I thought TRAIN DREAMS was fine? It wasn’t near the best films I saw at LFF.

I see Wong Kar Wai’s BLOSSOMS is on @criterionchannl.bsky.social I don’t really watch tv shows but might have to give it a look.

Now watching Decision to Leave. Not the biggest fan of Park Chan Wook

Next up a rewatch of my fav Bela Tarr movie

I am now playing KCD and KCD II simultaneously 🤒

Watching an unseen Satyajit Ray

Best open world games Fallout 3 BOTW Elden Ring KCD II

Replaying the game of the year KCD II rather than wasting my time playing garbage.

Now watching WINTER IN SOCKCHO

Glorious

Last four watched @letterboxd.social

Done with Ghost Of Yotei. Couldn’t finish it. One of the most boring games I have ever played.

Happy Noirvember to all who celebrate! On the Criterion Channel, enjoy a wide array of private eyes, femmes fatales, toughs, and fall guys in our British Noir, Blackout Noir and Japanese Noir collections, plus so much more! 🖤

Hollywood was better when execs were just doing a lot of cocaine and greenlighting everything that sounded cool

👀

Images from films directed by Ingmar Bergman and shot by cinematographer Gunnar Fischer - BOTD in 1910 Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) The Seventh Seal (1957) Wild Strawberries (1957) The Magician (1958)

More Bergman arrived. I only needed one or two from this set but was the only way to get them.

Crazy how movies as great as these two are can easily be missed. GOODBYE JULIA. VALLEY OF SAINTS

Great weekend of movies.

The Running Man is further proof that Edgar Wright got lucky with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

Essential viewing.

At the cinema for PALESTINE 36.

First up today is VALLEY OF SAINTS

Insanely good.

Claude Sautet is criminally underrated.

I’ve seen MEAT KILLS being touted as good as some of the french extremity films and it is not true. It’s not particularly gory and it is utter shit

A tough one cos SG is better but also Lino Ventura.

Rosi’s finest film.

First watch of Bergman’s MUSIC IN DARKNESS

First of many Bergman discs I ordered that aren’t in the Criterion set.

Stop

Loved this. Arrives on Netflix soon

This a profoundly depressing read. The world is being wilfully destroyed by the worst people. We need a Night of the Long Knives for tech bros.

They should lock the second game behind it as well

No thanks.

Foolishly sold my Imamura box set years ago and now it’s £200+ 😭

Maybe I’ll bother to finish it now. The combat is abysmal.

This KCDII DLC is glorious

Now watching

Tonight it’s a rewatch of Bela Tarr’s THE MAN FROM LONDON

For #BeyondFriday this week we are going full down and dirty Italian with Andrea Bianchi's 1981 zombie film BURIAL GROUND. Expect nudity, madness, unending savagery and some wonderfully dodgy dubbing. A treat is in store for us all. See you on Friday at 11pm.

Yeh best streaming service there is @criterion.bsky.social

Between ebay and YouTube I’ve found almost all the Bergman films missing from the @criterion.bsky.social box set 🤌🏻

Setsuko Hara and Toshiro Mifune relaxing on the set of THE IDIOT (1951), based on the novel of the same name by Fyodor Dostoevsky - BOTD in 1821

Arc raiders chaos

KCD II DLC is up. One of the best games of 2025

I’m saddened to hear of the death of Homayoun Ershadi, who gave one of the great performances in one of the greatest films, Taste of Cherry. english.alarabiya.net/amp/life-sty...
