I might aswell throw my hat into the search for a new James Bond - after all, can you see anyone else being able to pull this sort of shiz off so successfully in 2026? Whilst I wait for the phone to ring, listen to this here Bondilicious @Poptique! mixcloud.com/sohoradio/popt…

As I recall, Daleks were shit at stairs n'all.

Happy 100th Birthday to the late great Eric Morecambe, a master of his craft. Yes, this is a blatantly obvious clip, but nonetheless his spot-on line delivery plays in my head virtually every single time a siren goes by. #EricMorecambe #morecambeandwise #EricMorecambe100

@HollyBell8 This happened to a friend of mine at a sports centre with his daughter. The guy wearing the glasses refused to take them off & even tried to get his manager to intervene on his behalf. When she realised his glasses could video she sent him home. Unbelievably entitled and creepy.

Went to our anniversary dinner at a nice restaurant tonight where we were recorded by our server, apparently through his glasses, without our permission for his Instagram channel. As we paid, he showed us his Instagram channel and showed us the video he took and asked if he could post it. We asked him to delete it and if his manager knew he was recording diners. He just said no one else has ever complained. I asked to talk to the manager. Manager seemed to know and asked “if the light was on.” I assume this meant on the glasses indicating he was recording. We noticed no light. He said he would make him remove the glasses, which was how we became aware he was recording with the glasses. Needless to say, I am now a dog with a bone and this is not over.

One of the ultimate 'what's on @BBCTwo / oh what's this? / now an hour or so later I'm feeling slightly scarred going forward' freaky-deak 50s sci-fi favourites from my 80s childhood. Suffice to say I LOVE Invaders from Mars. Nothing quite like it!!

(And my 10 year old went to bed still chuckling about the sea birds that fell out of the trees when he made a particular sound, and we've agreed we'll track down the show that's from in the morning).

Happy 100th Birthday to David Attenborough - who was not looking his age this evening at the @RoyalAlbertHall! It almost goes without saying that there's never been a Broadcaster who's made such an impact on our collective psyche & the certainly never will be again.

Great little interview from #MikeFiggis regarding Leaving Las Vegas. I haven't revisited since I had this on a big box ex-rental VHS because I found the whole thing too upsetting, but tbh this has peaked my interest....

@simon_schama Every time my 10 year old complains about me putting on an Attenborough doc I remind her she has him to thank for Monty Python's Flying Circus (that she loves). And then she loves the documentary aswell. This happens frequently.

Seconded - a brilliant, tranformational Controller of BBC2 (1965-9) and then Director of Programming in the arly 1970s.

@BigDookiana @I_Am_EDB @DiscussingFilm Cleared of all charges : foxnews.com/entertainment/…

@I_Am_EDB @DiscussingFilm She's a scammer. She was living off disability where she said she could no longer act and then got on Yellowstone and kept cashing her disability checks. She's a bit of a money hungry loser.

James Cameron & Disney have been sued by Q’orianka Kilcher for unauthorized use of her likeness as the foundation in Neytiri in ‘AVATAR’. Kilcher alleges that when she was 14, Cameron extracted her facial features from a published photograph and directed his design team to use it as the foundation for Neytiri in ‘Avatar’.

Hmmmmm - certainly makes my old Drunken Master II VCD look like shite.

(A youtube vid is doing the rounds, but the person who made it didn't have the good grace to credit the finder, and flipped the clip to obscure the bug in the corner, so bums to them. This is the original upload tho April 1st might not be the best day to post lost film stuff)

Quite unbelievably, the lost epilogue to #Dracula 1931 has been found & salvaged from a vintage show-at-home 16mm print, by film collector Ray Faiola. It would have originally come with discs to sync up to it - so the audio has been reconstructed... vimeo.com/1179329000

Just love love love the fact that @CoyoteACMEMovie has escaped to see the light of day, as much as I loved my ten year old's double-take at every Looney Tunes cameo in the trailer, especially at the end. We'll be wherever it's showing in the UK come August, bums on seats.

@WardReader @Mag1cH0ur A lot better, but also a lot stranger than it's box art and trailer would suggest (and yup, in was all over EV rental VHS's along with the also ever-present trailer for Zone Troopers and a bunch other usual suspects!)

@Mag1cH0ur Never seen this - but the trailer used to pop on video releases regularly.

THE PARTY ANIMAL was at the Scene in London on this day April 19th, 1985..

A very odd entry into the endless slew of sexed up 80s teen comedies, The Party Animal is still a heckuva lot better than it's poster art suggests. With a fantastic post-punk new wave soundtrack, it's something of a low rent, almost forgotten video shop sub-classic of it's type.

I remember seeing this as a kid on Channel 4, back during the Chaplin centenary and this metaversing of Chaplin & Carry On blew my tiny mind.

@fentonstevens He wasn't even quoting from Tarantino, but his redraft from the opening of the US version of a 1979 Sonny Chiba movie called 'The Bodyguard' (nothing to do with the Witney Houston one, I might add!) - youtube.com/watch?v=G1aYNI…

This is astonishing. Quentin Tarantino has a direct line to the Almighty who is adding bits to the bible through his films. Mysterious ways indeed.

It could have been worse I guess... For example, had he gone rogue that nose could have done a lot of damage.

More video games - and indeed, all forms of digital media & interaction - need to end with the message 'go outside and get the stink blown off you'.
