Our local academic publishing house has a treat for everyone:
"The story that hatched Mothra—available in English for the first time, translated by Jeffrey Angles, who wrote an afterword about the novella’s cultural context, the unusual story of its composition, and the development of the 1961 film"

Next Sunday! If you'd like your late Mum's name read out, looking over Morecambe Bay all the way to the Lake District, please PLEASE reply with her name and the hashtag #Mums26, to save me bog-snorkelling through my replies, cheers!
In Fopp last night, there was one ghastly sleeve after another.
Sleeve for the 4K release of All the President's Men featuring a well-known image of Hoffman and Redford that has been touched up with AI.
The irony of seeing a film about the beautiful artwork of Graham Humphreys and on the same evening buying something with cover artwork that suggests that someone was asked "Can you make Dustin Hoffman look 15?"
Judging by reviews, they have thankfully done a better job with the film itself.

There are certainly some very familiar faces in the trailer.
Watching Rush Hour 3 and a little surprised to see an uncredited Roman Polanski turn up. Although given the director, I probably shouldn't be.
Off to see Captured Souls, a documentary about Graham Humphreys, at the Prince Charles with @chicalolita.bsky.social tonight.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
I can't compete with this.
You wait 40 years for a cinema screening of a film … and then two turn up at once … h/t (London Soundtrack Festival) for @barbican.bsky.social screening of De Palma’s OBSESSION londonsoundtrack.com/event/obsess...
The Jimmy Carr story I always think of is when he was ruining someone’s gig years ago while workshopping his laugh to get presenting gigs & got told to stop from the stage because “I don’t come to your shows and laugh”

But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter They said Farage had hoped he would be able to catch Trump for a conversation as the US president was scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that evening. However, Trump had a change in his itinerary and decided to stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s drive away The Reform leader's failure to secure an audience with the US president underscores a weakening of ties between the two populist leaders who famously formed a close friendship in the vears before and after the 2016
Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.
Who could have foreseen MAGA geniuses making things much much worse?
Simon Tisdall, the independent-minded journalist who was pivotal in ensuring the Guardian opposed the Iraq war of 2003, is sounding a loud alarm today…

Listening to the audiobook of Desperation (read by King himself) and like the brief mention of one of the characters reading Misery novels.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Paul Sheldon's rather slim manuscript for his new novel in Misery.
How many pages are there in his new novel? 20?
