Watched Terrified (2017) Original title Aterrados, is an Argentinian horror movie that can be quite disturbing & atmospheric while at other times can be over pedestrian. I would recommend watching in the original Spanish with subtitles over the English dub, which is not good. #movies #film #horror

And it was to this planet that unattended biros would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely biroid lifestyle, responding to highly biro-orientated stimuli, and generally leading the biro equivalent of the good life.

Still the greatest one-liner in television history.

Watched The Pope's Exorcist (2023). A pretty standard exorcism movie made different by starring Russel Crowe playing the title character who was also a real person, with the film being based on the book of his life. Crowe brings character to the role & the film looks good. #film #movies

Anyway, in case you missed it, some wondering from me about whether Kemi Badenoch has ever actually read Terry Pratchett www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

The BBC have put an episode of ‘Think Of A Number’ on YouTube. youtu.be/z30YWqAJAm4?...

My name is Ian and I'm a Brit. I'm worried.

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

"Ghastly," continued Marvin, "it all is. Absolutely ghastly. Just don't even talk about it."

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Watched The Monkey (2025). A fun adaptation of the Stephen King short story. Although some overplayed tropes can be seen coming, they are dealt with in such inventive over the top tongue in cheek ways that the film can be enjoyed on multiple watches. #film #movies

One from the October vaults! If you are looking for a guide to classic horror movies and creature features, you can't go wrong this classic tome - A Pictorial History of Horror Movies (1973) by Dennis Gifford

They Photoshopped the guns out of Bonds hands.... But left the gun in the logo... Make it make sense.

@steampowered.com Don't understand why age verification isn't working (I am in the UK) or even why I need it - I already have a card linked to my account, also I have had my account for more than 18 years...

Not unnaturally, many elevators imbued with intelligence and precognition became terribly frustrated with the mindless business of going up and down, up and down, experimented briefly with the notion of going sideways, as a sort of existential protest

Rewatched Kung Pow! Enter The Fist (2002). Following previous parodies like What's Up, Tiger Lily?, Kung Pow uses footage from a foreign film &creates its own comedy. Very silly but I appreciated it more on rewatch as it has heart & some clever ideas, & many of the jokes land. #movies #film

R.I.P. Jane Goodall. One of my absolute heroes.

A profound inspiration whose work genuinely made the world a better place. Thank you for everything, Dr. Goodall. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

I know some of you are Elvira fans: Buzzfeed did an interview with Cassandra Peterson to promote the new Elvira cookbook: www.buzzfeed.com/andrewfirrio...

"Perhaps I'm old and tired," he continued, "but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied. Look at me: I design coastlines. I got an award for Norway."

Italian painter Renato Casaro has passed. His movie posters defined a lot of the 80s for me.

“Ah," said Mr Pin. "Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens." He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'. - Terry Pratchett, The Truth

And in these dark times, a hero will rise to lead us...

A point and click banquet. All great, but prioritise Old Skies, Unavowed, and The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow.

This is Gus. His brother Walter is trying to teach him how to catch a treat. Sadly it may be a lost cause. Still 13/10 for both (IG: waltandgusthebernese)

Watched Dead Shack (2017) A lovely little low budget comedy horror gem. Some of the younger cast's acting is a bit ropey but the dad is very funny & the biggest name, Lauen Holly is very good playing against type in an unexpected role. Lots of laughs & originality. #film #movies

I wonder who first went "Wahey!" then convinced others it was the correct sound to make under the circumstances.

Still the darkness thrummed at them, the blank enclosing darkness. It seemed closer and closer, thicker and thicker, heavier and heavier. And suddenly it was gone. They flew out of the cloud. They saw the staggering jewels of the night in their infinite dust and their minds sang with fear.

It's Saturday! 📺 Post a cartoon TV series you love.

Wild Trailer For Jackie Chan's Action Thriller THE SHADOW'S EDGE Teases Cool Fight Scenes

Rewatched The Day After Tomorrow (2004) for the first time after seeing it at the cinema. I remember sitting there wondering why I had bothered & laughing inside at the frost chase scene. Probably the worst film I saw on the big screen & I have seen some howlers. #movies #film

this is why we need to bring back shame there need to be consequences for being a huge asshole, there need to be standards for how you behave in a decent society the rules cannot be set by the worst of us

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

“Young people signed off work for life”. Yeah, and? We have chronic conditions that are not going to get better. Age is irrelevant. Also, we’re not “signed off for life”. If by some miracle things improved, we could go and get a new fit note and go back to work.

A class-action suit against major entertainment companies by people with disabilities might right the ship on this. So would a provision in a revised & expanded Americans with Disabilities Act. (If you reply with some variation of, "There's no hope, the bad guys won" it's an insta-block)

Honestly I'm surprised it's taken this long for lamp post flags to appear near me as its a very chavvy part of the neighbourhood, but it still makes me sad and angry.

1/3 Booked a regular gardener last month. 2 hours every 2 weeks. First day, booked for 11:15, arrives 1:15. Fine. Maybe missed out a number in diary. For the next two weeks ignores messages & doesn't turn up two weeks later. I stop messaging - guess he doesn't want the job. Today out of the blue..
