Christmas has come early with a cracking double bill here in the UK! There is a cracking double bill playing on @BBCTwo this evening.
Raging Bull followed by Do the Right Thing.
Two films I have had the privilege of taking deep dives into!
Five years ago today I met Robert De Niro for the first time working on our first book together on the making of The Deer Hunter.
A life changing moment that continues to reverberate to this day.
Thank you for your trust and friendship Bob.

I lost my wing-man today.
PJ, our Cockapoo, was the kindest & loyal friend our family could have wished for.
For over 10 years he was by my side, a co-writer & confidant for all my books.
I’ll never forget you. Sleep easy, pal. xx
Oh my! The Deepest Breath this morning certainly hit me the deepest. Passionate, joyful, poignant, suspenseful, tense, visually stunning … not ashamed to say a few tears shed.
An absolutely beautiful achievement. Congratulations @LauraMcGann@JBattsek@Venture_land@NetflixUK
I had the honour of working with James Fox, & Mick Jagger, Nic Roeg & the team to tell the story of the making of their iconic film, Performance for a large format book. It was great to hear James’ memories of playing Chas, such a humble & gracious man
Then there is this grifter
Tributes will rightly be paid to a fantastic journalist and brilliant broadcaster - but George was the most decent, principled, kindest, most honourable man I have ever worked with. What a loss. https://t.co/SxfRs6FOsc

Love this screen grab of Robert De Niro as an extra in Marcel Carne’s 1965 film, Trois chambres à Manhattan (Three Rooms in Manhattan).
Bob’s first film.
Happy birthday to Trainspotting! The book changed my life in so many ways, not least being able to call @IrvineWelsh a buddy. His support afforded me the opportunity to write a book on the making of the film & led to so many more friendships.
Absolutely bloody love the book & man
