Good article on how all ChatGPT bar/club/event flyers look the same and 'We Are Living in a ‘ChatGPT Flyer Pandemic’ : bit.ly/4wA0tLV I especially like this quote "Hey if this is your flyer, I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing. Don’t ask me."

THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK was released in North America on this day 55 years ago. A searing story of two lovers in the grip of drug addiction. The film, directed by Jerry Schatzberg, introduced the world to Al Pacino.

He will always be remembered, first and foremost, for that terrific performance in Jurassic Park. However, his performance in Possession is one of his best ever.

I also write about non-film things! Like over at @history.com where I got to dive into the waters of disco, looking at some of the most popular songs from the genre. Shout-out to @marksearby.com for helping me on this one! www.history.com/articles/dis...

THE LAST ONE FOR THE ROAD is now in UK cinemas. It is an interesting drama about two different generations finding solace in each other. Oh, and drinking.... of course! My full review: bit.ly/4pdByeS #thelastonefortheroad

THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE is now on DVD and Blu-Ray. It struggles to bring Enid Blyton's novel into the modern day. However, there is still a lot to enjoy in the magical tree land of this adaptation. My review here: bit.ly/4pdByeS #themagicfarawaytree

@staticbluebat.bsky.social joins ALL ABOUT AL: THE PACINO PODCAST to discuss Knox Goes Away. We try to find something good in this hitman with dementia thriller: buff.ly/sgebI8g

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Tony Rayns. He was invaluable to the appreciation and understanding of Asian cinema and a champion of many filmmakers, the world and home ent. industry are poorer for this passing. He will be greatly missed.

@lennyukdeejay.bsky.social shame you don't live closer.

Pleased to see 54 getting a 4k release, and one that includes the much better Director's cut. It's a vastly underrated film and Mike Myers is terrific in it. vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

I asked The Pacino Pod's @staticbluebat.bsky.social to watch KNOX GOES AWAY a second time. We both softened to the film on that second viewing, especially the Pacino scenes. But still had issues with the film: buff.ly/X2TwGrY

The brief appearance of Al Pacino in Knox Goes Away has @staticbluebat.bsky.social and I questioning whether it's a worthwhile film for the talents of the iconic actor on the latest episode of ALL ABOUT AL: THE PACINO PODCAST: buff.ly/sgebI8g
