I watched this on a tiny TV at a Newcastle dog track, while on my stag do. Glorious.

Couldn't make it to a shop for Record Store Day this year, so was very happy that Rough Trade still had this in stock online.

I started in film journalism the year Daniel Craig became Bond. 21 years later we are getting a new Bond. Crazy how time flies.

[Variety @Variety]

My son said to me this morning, now David Attenborough is 100 he won't be able to play LEGO anymore. Well, now he can... (well played, @LEGO_Group).

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

Incredible.

[Bromley FC @bromleyfc]

Invincible.

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

Incredible!

[Bromley FC @bromleyfc]

WE ARE CHAMPIONS!

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

Thank god Bromley have brought the football fun this year as Chelsea have offered nothing but groans.

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

The dude has I Am Rose in his name. This was inevitable.

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

It's been 114 years... 😳⬇️

Chelsea have lost five league games in a row without scoring for the first time since 1912 - the year the Titanic sank.

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

I was so wrong about Martin Campbell just being a good, jobbing, very capable director. Recently watched Edge Of Darkness and he's, frankly, god tier.

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

Casino Royale was never the same after this moment, showing Bond was finally in real danger. Director Martin Campbell cut dialogue so we experience his confusion. The use of a heart poison, grounds the scene in some realism rarely seen in earlier Bond films.

SNL UK is a joy but the lack of apostrophes in the captions are killing me. Employ a sub editor, pretty please.

[Jesse Hassenger @rockmarooned]

Welcome to a few new followers! I wrote about how much I love UNDER THE SILVER LAKE. You may be asking yourself: What have I gotten myself into here? https://t.co/3SoRi7nN4a

Internet criticism in a nutshell.

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

This and the (amazing) horror film Host should be forever gilded as art that sums up a very particular time and mood.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

Bo Burnham's Inside is not only the best piece of art about COVID, it's probably the defining piece of art for the 2020s (not the best piece of art, but the one that is most quintessentially of this time)

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

Well #SNLUK was decent. Some proper laugh out loud moments. Outstanding move to have Tina Fey host the first one.

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

Apart from booking what I thought was the back of the BFI IMAX and ending up right at the front (my bad) , what a lovely, funny, moving experience @projecthailmary is. Go and see it on the biggest screen possible and preferably with an enthralled 9 year old, like I did.

Imagine the amount of questions Michael Mann will be getting about Miami Vice during the Heat 2 shoot.

[Art Hits Hard @nightwriter22]

The name Austin Butler has been mentioned in everything related to Heat 2, which Michael Mann is planning to shoot this August. If—and should—Butler get the role, it means he'll have one hell of a busy year, considering his involvement in Joseph Kosinski's Miami Vice, which Kosinski is filming in June. Depending on the role in Miami Vice, two months is enough time for Butler to wrap it and show up for Heat 2.

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

Yes! Took me an age to strip an Android phone, hide all the apps and Chrome, so it just has Spotify working for my son. And every time there is an update, I have to do it all over again.

[Freyy @Freyy_is]

dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it

[Marc Chacksfield @mchax]

Hmm. Love they did the due dilligence, and it's a great read, but there's nothing here that wasn't revealed years ago. Except his new name which will now be his old name. Also, this really isn't public interest, more a character assassination.

[Reuters Investigates @specialreports]

Banksy has created street art around the world. But it was an unfinished work on a billboard atop a New York apartment building that helped Reuters to prove beyond all doubt the artist's identity https://t.co/QApE7ISxeO
