Exciting news. I’m lucky enough to have seen a preview screening, and I can tell you that the concert is sensational. Bowie and the band are on blistering form. Brett Morgen and his team have done a magnificent job: sound and vision painstakingly restored and remastered. It’s going to be amazing.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

I’m too old and world-weary to spend time filming my face for ‘hits’ so if you want a break from all that, I am doing a sombre and serious show at the Soho Theatre on 16th November. Still tickets left. Depressing music and prose. sohotheatre.com/events/matth...

Children of Men (2006) Director Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity): "There's nothing prophetic. There were people already warning us about everything. It's not that I invented anything. I was just reading about stuff that was going on, and trying to make my own conclusions. It was there in the open."

The BBC announcing a two part doc on JK Rowling the same week as erasing a “protect the dolls” t-shirt is a pretty clear choice. They’re just full on promoting another network’s show now as long as it’s trans people who pay the price. Good to know, Beeb.

“I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I’m sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled.” Susan Alexandra “Sigourney” Weaver is 77 today.

Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧵

Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) directed by Jack Clayton, from a screenplay written by Ray Bradbury, based on his novel of the same name. It stars Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Diane Ladd and Pam Grier.

I've stumbled across an image that sums up 1979 during the Scarred For Life era, combining ITV's 11 week strike with the Yorkshire Ripper...

Originally cast as SHREK, CHRIS FARLEY was only 5 days away from completing recording of all the dialogue for the movie when he tragically passed away. The producers asked his brother John to finish the recordings as they sounded so similar, but he was too cut up to do it.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky
