While shooting #QuoVadis (1951), Peter Ustinov asked director Mervyn LeRoy for help getting in character to play the mad emperor. "The way I see it," LeRoy replied, "this guy Nero plays with himself nights."

Spotted in Farsley last night and basically, fair play. Love it.

These John Wayne-themed poles help your curtains keep out the draft. Sorry, *draught*.

"Any ideas, Dillinger?" Finally seeing this big, brash action classic on the big screen was brilliant. Connery and Cage work very well together, Harris's conflicted villain dominates his scenes and bullets and booms abound. Love the flares shot too. imdb.com/title/tt011750…

John Featherstone Only Connery could deliver ‘Pershonally I think ur a fucking idiot’ and make it the best line in the movie. Connery is 99.9% of this movie’s Cool

"Relax, I only killed the car..." Statham, De Niro and Owen in a strange, hard-to-fathom action movie packed full of violence, obvs. The highlight was The Stath winning a three-way fight while tied to a chair. You just can't beat that shit, really. imdb.com/title/tt144875…

"Why don't you get your broomstick and fly home?" Fred & Ginger's final movie is a spectacular, colourful musical that MGM really threw the dollars at. Shoes With Wings On, Oscar Levant's piano playing and womanising and the witticisms were highlights. imdb.com/title/tt004115…

"Do you ride in cabs or do you just trot alongside?" Often laugh-out-loud funny with (yet another) exceptional comic performance from ultimate film star Cary Grant, working from a tight script and with a perfect cast. 88 pleasant minutes of silliness. imdb.com/title/tt002928…

"It was like standing behind a glass wall while everybody else got on with missing me..." First saw this in the former cognac distillery where I worked in 2004 - and I loved it. Less so now, apart from that Walker Brothers bit and the Charlie Chaplin gag. imdb.com/title/tt010312…

I'll be leaving here in a few weeks (my final tweet is prepared) and I'd love you to join me on The Other Place. I'm johnfeath.bsky.social. Join me!

It's a WRAP!!! Novel no.6 AKA #TheCinemaOfCancelledStars stands at 109,187 words for its first draft. Exhausting - but I absolutely *loved* every second spent writing it. #amwriting #BookTwitter

John Featherstone Very well done!

John Featherstone Amazing! Congratulations Feath. Let me know how I can get a copy when it’s ready to be let loose
