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 (It's long gone, as the cheesy nature of the arcade had been replaced by things more high-tech.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.

#SnowboardCross is so good it's got speed , skill but also random chance , hubris , spills thrills and very few chills. Plus the dirty cheap joy of a penalty shootout #WinterOlympic

Also let's be honest the motivation for many remakes apart from kudoswashing is that older films etc don't fit onto modern TV's or look a bit grainy etc it's partly why we got a pointless remake of the Snowman.
FFS makes some new fucking films, stop remaking singular works of art 🚫🧵#filmsky
Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”
“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was.
He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.
