RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.

The mumbles, hesitations, nose scratches, nervous laughter that Brando, Clift, et. al. introduced to acting — Diane Keaton incorporated them into a range of performances. She was a superb dramatic actor (SHOOT THE MOON) and a dizzy comedian. RIP. wp.me/pzXeC-e5Y

LOUIS!!!!

DJ Punctum @djpunctum.bsky.social · 2d

The new singles sales chart number one. Co-written with half of Hurts. Pisses all over everything on that album, none of which actually appears in the SALES chart (it looks and tastes like an album, but...). This is a proper great pop single:

This is great, like if Bananarama with Siobhan F had just carried on and become angrier. Recent top ten hit, ladies and gentlemen; this is what's been happening while you've squandered your remaining years watching reruns of a crappy old pop show:

Oh, and this is far from being a slouch as far as modern pop songs go. If the new album's as good, it'll be what some hacks still refer to as a "stunning return to form." New Young Punctum blog post going up after we've had our dinner:
