HOME ALONE premiered 34 years ago today 😱 Here’s a great deleted scene of Harry and Marv that should have stayed in the movie.

HOME ALONE premiered 34 years ago today 😱 It still blows my mind that JOHN WILLIAMS wrote this incredible score for a ‘family’ movie. Here he is conducting it with a full orchestra and choir. 🤯

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed. If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them in the aftermath. uk.bookshop.org/shop/Storyvill…

I wrote in the Guardian today about The Labour Party’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, which proposes handing AI companies the life’s work of Britain’s creators for free. The government must reconsider. We can be a leader in AI without throwing the creative industries under the bus.

Late at night in 1969, still in her pyjamas, hair in rollers and four months pregnant, MERRY CLAYTON was asked by THE ROLLING STONES to provide backing vocals to GIMME SHELTER. The isolated vocal track of the recording is astonishing.

Oasis somehow exceeded all of my expectations last night. A moment in history. I’ve never seen so much euphoria in one place. Do whatever you can to see them on this tour. It’s worth every penny!

My hero RICHARD BURTON passed away 41 years ago today at just 58 years of age. Here he is in reflective mood, post Elizabeth Taylor divorce, and off the booze, returning to his home town Pontrhydyfen in 1977.
