#TheCinemaOfCancelledStars
Sheffield
Joined March 2013
I had the honour of introducing #TheAdventuresOfRobinHood (1938) at @showroomcinema as part of @BFI's #ArtOfAction season. Here, masterfully reworked as a Q&A by @alatereviewer, is what I said about one of the greatest stunt teams ever assembled... https://t.co/JHXOvhsVGU

Old friend and occasional site contributor John Featherstone recently introduced the classic 1938 Errol Flynn film at one of Late Reviewer’s favourite cinemas, and shared a great story and so…

It's a WRAP!!! Novel no.6 AKA #TheCinemaOfCancelledStars stands at 109,187 words for its first draft. Exhausting - but I absolutely *loved* every second spent writing it. #amwriting #BookTwitter

"It was like standing behind a glass wall while everybody else got on with missing me..." First saw this in the former cognac distillery where I worked in 2004 - and I loved it. Less so now, apart from that Walker Brothers bit and the Charlie Chaplin gag. https://t.co/BANmHwNC8O

"Do you ride in cabs or do you just trot alongside?" Often laugh-out-loud funny with (yet another) exceptional comic performance from ultimate film star Cary Grant, working from a tight script and with a perfect cast. 88 pleasant minutes of silliness. https://t.co/DnMeupGBNJ

"Why don't you get your broomstick and fly home?" Fred & Ginger's final movie is a spectacular, colourful musical that MGM really threw the dollars at. Shoes With Wings On, Oscar Levant's piano playing and womanising and the witticisms were highlights. https://t.co/mlyS7eYXsp

"Relax, I only killed the car..." Statham, De Niro and Owen in a strange, hard-to-fathom action movie packed full of violence, obvs. The highlight was The Stath winning a three-way fight while tied to a chair. You just can't beat that shit, really. https://t.co/HXBr8mBolY

"Any ideas, Dillinger?" Finally seeing this big, brash action classic on the big screen was brilliant. Connery and Cage work very well together, Harris's conflicted villain dominates his scenes and bullets and booms abound. Love the flares shot too. https://t.co/1fvyjkLNfE

@johnfeath Only Connery could deliver ‘Pershonally I think ur a fucking idiot’ and make it the best line in the movie. Connery is 99.9% of this movie’s Cool

These John Wayne-themed poles help your curtains keep out the draft. Sorry, *draught*.

While shooting #QuoVadis (1951), Peter Ustinov asked director Mervyn LeRoy for help getting in character to play the mad emperor. "The way I see it," LeRoy replied, "this guy Nero plays with himself nights."
