Spent my morning listening to this. Hodges was an extraordinary director who resisted being pigeon-holed and so never became establishment. Found myself quite moved by his concerns for his legacy and the frustrations over his final unfinished film. Definitely picking up the book.

This is fantastic. Thank you (just a tiny note, there’s a typo in para 6 where Don is repeated and I think it should read Gal).

It’s weird how people who insist on what they call a biological definition of sex in terms of how they treat trans people seem to ignore the fact that the brain is a biological reality which has something to say about gender identity.

One of the Moroccan messenger boys got his name wrong and so for the rest of the shoot he was known to the crew as Seamus Canary.

Having listened since day one when I hoped you’d make ten because it was so good, and it having soundtracked much of the last four or five years- mostly in the studio- I hope it goes for at least another 300. It’s an education.

I’m at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival and watched last night Don Q Son of Zorro. I’m seriously thinking of taking up smoking so I can practice some of the tricks Fairbanks does with a ciggy. Surely Raiders of the Lost Ark was inspired by this film.

Hannah Arendt defined totalitarianism as “organized loneliness”. I can’t think of a better definition of what AI and chat bots want to push us into, financed and designed by literal totalitarians

His work with Lila Wertmuller and Visconti… I think he’s up there with Italian screen actors, Mastroianni and Volonté.

Try & explain today that one of the most popular 70/80s tv comedies had a theme song called “Suicide is Painless”; was set during the Korean War (but really Vietnam) & had an episode where the main character was traumatized after witnessing a woman kill her baby so the cries didn’t attract attention
