Just to be clear - I believe everything the Michael Jackson accusers said. If you choose to deny it because you like his music, that’s your moral choice, but I would educate yourself on his crimes before seeing this disgrace of a movie.
The Nazis hid their concentration camps for fear outrage would equal intervention. They knew it was wrong. But Israel doesn’t hide anything. They just rely on the normalising of horror and us all living with this for life, knowing we did nothing.
A ban on conversion practices has been promised again and again by the Scottish Government, but this week the SNP have delayed it again.
Far too many people have endured the fear, shame and trauma of these dehumanising practices. We need a ban now.
@Bertrom I’m a psychotherapist - only because films taught me about other lives, empathy, culture, history, feelings and relationships. Grateful everyday for film.
I loved Sam Neill. His autobiography is absolutely wonderful. Joyful, touching, interesting, sweet. Jurassic Park changed my whole life. I studied film at uni because of it. I’m grateful to him for being who he was.
RIP Sam Neill (1947-2026)
Sam Neill on why "The Piano" (1993) is an important movie in Cinema history:
"I don’t think I can overestimate how important 'The Piano' (1993) is for me in hindsight. It sits on my funny old CV like a medal on my chest. It wasn’t my film. It was Jane Campion's. I wasn’t the star of the film. That was Holly Hunter. But there is honour to be found in the second fiddle. Or fourth. No one notices you much, you don’t get nominated for things. But you served. I was there in an important feminist film. I was there on the front line in an important New Zealand film. Neither of these labels does the film justice. It’s a work of art. And look, that tiny little figure in the fabric— see down there on the right—that’s me. It’s a film that will always have a place in cinema history. And I served in it."
("Did I Ever Tell You This: A Memoir", Sam Neill, 2023)
“More durable than a mere pin-up, he was a beloved character actor who improved everything he was in.”
Perfectly put by Ryan Gilbey.
RIP Sam Neill https://t.co/RiNPAxzux3
Farage is the epitome of everything that's wrong with British politics - backed by big money and Donald Trump and stoking division in our communities.
We wont' stand in the Clapton stunt election - but we will focus relentlessly on this ultimate establishment stooge.
