Electra Glide in ‘Boo!’: Steadying the Camera in Halloween
Lingering shots of a killer’s POV were pretty fresh in 1978, which makes the Panaglide, writes JULIAN UPTON, the true innovation in John Carpenter’s 1978 movie.

Very happy with today’s book haul, especially the Accident film tie-in. I nearly hyperventilated when I saw it.
I was ‘best dressed animal’ in a fancy dress contest in Mablethorpe in 1983. I was an owl, in case anyone is wondering. Got a trophy and everything.

Lovely to see @annodracula.bsky.social leaving a copy of Offbeat, a book I also contributed to, for all to see while recording a feature for the On the Beach blu-ray. Review of the BFI release coming soon to @on-magazine.bsky.social in which I’ll mention the film’s tenuous links to East Yorkshire

I reviewed The Driver's Seat when the BFI released it on disc a while back. I as very taken with it. And as a paperback collector, I must admit I was fascinated to see what was on offer. An added bonus!
Jonathan Coe@jonathancoe.bsky.social · 4w agoWatched The Driver's Seat (1974) last night. Such an odd film. One odd thing about it is that when Elizabeth Taylor is browsing for books at Copenhagen (?) airport, her hand reaches out for one of my favourite - but least-known - novels of the 1960s. @quantick.bsky.social @iammilliam.bsky.social
Re-watched it last night. Still a lovely, charming offering from the great Basil Dearden, one of my favourite directors. I'd like to adopt Old Tom please.
