Thanks to whoever recommended The Holdovers (Andy?). What a lovely, brilliant film.

It did nothing to diminish my fantasy of having a couple of years as a tweedy academic teaching a very obscure subject at a rural American university.

Also checked the movie news this morning to find that Michael Mann is about to start shooting Heat 2 with Adam Driver as the young Neil McAuley. The book is really good so fingers crossed for the film.

In the meantime, freshly released video from last year.

Andy posted it a couple of days ago

Missed that...

I think Shurt means reported contemporaneously, as opposed to in a video published months (possibly over a year?) later. Considering that 8C is still perfectly newsworthy especially for a Brit, yet here's two which to my knowledge were completely unknown publicly till now. I don't think even Remus had these on climbing history until this vid!

In true Aiden style I'm not sure if some or all of these have been reported? Maybe they were done when he was there doing new midnight thing don't know. Great vid though

I have very fond memories of Cliff. He was a gentle soul. RIP Captain.

Kong Skull Island , gloriously silly entertainment. Don't expect to be intellectually challenged but it is fun to watch. I wouldn't have gone to a cinema to see it, but since it's on Netflix, it's worth watching.

That's sad news. A great character in the UK climbing scene during my formative years.People like him and Minksi were legends in the real sense of the word.

Opus a film showing Ryuchi Sakamoto playing the piano.
Certainly not to everyone's taste but I was transfixed.
Mistakes, rueful smiles and grimaces  all captured in b/w.
He died shortly after the film was completed.
