@GothLover @hairygit Yes, his attitude is daunting. "Teasingly obscure" is a great description.

I was going to start my re-read of “The Golden Bowl” tomorrow, but I’m sure old Henry wouldn’t mind if I were to slip in a quick Wodehouse first.
English
@ghobubo I’m both a Wodehouse fan *and* a James fan!

THE OLD LADIES @finborough @Oldladies2026 has three cracking performances , a very terrifying Abigail Thaw, and a finely musty retro attitude to septuagenarian women before the days of Streep & Wintour... Rvw up, theatrecat.com

@paul_jkrause The ghostly cat in "The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral" by MR James.

Wagner’s #Siegfried! Bloody hell! Utterly exhausting just listening to it - it’s like listening to three Mahler symphonies in succession! No idea how the orchestra, conductor & singers can maintain such levels of concentration: I was just listening to it & I’m knackered.

@hairygit @Dostoevskyquot The first Russian novel I read, at age 17, was Gogol’s Dead Souls’, oddly enough because it had been recommended on the radio by Irene Handl.
English
@Dostoevskyquot I think we can all list the major authors and the major works. I’d say just dive in anywhere, and see how it goes.

@nguyenhdi John Donne for me, every time! Milton is, of course, a great poet, and I loved Spencer’s Faerie Queen at uni all those decades ago.
English
@hairygit @ThatBobMadison My favourite too, I think! David Warner and the mirror....aaagh!
English
@ThatBobMadison I love those Amicus compilation films. Dr Terror’s House of Horrors is, I agree, a really good one, but From Beyond the Grave is perhaps my favourite.
English
Dr. Terror's House of Horrors is a really good movie.

Christopher Lee, Roy Castle, Donald Sutherland, Alan Freeman & Neil McCallum with Peter Cushing as Dr Schrek/Terror reach the end of the line in Dr Terror’s House of Horrors (1965)

I can't help feeling that someone who is unable to cope with the stress of a job interview, might not be the best candidate for a job at a leading hospital, but what do I know. mol.im/a/15617803

@GothLover Thanks, Sue. The illustration is my homage to Stephen Jones' front cover for the first issue back in 1979.

Returned home late to find something ghostly waiting for me... Very proud to have contributed a new story, a review, and the back cover art, and to find myself in VERY good company in the pages of the final issue of the legendary Ghosts & Scholars.

@lib_thinks @ArtsTheatreCamb Excellent revival of Coward's play. Shame about the disappointingly uncomfortable, cramped rows of seats in the stalls following the 'refurbishment' of a once user-friendly theatre. Can anything be done?
English
EASY VIRTUE is nicely paradoxical title for Coward’s tale of a bird of paradise in a Surrey hencoop.. @ArtsTheatreCamb Rvw up now theatrecat.com

@hairygit @davidcinema 'Truly Madly Deeply' is a great favourite of mine, and, in an off-the-wall, slightly bizarre way, I like 'Hoffman' with Peter Sellers.
English
@davidcinema “Casablanca”, where the lovers eventually decide that their love doesn’t really amount to much in the wider scheme of things. And if that ain’t romantic, I don’t know what is.
English
A great many posts on Wuthering Heights recently. The film I’m frankly not interested in, but the novel I’ve long held dear, & I’m quite astonished by the number of people who think it “unreadable”. It may not be to one’s taste, which is fair enough - but “unreadable”?

@nguyenhdi @hairygit I'm planning to re-watch before making a final assessment. Having toured the US South, where we learned a lot about the evolution of black music, I certainly loved that aspect.
English
@GothLover @hairygit Well, it's made by the director of "Black Panther".
I think the vampire concept would be fine if that's all they did. The problem is that the first 40 minutes build up to something else, then they also have the KKK plot. It's all a mess.
English
@hairygit @nguyenhdi I enjoyed it, but did wonder whether it needed vampire action. And I usually love vampires and supernatural stuff.
English
@nguyenhdi Says a lot about the state of mainstream cinema, I'd have thought.
English
@NicolasBarlow It’s a homage to J.B.Priestley’s classic play, An Inspector Calls, and is separate from the main TA drama, although featuring some of the characters. I think it’s a brilliant riff, dealing with moral responsibility and hypocrisy, as I’ve said in another tweet.
English
These police 'interviews' are so intimidating, contrived, rushed and incredibly annoying. This one-off drama is very poor and not a patch on the main serial. We'll be waiting weeks for the culprit to be revealed making these 'interviews' pointless. Very poor Radio 4 #thearchers
English
@EOTierney Are we meant to think these are real interviews - ‘imagined’ ? And that the entire village was dragged in asap to be grilled by the Top Dog? #thearchers
English
These rambling cod police interviews and the panicked family search for Kiera are really poor, sensationalised and unrealistic.
