Robert Duvall always felt like American cinema's secret weapon. There were bigger names around & flashier performances but few could match his versatility. Calm or fury. Toughest guy or weakest. Nice or nasty. Comfortable in all modes and 100% convincing every time. RIP youtu.be/SYgXDRdkJRc?...

He's done it again!

Bad news for those of you who were looking forward to Jimmy Fallon's Planned Pasta Sauce Line With Pal Tommy Mottola.

Roses are red Violets are blue

Personally, I'd have a Day celebrating this guy.

There's something a bit tragic and pathetic about these old guys who thought they were really cool and edgy in the 90s still hanging around thinking they're relevant and embracing every crappy new thing that comes along. Anyway, enough about me being on Bluesky, have a read of this hahahahahaha

Hmm, the "I'm Spartacus!" plan seems to be backfiring.

Prediction: In ten years' time, all the new-cast assorted tat produced for the cancelled-after-two-seasons HP tv show will be clogging up every charity shop shelf and look as bewildering and incongruous to those modern eyes as this does now.

Post a banger not in English (again) youtu.be/pgCIY0eYTo8?...

Just been reading up on this Kid Rock guy you all seem to like and, I have to say, he sounds like a bit of a tit.

Post a banger not in English. (1:48 in, by the way) youtu.be/bCqB2ngzHgE?...

Keir Starmer is a decent man whose only real weakness is his loyalty to his friends and advisors. He's still the right man to lead the country. (Something like that. Maybe put your own spin on it rather than copy & pasting. Payment should go through tomorrow. Speak soon x)

What a film.

A bit late but John's just read the news that Keir Starmer is considering running for leader.

Fuck Harry Potter Go watch MOONDIAL

I wonder if the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic will explain why that song is called Thriller? I mean, it's all about beasts, ghouls, zombies & werewolves so it should really be called Horror, shouldn't it? Nobody refers to Vincent Price as the great thriller actor, do they? Always annoyed me that.

Hey, your favourite cool, storytelling-is-magic hippy-goth uncle is back, folks! This is just the tonic we need to take our minds off all those recent stories about rich, powerful, victim-silencing abusers who used their wealth and status to prey on the powerless.

More like Donald Poomp, right? (NB This attempt at a joke only makes sense if you're aware that 'trump' is also mildly rude British slang for breaking wind)

I'm sure they already did an article like this a few years ago where they compared him to Liam Gallagher(!); now it's "The Smiths meet Britpop". He needs to add some grey to his wardrobe so they can reference "the stark, austere aesthetic of the early Factory years" and complete the Manc bingo card.

Some people wondering why a comics-based account is posting this. Well, you've clearly forgotten Schneider's role as 'Fergie' in the 1995 Judge Dredd film. I wish I could.

Deleted scene from RED RIDING 1974 where Andrew Garfield's journalist infiltrates a local far right organisation. Scene was cut as it was deemed "too heavy handed" and "looked fucking pathetic".

On This Day... 2026: An exciting time for film-lovers everywhere.

"Six tickets for the new Aranofsky, please"

You'll have to generate one photo-realistic image of yourself hanging out with your favourite dead celebrities a week or they'll stop your benefits.

Silhouetted and obscured by light/my so-so vantage point: Anna Von Hausswolff at a *very* packed Manchester Band On The Wall last night. Punishing, cathartic, close to holy.

The Dark Brandonisation of Starmer begins here. Somebody's going to do it. You just know that somebody's going to do it.

Nobody has ever said this to Starmer.

Haaland was on the bench today and City won their first league game in five. To take the football analogy, own goal from Lucy there!

I always got the impression that Andy Burnham quite liked and leaned into his King Of The North nickname. Anyway, it's been years since I watched Game Of Thrones - what happened to the guy in that when he ventured South to try and sort all the bad stuff out?

I'm hearing that Netflix videos could be about to turn the other way up. Has anybody else heard about this?

A Pigeon Sat On A Fence Reflecting On Existence #PigeonSky

My contribution to the Beckham discourse: I met David very briefly once and he seemed like a genuinely nice & polite guy. Never met Victoria but she was once quite generous with her time towards a photographer I know. I realise this doesn't paint a full picture but STOP BEING MEAN ABOUT MY FRIENDS.

If any non-Brits are wondering who this 'Jimmy Savile' character is who's referenced in the new 28 Years Later, he was a beloved if somewhat eccentric UK entertainer whose death was mourned by many.

What's a horror film that more people should be aware of?  Creepy fairytale-like Mexican gothic about aspirant witches and the scary exclusive world of children (Rather like Peanuts, adults in the film are only shown peripherally).   Never seen anything else like it.

She's no Ving Rhames and Trump is certainly no Jack Lemmon: youtu.be/Tk3EgDPZD0w?...

Forget that New Years Eve "Renaissance" photo. The real heads have always known that *this* is proper Manc.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that will make them block Twitter in the UK is when Grok starts generating obscene/violent pictures of Paddington.

There were a lot of tributes to David Bowie 10 years ago and this was probably my favourite.

You've gone too far this time, Grok. You've made a bunch of UK journalists look like gullible fucking idiots.

Reading about an influential old band and sometimes having to wait years before being able to actually hear them.

Can't wait for The World Cup.

Lol

Don't worry, everyone; it was just a test. Things *aren't* about to get really really bad.
