Guardian & Observer journalists are on strike again today & tomorrow.

We believe we have a duty to tell readers the truth. Which is that this deal sucks. It’s bad for the Obs, bad for the Guardian. Bad for journalism.

Any support you can give us is hugely valued 🙏

[Guardian NUJ @gonuj93]

Today Guardian & Observer journalists are on strike for 48 hours over plans to sell the Observer to a loss-making digital start up and put its journalism behind a paywall.🧵

@shauntranslates @RobertHanks Yes, let’s do it properly some time.

@locogirlp He wasn’t. I wrote, Richard Clark directed. Richard later directed some Doctor eps - only connection I can think of.

[Jonathan Romney @JonathanRomney]

I remember a Q&A in Rome, where he declared that he couldn’t live - literally couldn’t live - without Eliot’s Four Quartets and Bruckner’s symphonies. Later that day, he enthused about the Carry On films and the immortal “Infamy! Infamy!”

RIP Terence Davies, one of the great cinematic poets and explorers of the self and of memory. He plumbed the sorrows, rejoiced in the follies… 1/2

@Xalira @ObsNewReview Orizzonti, etc, I mean.

[Jonathan Romney @JonathanRomney]

Arrivederci Venezia. Here’s my ⁦@ObsNewReview⁩ final round-up of Venice. https://t.co/jHl55fIAq1

@Xalira @ObsNewReview Sidebars (Orizzonti) are still more eclectic, but in the competition it’s a very narrow red carpet.

@wendyide Grazie mille. Hope you’re enjoying TIFF.

[Jonathan Romney @JonathanRomney]

This is awful. Carlo and team vibed up the Berlinale wonderfully, under exceptionally difficult circumstances, reviving it as a festival of real discovery.

[Cinema Scope @CinemaScopeMag]

In case you missed it

[Jonathan Romney @JonathanRomney]

@filmuforia @jessicakiang Ahhh…. But why should this site require secret tricks? It’s not Grand Theft Auto.

[Jonathan Romney @JonathanRomney]

@filmuforia @jessicakiang Tearing, I mean.

[Jonathan Romney @JonathanRomney]

@filmuforia @jessicakiang Treating out his green hair, maybe.

@DonaldClarke63 There is a particular Italian gesture that unfortunately I can’t find a emoji for.

[Jonathan Romney @JonathanRomney]

@PaulRidd Or: slightly longer than a longish piece of string.

@tpaleyfilm @ObsNewReview @AMCtvUK @5ACTION_tv @bbcthree Can’t take credit for these! Thanks to @wendyide for stepping in while I was on holiday.
