Just a reminder of what an absolute c*nt Farage is: he wants to scrap the benefits of people who legally work and pay their taxes in Britain, yet the greasy f*cker happily slurps down his fat EU pension - paid for by the very European citizens he spent years spewing bile at. Parasite in a suit.

Don't care what it is, I'm buying this record immediately.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched an interesting week :-)

Am I gonna see any of you folks tomorrow? I mean, besides @thejoedante.bsky.social, who I'm doing the Q&A with. Come on! PIRANHA and DAY OF THE DEAD in 4K restorations! Gonna be a blast! vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/piran...

These stories are some of the best I've ever read. Dark gothic faerie tales that together weave a larger tapestry from the stories that they tell. Angela is an astonishingly good writer. Each collection was a heady brew, novels in mosaic, together they're a world to get drunk on and lost in.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Fantastic interview!

It is my firm contention that POINT BREAK is good for the soul. *Original only. Accept no substitutes.

Imagine a version of “The Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’”—except the townspeople continued to listen to the boy for years—shooting anyone he called a “wolf”—and *stopped* listening to anyone who dared to say he was lying.

Just putting this out there for any potential interested parties: my fella is an amazing editor who has done fantastic work on special features for several distro companies now & is always looking for new projects. He's an expert in motion graphics, design, sound & color. Can send examples - cheers!

got my ass to this surreally small Play Dirty screening with a Shane Black Q&A by the skin of my teeth. featuring surprise moderator Robert Downey Jr.

C&B has been dying a slow death for months, and it seems that no one cares. Support articles like the one below; soon they won't be anywhere on the internet. For the last time, we are asking you to help us survive; please share this link with all your friends: cinephiliabeyond.org/donate2024/

Another amazing book by @samouflage.bsky.social to put on these bookshelves! Young Sam led a life young Sean dreamed of, and he writes about it winningly in Confessions of a Brian De Palma Protégé, an exhaustive companion to his previous gem, I Was a Teenage Monster Hunter. Congrats Sam!

Her concern with landscapes and living creatures was passionate. This concern, feebly called, “the love of nature” seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love.

Took me a moment to get it...

I let myself become really isolated in recent years. I was out and about by myself this afternoon and reminded that I do attract the randoms when I'm out there. I think they sense that I *will* talk to them. Today there was the guy who asked me what day it is, explaining 1/3

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

Like Walter, it's worth just being clear. Trans rights are human rights. If you feel different, it's best you unfollow me *now*.

For those who don’t know - we all have estrogen & testosterone in our bodies. The only difference are the levels. Cis men adjust theirs for lifting weights and insecurity. Cis women adjust theirs for menopause. Trans people do it to feel inner peace. That’s literally it. No conspiracy. No mystery.

DC comics planting their flag on the moral high ground on the side of a white nationalist, transphobe while dutifully carrying on his rotten work in the firing of Gretchen Felker-Martin. The characters of the DC universe would find this despicable.

Jesus fucking Christ...

If you have a Prime account, there's a coupon to purchase the queer horror movie encyclopedia to which I contributed for 45 dollars (normally 75 dollars!). #queerhorror #LGBTQhorror #gayhorror a.co/d/6ca4CTD

🤩

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Nice!

You knowe how yn legendes someone doth fynde a cursed sworde that bringeth ruin upon them but thei do not cast it asyde by cause *part of the curse* ys that thei believe it ys a powirful magic sworde that ys helpinge ynstead of hurtinge? Anywaye, Gen AI...

For true innovacioun, we neede poetrye, philosophye, ethics, and the studye of historye and literature and language. We neede to fynde newe wayes of wearinge our heartes, new dreames of the future. Technologye alone will onlye make bettir tooles for makinge olde injustices happen faster.

Art House of Horror is a 10 film series I’ve co-programmed with the Coolidge Corner Theatre in tandem with a five-week class that I’ll be teaching starting Tuesday, September 30. Full lineup: coolidge.org/programs/art...

Sometimes little things just sort of hit me. Today it was this: Paul Verhoeven was 78 years old when he made ELLE.

Watched A Man for All Seasons last night. It was a bit good.

Thinking of the how many incredible cinematic artists and craftspeople there are who aren't celebrated in their lifetimes, who are at risk of leaving us without the chance to know how much they meant to us and share their incredible knowledge and experiences. I would like to change this.

This slayed me this morning 😂

It ys a such challenging, turbulent, scarye tyme. My greatest wisshe ys that you may fynde sum small moment of peace, delight, mirthe, pleasure, discoverye, connectioun, or fascinacioun that doth make yower day just a litel bettir. Ich wisshe thys for thee wyth all of myne hearte.

I'm glad it exists, but... They did a 4K UHD of SNEAKERS *without* @priscillapage.bsky.social ?!?! :-(

Essential!

Sharing again - really wanting to get momentum over at Ghost since I made the switch. It was important for me to get off of Substack & I'm waiting for things to close up over there soon. Shares/subs (free & paid) are greatly appreciated - cheers y'all! 🖤💀

Great writeup in the Guardian! www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Hardly a revelation, but Amazon's automated customer service is shit, eh?

When Amazon say they've delivered to your letterbox, but they haven't and you don't know whose letterbox they might have delivered to instead :-/

One of my worst neurodivergent traits is not easily recognising how tired I am. Like it *really* take a long time (weeks or months sometimes) to click that it's bad enough to be an actual problem.

Finished Olga Tokarczuk's Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead this morning and was sad to turn the final page

Today I have what I can only describe as a seemingly dislocated brain.

Weather-worn gravestones and carved stone face (the teeth just visible in the mouth slightly creeped me).

Weatherbeaten stone in the churchyard of St. Bartholomew's at Newbiggin-by-the-sea, Northumberland.

Love Boorman, love @davidkittredge.bsky.social, love Exorcist II: The Heretic. Can't wait to see this!

Bluesky right now ...

Thei wante us talkinge on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.
