Never Say Never Again on TV. It uses such soft focus I thought maybe I needed to be checked for cataracts.

The government must treat this as the emergency it is. Our sovereignty, democracy, and the lives of some of those who live here are threatened by a deadly combination of US billionaires, Russian interests and homegrown fascists.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Being a working class screenwriter in 2026 is like trying to get a prize with one of those claw-grabber machines. With both hands tied behind your back. And you’re naked for some reason. And being forced to watch independently wealthy screenwriters being shown into the VIP room.

Wuthering Heights (2026) goes into the collection of recent films etc that have one big thematic thing that the creator has to absolutely *nail* to make everything make sense and then they decide not to, but apparently I’m not meant to care because aren’t we all having a marvellous pretty time?

People always complain that in You’ve Got Mail Tom Hanks is creepy for manipulating Meg Ryan over email because she doesn’t know it’s him. But in Sleepless In Seattle she hires a literal private detective to stalk him, so I reckon they’re even. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Another in the ‘stubborn maniac’ category here. Currently in that juicy juicy sweet spot of not earning enough from writing to go full time AND the day job being so numbingly exhausting that self-promotion feels profane.

This is a brilliant, thorough and truthful bit of writing, as you’d expect from @littlemaddles.bsky.social. Someone is making a penny, as they say, and the arts needs to have a hard look at itself, 25 years into a lunatic experiment in impoverishing creators. open.substack.com/pub/madelein...

Airbnb I stayed in at the weekend had a great roof window right above my bed that gave a fantastic view of the Moon and Jupiter. We’re all cosmic miracles of circumstance yet there is so much suffering caused by a handful of pathetic, tiny, incurious men in search of ‘power’.

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

Well, I for one thought the #Strangerthings finale was great, and I tip my writing hat to the Duffer brothers. What they did to make S1 such a perfect show is nigh on impossible but to then have the creative juice to stretch it into such an epic over 5 seasons is just extraordinary. Bravo.
