I sat down with my favourite writer, and her band. We talked about love and language and healing and sex. inews.co.uk/culture/musi...

Big Thief: ‘We want to take the shame out of sex. It’s been trashed in our culture’

The alt-folk band say their latest album is 'a record about everything': birth and death, grief, love and longing – and reclaiming the gentler side of lovemaking

Completely agree. The narrative is always determined by Oscars/box office/recency bias. I saw that one at two in the morning on terrestrial when I was at uni, surely the optimum conditions.

That’s fair. Rupert is a Tory, though. The only non-good bear

Certain celebrity deaths are harder to process than others because the person in question was so full of life and creativity and originality that you just assume it's never going to end.

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

Nobody mentioning Looking For Mr Goodbar on these tributes. Never gets shown anywhere. It was a v brave and bleak film and it divided opinion but once seen never forgotten. And it was the first film to give disco nocturnal danger and edge.

Go well, queen

in Looking for Mr Goodbar, a poor film but probably her greatest performance

in her lovely late-career rom-com, Something’s Gotta Give, opposite Jack Nicholson

Diane Keaton: ‘Life is magical, but I don’t see happy as part of the deal’

Well, la-dee-da, Annie Hall has made it to Hampstead at last. It’s been a long wait and in the time since Diane Keaton, as goofy, wonderful Annie, wooed Woody A

"She is the dream actress that every director should have." —Gillian Armstrong

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

Hahaha. Saw that fake Kubrick letter doing the rounds on here again today, where he threatens to stick the 2001 bone up someone’s arse
