No idea who Hurley & picked this up on a whim in a 2nd hand bookshop in Helsinki. Now my holiday read. Hundred pages in, a wonderful & quite gripping historical potboiler. Reminds me a little, in tone & prose style, of Alan Furst’s spy novels. Anyone one read more of Hurley’s ‘Spoils of War’ series?

What the hell has got into the culture that someone thinks they can sit in a resturant - or any public space for that matter- and subject everyone around them to conversation on the loud speaker of their mobile??

A great list. Happy to see it includes John MacKenzie’s UNMAN, WITTERING AND ZIGO (1971) and Jules Dassin’s UPTIGHT (1968), both of which I wrote about for @sightsoundmag.bsky.social ‘s Lost and Found column several years ago, amongst many other good films.

I really dig the intensely analogue texture and feel of German artist Johnny Bruck’s science fiction illustration and am a bit perplexed that he is not better known.

Yes, that is indeed a shame. His work was very niche though. I only know him due to his work for #perryrhodan.

Spotted in a Berlin flea market on the weekend. An LP record of a German horror play. I think it translates as ‘Countess Dracula, Daughter of the Evil One’. There was a whole series of these and they are highly collectable.

Happy Maurice Jarre's birthday! Let's celebrate with one of the great match cuts in cinema history paired with one of the great themes in film score history. A score written in just six weeks by Jarre (1924-2009) who was David Leans's THIRD composer choice! Goosebumps, every time. #filmsky #moviesky

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) - The Match Cut
This is the famous match cut from LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) directed by David Lean - followed by the segue to the desert and the sweeping main theme by Maurice Jarre

Jacques Deray’s THE OUTSIDE MAN (1972). A French hitman is sent to LA to kill a crime boss & then betrayed. Jean-Louis Trintignant is solid as a Euro cult Parker, backed up by great supporting cast. Strong parallels with Boorman’s POINT BLANK, including a great outsiders eye on American culture.
