King Billy & The Popes (Feature): Two Catholics and two Protestants unite to form a punk band during the height of the troubles.

'King Billy & The Popes' is about a #punkband during #thetroubles. A #screenplay wi' plenty o' music, chaos as well as a murder or ten! There's also love, sex & passion; but most of all there's a whole lotta hope.

This is what I call a "healthy rejection"; any criticism is merely limited to 2 points which I have now addressed going forward.

Take heart; rejections can often be very "healthy" and not something to get down about!🎭

This #Documentary on #LSLowry is really good! An engaging story about an #artist who painted scenes from #workingclass life & poignant look at a very self effacing laconic man with a deep need to paint pictures of ordinary people.

Why might those with power fear an educated #workingclass?

In 'The Intellectual Life Of The British Working Class' #JonathanRose tries to provide an answer to this question amongst others & its totally absorbing & insightful!

Just watched @SineadEOShea's excellent #documentary 'Blue Road-The Edna O'Brien Story' on #SkyArts; a fascinating character study of a very complex person and great writer... lots to think about and reflect upon... see it if you can... #HighlyRecommended...

It occurred to me that #writing is the polar opposite of corporate irresponsibility and idiocy with its injunction to 'move fast and break things'...

Watching 'Nomadland' with the incomparable Frances McDormand...a very compelling film...it draws you in...it's been said that if the USA sneezes we all catch a cold...wrap up warm...enjoy its often understated human warmth...
