Started wondering what ever happened to Cara Delevingne... a quick Google revealed she's got a top-rated film called #ClubKid coming out soon. Pleased for her!

Discovered stand up @normmacdonald via Judd Apatow's "rabbit hole" documentary biopic after developing a love for him via 'The Middle'... only to find out he's no longer with us. What an emotional rollercoaster. The Forrest Gump of stand ups. 🀣πŸ˜₯

Finally saw #PumpingIron... fascinating sports documentary... offers a slice-of-life and companion piece to the early chapters in Schwarzenegger's biography, Total Recall. Wonder how a #ThisIsSpinalTap version would have gone?

The CD market is showing a resurgence, think it won't be long before DVDs head in the same direction. Difficult to beat the permanence and tangibility of owning the physical licence to watch something as it was originally intended without having to scroll against the algorithm.

Before apps and algorithms people used to trust voices.

Cunk on Cinema... it's a great idea but if the best bits are in the trailer... it pales in comparison with Between Two Ferns and Ali G's early interviews. Give me the Borat version even.
