For big projects I always call them "First Final".

Love the spitting.

Tomorrow's nipple is locked and loaded.

Kubrick's rube.

Marvel are doing an Andor comic set between the end of Andor and the start of Rogue One. Mate. Let him go.

I wrote a story years ago about government-run privacy booths that allowed 15 minutes per person. Naturally they were bugged to high heaven.

Imma tell my kids the Gosling Cyclops sketch was a damning critique of Donald Trump's foreign policies.

1966: The Avengers – The House That Jack Built
Perhaps the most outstandingly ’60s-look in all ’60s TV
Its 60th anniversary this week
Superb, super-stylish psychological drama
Mrs Peel alone in a whited sepulchre
But life-affirming for all that
One of the strongest contenders for The Avengers’ best.

Film criticism meta is to say that films that are basically fine are actually the worst things ever made; then five years later write breathless pieces about them being underrated classics.

My Vague? Nouvelle.

A Bout de Souffle's quite good.

A modestly sized cinema screen showing the words CLOSE-UP in white on a black background.

Out out.

Morning.

Pivoting to hay-blown dirigible.

Would it be weird to brush someone else's cat?

A poster allowing a model whose clothes look just enough like the ones Q wears in Star Trek for this joke to work.

Enough of your games, Q!

I forget. Which is probably not a good sign.

I think one of the issues later Columbo had is that it needed to simultaneously reflect its 70s origins while also reflecting a changing LA.

Drunk on my own unquiet brain.

Pivoting to weekend.

Some discourse in the Shining book on whether the crew liked or disliked McDonalds.

Oh you meant McDonald's manager.

I mean congratulations!

You sold your car?!

Griff hands Mel a large pink pill as the punchline to a sketch about prescription tranquillisers.

Morris in a never-used scene from Brass Eye (which is, however, clipped in the title sequence) brandishing the very same prop.

As someone who never caught the Oxide Ghosts film on tour, I'm enjoying the outtakes now going up on Michael Cummings YouTube channel, especially the revelation that the original Cake prop was repurposed from a 1995 edition of Smith & Jones.

The guy who taught me how to make clear soup had a terrible reputation, but during my time with him he was a consommé professional.

Casting call! Looking for a woman voice actor, 50+ who is versatile and a vocal chameleon / can play many different bit parts in an audio comedy.

We’re recording in London on 13th & 14th April. This is a paid opportunity. Actor does not need to be autistic!

Smacks of Blackadder's turnip/parsnip confusion.

Only about halfway through but the ending is in such a state of flux a third of the way into production that the "hotel comes to life" sequence comes more and more to resemble Kubrick just throwing everything he can at it. Looking forward to getting to sit inside that process when I get there.
