Chuffed that I’m now old enough to be allowed into the cinema when DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN returns to big screens this summer. Back in 1985, I had to make do with the novelization. As you can see, my copy was exceedingly well read. #novelization #movietiein

An unexpected encounter in Vienna Central Cemetery last week. ❤️ I made a little video: youtu.be/P-wacAbB-3I #WienerZentralfriedhof #wildlife #roedeer

Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka (1961) youtube.com/watch?v=m83I7h…

Splendid to chew over this fabulous, stylish 1930s murder-mystery thriller, recording a new commentary with Josephine Botting today! Watch out for it on the forthcoming BFI MICHAEL POWELL: EARLY WORKS Blu-ray, out soon! Five rare features, lovingly remastered!

Today was a sad day. My beloved #BlackBerry finally died – the devastation of which will probably not be appreciated by those without puny wrists, small hands and pointy fingernails. eBay, here I come! BlackBerry

I do enjoy surprise finds when midway through reading second-hand books.

THE MOUSE ON THE MOON (Richard Lester, 1963). A fun film with a cute animated opening title sequence by Maurice Binder and Trevor Bond. Watch the full sequence here: youtube.com/watch?v=NnHkBJ…. #titledesign

The, er, guaranteed authentic mermaids I’ve encountered in person have a lot less allure than the ones in the storybooks! Here are examples from the Natural History Museum in Venice and the Horniman Museum in London. #FairyTaleTuesday

Paul Schrader’s AMERICAN GIGOLO is a true masterpiece. I loved watching it back on the big screen at Greenwich Picturehouse today. Catch further shows at other Team Picturehouse this week.

No visit to Vienna should be considered complete without a visit to the wonderful Circus & Clown Museum. circus-clownmuseum.at National Fairground and Circus Archive

I'm bingeing pre-horror Hammer at the moment - this film has one of the best opening credit sequences ever! It's a fun comedy too, with a great performance by Medwin. Dr. Deborah Allison

I'm excited for Flipside #50!

Delighted to be hosting a Q & A with the writer/director of THE OUTCASTS, Robert Wynne-Simmons, at the UK Premiere of the new IFI restoration, prior to its release on BFI Flipside Blu-ray. A magical and mysterious folk film. Book now! thegardencinema.co.uk/film/bfi-flips…

Amazon are still running a super-cheap promotion on my film title sequences book (UK only, I think). I bagged myself a few spares as £5.50 is even cheaper than the author-copy price! I have zero idea how long this will last. #titledesign #movietitles #moviecredits #saulbass
