Just watched the video. Decent enough song, but certainly nothing exceptional and hardly worth a feature in Rolling Stone.

#Frankenstein #cartoon by Bruce Ackerman (1935-2025), originally published in the March 1973 edition of the glamour magazine Gallery. #horror #humour

A crowd gathers around a man who is lying on the pavement. Frankenstein approaches, perched upon the shoulder of his famous creation: "Let me through, please! I'm a doctor."

I suspect there are a few fans of Jeremy Brett's television iteration who would raise a quibble.

A radiant actress. It Happened One Night remains one of my all-time favourite comedies.

Just received previews of my contributions to Yours Retro #105, due to hit British supermarkets and newsstands on 22 September: an overview of the off-screen relationship between the Godfather trilogy’s central couple, Diane Keaton & Al Pacino, and a portrait of legendary comic actor Stanley Baxter.

In which case, don't scam consumers by using any other phrase than 'rent'. Telling folks they are *buying* games and films will clearly leave them with an impression of ownership, as will referring to their "library". Meanwhile, my books, movies and other physical media sit happily on their shelves.

People are reportedly killing themselves – and others, including police officers – by driving into incoming traffic on major roads, all to gain attention on social media platforms. This society is truly insane.

House of Hammer editor Dez Skinn wasn't wrong in that prediction. #StarWars #movies

I wouldn't worry, I doubt you'll be the only one.

Looks like an old-fashioned variety hall bill from the 1950s or 1960s. Something for every taste. @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

Currently working on a profile of #actor and comedian Stanley Baxter, scheduled to see print in September; a troubled and often tragic life, intertwined with great success on stage and #television. Meanwhile, Yours Retro #103 is out on 30 July, with my feature on #comedy duo Mike & Bernie Winters.

It’s no possible concern of mine and maybe I’m just getting too old for this current culture, but the phrases “secretive ceremony“ and “at Madison Square Garden“ don’t strike me as an obvious fit.

Research for another magazine commission, this time concerning Al Pacino’s relationship with Diane Keaton. No doubt I could construct an article out of online gossip, hearsay and other #journalists’ conjecturing, but I always prefer the actual thoughts and memories of those present in the narrative.

Then Again (2011) by Diane Keaton; Sonny Boy (2024) by Al Pacino.

With respect, Powell's views on immigration policy are irrelevant to my view on Starmer's genuinely baffling inability to make use of a huge (albeit shallow) Parliamentary majority. That said, Burnham's history of U-turns makes it difficult to know where to set the bar for his own time in office.

Steve Green @stevegreen.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

The quote came from Powell, so why pretend otherwise? Starmer's premiership stumbled virtually from day one. Again, why pretend otherwise?

A shrewd historian, Enoch Powell once suggested -- with rare exceptions (early death or a well-timed exit) -- all political lives end in failure. Keir Starmer took that axiom further: his reign in Downing Street also began in failure.
