Helping people use words - the spoken and written word - to make maximum profit or income

Regardless of personal opinions about Russell Brand, on the exact same day he received a prison sentence of ten years and six months, an Afghan national appeared in court for three counts of rape and penetration of a child under 13, but received a two-year suspended sentence.

🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡

@EllenFWalker I love Philip Hinchcliffe's man of action Doctor.

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@d4doome The Flame and the Arrow is fantastic. The acrobatic action sequences are terrific. It beats Crimson Pirate for me.

@ScottMcCreaWest They deal with their embarrassment by focusing on deconstruction.

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@ScottMcCreaWest I think its more a case of the Bond for the people who are embarrassed that they like Bond.

[Scott McCrea Adventures @ScottMcCreaWest]

"Craig is the Bond for people who don't actually like Bond."

One of the best takes on the entire Craig corpus.

Some rapists are treated more leniently than others.
Why would that be?

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@tcm One of the most beautiful things I have seen in a cinema. Technicolor at its finest. Gone to Earth is significantly better than the American edit The Wild Heart.

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@tcm I saw Gone to Earth in an Edinburgh cinema with Michael Powell in the audience doing a Q&A after. A great evening.

@woodg31 Monday night with The High Chapperal for me. I have never heard of Ryan International before.

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@IanJacklin1 If The Adventurer were cleaned up nicely by @imprint_films or the new @networktweets I reckon there would be a bit of a reassessment. I think its rehash of Amos Burke Secret Agent (check out that title seuqnce) which Barry hated doing in the 1st place.

[WireSpy @WireSpy92]

My pick for Bond.

We need to recognise that cancel culture is not new, having been a feature of politics, particularly of the leftist variety, for most of the 20th century. Arguably the Bolsheviks pioneered it; later it spread to the West. Novelist Henry Williamson suffered cancellation for his membership of the BUF (he was unrepentant about it; whether a public disavowal would’ve changed things is hard to say). McCarthyism was an example of rightist cancel culture, and ended with McCarthy himself being cancelled (Joe went too far when he pursued Eisenhower’s friends in the Army). Enoch Powell, of course, was cancelled, not least by his own party.

What is relatively new is the pettiness of cancel culture now, and the fact that pretty much anyone, and not just public figures, can now suffer cancellation for transgressing our ever-shifting norms.

So much artistry. Gorgeous to look at and a perfect example of how to involve people in a story.

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

The incredible opening shot from DEAD END in 1937. Combines miniature effects, perspective and clever editing.

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@d4doome The series I most wish @VinegarSyndrome 's Iconoscope label to do.

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

Hard not to agree.

[Madeline Grant @Madz_Grant]

Yeah I remember it too. One decent film followed by three duds, culminating in probably the worst outing of all time. No other Bond actor has such a poor dud/good ratio. Craig is the Bond for people who don't actually like Bond

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@ScottMcCreaWest The Holy Triumverate!

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

I'd love this on a blu-ray @DisneyStudios . How about it? That 20th Century Fox archives has some bangers.

[TCM @tcm]

Tomorrow night, you'll be dancing in your living room as we continue our spotlight Leaders of the Band with Dave Karger and Michael Feinstein.

We kick things off at 8pm ET with SUN VALLEY SERENADE ('41).

[DavidRoylance @DavidRoylance]

@nwnatur I am sure this aspect of Harkonnen is very much present in the David Lynch version.
