- After posting CMAT's Peter Bogdanovich yesterday, I started thinking about other pop songs related to movies and the first one that popped into my head was Hammer Horror by #KateBush. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR4K...
- Of course Kate had form with this sort of thing. Quoting a line from Night Of The Demon on Hounds Of Love and being inspired by Powell and Pressburger's film for the entire album The Red Shoes.
- So David's been watching movies he knows I'd probably enjoy without me. AGAIN. I don't know how this marriage has lasted. I really don't.
- David @dcairns.bsky.social is on a ladder taping paper cups to the ceiling for Certain Reasons. I forgot he was up there, walked into the hall and got the fright of my life. After I'd recovered my equilibrium I told him I was going to tell everyone what he was up to,
- and people would just go, 'Yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I'd imagine him doing on the daily.'
- #CMAT #PeterBogdanovich Oh my god. I love this woman. I'd like to thank Harry Hill for introducing her to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WAB...
- #HarryHill #CMAT I don't know who CMAT is but she's absolutely lovely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdrM...
- Great post over on FB for all you #ADHD folks out there. Turns out that science has proved we're not so' broken' after all. Then there's a great request. We're asked to describe the worst advice we've ever been given by neurotypical people. Here's mine. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...
- 'I once zoned out during a conversation about a friend's family issues, and when I dropped back into the conversation, I accidentally accused her brother of being a PDF file. Once all the screaming had stopped, I explained that I thought she was talking about a completely different person,
- unrelated to her. I then went on to clarify that the reason that that had happened was because I'd checked out of the convo ADHD stylee and that I was very sorry. Her reaction was, "You MUST tell me when you're zoning out during a conversation!" I tried to explain that I'm not aware when I do this,

- We all owe @rianjohnson.bsky.social a big Thank You. #WakeUpDeadMan is like baby bear's porridge, it's 'just right.' I'm not damning it with faint praise. I mean that sincerely. It's perfect. For years Johnson has been providing us with the benefits of good, old fashioned story telling,
- something that many film directors seem to have forgotten about. And his writing is superb; complex and never condescending. And funny. And moving. I cried at the end. So thank you Rian. I'd still like to see you do a full on 😱🎥 though. You've certainly got it in you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1zy...
- #TheElephantMan #DavidLynch #FreddieJones There's a thing going around other sm platforms where you pick your favourite line delivery from a movie. This is one of my favourites (shame about the colourisation). Thanks to @faceyouhate.bsky.social for the info. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC1e...
- Another edit session on the Mysterious Next Project over. It will be the most comprehensive look at this as yet unamed film ever commited to 4K. I was up recording VO until 4am today. I was so knackered I collapsed into bed with all my clothes on. Now we're going to have pizza and #WakeUpDeadMan.
- My version of @thatsnotmyage.bsky.social merch. Thanks for the inspo Alyson.
