I read, write, and watch too much TV...so very average at my two favourite things, playing football and guitar, though not at the same time

haha - I couldn't name who directed a fraction of the films you probably could!

Jeremy Lee (for it is he) rang the gong to announce her arrival and she said though he wasn't great at taking instruction in the kitchen he was fun to work with!

Casino Royale was Martin Campbell - Skyfall and Spectre were Mendes and have fine moments - 1917 though I think is better than both, one-shot (but not) and is paced perfectly

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 6h

absolutely, this and 1917 are far and away my favourite Mendes films, and this is the better of the two (American Beauty holds up really well too if you can separate art from artist etc)

There’s currently a feline face-off in our garden between our step cat Ozzy and a huge ginger tom - Warren is getting an education with a front row seat…

A five month old black tabby rescue kitten called Warren looking through a kitchen window into a back garden watching a black cat and a huge ginger tom facing off over territory

hahaaha omfg yes!

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 17h

the highlight reel is mid - I get that a director, someone who wants complete and absolute control, would want to work with this but there must be times when a member of the cast or crew suggested a change and he went with it and it made something better, you'll never have that working alone with AI

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 19h

this was a brief moment of calm between the bouts of caterwauling - it ended with a face off on the decking to I went out and the big ginger sped up the wall and Ozzy retired to his spot under the agapanthus at the back of the garden

a big ginger tom sits upright while Ozzy, a big black cat, sits in a loaf position in a luscious green garden

Ozzy defending the garden against a ginger tom this morning; lots of caterwauling, massive fluffed up tails and circling of each other - new cat Warren was watching from the kitchen counter and got so scared he fell off lol

BALDING hahaahaa #CelebrityTraitorsUK

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 1d

all of this is correct but the first US series got it spot on for me, half celeb, half normal people - made a fascinating dynamic

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 1d

yes Nick Mohammed, you've marked the right cards #CelebrityTraitorsUK

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 1d

the build to Full Gear and then Worlds End with Mox and OC facing off at the end of so many shows was for me some of the best TV they've done - either man on opposite sides of the ring after whatever main, both delivering well on the mic, as Mox has since said it was the stuff you loved as a kid

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 1d

yeah, saw Blair Witch again a couple of years ago and fwiw I think it holds up well considering a lot of the imitators that it spawned

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 1d

saw it live as a kid and the following week at school those of us who did were creating all sorts of mad lore about Pipes, and being kids had no idea about the furore it had created
