Another O.G. composer pens his final notes.
An ex girlfriend of mine worked on a screenplay with George Fenton. He really wanted to direct.
My favourite movie scores of Fenton's: "Memphis Belle", "Dangerous Liasions", "Fisher King", "Anna and the King."
Huge shame. RIP.

I only knew Malcolm Edwards slightly. When mutual friend John Brosnan died, Malcolm asked if I'd pen a piece for his wake. Malcolm was a lovely, lovely chap. RIP.

Worth reposting this article from two years ago. Very much a Primer for any Democrat who loses this time. I don't think it's a coincidence that Elon Musk is "suddenly" back on the Government books, with only weeks to the Midterms.
There's an interesting article here: a group of computer scientists have written to Harris saying that a wider recount is warranted.

The states in aqua green have same day voter registration which means you can register and vote on the same day. The states in white require you to register before (usually 28/30 days before). In Florida the deadline to register to vote is MONDAY October 5, 2026. Get your act together. 🗳️

Fuck Space X. Stop calling it a private space company. It’s socialized risk (we subsidize it), privatized reward (fElon reaps the benefits).
Stop giving that asshole government contracts. NASA didn’t need some entitled parasite’s help getting to the moon before. It doesn’t need it now.

Hmm. Maybe the Doctor Who "Claws Of Axos" creatures? I'd have been 5. Although I don't know if I was so much frightened, as fascinated.
I've an abiding thing for tentacles ever since.

On "Day Of Dredd" I want to bring out:
1) I was one of the screenwriters on the pre-Stallone "Judge Dredd" movie (back when it was going to be @schwarzenegger.bsky.social playing Dredd, and Tony Scott directing) and:
2) Lovely @2000ad.bsky.social writer Gordon Rennie killed me in the comic once!

There's an absurd "blink and you'll miss it" meta-moment insert in Mamet's "State And Main": Philip Seymour Hoffman and Rebecca Pidgeon in a diner reading the screenplay his writer-character's agonising rewriting, yet the script pages are weirdly an alternate version of the film they're in. #filmsky

Rewatched the misguided "Avengers" adaption last night. Clever lines mangled by both - surprisingly - Sean Connery and Uma Thurman. Ralph Fiennes could have been great, but the movie sucked in '98, and still sucks now. Eddie Izzard turns up!

So Warner Brothers is going to stay Warner Brothers, just with "A Skydance Corporation" on it, beneath the logo like Paramount?
Okay, I'm good with that. Thank Christ the "Curse Of The Discovery" suffix is gone...
Now if Ellison can just leave the studio the hell alone to run itself like before...

I forgot "Hellzapoppin'" in my September watch list! Spielberg always referenced it during "1941"...not surprised, as a bunch of gags are clearly stolen for his movie!
I was gobsmacked. It's basically a "Naked Gun" movie, with continuous jokes. Goofy, and I enjoyed every second of it. #filmsky

What's your "origin" video game?
I played "Pong". Then "Space Invaders" on the arcade, and "Asteroids". "Battle Zone", "Tempest". The Atari 2600 console: "Zaxxon"
But this baby made the Arcade owner pull the cord on the machine in irritation because I could play on one coin, forever.
