2 films today: The Cat Returns and Free Guy

[Mike Weir @michaelpweir]

📖 finished yesterday at my tremendously slow, few-pages-per-bedtime pace: Passing Time by Michel Butor @pariahpress introduced of course via @cathannabel to whom I’ve promised thoughts on the book. It’s an incredibly intricate composition breaking up all ordinary flows of time!

🎥 The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, from Ghibli again

[Mike Weir @MikeWeirMusic]

🎥 Gone With The Wind. Holy shit!

[Mike Weir @MikeWeirMusic]

I don’t begin to understand how you make such a film, but there must have been a moment when @Lin_Manuel came back with some of the music and lyrics written, and everyone’s jaws just dropped right open #encanto

[Mike Weir @MikeWeirMusic]

I’m not the slightest but surprised! Bruno #1 #encanto https://t.co/2S7pt6cbr7

🎥 Princess Mononoke (1997) Hayao Miyazaki / Studio Ghibli. Epic animated fantasy about the clashes between human industry and the spirit of the forest. Goliath talking animal tribes and animal-demons!

On repeat this week #2: Van Der Graaf Generator - Theme One (thanks @BBC6Music) https://t.co/ebF0Rkdc8E

Excellent item of post from @weir_dj - this book had been resting on the shelf since I had it as a child. I was so excited to receive this as a gift in the early 1990s. Now young Weir #1 is reading it, he may be in an Alice show this year. I breathed in the old book smell today!

This is an absolute fishing exercise with my brand new Twitter account and few followers - I'm interested in finding a space in Sheffield where I can rehearse on a piano/electric piano. Preferably without brining my own. Any ideas? #sheffield #music #sheffieldissuper

This song was written for you
And all the gods you have on your side
All the gold and the jewels you hide
And the rocks around your ankles tied...

Always a good indicator if a film goes on location in London/the UK and it is watchable!

🎥🎥🎥 Three more film crackers watched over the Christmas / New Year period. The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. All re-watches. Phenomenally paced, dramatically real, immersive location filming. Watch the credits just to appreciate the effort

[Mike Weir @MikeWeirMusic]

🎥 Encanto - watched with young Weir #1, who was on his second watch after seeing it at the cinema with his Mum. Came back singing it. Beautiful film with characteristically brilliant original music by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Great atmosphere out here 😃

📽️From Up on Poppy Hill: 2011, directed by Gorō Miyazaki & from Studio Ghibli. An (as usual) spectacularly illustrated and beautiful story of hope, a house high over the ocean & the power and resourcefulness of high school students. Watched in Japanese with the subtitles

I've been enjoying this stuff today - for the latter half of the 90s the radio was playing pretty much flat out in our house (and in certain fun lessons at school 😉) and at the turn of the millennium I started sixth form - 90s music goes through me like a stick of rock!

[BBC Radio 6 Music @BBC6Music]

A photo that's so 90s it hurts 😫

Today we are throwing it back with a full day dedicated to the 90s 🎶

From sludgy grunge to euphoric indie, what tracks do you want to hear?

📻 Back to the 90s | Thursday 13th January
