To brighten your Sunday, a slice of Carolina Blues (1943) - with the Four Step Brothers, and the athletic grace and elegance of Harold Nicholas, half of the legendary Nicholas Brothers. Spectacular!

M. Audiard and his amazing translator after the showing last night of his wonderful Emilia Perez at Picturehouse Central. Hates musical comedies, apparently.

My rent & electricity are going up. Meanwhile, for 25 years freelance rates have stayed the same or gone down. I know amazon sucks but if you were to buy one of my books I would be very grateful. Every little helps. (I get more royalties from self-published books.) www.amazon.co.uk/stores/autho...

Watched this for the second time last night. What a wonderfully resonant, emotionally shattering piece of work. In a just world, this would have cleaned up at the Oscars.

It’s still summer here in Los Angeles. So not only are you constantly aware of the climate crisis but there are these little delivery robots running all over the place to reinforce that the future is actually now.
