Jonathan Coe C @jonathancoe • 2h Very happy to be featured in this month's @cahierscinema, complete with a really nice photo of Wilder and Diamond (one that l'd never seen before) and an overdue shout-out to @patrickkincaid. (cc @PaulDiamond3). Il y a une raison très simple et une plus compliquée. La première est qu'il y a déjà un roman autour de La Vie privée de Sherlock Holmes, écrit par un de mes amis, Patrick Kincaid: The Continuity Girl (2014)! Mais je ne l'aurais peut-être pas fait, de toute façon. Car j'avais déjà écrit ce texte pour les Cahiers sur Sherlock Holmes, et au fond je sentais que j'y avais déjà dit tout…
Double trouble banner. We were warned we’d get a lot of that.
The street where I live: Victorian terraces lined with pollarded lime trees (and the odd maple or plane).

CEORGE ELIOT, LIVED HERE MARCH 1820 TO MARCH 1841
THE CONTINUITY GIRL 'Yeah, I know you did, kid' All lights were off now, and the music, too, so that the only sound and vision came from the television. There was an even greater haze on the moon than there was in the lounge, the fog of 380,000 miles. A bulked figure was almost merged with the ladder he was descending, and below him the white surface glowed like phosphorus against the flickering blackness of the void. James Burke's commentary was a nervous compulsion, dogging everything said and done. 'Okay. I'm going to step off the LM now? 'Stepping onto the surface?' "That's one small step for man... One giant leap for mankind? *And the first words of the first man to put foot on the moon: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." 'Man and mankind, said Sophie. 'I don't know why the rest of us are even watching.' Somebody shushed her. It might have been Jim. 'He goofed there, didn't he" said someone else. This movie needs a continuity girl' Jim found April in the darkness. He kissed her on the cheek. ‘The moon,' he said in her ear. 'I know,' she whispered back, and kissed his lips.
Actually, it’s Jessica Reynolds and Brenda Blethyn in the new adaptation of A Woman of Substance on Channel 4.

Facebook memory from 24 Mar 2024 ... Our train was late back into Coventry on Friday evening and we got to the Belgrade a little late. We were shown to our seats *on the front row* when the performance had already begun. Not nearly as embarrassing as when we were sitting on the front row at a Jeremy Hardy gig. Just as he came on, I remembered my phone was still on and so was switching it off while everyone else was applauding. That gave him at least five minutes of material to kick things off..
Tom Elliott Patrick Kincaid not really. 1920s labour would be far right by today's standards. Modern day Conservatives would be far left 100 years ago.
Very blue, hint of haze.
Me, with a very red ear, thanks to a welcome appearance of Sol.
As I said, terrifying, featureless poppets.
