Hi everyone, Day 1 is here, and this also marks my 500th post on this website.

This is my favourite performance of Jim Carrey’s […]

Read more "Save The Prince Charles Cinema"Dear all, I’m posting this again; something I wrote a few years ago, in light of this week’s sad news. I just took part in the 10 minute meditation that happened around the world involving many of us, and now seems like as good a time as any to share this. When I was 14 […]

Read more "Shott Stories – Episode 7"Watched Threads over several nights this week. My God, how awful. I don’t think I’ve even seen anything so bleak in my life.

All the adrenaline was long gone […]
Read more "Queen of Hearts – Act 2 reaction"Hi everyone, I’ve been wanting to get this post in the bag for some time now, since seeing the first film. I made some predictions when all this started about who I thought should be in the key roles. That’s all ancient history now and, suffice to say, I didn’t get any of them right. […]
