One of the top tier opening scenes hands down

Just found out ACMI (one of great cinema places in Melbourne) is doing a season of Stephen King films. Lots of classic King works - some I have never seen before on the big screen! www.acmi.net.au/whats-on/foc...

🎃It’s Spooky Season🎃 #fleischerstudios #maxfleischer #cartoon #animation #halloween #bettyboop

Alfred Hitchcock #Caturday

I wish it was more complicated but: Elon won. Pundits, journalists and political elites uses Twitter to gauge popular discourse and identify stories, which was workable so long as it was moderated. He seized control, completely altered its normal mode, but none of them adapted.

What's a film you watch once a year like it's a ritual #FilmSky #Letterboxd

How the hell am I only now finding out Greg Malouf passed away 10 months ago. He was a master of Middle Eastern food & had a major influence on my cooking. Damn that’s tragic.

This is a great thread on the artist that influenced the greatest Disney animated film (in my opinion) - Bambi. Without him who knows what it would have become.

Honestly if you need something to do this weekend you can do a lot worse than reading @talkscaredpod.bsky.social new novella Good Boy. Equal parts creeping dread & beauty.

Only just found out about this great Aussie film inspired by Rear Window. There’s plenty of other Hitchcock references too from Vertigo & Psycho & more. Aside from that it’s just a great fun movie in its own right. It has a great mix of dread, comedy, & suspense & has a great dog character as well.

Who knew erasable pens were heat sensitive. My daughter drew me a vet clinic run by her favorite animal- wombats. Took it to my clinic to laminate & put up and the image vanished. Thank god I did a high-res scan beforehand.

Anthony Albanese had not one word of condemnation for the Nazis that attacked Camp Sovereign. Not one word of assurance to the Blak community at all. The difference between a terrorist attack on us and Jews is so noticeable. Australia is a racist place.

Rereading Frankenstein as I waiit for @realgdt.bsky.social version of it & I was reminded of the time I held a dinner party based on literary classics. Cocktail - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde A smoked green gin & tonic made to look a bit like the famous formula that transforms the doc.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Morocco 🇲🇦 are the African Nations Championship champions They beat Madagascar 3-2 in the final in Nairobi, winning their third title. This victory shows Morocco’s strength in African football and adds another proud moment for Africa in sports.

Thanks to the greatness that is THE LIFE OF CHUCK I have been able to realise my dream of taking my youngest kids to see a @stephenking.bsky.social & @mikeflanaganfilm.com film in the cinemas. Sometimes I manage to do parenting right!!

Sure bud put your paws up and relax it is World Dog Day after all! #InternationalDogDay #WorldDogDay

Name a film that cheers you up. Rear Window

It's Friday, have a little Grace 🤍🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

Great article on the greatest actress! Looking forward to reading more in the Rear Window book next month.

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's birthday here are some of his cameo appearances... THE BIRDS (1963)

MIFF 2025 About to start my time at the Melbourne International Film Festival for the year. At this rate only seeing 11 films but might add another one or two if I can, although also have a big 2 weeks of work also. #MIFF #MIFF2025

Same.

Haven’t seen all the films listed but might give them a watch soon.

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

Good thread…although don’t agree with all the opinions.

I’m glad I have Hitchcocks approval as I think I have seen it about 20 times in the cinema & over 100 times in total!

Great article on my favorite actress

Every step is a choice. Every mile breaks them down. Only one walks away. #TheLongWalk — Trailer 2 out now. Only in theaters September 12.

Hilarious!!

If you are “afraid for your sons" based on 2% of reported rap3s being false, imagine how afraid we are for our daughters based on the other 98% .

South Africa is truly amazing. Only one full day in & already seen the most stunning sights. Highlight was definitely lion cubs devouring a zebra.

When TV was killing cinema, Hitchcock was forced to shoot in 3D. The result? One of his most claustrophobic thrillers. New Classic Movie Love Letter on Dial M for Murder jenniferocallaghan.substack.com/p/dial-m-for...

Disney legend Andreas Deja, behind all-time great villains including Scar (‘The Lion King’) and Jafar (‘Aladdin’), has provided a major update on his Milt Kahl book: “I got Disney's verbal approval, and I am determined to make this one of the best books on Disney Animation ever.”

When i was younger I regularly got told I look like the guy on MAD magazine…even by teachers!

Grok is a full blown nazi now.

This feels a bit worse than a chant at a music festival? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Spare a thought for the IDF today. They were out all day yesterday shooting innocent people trying to get bags of flour, and when they got home they had to find out the heartbreaking news that some people at Glastonbury don't like them. That cannot be good for your mental health.

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

What's a poster you had up in your room growing up? My most obscure poster was ‘Prayer of the Rollerboys’ that I got from the video store when I obsessed with rollerblading. I’ve only ever heard one other person acknowledge it existed @jamescdyer.bsky.social

✨👏🏾STANDING OVATION👏🏾✨

This looks amazing. Really hope it plays at Melbourne International Film Festival this year.

As a middle aged Aussie male I may not be able to relate much to the young lead, who suffers from ADHD & growing up in council housing in Scotland. However in @newlands.bsky.social book he paints a great story of Cora growing up rough & like everyone dreaming of more. Definitely a great debut novel!

Let me get this straight. After all the projects that were written off shelved and canceled, after all the jobs people lost, after all the madness that went down and the gutting of companies, and it all ended in this split? What a genuine disaster of a merger.
