Just finished “A Thief’s Revenge” over breakfast this morning. Damn you, Mr. Skelton, for flinging my emotions about, six ways to Sunday. Seriously, thank you for another great story.

I was clearing out pics in an old file when I found this from way back in 1999. Glasgow's Citizen's Theatre. I was the only person on this poster I hadn't heard of.

That time, a couple of years ago today, when I watched Star Trek - The Motion Picture and noticed someone mooning at the back.

On this week's movie music show I've got flying aliens on bikes, men in tights and even elephants with no visible means of support. I've got planet killers, tornadoes and planes, lots of planes, because this week there’s something in the air. Tune in here at 4pm: www.southernsound.org.uk

The Ailsa Craig rises out of the sea mist near Culzean.
What have they done to Cape Fear? The original is a tight, tense storyline (the 1962 version is the best). Now we've got unnecessary padding and ridiculous plot points to blow it up to multiple episodes. Leave things alone!
No, this is NOT the location of all those book experts, crypto currency punters, phishers, smishers, fakers, takers and romancers. It's actually a picturesque glen. But wouldn't it be great if all those scammers were confined somewhere? We could cut off internet access and give us all peace.

This is amazing! Nessie has gone on holiday to Loch Feochan in the west coast!

On yesterday's walk, we also wandered into what seemed like the set for a jungle adventure, or Jurassic Park. There was no ravenous T Rex but there was a strange creature peering from the undergrowth.

On a walk today I wandered into a set for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I made a transatlantic crossing yesterday. But had to come back for coffee and scones. (Pic shows The Bridge Over the Atlantic linking the Scottish mainland with the Isle of Seil.
Tonight's viewing, a film I haven't seen for many years. Night of the Generals is at heart a murder mystery, a woman is murdered in occupied Warsaw and a witness says the killer was a Nazi general. 1/2
The final #jonasflynt #historical #thriller is out now in #ebooks and #hardback. Here's what readers have to say...
Guy Pearce seems to be drawn to bleak westerns ( The Proposition and Brimstone). Devil in the Dust is another. A supernatural western that doesn't make a lot of sense (a child has the power to kill anything she touches, and yet if anyone touches her face, arms, holds her they live).
I'm kidding around again today on my movie music show. I'll play tracks from films that feature young people, including ET, Lionheart, Mary Poppins, Bugsy Malone, Something Wicked This Way Comes and many more. Tune in here at 4pm (Saturday): southernsound.org.uk

As a fan of westerns, I caught SANCTIFIED last night on Amazon Prime. It's a thoroughly decent entry in the genre, not treading any new ground but that doesn't matter. It's a theme I love, a bad man finding redemption. The North Dakota scenery was impressive, as was the score by Will Van De Commert.
On today's show I'm wondering what's the matter with kids today, with tracks from St Trinian's films (old and not so old), The Goonies, The Cowboys, Annie and The Omen (among others!) So tune in today at 4pm right here: www.southernsound.org.uk
Enjoy Your Tea!
