Monday afternoon depravity with a preview of the restored cut of The Devils. Looking glorious on the big screen. Climactic literal boning aside, I became fixated on what Ken put Vanessa Redgrave through to achieve a realistic 90-ish degree head angle for all her scenes
Odd omission in this article: it characterises Paxman and Ann Robinson as ushering in an era of 'bad' quiz show hosts without mentioning that both of their successors are among this year's Celebrity Traitors cohort www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Phil Harrison@mrpmharrison.bsky.social · 2w agoThis headlong dash to the right is an amazing and disconcerting feature of post-Brexit British politics. Farage's thing (shrewdly if not honestly) has always been 'Vote for us or you'll get *actual* r/w thugs like Tommy Robinson'. Now, thanks to Restore, they're pandering to them.
