I've watched humans destroy each other when I could stop it all in a heartbeat. Do you know what that does to someone after centuries? Could our mission have been a mistake? Are we really helping these people build a better world? We're just like the soldiers down there: pawns to their leaders, blinded by loyalty.

Manically energetic, Eugene Kotlyarenko’s SPREE (2020, Hulu but not for long) covers up its flaws with some exciting filmmaking and a charismatic performance by Joe Keery. He stars as Kurt, a would be social-media titan stuck in a job as a rideshare driver. To go viral, he decides to launch “#thelesson,” a livestream tutorial on how to use his job to kill people. Kotlyarenko and co-writer Gene McHugh wisely make the victims utterly obnoxious. They’re hardly deserving of death, but it’s still fun to see Keery take out racists, misogynists and wannabe fashion mavens. And the writers keep the one sympathetic character, an aspiring comic played very well by Sasheer Zamata, as a background figure until she’s needed at the end to generate suspense. Kotlyarenko is committed to being as outrageous as possible, which makes for some funny, slapstick murder scenes. But the film also goes off the rails at times and even tips the scales into ugliness before bouncing back for an energetic, funny finale. The real horror, of course is in the comments urging Keery to kill more and the rising viewer numbers as his spree escalates. David Arquette is on-hand briefly as Keery’s father, with Jessalyn Gilsig, John DeLuca, Mischa Barton and Frankie Grande among the victims. It may be too much for some — and social media is rather an easy target — but I had a lot of fun watching the film take potshots at our hyper-connected, fame-obsessed culture.
Update from the Mod: Annual Report of the ABF (Oct2023)
Somewhat late, but it’s that time of year when we look back and note all that Andrew has been doing over the last twelve months.
It’s fair to say that since update22 Andrew has had a tumultuous year, with his personal exploits often overshadowing his screenwork, as far as the tabloid newspapers are concerned.
At this time last year, we were looking forward to:
Carnival Row s2
Intrigo: Samaria [6 years on, still waiting]
Better
COBRA Rebellion (s3)
At the beginning of 2023 yet another series of In the Doghouse appeared on Channel 4, with Andrew narrating.
As far as we fans were concerned, everything happened in February:
BBC drama Better premiered in Leeds with extensive TV and press interviews and we finally met Col McHugh with his Irish brogue.
In the same week filming for ‘darkly comic’ Passenger, written by Andrew, got underway in Lancashire, starring Wunmi Mosaku and David Threlfall.
Then just days later Carnival Row s2 finally aired with Andrew in the central role of Mikulas Vir
At the end of the month we were shocked when revelations about the break up of Andrew’s marriage started to appear in various tabloids. These have continued at regular intervals throughout the year, usually regurgitating the same story, reportedly from friends. This undoubtedly unwanted attention has spawned some dodgy paparazzi photos too.
In October Cobra Rebellion aired on Sky/NOW. We haven’t yet spotted Andrew though….?!
This year's fanpic:
Finally, just this week, Andrew’s new project - thriller Black Doves -was announced by Netflix. That'll keep us going through the winter!
Meanwhile…..
….. ABF now has an archive of over 5,000 different posts, 26 themed pages and 380 followers.
Thank you to all Andrew fans – especially to @madandi @geminigmo @llywela13 and @theknittycritter and the many other new regular fans this year.
Best wishes to Andrew and his family for the coming year.

David McHugh / Avalon
Estelle Taylor, Beulah Bondi, and Eleanor Wesselhoeft in Street Scene (King Vidor, 1931)
Cast: Sylvia Sidney, William Collier Jr., Estelle Taylor, Beulah Bondi, David Landau, Frank McHugh, Russell Hopton, Greta Granstedt, Eleanor Wesselhoeft, Walter Miller, Max Montor, Ann Kostant, Allen Fox, John Qualen, Lambert Rogers, George Humbert, Helen Lovett, Nora Cecil. Screenplay: Elmer Rice, based on his play. Cinematography: George Barnes. Production design: Richard Day. Film editing: Hugh Bennett. Music: Alfred Newman.
Ninety-one years later, King Vidor's Street Scene remains one of the best translations ever made of a stage play into a movie. I think it's largely because Vidor and screenwriter Elmer Rice, adapting his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, avoided the temptation to "open out" the play. The focus of both play and film has to be the façade of the tenement house in which the characters live. Director and writer resist the temptation to go inside, even to show the double murder that forms the climax of the drama. Vidor does give the setting a little more context, with shots of the street and the city rooftops, and there's a scene inside a taxicab arriving at the brownstone, as well as a swish-pan montage of faces popping into windows along the street as people hear the gunshots. But virtually all of the action takes place where it should: on the front steps and in the flanking and upper-story windows of the tenement. What keeps Street Scene from bogging down as one-set films tend to do is the constant mobility of the camera, seeking out a variety of angles on the characters as they come and go. Several of the actors, including Beulah Bondi, John Qualen, Eleanor Wesselhoeft, George Humbert, and Ann Kostant, had performed their roles on Broadway, so they were already keyed into the kind of ensemble playing that Street Scene demands. This was Bondi's film debut, and she's a standout in the key role of the malicious gossip Emma Jones, a hypocrite whose son is a bully and whose daughter behaves like what Emma would call a tramp if she were someone else's daughter. The newcomers to the play also handle themselves admirably, especially Sylvia Sidney and Estelle Taylor as Rose Maurrant and her mother, Anna. The weak link in the cast is William Collier Jr. as Sam Kaplan, who comes across as something of a wuss, unable to defend himself against the bullying Vincent Jones, and a sap in his love scenes with Sidney's Rose, making us wonder what she sees in him. Street Scene also trades a little heavily in stereotypes: the Italians who love music, the Irishman who's a drunk, the Jews who are somewhat isolated from the rest of the tenants, and even the Swede with a comic accent -- one of John Qualen's specialties. Like most of the films produced by Sam Goldwyn, Street Scene has high production values, particularly Richard Day's set, which was modeled on Jo Mielziner's Broadway set; the cinematography by George Barnes with some uncredited assistance from Gregg Toland; and Alfred Newman's score, which features a bluesy Gershwinesque theme that he would re-use in half a dozen other movies even after he left Goldwyn for 20th Century Fox.
Questo libro (a cura di Luciana Licitra e Davide Majocchi)[1] si rivolge a tutti coloro che hanno aperto le loro menti ad una visione del posizionamento dell’umano diversa dagli schemi piramidali di sapore cartesiano. Così come è un prezioso strumento per comprendere quale sia la realtà italiana della vita del cane nella convivenza con gli umani, squarciando gli edulcorati veli del ‘migliore amico dell’uomo’.
I contributi[2] raccolti dai curatori nel volume forniscono un approccio multidisciplinare alla presenza del Cane negli spazi abitati (e abusati) dagli umani in una visione prospettica di confronto. Si tratta di Storie di umani e cani uniti nella ricerca comune della libertà, fisica, di espressione, di autodeterminazione e riflessioni sulla questione del randagismo, dell’addestramento e l’industria del pet.
I cani “di proprietà” nelle società degli umani svolgono principalmente la funzione di compagnia, nella falsa convinzione che la condizione che essa comporta assicuri un soddisfacente equilibrio fra garanzie e libertà individuali.
Questo libro, attraverso vari contributi teorici ed esperienziali, problematizza gli effetti di decenni di selezione razziale, commercio e protezionismo, individuando alcuni significativi campi di sfruttamento resi invisibili dalla cultura dominante. Solo una radicale trasformazione sociale può perseguire la loro liberazione. I cani e le cagne non hanno mai smesso di resistere, dimostrando “a occhi attenti e solidali” di percorrere le molteplici strade dell’autonomia.
La citazione in apertura ad uno dei capitoli di Majocchi ben illustra quale sia il cambio di paradigma suggerito dagli autori:
Nessuno educa nessuno, nessuno si educa da solo, al massimo ci si educa insieme. Nella mediazione con il mondo. (Paulo Freire – La pedagogia degli oppressi)
Non vogliamo metodi addestrativi innovativi o gentili, l’obiettivo è comprendere che gli umani devono imparare a coesistere su un piano di parità grazie al quale la relazione si basa sul confronto fra Animali di specie diverse.
Gli autori offrono una panoramica sulle diverse forme di oppressione agite in nome del “bene del cane” affrontando temi quali le numerose ed affollate prigioni istituzionalizzate (i canili, di qualsiasi tipo esse siano), i bisogni egocentrici di tutti i volontari e volontarie che soddisfano bisogni emotivi e psicologici personali perdendo di vista le reali esigenze dei cani. Ripercorrono le tappe che hanno portato alla pet economy: l’esorbitante giro d’affari che sforna cuccioli di razza senza curarsi di quale sia l’impatto genetico di tale selezione o la creazione di falsi bisogni che alimenta ed arricchisce l’industria del pet (dagli alimenti agli accessori, dagli integratori ai servizi).
Un viaggio nel mondo dei cani che abbandona la strada tanto finta quanto di facciata per inoltrarsi in sentieri scomodi percorrendo i quali le vite dei cani emergono nella loro dura realtà. Uno sguardo ampio ed articolato su cosa significhi, oggi, essere Cane: una triste prigionia.
Ringrazio coloro che hanno contribuito a questo volume perché quasi tutti loro mi hanno offerto il piacere della condivisione e del confronto su tematiche che da anni mi appartengono. Quasi tutti perché trovo che uno dei contributi non risulti in linea con la filosofia del libro e che l’autore non abbia realmente effettuato un cambio radicale della visione della convivenza con i cani. Ma questa è solo la mia opinione…..
[1] Luciana Licitra si occupa di comunicazione e scrittura. Ha lavorato per molti anni nell’editoria e in canile.
Davide Majocchi è un attivista antiautoritario per la liberazione animale e operatore di canile. Ha girato il docufilm No Pet e ha pubblicato diversi contributi su riviste e volumi antispecisti.
