I still can’t spot a typo before I hit ‘reply’. Some things never change.

You’ll have to request a download link from the team. It’s worth it.

I worked in a hotel with a reception manager who used to put a Christmas tree up in reception every August ‘to advertise Christmas events’. I repeat, in August.
Prick.

Disappointing lack of apostrophe in ‘Hallowe’en’. You’re obviously not a patriot.

This is the only time of year that I ca get away with keeping the bodies on the lawn.

Watching the Alien 3 Legacy Cut- a five years in the making fan project to correct the janky cgi, colour correct the negative and to combine the best elements of the assembly and theatrical cuts.

It’s a miracle that it’s this good. Definitive. A far superior Alien film to Aliens.

That made me snort too. You can hear the white noise of decline in his voice, but it’s like the clouds have parted and god himself is being interviewed.

Hermann Göring was a narcissistic homovestite, he was obsessed with being awarded medals and honours, with grotesque bling, treated underlings like shit, married multiple times, insisted on a disgusting level of opulence, and was mad with power. He also wore makeup

Does that remind you of anybody?

‘Scientists say the evidence is lacking’ might just be the understatement of the year.

Perhaps there’s more coming….it sounds like there was a bit more to the interview that wasn’t included by the way it appears to have been edited. Or am I seeing kittens in clouds?
I hadn’t realised that it was a significant Burton year- perhaps that 2022 portrait of mine is due an update…

8 hours? That was some hot shit.

Charles, instead of being a tone deaf knob head as I thought, sounds like he may have been on (to) something.

(Why are people like this??)

Just happened to have jumped in the car for a short journey this afternoon and had to pull over to give it my full attention. Shame it was buried on the world at one, when so many would take pleasure in it. Featuring the late Bill Turnbull too, for extra value.

Enjoy. I caught it by chance in the car this afternoon and thought almost nobody would have heard it, buried on the world at one.

Christopher James @jameschristopher.bsky.social · 1d

Ah that’s great, thank you. Good to know my pretties are out there bringing people pleasure.

A long lost Burton interview here (from 39 minutes). Unheard for forty one years and recently rediscovered. His final interview for the BBC weeks before his death. It is, as you’d expect, magnificent.

Was probably still in date. Mine expired last week, and because I have a colander where my brain should be, I didn’t renew it in time. Fucking idiot. So it’s unlikely I’ll be able to hire a car….going to make some calls tomorrow to see what the craic is.
