Happy 4th. 'They'll talk to ya and talk to ya and talk to ya about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em."

Back to back unintentional film double feature. A gang goes goes looking for a dead body. A gang goes looking to made dead bodies.

My book on Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break washes up this summer. In time for the film's 35th anniversary. Some cool folks said some nice things about it. I placed those things over a wave picture. @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social #filmsky #keanureeves #pointbreak

I wrote this! 17 years gone. A fine record. Since We've Been Wrong a great opener. @themarsvolta.bsky.social @orlprojects.bsky.social

Remember that sweet romantic comedy that Bruce Campbell starred in early in his career? No, me neither. Happy birthday, King.

@patthomashistorian.bsky.social did you have anything to do with this reissue? Sounds incredible.

I wish that Nicky loved me more than anyone else in the world.

I wanted to climb into David Hockney's The Splash and swim in its waters as soon as I saw it. To me, I am the unseen creator of that splash. Always was. Rest in peace.

My review of The Backrooms for @dmovies.bsky.social I'm still talking about this with friends and colleagues a week later. Plus I work in a very Backroomesy place.

The strangest rebranding of a Dennis Hopper film I've come across...yet.

It's nearly the weekend, or the other side of this life. youtu.be/BxOra_P2Vyo?...

Smashed out a spoiler-free review of The Backrooms. "the looming trees of the forest of the unknown have been replaced with the sterile horrors of what appears to be a vast storage space and dividing walls." #filmsky #thebackrooms #A24 dmovies.org/2026/06/04/b...

"Private Island Wankers"

I worked in my very own Backrooms.

Check this out @patthomashistorian.bsky.social

27 years! What's my age again?

Gen X and older Millennials had better interior design for their Backrooms. Throw up some curtains!

I would kind of like it if the Backrooms took place in the same cinematic universe as Primer and Coherence

For the television broadcast of Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars, director Monte Hellman was commissioned to make a new prologue to reframe the violence as a prisoner doing a job for the warden, played by Harry Dean Stanton. youtu.be/ppZuqec9lq0?...

Alongside being the secretary of state, acting national security adviser, acting archivist, and acting director of the U.S. Agency for International Development, Marco Rubio has now been announced as headliner for Great American State Fair. He's Trump's song and dance man.

And just to add further emphasis I secured these very rare and sort after photography books from my university library, which I will renew continually for the rest of days.

Kid Rock after hearing all the acts scheduled to play Trump’s Great American State Fair have pulled out. youtu.be/4X9M2DhRSPo?...

Dennis Hopper slipped off this mortal coil 16 years ago. Much like the typical male thinks of the Roman Empire throughout the day, I pretty much think Hopper in the same way. I've written two books and countless essays. Here is one. #Filmsky #dennishopper canadianfilm.ca/pretty-vacan...

Clue to which new film I watched at the weekend.

The Mando movie was fun enough. Not disappointed not overwhelmed. The product placement was a bit much. Pepsi, Coke, and Andrex Ultra don't belong in a Star Wars movie.

Mos Eisley Cantina on steroids. Barely a human on screen. And the one that is is behind a helmet for most of the film.

"By seeing the worst that can happen, perhaps we can be inspired to help prevent it," Eloquent and engaged review of Post-Catastrophe Film in @spectrumculture.bsky.social by @mightylyng.bsky.social 📽️📚💙 #FilmSky #BookSky @intellectbooks.bsky.social spectrumculture.com/2026/05/21/p...

Name a great film poster that has little-to-no writing.

Did... did this person attending the Unite the Kingdom rally have...David Lynch on her t-shirt? What...What does it mean?

Hey @patthomashistorian.bsky.social. do you know anything about this 1970s singer? Two songs on The American Dreamer soundtrack, one album with Columbia, then gone. He was clearly associated with Hopper. A poster appears on his album cover. He was an exceptional talent. youtu.be/FsfgK4CatDQ?...

Most of these films are discussed in Post-Catastrophe Film: Cinematic Visions in the Aftermath of Disaster. Great selections @pastemagazine.bsky.social www.pastemagazine.com/movies/netfl... www.intellectbooks.com/post-catastr... @intellectbooks.bsky.social

The end of the world is just a new beginning. My review of Greenland 2: Migration for @dmovies.bsky.social #FilmSky dmovies.org/2026/04/28/g...

A man went looking for a America and couldn't find it anywhere.* *tut, men.

Zack Polanski once ate two soft boiled eggs with soldiers, flipped them over in the egg cups and served them back to me. I've still never recovered from smashing the lids with my spoon only to find nothing. Rotter.
