Surely no director has made as many great, hugely successful films whilst failing to etch their name into the public conversation. This book is looooong overdue. Great chat - didn’t realise he was Max Freischer’s lad.

I’m not seeing enough in my timeline about Dolly Parton’s business acumen. Refusing to let Elvis record I Will Always Love You cos of Col. Parker’s unfavourable terms was huge. No Dolly = no industrial Madonna, Beyoncé, or Swift

Hoping to catch Coyote vs Acme tonight. Chuck Jones is one of the great geniuses of the 20th Century, and his genius created nothing but joy.
Vincent Alexander@nonsenseisland.bsky.social · 5d agoA clip I hadn't seen: Looney Tunes director Chuck Jones talking about how Warner Bros. destroyed the original drawings and cels from the classic cartoons. A truly insane crime against art.
I’m reminded of a tale my grandfather told me (the most straight laced life long civil servant you could ever meet) how during his wartime Naval adventures he and another sailor had shore leave and broke into the then empty Hong Kong Governor’s residence and lived there for a week living it up.

Juggernaut - ocean liner-boarding thriller approaching the Disaster Movie craze from entirely the wrong trajectory as a cast list worthy of a Toast Of London anecdote strive to defuse an oddly specific quantity of incendiary devices and Roy Kinnear's infinite gags. timworthington.org/2025/09/29/l...
I was living in London at the time and on one of the Tube posters, someone had written ‘It was him!’ above Keyser Söse. Bastard.

@househammerpod.bsky.social Never seen this but always assumed it would be the ultimate case of failing to live up to the (amazing) poster. Might have to catch it, if only to see the credits sequence and the vast expanse of James Olsen’s forehead.

Marty Supreme is on Prime. In common with lots of films that were nominated for lots of Oscars but won zip, it’s probably my favourite film of the year.
Reliably late to the Weapons party. Christ, what a wonderful movie! Stone cold classic.
