Will be avoiding this cheap cash-in exploiting the Oscars success of HAMNET. ‘Hamlet’, yeah right mate.

10 years ago today I was watching a George Formby film at Blackpool Winter Gardens. How things change.

Fancy this, but guarantee that if I book it, all the acts I’d really like to see (Ty, the ‘Lab, Anna Von H) will be on at the same time or in venues that are really far apart.

Check this out, the cinema that is now the Dancehouse on Oxford Road, Manchester, presumably 1972/73. Look at the line up, though I can’t work out what film ‘Exposed’ is. (Via Facebook)
1970s cinema marquee listing PRIME CUT, FRITZ THE CAT, EXPOSED, JOE KIDD, and SHAFT’S BIG SCORE.

One of the funniest pictures I’ve ever seen. Pathetic-looking Farage, delighted to be perched on the end of a table ‘with’ Trump, post 2016 election.

Yes, these are the worst things about those two people.
Churchill was a rude, drunk asshole and FDR cheated on his wife. And together they stomped Nazis. I do not want moral purity, I want Nazi stomping.

Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan Political editor This is a pivotal waymarker in the remoulding of the right of politics, sprinkled with the farce of a rushed announcement: a big moment delivered in a small, sweaty room, on a day where skulduggery collided with cock up.

My god this sounds fucking awful.
James Ellroy • 1d • O •• X Coming June 9, 2026 from James Ellroy: RED SHEET Disavow what you think you know about the so-called Red Scare. This is commie malfeasance and '60s L.A. as you've never read it before. It's late October 1962. The Cuban Missile Crisis has just concluded. The Russkies blinked and pulled their ICBMs out of Cuba. Attorney General Robert Kennedy fears reprisals from seething commies. He orders a red probe and puts the LAPD on the job. Freddy Otash is injudiciously named the lead investigating officer. He's a stone-cold criminal with police sanction and a harrowing dope habit. He homes in on a red-front trade union. There's a murder on Halloween night. It may link to ex-VP and current gubernatorial candidate Richard Nixon and two commie snuffs from eight years back. Freddy's overworked and overamped. He's running the probe, and Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman-Tricky Dick Nixon's head goons-have hired him to keep Nixon away from the smear-minded press. L.A. is coming unglued. Ex-cop/lawyer Tom Bradley is running for a city council seat and pushing the Rumford Fair Housing Act. Playboy kingpin Hugh Hefner is along for the ride, out to exploit racial tension and peddle untold copies of his smut rag. RED SHEET is James Ellroy's most crazed kamikaze run and a daring, subversive work of fiction.
