It was #onthis#day in 1968 that 2001 premiered in Washington DC. To commemorate the anniversary here's Stanley Kubrick auditioning for the role of Danny The Dealer in Withnail & I: "It's horrible really but they like that, the little girls. So we're gonna make one that shits itself as well..."

I could be a lawyer with stratagems and ruses/ I could be a doctor with poultices and bruises/ I could be a writer with a growing reputation/ I could be the ticket man at Fulham Broadway Station - Ian Dury (12 May 1942 – 27 March 2000)

Farewell, Matt Clark - terrific in everything from Buckaroo Banzai and Brubaker to The Culpepper Cattle Co. and The Terminal Man, but particularly good as the doomed JW Bell in Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid.

Just heard the sad news about Jane Lapotaire. She was wonderful in so many things, and particularly good as Gene Hackman's spirited wife in Nic Roeg's Eureka.

Geoffrey Hayes of Rainbow fame was born #onthisday in 1942. Before he moved in with George, Bungle and Zippy, he delivered a propeller to David Hemmings in Antonioni's Blow-Up. That's him on the right.

On the occasion of Tom Courtenay's birthday, I'd like to speak up for the superb BBC series The North Water, starring Jack O'Connell, Stephen Graham, Colin Farrell, Peter Mullan, Sam Spruell and Sir Tom. Hugely underrated, this tale of life aboard a Yorkshire whaling vessel... /1 #tomcourtenay

Zab: That's my book. Kaiser: Your book? Zab: Yeah. Kaiser: What do you mean, 'your book'? I got this from the Repple-Depple in St-Lo. Zab: I wrote it, baby face. Farewell, Robert Carradine - and thank you for summing up the thrill of being a writer in Samuel Fuller's The Big Red One.

A little more on the Peckinpah front: Having been writing about Sam Peckinpah since 1997, I'm surprised how I still find myself with so much to say about the director and his pictures. However, if you'll indulge me, I'd like to trot out an old anecdote about one of the... /1 #SamPeckinpah

Had a shock watching Nigel Kneale's supernatural drama Murrain when I realised the mad woman in the cottage is none other than Una Brandon-Jones, aka Mrs Parkin, the mad woman in the cottage in Withnail & I! If only someone had pointed out that they weren't from London...

Many happy returns, Matt Salinger - small-screen Captain America and son of JD.

Bye bye, Bud Cort - excellent in so many things but awesomely odious as the corrupt restaurant manager in Michael Mann's Heat. Unbilled, too. #BudCort

Dennis Hopper on his friend and mentor James Dean who died #onthisday in 1954: Working with Jimmy was incredible. He had real dynamite - no one else had his power. He could literally do Hamlet standing on his head. After he died, I got fired from a movie because I had an argument... /1 #JamesDean

Remarkable the things you stumble upon. I mean, I knew Leaving Las Vegas author John O'Brien didn't live to see his novel adapted for the big screen. However, what I wasn't aware of was that, in 1992, O'Brien wrote an episode of Nickelodeon's Rugrats!
