Today's Google search I never thought I'd make:

PS. The book is going very well.

Show us the evidence.

I think it’s important to remember that as into social media as we are, huge numbers of Brits & Americans don’t spend time online & get their info from newspapers, tv & what colleague say at the pub/work.

As William Gibson wisely said, “The future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed”

Took my 15yo on their first vinyl shopping excursion. They bought a copy of “Songs from the Big Chair” and asked where to find Black Sabbath.

The kids are alright.

Thread du jour-
i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Definitely a head-scratcher that many will find unsatisfying. But from a purely visual standpoint, it’s never not interesting and even captivating at times.

REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND: I naively just expected a stylish and stylised spy films tribute and had underestimated Cattet/Forzani! This mad narrative kaleidoscope of an actor’s psychosis is so brimming with visual brilliance and invention, one viewing isn’t enough!

My manager called me to glow about hearing about the review on numerous calls that day, all with people that didn’t know I was his client. But he asked “Is this how you want to be known around town?” I realized I didn’t and that my critic career had to be over. Thus I’ve been all love all the time.

I spent the first 10 years of my career as a famously vicious film critic. I was effusive with love but wrote some famous takedowns that often went viral. There was a 2 month period where my careers overlapped. I wrote a SAVAGE takedown of an admittedly deserving film that went around town…

And now I keep my negative film opinions to myself. You guys don’t need to see me kick other filmmakers in the nuts. And I have been all the happier for it. The best thing to do with a bad movie is learn from it and otherwise never think of it again.

Loook...

I don't give a shit about Katy Perry or Justin Trudeau.

All I'm saying is that if you made a movie about a former prime minister and former pop star falling in love, set it at Christmas, and then put that shit on Netflix, Jess and I would crush two bottles of wine watching it and love it.
