Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

Exciting news for spooky season! We've worked with the Ultimate Picture Palace in Oxford to programme a season of horror classics under the title HER-STERIA: FEMALE POWERHOUSE PERFORMANCES IN HORROR. From Matilda Lutz to Isabelle Adjani and Olivia de Havilland to Sissy Spacek (and Toni Collette!)

❤️ We were given this gorgeous drawing yesterday by Moeri, along with the sweetest note. As a Japanese exchange student spending a short time in Oxford, they wrote about finding a warm welcome at UPP, a place they felt comfortable, and an atmosphere that reminds them of home.

Once again I’m begging you to stop taking about “discovery” in music apps as if they’re your mates telling you about the cool bands they’re into. It’s a tarball designed to lock you in. Go to gigs and watch the support bands. Listen to the radio. Don’t let these flea monopolise one of life’s joys.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.
A photo of Tony Head with a fan, standing in a barn near a horse. Tumblr post from dracofidus: If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you'd best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we've always had a little contact over the years and he heard I'd come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to "Sarah" and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and look loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Utger and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a massive hug. Waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I was back safe.
