I had a long post planned for when this happened, which was going to say that we shouldn’t fall for the caricature version of her that’s going to be presented in the next few days (by the Right as much as the Left) and focus on her legacy- which is quite toxic- and her heirs- who are doing far more damage than she ever did. But I have two children to look after today, so I’ll keep it brief. Link to this post! James Herbert died earlier this week.

Tony Scott didn’t produce the grand visions that Ridley does, but I bet his films were more successful than his brother’s. They may just have been throw away action movies, but he still created some of the most memorable ones out there. I’d even watch The Last Boy Scout again if it was on tonight (but not Man On Fire).
