watched him when he starred for two seasons in "Philip Marlowe, Private Eye," which aired on both HBO and Sky (UK) in 1983/1986. It's not on Max now, of course, but Youtube looks promising.
