An image of group of festival delegates interacting at a networking event. In the background there is a slide with the Cinema Rediscovered logo and the text Welcome thank you for joining us and an image of Alain Delon in Le Samouraï. Below the image there is the following text: Cinema Rediscovered: From Local Festival to Industry Launchpad
“For the arthouse sector, perhaps the most encouraging revelation is Cosgrove’s assertion that "film's past is its future" - a sentiment being validated by younger audiences who are discovering cinema history through new platforms but choosing to experience it in the traditional theatrical setting“
Just read a review of Glengarry Glen Ross that describes Kieran Culkin as “well into middle age”. He is 42.
He didn't care if his last running mate lived or died. And he doesn't care if you live or die.
is something that should have probably been said a lot more last year.
Very much looking forward to thinking up some unhinged names for drinks!
Since caramelized onions always take longer than you think they will, this post just set the new baseline to at least 2 hours.
But don’t go in thinking it will take 2 hours, or else they’ll take 3.
“The significant rise in the number of people being diagnosed with a mental illness in recent years has been driven by real issues that affect us all, such as increases in poverty, housing and food insecurity, as well as loneliness and isolation. ”

It's not"comedy on prescription". It's an intervention from a charity that could be 1 option for someone receiving social prescribing support. It's not NHS - social prescribing systems are partnerships across health, LA, & voluntary sectors. No-one commenting has any idea what they're talking about
Why Do We Wake Around 3am and Dwell on Our Fears?
umm it's called having hobbies

"At California’s Yosemite National Park, the Trump administration fired the only locksmith on staff on Friday. He was the sole employee with the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms."
oh wow the future has arrived, move over Pauline Kael
Ed Miliband, the secretary of state, has written a strongly worded letter to the regulator asking them for help.
You are the secretary of state. You are the government. Why not just nationalise the greedy parasites?

‘Hello calling from sexy literally. I’m just calling to confirm you can still attend your appointment with us tomorrow’
Phone now sends me transcriptions of voicemails. Very confused by this one until I listened to it. Turns out ‘sexy literally’ is in fact ‘Specsavers Bletchley’
It's weird as a biologist to say "ignore the science part" but here we are
Science: Vaccines don't cause autism.
BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. If vaccines caused autism I would still recommend them. Dying of preventable disease is bad. Autism isn't a disease and most of the "bad" of autism is society.
If you could find a way to generate electricity from Ronald Reagan spinning in his grave you'd be able to power the Eastern Seaboard right now.
Bet father bought the bloody thing tho.

Tweet by me which reads “Liz Truss at the Coronation like an actor who appeared in one episode of Doctor Who attending Comic Cons for the rest of their life.” 5.9k retweets. 35k likes. *sigh*
Just saving this for posterity, like someone grabbing the family photos before fleeing a house fire.
In four years time, the papers will still be writing shit about benefits and the small boats will still be coming and Britain's economic need for neither immigrants nor Europe will have changed, and these voters will blame the government and you'll have wasted your chance to actually fix anything.
And it *doesn't mean they're heroes*. Your job as a government is not to elevate the prejudices of a particular group of swing voter - against foreigners, benefit claimants, Brussels - into iron laws of politics. Your job is to improve the country enough to show them they were wrong.
I keep seeing well meaning people telling americans that they can move to the UK easily because of their British spouses. they may be well meaning, but they're also handing out irresponsible and wrong advice. please do not bet the farm on team UK offering anything but high fees and bad vibes
'Rookwood Operations...has launched a product that enables phosphates to be extracted from problem areas and then reused on farmland.
This week one of the company’s founders, Jane Pearce, will be awarded a £75,000 Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award for her role in setting up the project.'
I adore Barbarella. Saw it far too young and it gave me unrealistic idea about what my sex life would be like
Stupid decision.
