Meet Mary Gordon - single mother & proud Scot who became one of Hollywood’s best-loved character actresses in the 1930s and was adored by the likes of James Cagney, Katharine Hepburn & John Ford. Thanks to the @sundaypost.com for letting me tell her story & giving her a great spread! #MaryGordon

@kermodemovie.bsky.social Hi Mark, just been listening to your Screen Shot on Frankenstein and thought you might enjoy my story about my great-granny’s cousin who was tossed down the well by the Monster at the start of Bride of Frankenstein! She really deserves to be better known …

Does nobody proofread subtitles (part 3027)?
I’m revisiting The Thick of It and this is what the subtitles say when Peter Mannion refers to Malcolm Tucker as “the Gorbals Goerring” 🙄🤣!

On this day, 40 years ago, I was introduced to what is still one of my favourite TV series - and it led me to what is still my favourite series of books ... EF Benson's glorious #MappandLucia series, dramatised by @channel4tv.bsky.social and with the peerless cast of McEwan, Scales & Hawthorne.

Cheering myself up in the company of the ever delightful Damon Runyon .. As if his Broadway stories weren't wonderful enough, these editions feature sublime illustrations by Nicolas Bentley - the icing on an already delicious cake 👌.

Spotify is bonkers. Where did they come up with these categories?!

I may not have been able to make the 4pm screening of Dead Reckoning at the GFT today but I reckon I should be excused as I am paying homage by wearing my latest beret ... 😉. Sadly, I look like Lizabeth Scott's mother rather than her twin 😓.
