I’m in the Guardian today with an article about the passionate campaign to renew Our Flag Means Death and how these fan led campaigns are getting bigger and more elaborate - billboards, plane flyovers… you name it. #OurFlagMeansDeath #RenewAsACrew www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Our Flag Means Death was cancelled. Its fans are fighting back: ‘Unhinged – in a good way’

A campaign to save the Taika Waititi show has bought billboards, hired planes and raised tens of thousands of dollars. It’s the latest flex from TV fandoms – but it doesn’t always work

Dunno know why I just thought of this, but one of my fondest memories of the Edinburgh Fringe was when I got drunk on absinthe the night before and then went off on some poor artist who made the mistake of shoving a flyer in my face and shouting. Friends thought I was about to start a brawl.

Hitchcock's SECRET AGENT (1936) is really a wild film. John Gielgud and Peter Lorre as the Abbott and Costello of espionage. Overly elaborate plot involving chocolate. 2/3s of the film playing like a screwball comedy, punctuated suddenly by murder. It deserves to be seen more.

I’m not sure a gay woman has ever been allowed to be as hot in a mainstream movie as Kate MacKinnon was in GHOSTBUSTERS (2016), especially this scene:

Stunning development in scholarly publishing. NYPL will be digitizing "entire out-of-print backlists" of multiple academic presses and making them available. The Scholarly Press Backlist Revival project shows a striking thoughtfulness in overcoming perceived and real IP and contractual barriers.

My fave thing about getting a new tattoo is seeing it and briefly going "OMG, whose tattoo is that?!" Mine. It's my tattoo.

Yeah, I'm fucking gutted by the OFMD cancellation, not least because it seems very pointless since it was an actually popular and critically acclaimed show. But also they can't take it away from me, so fuck you too, HBO. citizendamepod.com/wherever-you...

MISSISSIPPI MASALA is a wonderful film about race and culture and belonging and love and I am sorry but I was too distracted by how fucking hot young Denzel Washington was.

Hitchcock also called people who nitpicked things for being unrealistic "the plausibles": "Let's be logical. If you're going to analyze everything in terms of plausibility and credibility, then no fiction film can stand up to that approach, and you wind up with a documentary."

In 1956 Wendy Toye was nominated for a Live Action Short Oscar for ON THE TWELFTH DAY, which takes “The 12 Days of Christmas” to its literal ends. If you're in UK it's worth renting the restored HD version for £1 on BFIPlayer, it's so detailed, but for those of us outside… youtu.be/LvcToNJMjvU?...

My main problem with musicals of the 1950s is the preponderance of Gene Kelly. Can't avoid the sonofabitch.
