It was a good meeting. Productive. Positive. Good decisions and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After conclusion (the usual AOB and the usual after-meeting chat) I was walking down the corridor when I noticed a poster mounted on the wall. Before I go on I need to tell you a little about the Broadway Cinema. It&#8217;s an independent. Certain Really Big Name Hollywood Producers and Directors use the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham for preview showings. They&#8217;re not advertised, but a &#8216;preview&#8217; might pop up in the listings and you&#8217;d go along not knowing what you&#8217;re in store for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, back to the poster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m a fan of John Cusack. When I grow up I want to be John Cusack but there&#8217;s little chance of me ever growing up so that&#8217;s not likely to happen. I&#8217;m also a fan of Nick Hornby. His book Fever Pitch didn&#8217;t grab me much (being, as it is, about football), but About A Boy did and even higher on the grabbing me stakes comes High Fidelity. The book is about a record store owner in that North London and it&#8217;s a stunning piece of writing from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, they (whoever &#8216;they&#8217; are) made High Fidelity into a film but it accidentally got shifted from that North London to the USA (which is bad) but they (whoever &#8216;they&#8217; are again) put John Cusack in the lead role. Yay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;re probably wondering where all this is going now, aren&#8217;t you? Well, here&#8217;s the poster that is mounted on the wall just down from the boardroom of the Broadway Cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000081841-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000081841-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000081841-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000081841-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000081841-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000081841-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000081841-1170x878.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here&#8217;s a close-up of the important bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"915\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Nick.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Nick.png 915w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Nick-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Nick-768x331.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 915px) 100vw, 915px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Cusack&#8217;s head &#8211; autographed by Nick Hornby!
