It’s always a plus when the album you chose lasts the distance of your journey.

@aquilanebula Oh, no - that’s not right!

[Nicholas Leigh @Liborwich3]

Call me insane, but Heaven’s Gate (in its 2012 3.5hr cut) is superior to The Deer Hunter, and is quite possibly one of the best films ever made.

@aquilanebula These are just agonising choices now!

[Nicholas Leigh @Liborwich3]

@aquilanebula Oh, it’s so good!

[Nicholas Leigh @Liborwich3]

@aquilanebula Another tough one. Frantic is endlessly rewatchable!

[Nicholas Leigh @Liborwich3]

@aquilanebula Ooh, this is a tough one: supporting role in the great Apocalypse Now as against lead role in the excellent Presumed Innocent.

@johnsw Yes, well worth checking out! Obviously still has big Wish You Were Here vibes ………..

Very moving to hear the Prayer for the Royal Family being spoken to the King rather than the Queen during the Rosh Hashanah service today, as had always been the way in my lifetime.

Tenet - wow. Having finally seen, and watched twice in two days, a masterpiece filled with giant images and intellect. Nothing that looks or sounds like it in current cinema.

Memories of seeing Terminator 2, August 1991:
1. The T-1000 - wow!
2. The terrifying scenes of nuclear destruction.
3. The trailer for Unforgiven.
4. Coming home to news of the attempted coup in Moscow.

After an idyllic week at a writing retreat in Puglia, Italy, and some great progress made on my latest book, a pizza is, I think, quite well deserved.
