Love to you today, Katharina.
Love to you today, Katharina.
Great film, isn’t it. Changed the focus in the novel from a homophobic hate crime to an antisemitic one, but that fitted the times perfectly (and it holds up so much better than Gentleman’s Agreement). #bobs

Simon & Garfunkel: Concert in Central Park
On 19 September 1981, Simon & Garfunkel reunited for a free public concert on the Great Lawn of New York City's Central Park, drawing one of the largest ever audiences for a single concert.
Hahahahahaha you ridiculous fucking cunt
He's not gay, is the big takeaway.
Heat Lightning! 🤗
Me watching old Dirk Bogarde films
Hmm
😂
Philip Glass - The Complete Piano Etudes, but "Etudes" has been changed to "Wetudes" for a stupid joke
great album tbf
Holly Hunter and Anna Paquin, who have put The Piano (1993) in the surf.
That’s better
Imagine how good he’d be with a nice wet piano.
Their position is insane, who the fuck are these people?!
An intensely funny 10 minutes.
Glad you caught it in time, I know what it’s like
Yeah, with MPB on this. Best TV series I’ve ever seen and it affects me more deeply than the book did. Also, the Anthony Blanche is sublime
To this day it makes me feel a bit sick that “boriswave open borders experiment” went from far-right talking point on hushed dark web forums to something senior cabinet ministers just take as fact.
That’s fair

*Doctor looking at my X-Rays*
Doctor: Ah, this is exactly what I was afraid of.
Me: Oh my God, what?
Doctor: Skeletons.
Me at your book launch
Always been so fascinated by this story but never seen it done justice, so this is the dream.
“One of the greatest films never finished. One of Hollywood’s most dangerous alliances. One enduring legend.”
My new book THE CURSE OF QUEEN KELLY will be published this month by @stickingplacebk.bsky.social – on 27 March, Gloria Swanson’s birthday, no less.

What!!! This is so exciting.
Fascinated that Madonna - arguably 80s pop's greatest icon - doesn't appear in the decade's top 50 most streamed songs. (Cyndi Lauper has two.) Is she dropping off the cultural radar?
Oh that’s lovely though. We had a change of plan too. I got the tickets so I could take my Macca-mad auntie, then she couldn’t come, but it turned out to be special in a different way.
One worked in a wire mill in Derbyshire, and was a fireman on a steam train. The other fixed watches in the East End.
Same with Back Seat of My Car, even though the individual sections are dynamite. There’s also a sincerity in, say, Fool on the Hill that for all his later earnestness seemed to get lost as he leaned into pastiche.
