UK agents & producers! Need a light-comedy whodunnit with a few twists on the usual tropes? Think Father Brown with a more “devilish” detective than the Padre!😉(& hints of Batman, too) Watch this fun clip of my HAWKWOOD pilot table-read! Full reel at my YouTube channel! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Df5s...
Aw, so sad to hear about the passing of Prunella Scales!😥 “Fawlty Towers” is one of my all-time fave shows & she was brilliantly-funny in it as the imperious Sybil! She will be missed!😔 #RIPPrunellaScales
Agree, it’s still one of my all-time fave shows & she was brilliantly funny in it! She will be missed!😔

John Cleese on Prunella Scales, taken from Cleese's commentary on the Fawlty Towers pilot.
Is it me or is @tcmtv.bsky.social not showing any of the classic Univeral horror films much this Halloween season? (none of them are even on TCM’s On Demand, either!🤷🏻‍♀️) Is it some kind of licensing issue & they just don’t want to pay for the rights? Seems like it’s been that way the last few yrs!😕

I’m not really a big believer in Tarot card readings but I’ve collected a few decks just for their artwork, so I just picked up this Edgar Allan Poe deck at Barnes & Noble tonight since I thought it would be appropriate for Halloween decor! Cool artwork, right?😍❤️🐦‍⬛#Halloween

Yes, agree!😬 Kind of bleak approach to the characters!
Yeah, that was one of the few sci-fI shows that I just couldn’t get into as a kid, it was just seemed too weird in an off-putting way!😄
Oh, speaking of sci-fi world-building, I just finished reading your “Sol Majestic“ & LOVED it! I was crying by the end of it! (happy tears of course; the best kind!😄) Great characters & I loved the way you worked in scathing commentary on social-class into a story about a cosmic gourmet-restaurant!☺️
And their poor dog, too!😢
I do that too with some of the rulebooks/guides for the RPG’s that I haven’t actually played in years, but I still enjoy looking at the cool artwork & the character-classes/world-building guidelines (which I think were good practice for my own writing skills back in school!), like D&D & Starfinder.
Going to see this tonight!🤗❤️And this is after also having seen the premiere of Spinal Tap 2 on IMAX earlier in the week!😄(which was GREAT by the way, if you haven’t seen it yet!😂👍🔥) Some VERY much-needed escapism movie-watching! #DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinalePremiere #spinaltap2 #movies
I read that, too — apparently he followed a reactionary right-wing cult-leader even MORE reactionary & right-wing than Kirk was (if such a thing is possibl!😳) & was probably judging him for not being extreme enough for his likin!😬

This was GREAT!😄👏🔥Trust me, go see it! (& it’s actually worth seeing on the big screen, too! The concert scenes looked great in IMAX!😍) #spinaltap2 #SpinalTapIItheEndContinues #mockumentary #movies
Love the Odd Couple!😄👏Every Nov. 13th, I always post the opening line of the credits narration as an homage!😁And speaking of law, most of my fave eps are the ones when Felix & Oscar are in court & Felix acts as their lawyer & being melodramatic while he does it!😂(“When you ASSUME…!!”😂) And this one:
two men are sitting at a table and one of them says " aristophanes !! "

Going to see the premiere of Spinal Tap 2 tonight on IMAX, with a Q&A afterwards with the Boys and director “Marty DiBergi” (Rob Reiner)!😄🤗 (& then the new Downton Abbey finale film on Friday night!)❤️🎬🍿 #SpinalTap2 #movies
This right here! Well said!👏👏👏
