RIP Tom Noonan! A legend has left us. From Manhunter to Robocop 2 and more, he never failed to smash his roles. He will be missed

We discussed his remarkable performance in Michael Mann’s MANHUNTER (1986) which you can listen to here: meanstreetspodcast.podbean.com/e/case-6-man...

RIP Robert Duvall! What a talent we lost. From The Godfather to The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and The Judge (and so much more!), he was brilliant and will be deeply missed.

Naomi Watts' performance in Mulholland Drive is superb - from wide-eyed dreamer to shattered reality, it is a mesmerising transformation.

Yeah, Ive noticed that on my person account. We’re definitely finding Bluesky to be thinning out generally. The timelines are clogged.

Need to see if what (if any) local cinemas are showing. Because the would be good fun!

A good movie, catching up on the previous seasons. Did the same thing. It’ll pay off for you… at least I hope!!

Long time Bond producer Barbara Broccoli (allegedly) called Amazon executives β€œfucking idiots.”

Damn. Bond seems to be following the trend of popular franchises dying after their 50th. Dr Who and Star Trek both died around this point. Bond, I feel, is gone for good. The commonality between all of these deaths? β€œfucking idiots.”
