Goodbye my friend

What can be said about David Lynch that hasn’t already been captured in countless tributes by fans and filmmakers? A director of singular vision, defined by his magical style and fascinating ambiguities. Though his work is one of a kind, he has inspired many to pick up a camera. While my work may not seem particularly "Lynchian," his influence always looms large. One transition in Blue Velvet — Frank Booth disappearing from frame before a wild nighttime trip with yellow road markings whizzing by — buzzes in my brain forever. In 2011, I had a glorious encounter with the man himself. At the time, I was programming films at the New Beverly Cinema for a season called "The Wright Stuff," curating dream double bills and arranging guest discussions. One night, we screened ‘Wild at Heart’ and ‘True Romance’. I had already convinced the late producer Steve Golin to join for the first film, and, through a mutual friend, invited Laura Dern too. She agreed but warned she might not make it, as she was coming straight from an event. Steve and I introduced the film and waited to see if Laura would arrive. As the credits rolled, my publicist Greg Longstreet tapped me on the shoulder: “Laura’s coming,” he said. Relieved, I got onstage for the Q&A. As the curtain to the backstage rustled, I announced to the unsuspecting audience: “Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Laura Dern!” The audience erupted as she walked through the curtain. Thrilled, I said, “This is a great surprise. I wasn’t sure you’d make it!” Laura smiled and replied, “Well, I have a surprise for you. I brought someone else who worked on the movie.” Then, stepping through the curtain, was David Lynch. The resulting standing ovation felt endless, as if the Wizard of Oz himself had materialized. The only downside? I wasn’t ready to interview David Fucking Lynch. I stumbled through my first question, but he was kind and gracious. While he avoided explaining the film (rightly so), he spoke generously about film and the preservation of cinema . His presence was otherworldly, yet down-to-earth. That memory of him stepping through the curtain will stay with me forever. David may be gone, but his work will be eternal.

We at @WildJustice_org want the UK to be a better place for wildlife and people and we believe that is possible - but only if we act decisively and rapidly to put an end to destructive practices . . . please take a couple of minutes to sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7000…

With over 55 years on this planet i have come to the realisation that i may never see a performance as great as @RichardEGrant in Withnail & I. I have to say that i am very happy with that, as it is, quite simply, perfection.

Fox hunting continues . It’s illegal . Please listen to this and honour your promise @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @AngelaRayner @SteveReedMP . . . this sickening savagery has to end . Soon please . . .

Ever wondered how Electric Six would go down in a Victorian drawing room? This is bordering on genius, in my humble opinion. Good day to you.

Happy 25th Anniversary to those who remember...

Beyond arrogant - BSV riders standing on point in the middle of a main road and making traffic go around them while they wait for a terrified fox to run out. With @DorsetMonitor

Ralph Fiennes reenacted the “very demure, very mindful” meme - and it’s the best thing to happen tonight, next to Anderson Cooper’s reaction.

The mighty Bernard Cribbins would have been 96 today. Actor, entertainer, storyteller par excellence, angler, bona fide national treasure, double Dr Who companion (!) and the nicest person you could ever wish to sit down and help write an autobiography. God bless him!

The new milk tray advert. @nancy_sorrell

The Cottesmore Hunt has quad-bikes with terriers in them for driving a fox that’s gone to earth back to the surface . Why on Earth would they need terriers if they’re really just following a trail ? @MeganMcCubbin | @NhantsHuntsabs | #RealBanNow

I only subscribe to three mags and @vizcomic brings me the most joy . Here’s a taster of their Feb 25 (yeah , must be part of the joke) edition about Garden Birds . I could post the rest but then you could subscribe for a year of hilarity here . viz.co.uk/#

Today we celebrate Boxing Day in the UK, so named because cats spend the day exploring empty boxes discarded from Christmas Day* *This may not be true
