Man Utd line up for the weekend’s match confirmed

There’s been a lot of really turgid football lately so it’s really refreshing that the Six Nations 🏉 is getting underway. No play acting, no histrionics, just good, honest toil. Top entertainment

Ch-ch-ch-changes There’s Bowie then there’s Teddi

Aye, right. And it’s the greatest film since Citizen Kane

Och aye the noo, Keir

Robert Burns Day. A Man’s A Man For All That. Words that ring with humanity, written 200 years ago. Still relevant as much as ever today youtu.be/jd4zgSpCPbM?...

Station To Station is 50 so perfect excuse to play this clip. Bowie never looking cooler in his red James Dean jacket from the Christiane F film. youtu.be/QymJI00mlSs?...

I saw Trump’s “Presidency” described as the longest, slowest “I told you so “ in history. Will his followers ever wake up?

I was lucky enough to see David Bowie live 3 times but… If there was one tour I really wish I could have caught, it would be 1978’s Isolar II. For me, prime, prime Bowie. Here’s imo the best ever version of 5 Years youtu.be/XOWEmO9Hb6c?...

Brilliant though Ken Loach undoubtedly is and a national treasure, I’m only strong enough to very occasionally put on one of his films. Watching The Old Oak and yip, the old bugger has done it again. 😭 Very good film though.

Do you remember a guy was here? Watching Bowie Glastonbury during lockdown with Bowie fans commenting in real time on that magnificent performance was my single biggest ever highlight of the (former)Twitter app. 👏

“If today was not an endless highway…” On the day of his birth, Elvis Presley’s stunning take on Dylan’s ‘Tomorrow Is A Long Time.’ The absolute beauty of his voice.. youtu.be/0dRNZZuuR8I?...

I read a thing @petepaphides.bsky.social wrote about this album so gave it a listen. I was a big fan of Lloyd years ago but what a joy to catch up with him, and what a great way for Lloyd to have gone. Thanks Pete

Lots of artists have been great at B-sides but only The Teardrop Explodes and Julian Cope (albeit perhaps not beyond My Nation Underground) did enough to compile into a stone-cold, no notes, filler-free, ten-out-of-ten, sky-high all-time masterpiece. open.spotify.com/playlist/0ju...

Decided to re-watch True Detective season 1. Because it’s just so good and, well, I’m edgy, me. 🤣

Angel Heart (1987) 🎥 Directed by Alan Parker In 1955 New Orleans, private investigator Harry Angel is hired by a man who calls himself Louis Cypher to track down a singer named Johnny Favorite, but the investigation takes an unexpected turn. #FilmSky

Must admit I didn’t get Withnail and I on first watch years ago. I knew its rep and it was also. recommended Dunno. Maybe I was short on life experience at the time. 🤣 Watching a gain now and, what an absolute gem.

Quality post

No cheating. Post your most recent pic of your pet(s)

Just finished this Audiobook by Mike Joyce of The Smiths. As he says at the end, he himself is the biggest fan of his own band and that quiet pride in what the band accomplished comes over very clearly.

This remains one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen. Sinead 💔 and Terry 💔 in happier times - sheer joy ❤️

Merry Christmas to all you radical left wing scum out there 🎄🥂🎅🤣🤣🤣

Merry Christmas everybody Pic of Teddi dressed up like a haddie

Watching British occult horror A Dark Song. It’s from 2016 and, as far as I can see, it’s director Liam Gavin’s only feature film credit which is a/ surprising and b/ a pity.

A rare action (leaping) shot of my dog Teddi wearing her red winter, er, jumper

Yesterday I hadn’t seen Suspiria although I’d heard a lot about it. Today I now have. Do I feel my life has been enriched in any way? Not particularly, no. encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn...

Watched The Ninth Gate last night. I like a Satanic horror film so don’t know why I’ve never seen this before. I enjoyed it although can’t claim to have figured out what it all means. I had forgotten it was a Roman Polanski film until the closing credits. It’s not Rosemary’s Baby but then,what is?

I see The Swimmer is on Film4 at 7.30. Now there’s a film.

Bugonia, huh? Watched it blind (no reviews/online opinions) I don’t know what to make of it tbh, but I think it’s good. Maybe 🤷‍♂️🤣 theatrgwaun.com/wp-content/u...

Watching the latest footage of ‘Melania’…. youtu.be/XDBJAn1vgSM?...

Rewatched L.A. Confidential on the back of seeing some positive comments recently like it’s been rediscovered. Great great film and better than some more highly rated films imo.

I’ll always have a soft spot for The Wild Swans.

The Long Walk. I was really gripped by this, an original idea, well drawn characters and Stephen King’s trademark ear for dialogue.

The Stone Roses certainly defined a certain time and a place and a style. RIP Mani

For once

Anyway the fun stops now… 🤞

It’s all there for Scotland tonight 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I’m the most pessimistic Scotland fan ever, usually got the enthusiasm levels about our chances of Eeyore. Call me crazy but I’ve got a wee sneaking positive feeling about tonight 🤞
