Tim Curry. What a character, and what a career. Covering the whole spectrum of theatre, TV, animation, video games, podcasts, records, writing, musicals, movies and Muppets. RIP. Seen here in The Shout (1978), Times Square (1980), Annie (1982), and Clue (1985)

RIP Dolly Parton. So iconic she even inspired this memorable 1985 advert for the Petite Typewriter 990. youtu.be/3xwF2kUewQw?...

In one of those "everybody would be better off if I was dead" moods. Like if I just stopped existing, their lives would vastly improve. It's a horrible mood and I hate feeling bit, but there you are.

Out of nowhere, I nearly burst into tears last night. Managed to hold it back. My brain seems to love making me feel shit.

As a child I used to be intrigued, perplexed and distracted by Ernie Wise's hair cut. That comb forward bit at the side. Like was it an accident, but if so why did it keep happening? Was it meant to be funny? I couldn't understand it and I still can't.

Every now and then, this turns up to haunt me. Only I could end up on TV the day the rain flattened my big Goth hair into a mullet mop.

Over on the dark place someone was saying how MotU film is not a success because it's outdated and a load of other guff. I gave my personal experience as a counter to say actually, you don't have to be nearly 50 and a fan to enjoy it. And they've basically said I'm wrong, and they know the "metrics"

Around this time 10 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare form of Nasal Carcinoma. Three rounds of chemo (each 5 days hooked to chemicals for 22 hours a day). Invasive cranial surgery which removed my olfactory bulb and sinuses. Followed by 30 days of radiotherapy. It was hell.

Shocked and very sad to learn that one of the most unique artists and musicians, Oliver Tree, was 1 of 6 fatalities in a helicopter mid-air collision. He was 32. Here's the song that made me a fan. Cowboys Don't Cry youtu.be/UEoU6VbHs2c?...

Does anyone know the difference between the Taschen Star Wars Archives 1977-1983 books? One is 603 pages and the other 500 and something. But is anything missing?

Just spent the past 5 hours holding an injured crow. Saw it being mobbed by magpies and jackdaws. It was unable to get away so I went out to rescue it. The birds were making an awful racket. It was weak, soaked and dazed poor thing. Will ring a wildlife place tomorrow to see if they'll take it.

Tonight we watched Furiosa, then Mad Max Fury Road, which is why we're going to bed so late. They do work well as a pair but there are a few moments in Furiosa with some shonky CGI. And it's a shame it took so long to get off the ground that Hugh Keays-Byrne died 4 years before the prequel was shot.

My big question is why America seemingly didn't have processes and laws in place to prevent it being turned into a dictatorship? To prevent said dictator profiting from their position, etc etc

I know I keep harping on about this and nobody is really interested but the Masters of the Universe film was so enjoyable. My other half has no real interest or knowledge of it but really enjoyed it too. Made us laugh made her jump at one point. Honestly it's the best way they could have made it.

My Twitter account was hacked. Trying to get access to it again is a nightmare. I know it's a credit of crap, but there are still plenty of fun decent people there and I get more interaction on there then here.

A day later, I am still thinking about the Masters of the Universe film. Fun, funny, nostalgic, engaging and very entertaining. Enjoyed it more than I ever have a Marvel film. Lots of references; to the 87 movie, cartoon and toys. Great soundtrack. If you go, stay to the VERY end.

You know, I enjoyed Masters of the Universe so much I'd rather have a sequel to that soon, than a Dr Who Christmas Special this year.

Was just playing Battlefront II and I managed to punch Emperor Palpatine to death with an ordinary officer. But I couldn't remember how you record what happened so it's lost to the mists of time!

Just got back from seeing Masters of the Universe. Wide range of ages in audience from young kids to old farts. I really enjoyed it. If you loved MotU as a child this is the film I wished the 1987 film had been. Lots of little nods and references. We were the only ones who stayed to the very end...

Today we saw a woman driving the wrong way round Tesco car park, then went to leave through the In entrance, and mounted the crossing island between In and Out as a car was entering. Madness.

I struggle with my attention when reading, but somehow as a teen managed the slog of Dracula. That's a book that needed heavy editing IMO. And movie versions cut a lot of chaff.

On the way home saw a young wood pigeon being mobbed by two others in the road. It was having trouble flying. I suspected hit by a car. It nearly got flattened by another as I got out to get it off the road. On the grass it was still struggling. Ultimately took it to my sister's.

That Wellerman song makes me want to ram by head through the wall. It's that weird droning hum. It's like it's on a frequency designed purely to drill through my brain via my lug holes
