The most recent one was that hopeless Red Hulk/Capt America film which was just a waste of everybody's time. No film with Hulk in it should be just plain boring
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

Funny how it's only athletes who do things to honour deceased family members not welders, forklift drivers or hospital cleaners etc #WinterOlympics

Yes I saw one of his shows in London one time, a total revelation
If you're anywhere near New York, make a beeline for this. I've been to a couple of William Eggleston expos & you cannot IMAGINE the impact of his photographs when you see them "live". I leaf sadly through my catalogues, because there is just no way of capturing that effect on the printed page.

A new exhibition brings together new dye-transfer prints of the classically American photographer’s work

Of course for quite a while I thought "Norwegian Wood" was a London suburb like Denmark Hill. Oh and NW is an actual poem as opposed to being just poetic .

This is what I've been doing with my time recently. Can't remember when I last enjoyed helping to compile a festival retrospective programme so much. These films are subversive, outrageous, WTF & bonkers, a full complement of extraordinary horror & sci-fi classics that deserve to be rediscovered.
EXORCISING FRANCO: SPANISH GENRE CINEMA 1968-1983. This is a FANTASTIC restrospective, featuring not just classics like WHO CAN KILL A CHILD?, LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE, THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED, CANNIBAL MAN, BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE, ARREBATO... www.offscreen.be/en/offscreen...

Wow Gregory Peck's laboratory is bigger than I thought ...

The Second Slow Death of a Naturalist
CoPilot interrupting my web-wandering with this corker:
"If you’d like, I can create an original, Heaney-inspired poem that captures the same spirit of hope meeting history. Would you like me to do that?"
I cannot think of anything that I would like you do less.
