youtu.be/6L4tP0fVvBo?... Watching deleted scenes from Jane Eyre 2011 and some of these turn the film into full blown horror. The casual reveal of Helen Burns (Jane’s childhood friend at Lowood school who dies from consumption) in the mirror reflection in this scene gave me a mini heart attack 😭

Why would The Criterion Collection do this?

boxd.it/bNZ4bj I really love this adaptation. It’s very condensed in comparison to the novel, with the time constraints, but I think the flashback structure is really smart. The gloomy gothicness is brought across beautifully (both in atmosphere and in visuals).

Noticed it’s leaving iPlayer in a few days so now rewatching:

Mahmoud Said (Egyptian | 1897 - 1964). Portrait of Mme. Batanouni Bey (1923, oil on canvas).

BREAKING: At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in a spate of Israeli drone and missile attacks throughout northern and central Gaza, hospital sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/iw6mmd

Correct.

chow yun fat in A BETTER TOMORROW is the coolest a dude has ever looked on film

"Record numbers of overseas-trained doctors are quitting the UK, leaving the NHS at risk of huge gaps in its workforce, with hostility towards migrants blamed for the exodus...the NHS is so heavily reliant on doctors from elsewhere – 42% of its entire medical workforce qualified overseas."

🚨 27,000 KILLED IN SUDAN’S DARFUR IN 3 DAYS Darfur governor Minni Arkou Minnawi says 27,000 people were killed in just three days after the RSF captured El-Fasher late last month — a massive jump from earlier estimates of about 2,500 deaths. In March 2025, Senator Chris Van Hollen introduced...

“Seems relevant that vast majority of the targets in the Pakistani drone war were members of the Taliban, not random Pakistani civilians.” There’s a big discrepancy between the US number for civs killed (hundreds) and what was reported in Pak dailys, news channels and from people on the ground in

£48,377 out of £50K goal! If anyone see my post & kindly give 50 i will reach today 🥺

It’s so funny when libs shit themselves like this with condescending rhetorical questions when the Democratic party cannot restrain itself in unbridled islamophobia, contempt for Arabs, and constant triangulation on inhuman policies against immigrants. In 2025 this shit runs up into genocide denial.

Kashmir Times says raid in Indian-administered Kashmir marks 'yet another attempt to silence' its reporting.

Saw a post from a white person calling a Chinese person sinophobic because the latter was criticising China for abstaining on the UNSC vote on Gaza I’ve seen it all, the bootlicking is crazy 😭

it is ok to be honest. it is palestine vs the world and the arab and muslim peoples are passive to it.

be honest and say why china and russia et al don't intervene. it is bc they're pro genocide they are just for it in different circumstances and or okay with cosigning off so long as they can do it too.

China from cynical perspective benefits from inactivity in MENA because it allows the US to continue its irrational expenditure of resources for race war but you can't turn around and then claim it's actually moral to abstain. The USSR was an active albeit cynical player + helped South Africans.

We're on day four of people on Twitter defending China for not vetoing America's colonial UNSCR for Gaza lol

"Greeks living in Afghanistan were Buddhist 500 years before China and a thousand years before Southeast Asia" is one of those things that sounds made up but is in fact true

One of the problems with bluesky is that it's so US-centric that liberals start revealing their inner sociopathy without pushback

“Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?” Excuse me? Am I, a Pakistani, supposed to be grateful for all the drones and bombs that were used to massacre people in my homeland because it was done under the auspices of a black president and the dems?! I’m actually speechless.

Good fucking movie.

Israel just hit the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, Ain al Hilweh, with missiles. It’s a dense camp with the presence of many Palestinian factions but also many civilians.

Frankenstein (2025): What’s the point of a gigantic budget and ornate production design if you’re going to coat everything in that ugly Netflix house sheen? Really not a fan of GdT’s English language stuff (with the exception of Hellboy) and that trend cotinues here. Too one note, too staid, none

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

Inhaling the copium fumes from people who thought that China and Russia would do anything for Palestine China hasn’t done anything substantial for Palestine since Mao died. As for Russia, how many Israeli settlers are Russian? 1 million? 2 million? Don’t make me laugh

Peak melodrama. Need to rewatch

Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1935:

👉NEW -- Israeli weapons firm set to close UK wing by Martin Williams Israel’s state-owned arms company, Rafael, is disbanding its UK subsidiary following an investigation by Declassified.

Someone needs to tell Shabana Mahmood that the strategy of putting a minority Home Secretary in to sanitise the racism only works if you don't call this much attention to it.

Even with my bedrock low opinion of Labour, I was clinging to some shred of hope that even they would realise that stealing the last remaining possessions of people who have fled for their lives was a disgusting policy. Turns out there isn't a bottom to this particular barrel they are scraping.

BREAKING: A Bangladesh court convicted ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of crimes against humanity, concluding a months-long trial that found her guilty of ordering a deadly crackdown on a student-led uprising last year reut.rs/3LJP9L8

Discovered some really devastating news about a mutual who passed away recently (may have taken her own life). She had been struggling w/ mental health as her mother was hospitalised and died (possibly due to medical neglect) not too long ago I’m so heartbroken. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

when you’re watching a kiyoshi kurosawa movie and he does the interior moving vehicle with the deliberately brechtian/anachronistic rear projection thing

Ayatollah Khomeini, of course, had passed away decades before this

Two decades of uncertainty for people who are fleeing danger. Could this policy be any more barbaric?

This is more violent than any speech:

Imran Khan was a massively popular leader with the Pakistani populace. Leaders who want to advance Muslim internationalism?Of course Zionists and Americans feel threatened and take umbrage with that.

Newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails from July 2018 show him reacting to Imran Khan’s election in Pakistan with open hostility. Epstein calls him “a much greater threat to peace than erdogan, khomeni, xi or putin,” referring to the leaders of Turkey, Iran, China and Russia. Later in the exchange...

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/
