In lieu of a serious musical weekend post, here is something light-hearted. Comedian Dudley Moore (who was musically talented) does a spoof on Beethoven, using the theme from Bridge on the River Kwai. Comedy used to be a lot more sophisticated than Andrew Dice Clay.

Excellent Twitter subtitling here. From now on I shall always think of Villeneuve as ‘Neville Knob’.
You think Quentin Tarantino is the only one with controversial movie takes? Think again. Director of Irréversible, Gaspar Noé, says Star Wars and Black Panther suck.

Counter: Nothing is stopping you taking your own snacks and drinks. The coffin, hammer and nails are the £15 ticket, the three day ‘blink-and-you-miss-it’ run and the patrons devoid of etiquette pissing about on phones and making crisp packet origami.
Friendly reminder Netflix didn't kill movie theaters. $25 popcorn did. And $12 water sealed the coffin...

I recently got a peek at the original pencil roughs for this cover and some of the interior illustrations. I think I t’s my favourite of all Alan’s books. The paintings and borders are as beautiful as his Tolkien pictures, and the large format suits them splendidly.

TIL an older version of ‘The Holly and the Ivy’ had the line ‘The wood-pigeon lifts up her tail / And shits before she goes’, why have we sanitised all our carols

Lots of marvellous heartfelt tributes to the great man, certainly in contention for our Greatest Living Writer until today and almost certainly the most photogenic literary smoker … but I will go with this wonderful quote about the business of craft. The only other person I
Tom Stoppard was the greatest living playwright up until his death today. “The Real Thing,” “The Invention of Love,” “Jumpers,” and “Arcadia” (among others) are fantastic plays that will continue to be seen and studied. A quote from “The Real Thing” on writing cricket bats:
