Done. Can't wait to get started!

What

This time next week I will be in Wellington for the sole and explicit purpose of going to Unity Books and picking up a copy of Hoods Landing by Laura Vincent. www.unitybooks.co.nz/products/hoo...

It's #Noirvember and also the @overlandjournal.bsky.social Subscriberthon! Here's a piece on the joys of themed viewing I wrote for Overland a few years ago, plus a reminder to: watch noir and support great independent publications. overland.org.au/2022/11/noir...

Robert Ryan welcomes you to Noir Month 2025! letterboxd.com/soundslikeci...

October 31st / November 1st

Love Peter Watkins. I wrote this last time I watched Privilege, one of my literal favourite movies: boxd.it/4JLHSr

44 horror films all told. Absolutely no idea how I fit them all in when it has been one of the busiest and most full-on months of my life. Still, great fun. Next up: noir!

A wild warning from one of the daybills hanging on our wall. (Points if you can name the movie!)

How many have you seen?

How many have you seen?

A list for the final week of October! This skews towards things I've watched recently because it's tough to remember obscure movies I haven't logged. letterboxd.com/soundslikeci...

Should I do this? I could do this.

Just got a special delivery to my door! Exciting. Can't wait to dig into this. Fantastic work @zoekeansci.bsky.social and all the great writers involved. Long live human writing!

I'm totally over the moon about this set - I've got a commentary and an essay on there - because it looks so beautiful! This stuff is so wild and I cannot wait to see just how gorgeous the films are all together.

Finally upgraded my copy of Opera. No way am I parting with the VHS though!

I've made a #Letterboxd list of horrors that have spooked or tickled me over the years. A few classics, a few derided, a few that received little if any attention. Something different & something weird! 31 films to assist on your #31DaysOfHalloween jaunt. #horror #Halloween #filmsky boxd.it/OWp6A

It's alive! Horror Month 2025 letterboxd.com/soundslikeci...

October! Tis the season to abandon reason and watch too many horror films. Here's last year's effort: letterboxd.com/soundslikeci...

Last four watched.

PILLOW OF DEATH (1945)

Watched my 350th film of 2025 the other day.

Enjoyable! boxd.it/b7CvMd

We've all been there, Richard Hart in Green Dolphin Street.

Last four watched. All Redford all the time.

Last four watched. Bangers.

Watched a banger last night. boxd.it/b1jV1Z

September on our calendar from Cinecittà features my favourite Italian film

Picked up a couple from a local church book sale

Long live physical media!!

Favourite first-time watches of August 2025: Tracking (1987) First Light (2025) 1000 Women in Horror (2025) I Start Counting (1970)

Last four watched. All new to me!

so lovely to see an Intimacy Coordinator at work

Watched a really fun, obscure action flick last night: My ★★★★ review of Taking the Heat on Letterboxd boxd.it/aRXnVf

Last four watched

I do not think every film needs to be a *Great Movie* and I do think Ethan Coen can do whatever the fuck he wants with the format forever.

Was always one of my favourite spaces in the capital. Spent so much time there. Can't wait to see it up and running again!

British noir! Very excited for this, and not just because Eloise @cinemelo.bsky.social has a commentary on Spin a Dark Web.

Extremely good idea. These rule. Hope they manage to slip some horror in there (I watched "Robin Redbreast" recently - highly recommend).

Just watched my 300th film for 2025

minimalism is a scam invented by big small to sell more less

Am I spending my time off work wisely? I think the results speak for themselves.

They look so good together!

The last one arrived! The trilogy is complete! Eloise @cinemelo.bsky.social has a great essay called "The Sound of a New Era" on the first one.

This was fun
