#TimeAfterTime #filmdialogue Morning. I'm going to veer away from the usual ante meridien musical appreciation for a change, and plunge you all instead into ante meridien film dialogue appreciation. I'll also be including silent film intertitles. Don't say I'm not good to you.
Good musical morning everyone. I can't understand why #ToniBasil (of Hey Mickey! infamy) was a one hit wonder. She was a force of nature. I had her album #WordOfMouth on #cassette and I watched her two #BBC specials in 81 and 82. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaJ8...

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.
My husband Mr Crayon's review of #TheOdyssey. He's a good lad is hubby so please don't take against him for his less then enthusiastic evaluation of Nolan's approach to thaumaturgy. I mean Big Chris opens with 'In an age of apparent magic...'
The Oddity
It’s curious that Christopher Nolan, with his strange mix of artistic credits and deficits, should have become The Guy. He’s not very good with emotion or sex or action, which are pheno…

@katieheyes.bsky.social Hey lady. I like the cut of yer jib. Thank you for the nice review of Laurel and Hardy: The Silent Years (1929).
Nice review from #Filmhounds' Katie Heyes of the new release of #Eureka! #MastersOfCinema's #LaurelandHardy: The Silent Years (1929). I'm delighted that this review was written by a woman. L+H fandom seems to be almost entirely male,
Laurel and Hardy: The Silent Years (1929) (Blu-Ray Review)
With this collection nine silent shorts from 1929, fans of Laurel and Hardy can experience a high definition restoration of some of the pair’s earliest works.

Have just discovered that #AlejandroGonzálezIñárritu has #ADHD and is really open about it! Look at him using his entire body (especially his hands) to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V3P...

#Laurel&Hardy #LaurelandHardy #film #comedy #MastersOfCinema Oh I suppose I should be pushing this thing again. It was released 3 days ago and we had a blast making our contribution to the extras. The resulting 49 minute video essay is called 'Glorious Disaster.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq9X...

Morning. As promised, here is a belated review of #StewartLee vs The Man-Wulf. I laughed so much at this, the next day my voice was just a parched croak. I was sitting in the stalls so the fog machine didn't help. Endearingly, Stew's American accent is still bloody awful.
My phone suddenly stopped recognising my fingerprint. (I deleted my 'old' fingerprint and replaced it with a new, even older fingerprint. Yep. That's how long I've had my phone) I'M LIKE #SETHBRUNDLE IN #THEFLY (1986)! The rigours of ageing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUiV...

Went into the centre of #Edinburgh yesterday. My words on returning were, "It's hell out there." "You were just in the wrong part of Edinburgh," said David cheerfully. "I was in #TheMeadows and it was lovely."
Reminded John Leguizamo was American del Boy. I know who I would rather glide with.

Adorable screengrab of 23 year old #BusterKeaton hiding behind a double bass in The Cook (1918). He's hiding because miscreant and evil clown Al St. John has appeared out of nowhere, taken over the Bull Pup Restaurant, and is forcing Alice Lake to dance with him. The rotter!
Morning (just). I'm going out on a limb today and trying 70mg of my #ADHD medication #Elvanse (aka #Vyvanse in the States). I have two reasons for doing this. 1) I'm just curious, and 2) I really want to enjoy #StewartLee vs The Man-Wulf at The Playhouse, Edinburgh tonight.

RIP #SamNeill. I first became vaguely cognisant of him in #MyBrilliantCareer (1979) and #Possession (1981). I was fully aware of him when I was 15 and #OmenIII:TheFinalConflict (1981) was released. It wasn't a particularly auspicious film but I noticed he had intense charisma.

Morning. This AM's musical choice is #MichaelJackson's Bad. I vividly recall this being released in 1987 and being incredibly excited because #MartinScorsese directed it. I watched it and spotted almost all the references to #MichaelPowell's #TheRedShoes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsUX...

www.facebook.com/radiotimes/p... Really fascinating look at #Evolution and #Neurodivergence. I'll defintely be giving this show a look. The text provides a link to the making of the programme which also goes into some detail about #ChrisPackham's #Autistic traits.
Ah no, Bonnie Tyler has died. I interviewed her a few years ago and she was reliably great: www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...
Bonnie Tyler: ‘There’s nothing I won’t talk about’
Tyler was a country-rock chanteuse before an operation to her larynx transformed her into the husky queen of the power ballad. She will soon take Total Eclipse of the Heart to Electric Picnic

Fuckinell! They're literally smearing Count Binface already. The joke candidate. My god these people are pathetic humourless worms 😀 @countbinface.bsky.social
Ok. My statement about my future in public life...(clears throat) I hereby abandon all allegiance to #Aardman Animation and give myself over entirely to #Illumination, makers of #DespicableMe, #DespicableMe2, #Minions, #DespicableMe3, #Minions:TheRiseOfGru, #DespicableMe4 and #Minions&Monsters.
I will make a statement about my future in public life at 12:00PM.

Well, we’re off to a good start. Count Binface on the BBC getting a prime time interview making a mockery of Farage’s self serving stunt from day one. Good.
