Watched #MatchboxTheMovie last night. Silly, derivative but fun nonetheless. Couldn’t stop thinking that if they wanted to make a film about Matchbox cars, why didn’t they just remake The Cannonball Run?

Happy Revolver day! Here’s that source photos image that ended up all over the web uncredited. It was researched by Beatles fan (and great help for my Sgt Pepper source photos project) Sergey Obod. Yay, Sergey!

My pitch would be to normalise releasing old movies at the same level of hype as new movies - I want to see Jaws in my local Vue and I want them to spend Odyssey money promoting it so we're all talking about Jaws (1975), and how it's relevant now, because it's a movie about capitalism will kill you.

How long was it before you spotted it was Tom and Barbara Good, who led a “good” life, and Jerry and Margo Leadbetter, who “led a better” one? Anyway just time to note that if Penelope Keith’s character had been called Hannah, it would have been Tom & Jerry, Hannah & Barbara. RIP Penelope Keith

"We All Stand Together" is one of the dozen or so best melodies of the last eighty years, and the performative distaste for it just shows how people care more for perceptions of coolness than for musical quality.

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

Marcia Lucas stands with George Lucas at an editing machine.

Exciting moment tonight at a horror writers’ panel where it struck me that the “you have to set your story in the past cos of mobile phones” era is over, cos now your phone will lie to you, mislead you, freak you out, let you down, and do all sorts of sinister uncanny shit.

*THREAD* Two of the BBC's most significant and celebrated single dramas are to be repeated in the coming weeks. All-film productions, NEW transfers. In recent past people want to know about that work and it's a great reason to watch something again - but will the press office pull their finger out?

Every artist wishes they could go back in time to deliver a swat to the back of their own head and say, “Don't do that!” None of this is universal, but here is a protips thread of some things I (and many of my peers) would try to stop ourselves from doing.

But choosing only works if you *know* how you want to feel. What if you’re depressed? What if you can’t choose? Can’t summon the will? Then having a huge menu of options isn’t comforting, it’s paralysing. You need something to already be playing.

libro.fm/audiobooks/9... With Stoppard's death it's worth mentioning that you can get the BBC radio versions of pretty much his entire body of work for a single audiobook credit (also available on Audible, but Libro.fm is far better)
