WINTER, new drama on 9pm Weds 30th ITV1 & ITVx. The show that's been keeping me in Maoams this year. Story of the week plus serial murder story and sexy leads. Tune in if you like this kind of thing, because if you like this kind of thing, you'll like it.

Westerns & the Old West @davidlambertart.bsky.social · 06/01/2025
We all know that Westerns aren't accurate representations of Old West history. Having said that, some Westerns go so far as to take historical events & have the characters do the exact opposite of what they did in reality. Here's a🧵 of some examples* *Read alt text before commenting
This is not a judgment on the artistic merits of these films. I don't want to sound mean, but I will block anyone who gets upset about pointing out historical inaccuracies in works of fiction. This will be better for the both of us, because you are not going to have a good time on my page. And yes, I've seen The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance & am well aware of the "print the legend" line. You don't need to post it in the comments. 

Anyway, sorry if that sounded too negative. Cheers! 🤠🍻🤠 & God bless 🙏

0062 The car threat was actually multiple. The fixed frame allows what I assume is a composite shot, but the change of angle and the cars acting as reflections of the lights from the buildings are what make it. Nomi is saved today, again and again and again. #ShowgirlsAShotADay #Showgirls

Risotto is great partly because it’s one of those dishes which is both simple (rice and chicken stock) and quite complicated (achieving a good balance of flavours *and* textures).

Very interesting doc on counter culture with Stewart Lee just now on R4. Like the record store stuff he's done on Instagram recently, Lee's an excellent guide. This sort of stuff is almost entirely missing from TV 'these days', and getting rarer on radio. Good stuff. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The recently released Michael Jackson movie has overtaken Oppenheimer as the highest-grossing biopic of all time. Critics likened ‘Michael’ to the 1988 Comic Strip film about Arthur Scargill, The Strike, due to both having highly fictionalised portrayals of their time with miners. #BTNNB #BTNRejects
