We are - as you may know - planning to do an ALL-NEW Lost Films of Hollywood calendar for 2027 if we get enough interest. There’s a button on lostfilmsbook.store that you can hit to get notified if we get enough interest. I think we need to get about 100 people on there so if you want it to happen…

I just saw my cat find a comfy spot and curl up for a nap and I thought you know what? That’s a great idea and I’m gonna do it too.

My daughter has just told me they do a thing when someone says “Do you know George?” and if they say no they push them in a bush. They call it being George Bushed.

Don’t people buy books on a Friday night any more? What’s wrong with the world! Lostfilmsbook.store Ps. We did the best December movie for the calendar today. As with last year, if you can guess the movie and the star, you’ll get a free calendar* *assuming we finish the thing and it gets funded

Don’t appear to have sold any books today unless the site is broken? Just mentioning it because I imagined there would be a few sales after pay day and it seems weird there aren’t. lostfilmsbook.store

I've hacked up a bit of code that reads the B3ta Starter Pack & finds links, and I'm using it to find snippets of news from the B3ta Diaspora to help populate the newsletter. Who am I missing from this list that a. are on Bluesky and b. are/were b3tans c. make newsletter-ish projects ?

The most ambitious crossover event in history? I think not…
A mashup of gritty urban crime sitcom Only Fools and Horses and Slow Horses called, appropriately enough, Only Fools and Slow Horses.

I spent over two hours photoshopping something last night that ai could have done in 12 seconds and would probably have looked better. Do you ever wonder why you’re bothering any more?

And there it is. After only deciding to do a second run of lostfilmsbook.store last weekend we’ve just taken our 100th order. Thanks to everyone involved from @quantick.bsky.social and myself.
A 100 made out of books.

I know the reprint of the Lost Movies book may have overshadowed this a bit but David and I have done some new posters for a 2027 calendar (one of which I think is the best one we’ve done) and I was wondering…

I think they're a bit hasty just canning all these programmes. They could maybe consider amalgamating two shows together to save some money? Would I Lie About Who You Think You Are… Richard Osmans House of Games Through Time… Race Across the Gardeners World… Antiques World's Most Dangerous Roadshow…
Screenshot of BBC article about the BBC's money worries. Shot of Laura K – looking concerned and furrowed like she does – talking to the DG (who you won't recognise) among some red seats for some reason. Text reads: The BBC should go "in different ways to reach audiences and we're locked into yesterday's model of how people consume content, and actually the audience is always already living in tomorrow's world", he said.

In recent months, the BBC has announced a series of closures of jobs and programmes including Blankety Blank, Celebrity Mastermind, Live At The Apollo and Football Focus, and further cuts are expected.

I just went on threads. It’s full of tech bros going on how ai is “real art actually” which is obvs awful. But somehow worse than that is all the anti-ai reply guys going “I’m a real artist I made this with my real hands” and posting some god awful art underneath it making me feel conflicted frankly

And with that, the book was funded! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped this along. There are still copies available that will be mailed in time to make the perfect Christmas present for your weird uncle at lostfilmsbook.store

Just checked this. The line is quite deceptive actually as quite a few people have bought postcards too. We are actually really close to being funded which is great! Lostfilmsbook.store
