It remains mystifying to me that modern Doctor Who never did a capybara alien akin to the Judoon and the Cat Nuns.

WHERE DO I VOTE

Why slog through these when you could read this Algernon Blackwood story, in which the protagonist's brilliant plan to outwit the serial killer he's confronting is to get precisely drunk enough that he achieves a state of pissed lucidity.

Always amusing to see people bringing up the same half a dozen names who could've played the role if they'd started five or more years ago, but who'll look like Roger in AVTAK by the fourth film Amazon's planning for.

It's so cheesy I love it. BRIAN MAY! HARMONY GUITARS! FLASH! AA-AAAAH! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwSp...

Pasolini's 120 Days of Sodom is coming to Fortnite with skins, map landmarks, hero weapons, and more.

The producer of my last short did a short film about a killer Pomeranian originally titled "Good Boy," which had to be retitled after *another* short about a killer Pomeranian called "Good Boy" was released onto the festival circuit the same year.

I have always found Henry vacuum cleaners a bit unsettling. Like the toy telephone from Skinamarink.

Now do the Lawrence of Arabia match cut. 🔥

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

Embarking on @raynewman.bsky.social's latest, and on the evidence so far, it looks like another fantastic collection of weird tales... Here's where you can get a copy: precastreinforced.co.uk/2026/04/30/t...

Tony Stella, an artist of immense brilliance and prolific output, has passed away. He was one of the greatest artists to ever do it. Rest in peace, Tony.

Bruce Robinson is 80. The brilliant thing about Withnail & I is that it’s a comedy until Withnail is left all alone. He delivers this piercingly melancholy soliloquy to an audience of wolves & we see that this vain fool is actually talented & will never be able to show it: youtu.be/4WnNL67PEKU?...

Happy May Day everyone

I must hear @dieworkwear.bsky.social's thoughts on this.

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

It's the way of the future.

Very much enjoying Rivals, but it is slightly distracting how much the bloke playing Rupert Campbell-Black looks like Robbie Rotten from LazyTown.

Probably the best thing Ritchie's done. Effortlessly cool, and genuinely baffling that it never got a sequel at the time (less so now, in light of Actual Cannibal Armie Hammer…).

I adore Ray's books - he's among the finest writers of contemporary ghost stories and weird fiction - and now there are ten more to devour! 📚👻

New trend unlocked! "shoegaze horror; films and games that fixate on liminal spaces, ambient sound, and emotional drift. In this mode, terror comes less from what happens than from how long we’re made to stand inside it."

OTD, 23 April, is the date universally accepted as the anniversary of both the birth and the death of playwright William Shakespeare.

These are just continuity Polaroids for Inside No. 9.

Local hills filled with UFO enthusiasts every weekend, camping out on Cradle Hill waiting for visitors from outer space. To celebrate the craziest thing that has ever happened to Warminster there is a mural dedicated to The Thing. It was updated last year to celebrate the 60th anniversary. 🛸 #UFO

🧵🛸It all started in 1964 and rolled on into the early 70s. It was the UFO phenomena of the time and it all happened in a sleepy Wiltshire town, Warminster, terrorising locals. 1000's of sightings/ audio of 'The Warminster Thing' occured during that time. #UFO #warminsterthing

RIP. His 40K novels were the purest expression of the baroque lunacy of the setting, and his original sci-fi work an inspiration.

Just finished (re) watching ITV's A Spy Among Friends - the only espionage drama I've seen that stands alongside the one-two punch of the Alec Guinness Tinker, Tailor and Smiley's People. youtu.be/Sup7AGbwwMc?...

Once there were two barbers on the same street. One decided to undercut the other on price, advertising $5 HAIRCUTS! and the other one stuck up a sign saying WE FIX $5 HAIRCUTS. If you want to get in at the ground floor of a whole new business sector, set up a company that fixes AI messes.
