Out today with Mrs D on our #ChristmasDoFor2 bite of lunch then A Christmas Carol at Lyric Belfast followed by dinner & a dander round QUB. A lovely day all round 🎄🎅🏻

A trip to QFT last night with @staggerlee42.bsky.social to catch this horror classic & version I hadn’t seen before. A great night of film & craic.

Was meant to be up at 5 tomorrow morning to go to Dublin for a meeting, but thanks to #StormBram they have given us the option to do it on teams rather than travel 🥳🙌

A rare foray into town this morning, got in & out before it got really busy. I’ll be back in this evening in a different kind of mission 😉🍺 #Belfast #Xmas

This ‘draw’ might be the worst thing I have ever seen. Souls openly being sold🤬

Brighton Rock is on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social tomorrow night at 9pm. An excellent adaptation of the Graham Greene novel, Dickie Attenborough delivers a chilling performance as the stone cold gang leader Pinkie in a slick 1940s #FilmNoir #FilmSky

#5debutalbums7074 this is the one folks, a stunning debut. Posthumously released and still sounds essential today. No1 for me😎👌

@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social is on fire atm, Fellini last week, Goddard this week, outstanding. This is a great opportunity to catch a bona fide movie classic, a movie that created a whole new fashion thanks to Jean Seberg😎

For those interested the excellent Say Nothing started on Channel 4 tonight. TV drama at its best😎

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

Christmas has arrived in the ‘Duff. Still no idea what the fox this has to do with Christmas though 🦊🎄

Went with one of my mates to the Dublin Fables show back in August, he’s just messaged to say he’s grabbed us tickets for the Belfast show next September. It’s a Saturday night too I. Cannot. Wait. 😎🎶👌

How one of Martin Scorsese's favourite films brought Gaelic to the movies www.bbc.com/news/article... A wonderful film, would definitely recommend it for anyone who hasn’t seen it. #FilmSky

Some of us already knew 😉

I hear Bob was even better tonight, they even got an encore…#BobDylan

That was very, very special. Bob in spectacular form, a spellbinding performance from first note to last. The sound in the Waterfront was pristine, every note, every word crystal clear. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Bob in as fine a voice & form, just magical 😎🎶👌

Bob time😎

Only discovered last night that Channel 4 in the UK will be showing the series Say Nothing. It’s a taut, powerful drama set during the troubles in Northern Ireland & based on actual events. If you haven’t seen it, it’s absolutely worth a watch. Brilliant television.

How Ed Sheeran inspired the next generation with guitar donation www.bbc.com/news/article... Fair play…🎶🙌

An outstanding movie, one of my favourites. It’s literally a slow descent into madness. There are few things better than Dirk Bogarde acting a Harold Pinter screenplay directed by Joseph Losey. #FilmSky

Fans ready to ditch phones for Bob Dylan concert www.bbc.com/news/article...

'National Express' on Later with Jools Holland, watch the full performance on the BBC iPlayer: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... Or at the BBC Music YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@BBCMusic #TheDivineComedy played 'Achilles', 'The Last Time I Saw the Old Man' and 'National Express'.

A superb night of REM with the excellent @stiperemtribute.bsky.social in Belfast Empire last night. Great to meet @dannyryden.bsky.social too, always cool to bump into friends from the socials😎🎶👍

Just watched the trailer for this and it does look like a pretty powerful, compelling watch. #FilmSky

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... Saw this fabulous documentary the other day night. Filled with fascinating insights of life in Belfast & NI during WW2, if you’re interested in a bit of local history this is definitely worth checking out 👍

Check out this film on MUBI: Bring Them Down mubi.com/films/bring-... Last night’s watch, an intense revenge thriller. When a dispute arises between two sheep farming families in rural Ireland things very quickly escalate bringing long buried animosities to the surface. #FilmSky

Halloween is coming and the goose is getting fat…👻

A very rare trip to the big Omniplex last night & I’m interested to know, is it normal to have 25 mins (yes 25!) of feckin adverts before the movie starts? Two trailers for thon Roy Keane movie & Wicked the rest adverts 😬

I have just discovered that the actor who plays Bruce’s mother also played Maizy Russell the youngest daughter in Uncle Buck. Now I feel very old 😬

Caught the Springsteen movie last night. It’s a solid, if uninspiring portrayal of the Boss’s recording of the Nebraska album. A lot of Bruce wrestling with his demons, flashbacks to his contrasting relationships with his parents & tensions with his record company. #FilmSky

Fawlty Towers star Prunella Scales dies aged 93 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Today’s walk…🍂

This was excellent, a really enjoyable read. Not your run of the mill history, but one told through the landmarks & people who made it. Laced with personal anecdotes, many of which I could easily relate to & which had me reminiscing about my own experiences. Lovely stuff @feargalc.bsky.social 😁

Well, the sausage roll was the clear winner🎅🏻

Lunch is served. Well, it’s almost Halloween…😁😁

Well this was brilliant, a powerhouse performance from Jolene O’Hara as she took us on a musical journey from the quiet country town of Comber to the bright lights of London’s jazz scene, to the blues clubs of Chicago & everywhere in between. Superb stuff😎👏👏👏

Out of office on until Thursday & now front row seats at the Grand Opera House for a one woman show based one the life of the most influential jazz & blues singer you’ve probably never heard of…😎

A fantastic movie, don’t miss it #FilmSky

Mrs D has gone out for the evening with her mates, I’m treating myself to a watch of the magnificent When We Were Kings, haven’t watched it in ages #FilmSky

Currently watching Episode 1 of Grange Hill on That’s TV. It’s another world 🤣🤣
