A sad, sad day. The Caffè Nero on Charing Cross Road is no more. I swear their downstairs area (big space, comfortable sofas, Wi-Fi, socket access, decent music not played too loud) was the best kept secret in Soho.

So farewell then, Zoe Slater, Dead in your sleep after a nasty bang on the head, That you didn’t think you needed to go to hospital for, for some reason. Your much-heralded return was a bit rubbish, But your death turned out to be surprisingly moving, For such a quick write-out.

On the news yesterday, a music journalist recommended a relatively obscure Dolly Parton song. Does anyone remember what it was? i’ve tried spooling through the coverage, but it’s been edited down and I don’t think the interview is there any more.

Matthew Turner @filmfan1971.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Fair play to the BBC – the news channel has been nothing but Dolly Parton for the last hour, including several lengthy songs. RIP Dolly.

#EastEnders fans! Does this character have a name? She’s in every single episode, way more than named supporting characters like Shrimpy or Winston.

Somehow there are always great movies on iPlayer. All the MCU Spider-man movies are on there right now, instead of on Disney+.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! My Old Ass - one of the best films of 2024 - is currently on BBCiPlayer for one month. (Although it is suspiciously shorter than its running time on the IMDb, by 6 minutes).

For my Patreon I am re-reading books that made a strong first impression on me but which I have never revisited. The first book I've chosen is Edith's Diary, by the great Patricia Highsmith, possibly her bleakest. It's free to read. If you like it, please share: www.patreon.com/weirdandconf...

Boris effing Johnson was sat at the end of my row. I’m assuming that’s because he wasn’t invited to the premiere.

3 things I loved in films I saw this week: the moment that made me loudly exclaim Oh! in NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE, when Ho reappears in THE FURIOUS, and Penelope Cruz’s pronunciation, in THE INVITE, of the word “boobs”.
