The Carpenters’ debut lp – Offering – was released today in 1969. Only their version of “Ticket to Ride” got any notice (#54 pop U.S.), but songs like “Eve” & “All of My Life” suggested bigger things were in store for the duo. Their label, A&M, quickly changed the album’s title to Ticket to Ride.

#NowWatching Extracurricular (directed by Kim Jin-min,2020)
"Extracurricular" shows so much promise early on, before meandering into a series of violent vignettes that water down the plot."

Curious vintage illustration as it is the uncouth fellow that is depicted as having a car, whilst the elegant gentleman recoils from its onslaught. The beautifully cynical alcoholic author, Patrick Hamilton, (1904-1962) having been run over in 1932, decried cars as a plague upon the world.

"Without a narrator and with silences louder than words, this documentary gives the audience the tools to paint by themselves a complex and damning portrait of one of the most controversial figures in cinema history."
