“Nick, I've tried everything: the embassy, the German government, the consulate. I even talked to the U.N. ambassador. It's no use, I just can't bring my wife to orgasm.”

“My name’s Nick. My father thought of it when he was shaving.”

I class it alongside Airplane!

Promo masks for the underrated Steve Martin/Eddie Murphy comedy

BOWFINGER (1999).

These were given out at preview screenings the distributor held for rental store managers. They were to hold them up so it’d look like the whole cinema was just Eddies and Steves for a photo. 🤪😂

64 Candles 🎂 today for the creative polymath & force of nature -

THE WOMEN (1939)

I mean, there are still so many people out there that don’t realise that Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are the same thing. They’re doomed.

1939/40 Philco ‘Log Cabin’ Tube Radio

Still friends with Leguizamo, talk politics etc

Met her at an AIDS benefit in early 90s, stayed in touch, was an extra on TWFTFE…nothing major…

November 15, 1924, Mr. and Mrs. Delingette, accompanied by their mechanic, engaged in crossing Africa, Colomb-Bechar in Cape Town! Completed it on July 3, 1925.

I was fortunate to have worked with her 30 years ago (on To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar). She was and is spectacular.

DON’T LOOK NOW (1973)

SCARFACE (1983)

Tony Montana uses "yeyo" as slang for cocaine. Al Pacino learned the word while learning the Cuban accent, and ad-libbed it during the chainsaw scene. Brian De Palma liked it enough to keep using it throughout the film.

American actress Paulette Goddard (The Cat and the Canary, So Proudly We Hail!, Kitty) in front of a Diego Rivera painting of her.

Gorgeous panelling, fabulous wallpaper (French block printed from 1832 called 'Decor Chinois' by Zuber+Cie) in this angled attic bedroom at the historical Beauport House, Gloucester, Massachusetts. It was the summer home of one of America's first professional interior designers, Henry Davis Sleeper.

Bill Forsyth’s films are chronically undervalued. They are too sad to be funny & too funny to be sad.

This one in particular is one of those films where you feel like virtually nothing happens but when it ends you can't shake the feeling of 'what just happened to me...?'.

COMFORT & JOY (1984).

I know what Yule did last Summer

One day in 1839, Robert Cornelius sat for 15 minutes in front of a hand-built camera made of opera glass and sheets of copper. His picture became the first “selfie” ever taken.

And he looks like my mate, the actor David Morrissey! @davidmorrissey.bsky.social are you an actual time traveller?? 🤪😂
