Beetlejuice (1988)
Adam: Cabin fever, hon?
Barbara: Well, I can't clean anything properly. The vacuum's out in the garage and we can't leave the house. Why don't they tell us something? I mean, where are all the other dead people in the world? Why is it just you and me?
Adam: Maybe this is heaven.
Barbara: In heaven there wouldn't be dust on everything.

Lo sapevo che ti saresti rifatta viva, maledetta. Quelle come te non si smentiscono mai. Puntuale come un incubo ricorrente, torni a infastidirmi. Sempre pronta a ferirmi, a privarmi della tranquillità. Ti nutri della mia sofferenza, pensando oltretutto di farla franca. Ma stavolta non succederà, sventurata. La tua malvagità verrà punita. ...

The Graveyard Book is being adapted as a live-action feature to be written and directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, The Brave One, Ondine). The story is Gaiman’s nod to The Jungle Book where a young boy is raised by the ghostly, ghoulish occupants of a graveyard, instead of animals. It sounds like the project is moving forward the exact same as it was earlier this year. Wayfare...

Everything But the Girl were one of a wave of bands who emerged from the post-punk diaspora and found themselves in the shiny new world of 1980s pop. Their music suffered, as did their morale. “The pressures were so stupid and so uncomfortable for people of our generation,” says Thorn. “We’re regarded as an 80s group but many of our ideals were very 70s – good old-fashioned...

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in...

When you die, you step outside of time - there’s no “now” - and meet everyone at the same time, where you’re all coming together as one. Yes, Heaven is a Drive Shaft gig: altogether now, “You all, everybody!”

That play of black upon white, white upon black, has the intent and takes the form of creative art. It has in it a flow of the spirit and a harmony of music. Everything is lost when suddenly a false note is struck, or one party in a duet suddenly launches forth on an eccentric flight of his own. A masterpiece of a game can be ruined by insensitivity to the feelings of an adversary.

With a whole generation of rock stars from my youth now entering old age, metal is going to have get used to its heroes passing not in plane crashes, or from the effects of partying, or in other rock’n’roll ways. They are going to die of the things that kill ordinary people, a reminder that the swords and sorcery are not real, and that beneath the leather and the hair lurk real people...

Apparently Maverick is back, now a Top Gun instructor with a young, female protege. Yes: Tom Cruise is playing Kelly McGillis. Ridiculousness potential: Titanic, gargantuan, impossible to overstate.

He was the headwaiter at a London hotel in the early 19th century, and the eponymous gin punch was originally named for him - though not created by him. According to cocktail historian and author David Wondrich, the recipe for a similar gin punch was circulating around London at the time. The name changed...
