If I ever got to make a Star Wars movie it would be an Assault On Precinct 13 homage. Squad of troopers in a seige situation, desperately trying to stay alive in the hope that help may finally arrive, twist being that it's only in the final seconds you discover you've been rooting for the Imperials

Another Carpenter masterpiece. The pacing, sound design, score, beautiful character work and effortless tension and action. As good as it gets from a director who is as good as it gets. #BeyondFriday

What a classic. Proof that some directors are just great from the very start of their careers. Cheers to Jay for a great pick and goodnight. #beyondfriday youtu.be/PjmIY2Jaiwk?...

Leigh and Napoleon acting like classic lesbians seeing someone tney're into across the room; staring intensely at each other and yet still doing absolutely nothing about the obvious mutual attraction #BeyondFriday

Assault on Precinct 13? Better than I remember. Maybe not top tier Carpenter (The Thing, Escape from New York) but very close and the cast are wonderful . #beyondfriday

"I have moments." I submit to the court that dudes do indeed rock. M'lud, I rest my case. #beyondfriday

It is sensational how explosive this sounds in such a contained space. It's basically all-out warfare in a cupboard. #BeyondFriday

SUPPORT YOUR LOC POLIC #beyondfriday

Uncritically in favour of any megainfrastructure benefiting Ireland that Britain is willing to pay for.

This looks interesting. #beyondfriday

Laurie Zimmer walked to Linda Fiorentino could run. #beyondfriday

Fuck me that is sexual tension. Attention all those looking to make so-called erotic thrillers: that's the kind of sweaty, palpable look you need to be aiming for. #BeyondFriday

American love - like Coca Cola in heavy vending machines in cop stations - they don't make it anymore. #beyondfriday

Class. It's all just so class. I fucking love seeing someone blown away with a shotgun, it's the little things #BeyondFriday

Carpenter is riffing on Howard Hawks Rio Bravo here. But the visceral impact of Napoleon's blasting shotgun is pure Peckinpah. Also, that shooting was just awesome. #beyondfriday

The catching the gun and firing it worthy of Woo. #beyondfriday

In the old days if phone lines were down, you could not contact anyone. Thankfully we now have multiple lines of censored ommunications thanks to paedophile fascist billionaires. #beyondfriday

"Fabulous as usual."... "Life seems to just pass us by." I like this guy! I'm sure he's not a wrong 'un. #beyondfriday

Impossible to respect people that allow themselves to be openly robbed on this level. From Congress to the courts to ordinary voters, Americans have become slow, stupid and pathetic -- a citizenry incapable of operating our once-promising experiment with self-governance. We are, all of us, marks.

Could these things be linked? Could there be a theory of power and patriarchy that allowed these men to abuse women?

There was a strange moment in the 70s when hardcore pornography was being shown in Times Square, and at the same time a woman in a rolled-neck sweater could make a young man's heart beat. #beyondfriday

Everyone in the past looked older. I bet this guy in the corduroy jacket was actually 17. #beyondfriday

FUCKING HELL #BeyondFriday

A brutal kill that made this movie a classic. But Carpenter is demonising the Irish again with this ginger psycho. Seriously guys. Micheal Myers. Sliver Shamrock. What's his problem? #beyondfriday

Austin Stoker is great in this. Is there a reason he was never in another Carpenter movie? #beyondfriday

Democrats want elections to be run by the states, per the Constitution. Republicans want elections to be run by federal agents loyal to Donald Trump. The voters themselves? They just want the squabbling to stop.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

"I don't sit in chairs as well as I used to." Can I recommend deadlifts? #beyondfriday

#beyondfriday is a Carpenter movie? Oh I'm here.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

New Atheism in Ireland was based on an awareness of the Catholic Church and its abuse scandals, and then New Atheism turned right around and quickly became about defending high-ranking abusive men.

BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

Wild stuff from Jonathan here, contingent as it is upon everyone agreeing to pretend they don’t know him and his mates fought for years to put the Peter Mandelson wing of the party back in charge, and that their core aim in all of their careers was to be much like Peter Mandelson.

Richard Dawkins. Steven Pinker. Lawrence Krauss. Jonathan Haidt. Robert Trivers. Prominent atheists and scientists who have pushed anti-trans propaganda for years. They all had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Some received huge research grants and island trips, and all of them benefited from their ties.

this is very funny www.foxnews.com/media/jd-van...

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

I worked with someone who was a cameraman on the original Muppet Show back in the 1970s. They used to shoot it live on a Saturday night from a studio in London, and he wistfully recalled that the after show parties were “hands down the wildest nights of my life”…

There are literally 100s of flood relief schemes in place, and only a handful have been judicially reviewed. Enniscorthy hasn't even got planning permission but judicial review is being blamed for delay.

"Every single day for four years I have thought about Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt gloating that you can dismantle a democracy right in front of a liberal's face piece by piece and all they'll do is convene committee meetings till the boots are in the halls." ― Anthony Oliveira (@meakoopa.bsky.social)
