Every time I walk down Oxford Street feels like an exercise in forgetting what - until recently - London was. The Arabic caterwauling. The waft of dope. The pimped cars. The Gulf vibe. The women in niqabs. The tat shops. A place of foregone grandeur and an irrecoverable England.

@maitlis I don’t know if anybody has asked you this, but during your time with Andrew, did he, at any point, glance down at your shoes?

We had an official complaint from a lovely gentleman about this billboard. He claimed he'd seen it in a station and was absolutely disgusted and demanded it be taken down. We explained it was never up. Sometimes the complaints will be false.

James Cameron on how this scene in 'Wait Until Dark' (1967) made the audience SCREAM like little girls: "The most visceral audience reaction moment I remember from my early film-going years is the jump-scare in 'Wait Until Dark' (1967). People can talk about 'Alien' (1979) or 'Psycho' (1960) or whatever all day long, but the scene that I vividly remember truly rocking the house was when Alan Arkin, the ki!!er — presumed by the audience to be dead — leaps out of the dark and grabs poor blind Audrey Hepburn’s ankle. Of course, there’s a now-classic music sting — a single massive strum of piano strings that felt like an electric shock up the spine. The entire audience lost their sh!t — slammed back in their seats and SCREAMED like little girls — myself included. It was physical, involuntary, universal and perfectly synchronised. And the first time I really understood the visceral power of cinema. It was at the Princess Theatre in Niagara Falls, Canada, in probably 1968 — the film was released in 1967 but Canada was always an afterthought. I was 14. Of course, when you see it now it seems tame compared to all that’s been done in the half-century since, though still to be admired in the way the tension quietly winds tighter and tighter until the sting. Interestingly, I saw the film a year later at the drive-in, and remember clearly the muffled screams coming from all the cars."

Being so long before my time, it's so hard to connect with the fact that nighttime in London was once a genuinely safe place to be. 1960s 💔⏳️

Zia Yusuf really is a despicable piece of shit. Thick, moronic racist mouthpiece so far up Farage’s arse he’s poking out of his left nostril. @WilfredFrost brilliantly showcased Reform’s racist policies by giving Yusuf the chance to make himself look like the arrogant fuck he is

Making roti canai to go with tonight’s supper. Who found the magic created when just flour & water are combined, rested, stretched to see through, pleated & then coiled. Then thought, I’ll flatten these and cook them? Because that’s genius right there.

@SmithersJone5 @Jaswanarth @ColinBrazierTV So fucking what?? You’re seeing a selection of certain commercials bunched together. Look at all adverts produced in the past year and you’ll see something quite different. NOBODY has pissed in your pint. Grow the fuck up.

Today we learned that half of all adverts feature black people, although they represent only 4 per cent of the population. Yesterday I sat in a medical facility where not a single poster (of many) depicted a white man. Social engineering, pure and simple. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Goldeneye seems to get all of the love when people talk about the Brosnan era. So my question is, what does Goldeneye have that his other three films don’t?
