Yours truly earlier today at Tintern Abbey, where Iron Maiden filmed the video for "Can I Play With Madness", on the day of Bruce Dickinson's birthday of all days.

"We've definitely got a name for being conceited, arrogant swines... as such," offers Billy MacKenzie, unprompted. "And a lot of aspects of that is true. You just get a feeling from certain people: there's the two show-offs."

DRIVE (2011) makes a getaway feel like a chess match, with Ryan Gosling’s Driver using basketball commentary to track the game while monitoring police radio. Then NIGHTCALL takes over as LA lights up. Nicolas Winding Refn knew exactly how to set a mood.

Celebrating the late, great Udo Kier on his birthday! 🖤🦇🩸⚰️
Now on the Criterion Channel, you can watch two of his most infamous horror collaborations with maverick filmmaker Paul Morrissey: BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) and FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN (1973).

"I don't believe art is an intellectual pursuit because you can't put an IQ on dreams. The best drug for me is 8 hours sleep. Dreams are my acid because the dreams I have are so riotously Dalí that no amount of pharmaceuticals can give me that."

A Della Scala through and through. A highly enlightened ruler and city developer, while at the same time a keen enthusiast of the family sport of fratricide. Fascinating how the Della Scala lords filled our city with nice things while offing one another with gusto.
#Verona
Medieval Lord of Verona, ‘Lord Dog’ Cansignorio della Scala (1340-1375), wears chainmail armour as he sits astride his warhorse on his Gothic tomb in Verona, Veneto, Italy. The della Scala (of the stairs) or Scaliger family emblem of a ladder is cut into his chest.

An album that quite literally changed my life as a teenager. Happy 90th to Steve Reich.
Young James Spader and Michael Madsen is one of the 80s screen pairings I wish we had seen (the pilot was not picked up).
