TLJ in No Country gives a master class in acting, IMHO. And, re 19, I didn’t like it when it came out, but the words hit home, especially when I worked out that my own father had been 19 when he was called up in 1941. Nothing changes.
"This article was amended on 29 May 2024. An earlier version described Spurlock’s moustache as “handlebar”. It has also been described as “horseshoe”. Spurlock himself used the term “handlebar” in a 2012 piece for the Guardian. For the avoidance of dispute the word “handlebar” has been removed."
Some people have way too much time on their hands.
I would agree except that when I was writing my book I spent a not-insignificant amount of time on the Gillette website figuring out what style of beard R Kelly has in the "Ignition" video. It's a minefield out there.
also i find the ‘i was really fucked up but overcame it’ books really weird as a year or so later there is another one by the same author- so what is the point? B Gordon a case in point. Seems like a decent & well meaning woman but i’m not convinced- also her husband must be an absolute saint
Last week I spent an enjoyable if slightly pointless time digitising some of my ancient vinyl collection. Things I’d forgotten about included Paul Hardcastle’s single “40 Years” released in 1988. Given current geopolitics, I too am not sure what I think about a song pondering whether the world will exist in [gulp] 2028.

Right? Everyone in No Country is so, so good - tight, contained, telling the story with every gesture.
Yes, it’s a beautifully shot movie, and scary too! ;-)

did you listen to bat pod 216 with Emmet Rensin - really harrowing but excellent
