Mr Masterson loves Stanley's music magazine (too right, he pours his heart and soul into it!) and makes him an offer he can't refuse. Stanley's eyebrows look surprised. Love all the facial expressions, not least the wee smirk.
Sigh, Stanley is my go-to source of comfort, love him 🧡🧡

Watching Perfect Strangers through for the first time since summer 2018 and feeling all sorts of melancholy.

For anyone who's interested, I've got a link for Hitting Town by Stephen Poliakoff. It's about an explosive night between a brother and sister back in 1976. It was later remade as 'Close My Eyes' with Clive Owen. ok ru video 1215300176482
I had no idea that Close My Eyes was based on anything!
This is really exciting, Anon! Thank you! What a great find.

April 2023: My Plan for the 1930s
Here’s to hoping I have more time for reading this month! 🤞
(You can read more about the Reading Through the Decades reading challenge on my post introducing the challenge. Basically, it’s a year-long reading challenge where we read books - and explore other media - from the 1900s to the 2020s, decade-by-decade.)
Here’s a list of the things I’ve got my eye on for this month:
📖 Quaderni del carcere (1929-35; Prison Notebooks), Antonio Gramsci 📖 Die Schlafwandler (1931-32; The Sleepwalkers), Hermann Broch 🎬 危险关系 (2012; Dangerous Liaisons), dir. Hur Jin-ho 📺 시카고 타자기 (2017; Chicago Typewriter) 🎬 Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl (2019; When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit), dir. Caroline Link 🎬 The Group (1966), dir. Sidney Lumet 🎬 Murder on the Orient Express (2017), dir. Kenneth Branagh 📖 It Can’t Happen Here (1935), Sinclair Lewis 🎬 Cradle Will Rock (1999), dir. Tim Robbins 🎬 Things to Come (1936), dir. William Cameron Menzies 🎬 Incierta gloria (2017; Uncertain Glory), dir. Agustí Villaronga 📺 凭栏一片风云起 (2022; Defying the Storm) 📖 Lumikadun kertoja (2017; ”The Storyteller of Snow Street”), Katja Kaukonen 🎬 La niña de tus ojos (1998; The Girl of Your Dreams), dir. Fernando Trueba 🎬 ¡Ay, Carmela! (1990), dir. Carlos Saura 📖 At Swim-Two-Birds (1939), Flann O’Brien 🎬 Glorious 39 (2009), dir. Stephen Poliakoff
