In 2016 I spotted Glenda Jackson with bags of shopping waiting for a bus from Lewisham to Blackheath. I told her how much her work meant to me, and asked if she would be interested in doing a Q&A at a volunteer-run cinema. To my amazement, she gave me her phone number...

my first view of Joan Micklin Silver's HESTER STREET (1975)—on 16mm—at Austrian Filmmuseum, Vienna last night. Is there any film which starts so messily and ends so delightfully? (what a freeze-frame!) Only clicks into gear when Carol Kane belatedly shows up in the second reel.

If you're old enough to have passed through an art-house movie theatre or the foreign section of a video store in the early-to-mid 2000s, you'll know that this little fucker was everywhere.

Today, a 5 year old child in Lebanon will have known 2 wars and possibly been forced to flee their home twice. “Long after the bombs stop, the children of Lebanon will still be reeling from the psychological impact of the multiple conflicts that they’ve experienced.” link.nbcnews.com/view/69a0d037f…

@tonywendice1954 I suppose that’s why he sat out of Godfather 3. He saw himself the equal of Pacino (of course he was) and insisted on being paid accordingly.
