Classic sci-fi movie Saturn 3 celebrates its joyful 46th anniversary today. Obviously, you’re familiar with it – directed by Stanley ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ Donen, it starred Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel, and had a script by Martin Amis. It couldn’t fail. Ah, and yet, and yet... 🧵

We finished watching Small Prophets last night. I hope it’s not a spoiler to say that it’s an utterly beautiful, funny, warm, sad, heartbreaking, heartwarming, strange, insightful, wonderful thing and I suggest – no, INSIST – you watch it as soon as humanly possible.

Big Nut has been telling you stories all your life and you’ve all fallen for it
