I’m watching Joe Dante’s THE MOVIE ORGY and this clip has just come up and oh my god how have I not seen this before. Ignore the few people who are good at dancing and concentrate on the pissed-off looking people doing the walking-back-and-forth dance. youtu.be/1zuKDB1l_9s?...

Hearing that Andrew will be spending the weekend fishing at Balmoral.

I can see why he’d be in favour of vertical video.

I like the idea of stopping TAXI DRIVER when Travis and Betsy go to see SEXUAL FREEDOM IN DENMARK.

Many of you probably know this, but in 1862 - while Manchester millworkers were starving because the Union army had blockaded the Southern states and almost no cotton was being exported - the working people of Manchester wrote to Abraham Lincoln, to support the blockade that was taking their jobs. >

This is what I've been doing with my time recently. Can't remember when I last enjoyed helping to compile a festival retrospective programme so much. These films are subversive, outrageous, WTF & bonkers, a full complement of extraordinary horror & sci-fi classics that deserve to be rediscovered.

EXORCISING FRANCO: SPANISH GENRE CINEMA 1968-1983. This is a FANTASTIC restrospective, featuring not just classics like WHO CAN KILL A CHILD?, LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE, THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED, CANNIBAL MAN, BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE, ARREBATO... www.offscreen.be/en/offscreen...

I appear to be in an airbnb owned by a member of the current line-up of The Dogs d’Amour.

Just hope this guy isn’t the captain of an industrial trawling vessel.

RIP Frederick Wiseman

You know you've made it as an author when no one will properly edit you, and your books are now shit.

Only if you are scared of a decimal point.

Versions of Wuthering Heights RANKED! 1. Luis Buñuel 2. Yoshishige Yoshida 3. Andrea Arnold 4. William Wyler 5. Jaques Rivette

Whilst I don’t like the superior tone of the end of this, the last 25 years of my life has been a series of giving up things which I had often enjoyed since childhood, because I needed the time to do something else instead. These have included soap operas, liking football, and playing video games.

Wife is on a school trip with Chas Chandler’s wife, daughter, and grandson.

Béla Bartók's DUKE BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE, as adapted and directed by Leslie Megahey (SCHALCKEN THE PAINTER) for the BBC, 1988. Probably my favourite opera, and it was stumbling across the ending of this film that first turned me on to it.

Did anyone manage to get that Thurston Moore NOW JAZZ NOW book? I’ve never seen it be in stock anywhere, and there isn’t even a link to buy it on the website anymore.

The more I think about this pair ever existing the more I begin to understand why this country is the way it is x

Kier Starmer after Morgan McSweeney has been gone for less than a week:

What is the AI poster font, and why is there only one?

Why does this building look like it’s saying “Pheven”? x

Watching the Winter Olympics and remembering something Ahir Shah told me once. Posh people do dangerous sports, like skiing, because if they break a leg and have to spend weeks in bed off work, they don’t stop earning. Think it might be as good a class test as what you call your settee.

New poster I made for Radley Metzger’s THE IMAGE, playing at @spectacletheater.com. One of my favorite films, adapted from the banned novel by Catherine Robbe-Grillet. New 4K restoration by @therialtoreport.bsky.social & Distribpix, via @muscledistribution.bsky.social @schlockvalue.bsky.social 🌹⛓️

the most anti-LGBT+ government since Thatcher is also the government with the most links to paedophiles since Thatcher. what an odd coincidence that requires no further thought or inspection

Why is Tim Robinson in this Steely Dan tribute band?

Had a million plans for today/tonight and then my son has spent all day voiding his stomach contents all over the place and I’ve done precisely fuck all and expect to achieve the same tomorrow!

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

[RIP actress Peggy Steffans, 87, who married sex film director Joe Sarno and appeared in DEATH OF A NYMPHETTE (1967), COME RIDE THE WILD PINK HORSE (1967), SCARF OF MIST THIGH OF SATAN (1967), and ALL THE SINS OF SODOM (1968). Peggy and Joe starred in the 2013 documentary, A LIFE IN DIRTY MOVIES.]

Wes Streeting will get annihilated during a leadership campaign and it will be very funny to see.

Whilst we are all posting bangers not in English… youtu.be/t4Jo26CQfR0?...

Been waiting to see this since I first heard about it!

In a touching tribute to his mentor, Morgan McSweeney has resigned in disgrace.

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

Enjoying a Sunday morning snooze.

Out again for IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT. I hope he’s not here tonight…

Popped to the pub whilst I wait to pick up my daughter and having to listen to a man recount to a friend a holiday he took in Greece 25 years ago in excruciating detail. Like Paul Theroux would have left half this shit out.

Would it be ok if we don’t start calling him Jeff?

“Keir Starmer is in a dark place” Yeah he might only get his forever PM’s pension and his DPP pension that he has a special law for and his law firm pensions and all the shares he got insider info on and not an extra consultancy job pension

Pay MPs minimum wage, put them up in dormitories when they're in London, no second jobs, if they don't do their constituency surgeries they go to fucking prison.

Went to see NO OTHER CHOICE last night, and there was a man doing that performative laughter that dickheads do at the slightest gag, but he also loudly went ‘uh oh!’ whenever the lead character was in trouble.

Apparently, CHARLEY VARRICK almost starred Clint Eastwood. I'm so glad he decided not to do it. Matthau is perfection in the role. Clint would have upset the perfect balance of the film we ended up with.

He looks like the presenter of a hate speech podcast.
