Solid, solid film watchage this weekend

Film of the year so far for me.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched ‘Cinema’

Watched Kurosawa's CURE for the first time yesterday. Haven't been this unnerved by a film in a very long time.

Well that may jump (probably plain part because I was reading an article about paranormal phenomena when my phone started blaring)

Perfect Saturday afternoon film.

Loving this picture on eBay of a Lament Configuration Puzzle Box. Have fun kids!

Guys, I don't know what happened.

Remembering the absolute A+ subtitles on the DVD of JASON GOES TO HELL.

Yeah that was great

Just had three fillings so convalescing with the cinematic event of the year (apparently)

Evening walk.

Showed my son the Theatrical (aka the Best) Cut of TERMINATOR 2, and well let's just say he knows now why I cry.

I’ll give you my last 9 watched, and frankly it’s been a rocky road. Using the full gamut of star ratings this month!

There comes a time in everyone’s life when your parents show you THE TERMINATOR. For my son, today is that day.

My dad died 10 years ago today. Here’s something I wrote at the time. movingpicturesfilmclub.wordpress.com/2015/08/28/a...

Solo cinema trip

Had a wisdom tooth out two weeks ago. Follow-up dentist apt today and was informed I need another three fillings, minimum 😩

Very privileged to have contributed an essay on the legend that is Willem Dafoe to this gorgeous @secondsightfilms.bsky.social release of THE FLORIDA PROJECT (also here’s a pic of me at the Magic Castle itself: yes I’m the cool dad who dragged his kids there whilst on holiday).

Very lucky to be asked to discuss this masterpiece on Johnny’s excellent podcast. Check it out!

Been feeling physically rotten for days and then suddenly realised I hadn’t been drinking coffee because of having my wisdom tooth out. Two mugs of Joe later and the headache is gone and I’m feeling great.

Not gonna lie dudes, not feeling it today: poorly, over hot and had to have an impromptu wisdom tooth out this morning after it all became a bit unmanageable. BUT the plus side is hanging with the kids as we binge watch MODERN FAMILY.

Not going to lie - July was very good

Mandy Patinkin’s sheer emotion in this made me cry.

There is still good in this world

I saw FANTASTIC FOUR. I liked FANTASTIC FOUR. Four stars for FANTASTIC FOUR.

Rude

My wife: “So why did you need another copy of Jaws?” Me: “I mean ‘need’ probably isn’t the right question” Wife: “But it brings you joy”

I saw BEAU TRAVAIL for the first time earlier this year, quickly followed by a second viewing. Been thinking about it on an almost daily basis since, particularly those final 5 minutes. What a picture.

I'm so happy I could fly (far away)

Imagine for a second if 16,800 Israeli children had been killed by Palestine.

TLOU2 replay complete. Just a perfect game. “I don’t think I can ever forgive you for that… but I would like to try” 😭 😭 😭

Took my youngest two to the toy store yesterday because I really wanted to get a little Dolores after seeing JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH for us to build together. My 10 year old also perfectly summing up her personality by using her pocket money to buy Pops of Hello Kitty and Ghostface.

Date night in the Coleman household means watching the final ever Black Sabbath show (plus an incredible lineup of special guests)

Guys: I'm a fan boxd.it/adZ9xd

Tickets booked for tomorrow

I’m really lucky that Zarah is my MP: a clear track record of voting with her conscience & refusing to play party politics. I’ll vote for her as long as she’s standing, even if it’s with a different party, because I trust her as a person.

So as of 30th June I've managed to complete this challenge, walking/running 171.96 miles in memory of Rich. A huge thank you to everyone who donated: I truly appreciate it. I'm going to leave the JustGiving link up for a few more days before sending the money to CALM, a suicide prevention charity.

Oh dear. Druckmann’s episode was - for me - the only good one in Season 2. Mazin is a fine writer / director, but his interpretation of Ellie simply didn’t work last season. Fingers crossed it picks up for S3.

Watched 28 YEARS LATER and I’m not sure I saw the same film as y’all

My BFI contributor copy of Shane Meadow’s TWENTYFOURSEVEN just arrived. A huge thank you to @upekha.bsky.social for having me onboard to celebrate this beautiful film which - nearly 30 years on and following Netflix’s ADOLESCENCE - feels as timely as ever.

Man, the second episode of SQUID GAME 3 is no joke

Guys I'm at *that* point of my THE LAST OF US PART II replay. Pray for me.

I said what I said

Happy birthday to Bruce, who 50 years ago swam into our hearts and changed cinema forever

I committed to walking 90 miles in June to raise money for CALM, and hit that target yesterday. Going to keep this going for the rest of the month, see how far we can go. If you’d like to sponsor me and haven’t yet you can do so below 👇 www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...
