I love him for championing Mario Bava but most of all for putting so much love and effort into restoring and saving Powell and Pressburger before it was fashionable to do so.

It was funny when he said Marvel wasn't cinema and all these people started talking about him like he was the antichrist.

Version why are you giving this a thumbs up? Is it because you think it is an astute and valid contribution to the discourse? Or because it has given you a fresh perspective on the ouvré?

I think he does sound a bit thick, although it might be the fault of the interviewer.

Which made Scorsese think of the Elamites: “What were they doing?”

I like the story @jenks told about having to hide all the books that kept arriving from Amazon during Covid from his wife, like an alcoholic smuggling bottles of gin into the house and hiding them in the garage

My wife tricked me into agreeing a cull (I had to take my brick and plank shelves down when repainting the front room, she saw her opportunity) - took about 300 books to various charity shops. Whole swathes of genres I’m never going to read again. I reckon about 100 books have come in since then - I’m waiting for her to notice…
