Last week one of my students asked me to name two favourite bands I had seen live that I would want to see again. I thought… I then named Duke Special and The Wannadies. Yesterday both announced gigs near me. Were they listening???

A reason for never watching ads on tv again. Saturday morning ads - 1020am - included ‘life insurance’, ‘will writing’ and ‘cancer diagnosis’. Joy.

Been down the Seth Holt rabbit hole, now onto the Don Chaffey train. Two very underrated filmmakers who were troubled by the booze.

Cat & Dog have not let me sleep. I am so tired. Cat spent most of the night meowing to tell me he had done a poo in his litter tray! Dog has been up and down the stairs wanting to wander after the Cat and then jump all over me, presumably to tell me about the poos. Welcome to the weekend. I’m done.

Talking it through with my pal, we reckon that because X is such a cesspool, and you can’t ‘tweet’ anymore that we should reboot Twitter… …But call it Trotter, and the messages are called Rodneys. Also, you can only Rodney about Only Fools and Horses. Thems the rules.

I’ve been watching a bunch of films this December that feel like glorious magic tricks - which is what cinema should be about. I’ve also watched a bunch of shit.

Maybe I was in the wrong mood for it, but the episode of Pluribus I watched last night (could’ve been ep 5 or 6) bored the pants off me and has made me contemplate not bothering to finish it.

I’ve realised, again, how much I dislike Christmas.

Peter Hearn @hearnesque.bsky.social · 25/12/2025
I’m confused as to what constitutes a Christmas movie these days. If Die Hard isn’t, despite being set at Christmas, having Santa related tomfoolery etc, then a sadistic child taking out two crooks at Christmas can’t be one either.

On the set of Ealing’s The Ladykillers from 1955. My favourite film ever. 70 years old this week. Starring Katie Johnson, Alec Guinness, and my personal fave, Danny Green.

Lovely tribute to The Lady Killers but what's striking is how much better almost everything looks today. www.bfi.org.uk/features/70-...

70 years of The Ladykillers: how the locations look today
As the classic Ealing comedy turns 70, we went walking around King’s Cross to see whether Alec Guinness and his motley band of robbers would recognise it today.

I watched The Ladykillers (1955) two days ago not realising at the time I was watching it on its 70th birthday. Spooky. Love this movie. Amazing.

I told one of my students to watch 1967’s musical comedy Smashing Time with Rita Tushingham and Lynn Redgrave. She did, and then created some amazing fan art.

My dog has just barked at a unknown ball in the garden like a baby, my cat has just done the stinkiest poop in the litter tray and woken the house house with his wail to tell us. It is 1am, by the time i get back to bed the cat and dog are both sat on bed, forcing me to sleep around them both. FML.
