Just watched the whole of Women's #SnowboardCross Just wonderful proper drama , whole races changing in the last 1/4 of the track. Plus the racers seem to have an unaffected sense of joy and sporting goodwill #WinterOlympics

Also like all the many paintings of this stretch of the Thames embankment, it documents the relative maturity of the London plane trees that line the river bank. They possibly the most paintedl trees in the World™ !
Emile Claus' view of Waterloo Bridge and the Houses of Parliament is not only a tour de force of impressionist painting but a fascinating document of London’s riverscape in 1917. On the left stands the shot factory with its landmark tower, now occupied by the Queen Elizabeth Hall

Can you imagine seeing visual storytelling like this in a world with precious few colour publications. It must have been psychedelic

Ruth Gordon was a treasure! Consider the contrast of her character in Rosemary's Baby.
Bud Cort was also brilliant. Loved him in Mash!
It was a trajedy when he suffered those disfiguring burns.

I want to pass this on: after I saw it (1974), I went to Santa Cruz and made my girlfriend a coin on the same machine that he used in that scene! (It's long gone, as the cheesy nature of the arcade had been replaced by things more high-tech. Such a shame!)

Not sure if it's deliberate but it's very annoying, I wanted to watch the #SnowboardCross from the start, when you go to the catch-up pages on I-player, the highlights clips are all labelled with the event outcome/results ie "Stennmark beats Müller to retain Gold" #ffs #BBCSpoilSport #BBCSport

Des was a man of many layers. Years after the event, I discover my first interaction with him was buying the 12” remix of Charlton Heston by Stump - that was him, as half of the Irresistible Force. He made the Popbitch newsletter as Secretary of the Ramblers Association (moor, geddit?) 1/2
Terribly sad to hear of passing of Des de Moor, an absolute gentleman, kind & generous. Talented writer of award-winning books inc. his comprehensive Cask, London's Best Beer & Pubs. Des conducted historic pub tours of London sharing his passion & knowledge. You will be missed RIP

Intriguing his costume makes him look like 1930's Sandman
Given how bad digital black and white can be, this doesn't look too bad. I guess it helps to light for black and white on the set and not just colour-correct afterwards.
