got banned for life from the TaleSpin forums for suggesting that Baloo in TaleSpin is NOT the same bear as Baloo in The Jungle Book. People were screaming at me to shut the fuck up even though I provided EVIDENCE

Proper warm up here at 8,700ft today (Isola 2000). Instant removal of all unnecessary clobber.
Nobody should take particular pride in going to an Ivy League school (it’s fine, whatever, congrats your parents had money to spend), but it’s especially unseemly to brag about or even mention it when you’re past 30. That’s more than enough time to have actual accomplishments.
More gorgeous poster art from the great @slipperyjack.bsky.social for our new short film, THE FAIRY MOON, directed by Craig Williams, lit by Sean Price Williams, produced by yours truly. COMING SOON
Some lovely title artwork for our little film coming through from the legendary @slipperyjack.bsky.social
Recording the soundtrack to our new short film, THE FAIRY MOON with a select group of singers conducted by Caspar Sélén in the Swiss Church at Endell Street.
The greatest history book I've personally ever read is Ruth Scurr's Fatal Purity, about Robespierre. This podcast is a must listen.
Past Present Future Podcast@ppfideas.bsky.social · 2y agoNEW EPISODE OUT NOW! For our second episode on the people and ideas behind the French Revolution David talks to historian and biographer Ruth Scurr about the man who came to embody the revolution in all its radicalism and all its terror: Maximilien Robespierre.

It's been a lot of fun rehearsing opera quartets with Tiger Vocal 2.0 in readiness for a musical evening at Café Fidelio, Clerkenwell, on 15 March. Here "Non Ti Fidar" from Mozart's Don Giovanni.
One of the few genuine journalists operating in this country, fearless and indomitable (despite how many fifth rate, mediocre men have tried to shut her up).
Carole Cadwalladr@carolecadwalla.bsky.social · 2y agoLast week, the new owners of the Observer wrote to tell me they would *not* be issuing me with a new contract. 🤷♀️ So...I want to say publicly that it was an absolute privilege to speak on behalf of my Observer colleagues during our strike. I don't regret doing so. And I learned so much from it. 1/
Brilliant, scabrous film. Like a Ray Cooney farce directed by Tobe Hooper.
Sideshow@sideshow.bsky.social · 2y agoOur trailer for Alain Guiraudie's slyly funny thriller MISERICORDIA. 🍄 The "surprisingly hilarious yet unsurprisingly horny" latest from the director of STRANGER BY THE LAKE arrives in theaters on 3/21. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wk2...
It's often said, but it isn't true, that Citizen Kane is Donald Trump's favourite film. I wrote a paragraph two years ago addressing how little the former had to say about the latter.
Sorry not to make more effort with this but Conclave LOL #BAFTA
I've really enjoyed the last couple of days, producing Craig Williams's second film THE FAIRY MOON, starring the extraordinary James Swanton.

Greetings from St Anton, Austria, which is predictably beautiful.

Is there anything more soul-destroying than seeing a capsule obituary of a great British actor reduced to having appeared in Harry Potter?
The one thing I have always found baffling is why Nazis are ashamed of being Nazis. They're not ashamed of the causes they espouse and the ideas they promote, so why be ashamed of the name? They're obviously trying to bring Nazism back, so why don't they say as much, openly and loud?
Terrific opening traction for Personne n y comprends rien. A film which shows what happens when you elect a criminal to be President.

Writer-director Craig Williams got me Ismail Merchant's recipe book...
