Fun fact: video gaming as a sector is worth more to the UK economy every year than the music and film industries combined in GVA. Maybe it's not your thing, cool, whatever, but you definitely still benefit from the fact other people enjoy it as much as they do and being a snob about it is passé 🤷‍♀️

RIP Robert Benton, on the set of his directorial debut, BAD COMPANY (1972), with star Jeff Bridges. We're proud to represent Benton in the FCE catalog with BAD COMPANY, as fine a debut as any in the American New Wave. Barry Brown's character is based on Benton & Bridges' on co-writer David Newman.

BBC have cancelled Holby, Doctors and now River City, while reducing eps on the likes of Casualty. All these shows, whatever you think of them, are UK centric shows aimed at UK audiences,employing Uk cast / crew. The British Broadcating Corporation is paid for by a UK licence fee (enforced in law)

Rewatched Enemy of the State in honour of Gene Hackman. Loved the blink & you miss it use of Harry Caul’s pic from The Conversation on the NSA computer. In these days of sledge hammer fan service, it was subtle, witty & showed that Tony Scott had great taste in movies.
