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/popti…

One of these days the person who originally compiled all these clips circa 20 years ago will actually get credited.
Until then we can all enjoy the irony of slop posters calling out Disney for rehashing whilst they rip off someone else's rip off of someone else's rip off, etc.

Saluting historian Kevin Brownlow, who turns 88 today! If you've never seen the 1980 series, Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film, written and directed by Brownlow and David Gill, you can pop over to YouTube and treat yourself! It's amazing.

An absurd concept.
Any lifetime wherein just ONE black and white film has been watched is a life less lived, certainly if you have even the vaguest interest in movies & shiz.

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.

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!!
As a new restoration comes out on disc, we revisit the terror and charm of one of the quintessential Red Scare films, Invaders from Mars. theb.fi/42riPSA

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.

(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).

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....
As Leaving Las Vegas returns three decades on, director Mike Figgis revisits the making of his bruising story of addiction, how he reinvented his career through radical low‑budget filmmaking, and his memories of working with Nicolas Cage on his Oscar-winning performance. theb.fi/3P3xobQ

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...

(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)

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.

The trailer ACME doesn’t want you to see. Coyote vs. ACME. In theaters August 28.

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

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.
Apr 16
I did not know until today that Sid James had acted alongside Chaplin.

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'.
At the end of the Jurassic Park game for Sega CD, Jeff Goldblum had a special message for gamers - 'breath, take a walk, go talk to the member of the opposite sex.' 😭

Gawd - the mind boggles as to exactly what 'universal desire' Donald has in this. (I'm assuming it's mouse related, but who knows...)
Imagine buying this under-the-counter tho?
'Thank you Shop-Keep, your finest orange clad, comic strip duck porn today for me please!' 🤦♂️
