Just had some very nice Welsh cheese and I'm eating it very Caerphilly. Not a joke (although it is), but it's lovely.

And, since we're going Scottish, 'Shallow Grave' to finish later.
Next up 'Dog Soldiers'. It always delivers. "Spoon? There is no spoon."
Today's first film. The adaptation of Irving Welsh's 'Filth'. Utterly reprehensible, very funny, actually quite touching. Sadly, he's come out as a bit TERF-adjacent recently. You sit on the fence, you get splinters up your arse, mate.

So, weird thing today. A disabled trans woman blocked me here and I honestly don't know why. Guessing that it's because of that idiot who recently inexplicably added me to their stupid 'Transphobes' list. Er, just look at my posts, folks. 🙄

Ooh, @ notamagatrope has just blocked me after, I'm guessing, that I suggested that a certain Scottish author might be a bit transphobic. No, not *that* one. 😜

Watching #BBCNews coverage of the Budget and wondering who this is actually aimed at? It just seems like pointless political masturbation. It will get rendered down into some simplified slop for the 18.00/22.00 news bulletins. No wonder we are where we are.

The long and winding road: Stuart Maconie on why our opinions about the Beatles keep changing
Fans and historians have spent 60 years debating what the band means – and which member is greatest. Will the returning Anthology project and Sam Mendes’s planned biopics create new arguments?

Okay, another Matheson adaptation next. 'The Legend of Hell House'. Again, around ninety minutes.
Hollywood loves Richard Matheson almost as much as PKD.
Today's films. Two 70s classics. 'Dark Star' and 'Duel'. Both clocking in at a lean, mean, sub-ninety minutes. Modern Hollywood could learn a lot.
