Issy Flower

*WRITING/ACTING/DIRECTING PROJECTS THREAD* (covering journalism, writing, acting, directing, short fiction.... but not all at once)

A public thank you to Issy Flower for completing our Prisoner book with her Checkmate chapter. She explores how individual achievements in the 60s required collective efforts. She examines 'Main Character Syndrome' in a series battling to be different within ITC action-adventure.

@FrancesPatano I'm pretty sure I posted this specific screenshot as a gif on Tumblr long ago; the princess bride remains the greatest romance with the funniest lines, perfectly directed by Rob.

The best to ever do it.

THE TOMORROW PEOPLE (1973) may have been produced on an ultra-low budget, but it threw up some of the weirdest, trippiest visuals ever.

Anthony Newley: appeared in 50 films; a string of pop hits including two Number 1s; an influence for David Bowie; provided lyrics for a host of other pop stars; a Grammy Award for 'What Kind of Fool Am I?'; nominated for an Oscar; provided lyrics for Goldfinger's title song...

Raise a glass of, erm, 'claret' to the TV horror of the Scarred For Life era...

@ChrisChapman81 Thanks Chris!

@Issyflower Glad you're excited. Sadly isolated music doesn't exist for Narnia - as far as I know.

NEWS: the BBC are releasing their classic series THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA on bluray. I've been busy making an epic new feature length doc, with contributions from nearly 30 of the cast & crew, including ALL the young stars! Out in Nov, pre-order here: amzn.eu/d/9Z2aFdI

@birdofmytongue_ i love that you're Twitter famous for Love Island

Oop The Scum found this and wrote about it lmao. Anyway, trans rights, free Palestine, abortion is healthcare and fuck Farage ✌️

Hear me out: the producers brought back the baby challenge for like 10 minutes just to prompt a conversation between yas and jamie wanting different things because they don’t want them to win #loveislanduk #LoveIsland

@Joshstrangehill Pretty much anything American- as a small UK-based child, the amount of things which turned out to be real is nuts (especially catsup)

Simpsons references can be obscure For this we actually had to do research - in pre-internet days - to write the joke (& find delightfully obscure sounding civilization that in some way prized hydro engineering) What's a Simpsons joke that sent you down a reference rabbit hole?

@HollywoodHandle @DanielRPK Kiefer!

Ralph Fiennes is reportedly in talks to play Coriolanus Snow in 'THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING.’ (Via: @DanielRPK)

Oh the horror of a Richard carpenter script spoken by a man who couldn't act his way out of a paper bag

Obsessed w how Alan Tracy from 2004 thunderbird is nominated for an oscar...

remember when robbie williams analysed the lyrics to rock dj

But also thank you itvx for letting me watch phillip madoc shoot peter vaughan in hd with the hand intro at any given point!

Also BC it's a shame no one can interview Gerald harper for a Blu-ray edition that this point, but if they could I hope they know there's enough people who'd love it

I watch the champions in HD. I long for Adam adamant lives in HD. This is not possible, and yet...

everyone on the roger moore documentary acting as if Rog did the opening ski jump in spy who loved me: "it was amazing how he jumped off that cliff! Standing ovation! It was definitely him- no one else is mentioned as having done it in the opening credits, that's for certain!"

If anyone's selling a @gallycab ticket please get in touch!!

@fin_lay24 It's giving star wars episode 9, so take that as you will

Btw chums I should warn you that I plan to run this 'Matthew Sweet Speaks!' joke into the ground. Just so you know

'On the surface, this unassuming five-piece from Oxford seems an unlikely vessel for geopolitical debate. Their oeuvre is more a study in societal alienation and existential dread than anthems of political clarity.'
