RIP Gene Hackman. Gone to that great stakeout chase in the sky.

Gene Hackman. A legend. Rest in Peace.

Man.

RIP Gene Hackman. So many brilliant roles, but will always be Popeye Doyle to me. youtu.be/uoqQN94ibDc

Possibly. Maguire liked those foreground intrusions of instruments and limbs. But his heroines tended to have fuller heads of hair.

I’m watching 70s disaster movies for an article for @crimereads.bsky.social and I’m currently watching a low point, “Meteor,” but it does have a great line, delivered with gusto by Sean Connery: “Why don’t you stick a broom up my ass and I can sweep the carpet on my way out.”

While there’s not much I can find out about Printers Lane in Sydney’s Darlinghurst, there is an old printers factory down the lane on the left. What was there first? The name or the factory.

Well played this man

First watch: Le Cercle Rouge (1970). Confirms my impression that Jean-Pierre Melville was a forerunner to Michael Mann, with more existentialist neo-noir stylistics than you can shake a stick at. Rififi is a clear influence, with Melville attempting to one-up its wordless centrepiece heist sequence

Sad news about Jennifer Johnston. I haven't read a lot of her work but really enjoyed Two Moons and The Christmas Tree which I re-read in December, after which I bought a copy of How Many Miles to Babylon. I'll read it this week in her memory.

I wrote a small piece for the @irishtimes.com tribute to Jennifer Johnston. Forever grateful!

We at Kennys are very sad to hear of the passing of Jennifer Johnston, a cherished author and friend. Over the years Jennifer visited us many times, always bringing warmth, humour, and a deep love of literature. Her storytelling, from How Many Miles to Babylon? to The Old Jest & Shadows on Our Skin,

Writer Jennifer Johnston dies aged 95 www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

I’m very sorry to learn of the death of Jennifer Johnson. I spent a day with her in her apartment, recording an audiobook. She was a true gentlewoman. Her living room was full of photos of her children and grandchildren. RIP

Lost in transition: the fiction of Jennifer Johnston by Deirdre O’Byrne. Her writing dwells on inter-relationships, ‘mixed’ marriages between Catholics and Protestants, links between Irish and British, ‘indigenous’ Irish and Anglo-Irish www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

Sorry to hear that Jennifer Johnston has left us att age 95. Such a wonderful writer. I (re)turned to her novels during the pandemic and found them hugely rewarding. So human and well observed. RIP

Back in 1987 Isaac Asimov criticised the scientific inaccuracies in ALF - happily the boy Shumway was given the right to reply.

The job of the government isn’t to “produce federal revenue” the job is meeting the needs of the people. Refuse to engage in a debate about the profitability of providing people’s needs through public resources.

This is also the case in Australia

This SOYLENT GREEN illustration by Lou Feck is incredibly cool and I’m curious as hell what it was done for. A poster for the film, a cover for the novelisation, or some other purpose?

Another valuable eyewitness dispatch from the coup. Kudos for this detail: “[Musk’s] social media company — a less successful version of the Chinese microblogging site Weibo that’s known as “X” and now largely populated by Nazis and the many mothers of Musk’s 13 children…”

As a car-obsessed kid who even knew where the CHARLIE'S ANGELS office was on Robertson in Beverly Hills, it infuriated me that Aaron Spelling -- no matter what Ford paid him -- stuck the angels in a couple Mustang IIs and a goddamn Pinto. I'd have put […] [Original post on mstdn.social]
