What a fabulous weekend at the Film Noir Fest run by @filmnoiruk.bsky.social! I managed to watch 13 Noir and Crime films on the big screen! Highlights for me were seeing The Asphalt Jungle, Rififi and Gun Crazy on the big screen. And the best new film to me was Plunder Road. #filmsky

Excellent first full day of the @filmnoiruk.bsky.social #FilmNoirFest! Managed 5 films today and gonna try for 6 more tomorrow(!). You can find all the films screening tomorrow here, from On Dangerous Ground onwards: boxd.it/Otngg Tickets available here: wsm.merlincinemas.co.uk/offers/film-...

A weekend of danger, desire, and despair starts today in the shape of @filmnoiruk.bsky.social’s 2nd #FilmNoirFest at the Plaza Cinema, Weston-super-Mare. Expect plenty of #FilmNoir and crime action. Singular tickets (nearly all £5 each) are still available: wsm.merlincinemas.co.uk?forcechoice=...

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

#FilmNoir fans! Our #FilmNoirFest 2025 schedule is now up and running! Plus, individual ticket sales are now available as well. More info: www.southwestsilents.com/copy-of-fest...

One of the more interesting Beatles covers I’ve heard, which I was introduced to on KMHD tonight. youtu.be/Kp0n-461fg8?...

A little treat for Empire Strikes Back fans: extensive description of Leigh Brackett's contributions to the screenplay, which were substantial, especially in terms of subplots and locations. www.denofgeek.com/movies/star-...

This festival was brilliant last year so definitely give it a try this year if Film Noir is your thing! Can’t wait!

Had a great time at Secret Cinema Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical today! The cast were all superb and it was all so brilliantly put together - almost no queues at all for food/drink and a great atmosphere and celebration of the film. If you’re on the fence about going then definitely go for it!

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal make move for Eberechi Eze + 27yo wants them. Tottenham lined up deal with #CPFC today & player but after Havertz injury + #AFC now closing in on England in’l. If he proceeds with choice, #THFC will pursue other targets @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/656...

new and improved. now with more guys etc

If 'Salt Path' moved or even inspired you, get ready for the comedown of all comedowns. Superb work by investigative journalist @chloehadj.bsky.social.

Time to play "What's the Score?" You get 1 point per correct movie title, and 2 points for each correct composer you name. NO audio lookups, please. Send your answers to my DM, and we will give you your scores later today. Good luck! #filmsky #moviesky #musicsky #filmscores #games

I just opened up Bluesky to say the same thing. Terrible obituary for Michael Madsen in the Guardian filled with inaccuracies.

Is it that time of the year already? Amity, as you know, means friendship...so, join us as we chart those fateful shark-related events on Amity Island as they unfolded over the next few days as breaking news items. #jawsinrealtime ⏰

This is great fun if you’re in the UK and looking for something to watch this evening.

I remember my first experience of using headphones as a kid, with my mom’s Walkman in the 90s— the music felt “non-diegetic,” like it was coming from nowhere, the score to my life. I fantasized about being in the “opening credits” sequence of my own TV show. It was intoxicating

I went down a rabbit hole. Looking at Google's search results, the individual film review of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning that it's given the most prominence to isn't from a big outlet. It's from someone who appears to have written two movie reviews in their life. #filmsky #ai

This looks interesting.

Sharing again. Sorry for the self-promo. I’m really proud of this book and the complete Warner history is a hell of a story! They battled Edison, bankers, the Great Depression, domestic Nazis, gangsters, and everything in between!

Please take 6 minutes to watch this brilliant and moving film by @anthonysutcliffe.com starring Nick Hendrix from #MidsomerMurders

youtu.be/JnXOE6FFoWA I've just launched my latest short film online so I'd love it if you could give it a watch - it's only 6 minutes! Thanks very much. #filmsky #moviesky

Very interesting thread on the racism of D.W. Griffith. #filmsky

#JustWatched The Wizard of Oz (1933) ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Has any other film ever been as perfectly cast as this? Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr & Frank Morgan are all so damned charming! And along with Margaret Hamilton & Billie Burke, their portrayals couldn’t be more iconic.

I really, really enjoyed A Real Pain today. A very funny film with lots to say about life and trauma, and how we handle it. I found it very moving. Great performances and beautifully directed.

Film Stories editor Simon Brew has a book out! We've got two copies to give away too: signed or unsigned, your choice. The latter is more valuable. Follow and repost to enter! #MidsomerWinter

everything about this new Meta AI bot is so dystopian but for me the AI-generated images of nonexistent donated coats is up there

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

I'm going to this later day. Hopefully see some of you there!
