Merry Christmas limbo everyone!! Happy to report it's another year around the sun where I have become even more insufferable and powerful 😎😎😎 see ya next year!!

If they don't put Fode and Beed in the new Star Wars podracing game then what's the point

One of my favourite local businesses just shut down permanently today and WAHHH it's not fair I am gonna be mourning this loss forever

Not logged in here for months and after scrolling for a minute I'm already exhausted 😭 not cut out for this social media malarkey anymore 💔

Congratulations, David Zaslav, on being the most destructive force in US entertainment in the entire history of show business

Happiness is a new John Carpenter 4K on your doorstep 🥰

Intruder (1989) - oh my god... hidden gem or what? So much fun. Delicious vibes. Gorgeously shot. Go in blind if you can (don't look up any posters!) and soak up the slasher goodness

GDT's Frankenstein - full thoughts coming on WhatCulture Horror later but I found it to be such a frustrating mixed bag. Some bizarre expansions on Shelley's text that end up distracting from the timelessness of its central throughline, and I Simply Have No Idea what Oscar Isaac was doing either

Ok it's actually a bit ridiculous how much you can track my own mental wellbeing based on how many movies I've been watching (hint: September was BAAAD lmao)

Cursed streaming service update: just tried to watch Lair of the White Worm on Jeff Bezos' clown machine and it's legit just playing The Limey. Like, I love The Limey, but uhhh, where's the worm 😭

May or may not have partaken in a new Benoit Blanc mystery last night 🔪

Funky pants era is here

Thought Play Dirty was better than I feared it would be but also the only thing more jarring than Mark Wahlberg as Parker is a Parker movie that has a car chase in an electric SUV

That time of year where I look at any frame from Carnival of Souls and ascend to another plane of existence

Tired but alive!! God bless the one part of my living room with good lighting

Some Tuesday nights are for taking stock of how far you've come and having a bit of a cry about it, I suppose 🥹

Disney are utterly shameless dropping that trailer holy shit

Anyway

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Quick update for why I haven't been so active on here lately - and just a heads up that I'm ok! - my nan passed away last month and an abundance of life stuff has come up in and around it. I'm still out here, and feel *so* much better than I was last year, but social media isn't taking up my time rn

Got a cheeky Amazon voucher to blow today! Can't decide between getting The Man from Laramie or The Swimmer on Blu-ray (both new watches). Help, amigos!

Has enough time passed to say that the new Letterboxd app is bad

I hope I don't sound naïve here, but I don't think this project to turn Charlie Kirk into a combination of Mr. Rogers and Gandhi is going to work

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

Volunteering at my local community cinema/cafe and I gotta tell ya... this is wonderful

Going to find the man who invented "queueing at the bar" and have A Word with him

Been a hot minute since I last visited High Plains Drifter and I gotta tell ya - this is pure celluloid wrath and death and it's the best.

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker. Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path. Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.

Hi!! I've done a Big Vid on the joys of physical media and the little rituals that go into fostering a connection with The Movies for @whatculture.bsky.social (Ft a lot of gushing over @arrowvideo.bsky.social, @secondsightfilms.bsky.social and @88films.bsky.social!) Link 👇 youtu.be/BndowGhDzgE?...

New episode time! This week on Blind Spots, Action August is back as Dan is joined by Ewan Paterson (We Love Dad Movies, @whatsewanbrewin.bsky.social) to talk 70's action movie Walking Tall Link: shows.acast.com/blind-spots/...

I'm absolutely horrific at checking this thing lmao How is everyone?? I'm still alive etc.

Feels cliché to greet a new release with that ol' "it's why we go to the movies!" treatment but Superman is fully that for me. Pure, unbridled joy from Gunn that spotlights the DC I fell in love with in a totally seamless and cathartic fashion. Full review coming to @whatculture.bsky.social soon!

I watched Johnny Guitar yesterday and now my entire personality is going to be Johnny Guitar

That Diogo Jota news is just so ridiculously cruel and unfair. I hate this.

I can't believe they have Alden Ehrenreich out there in the Marvel Slop when he should be leading his fifth blockbuster by now or something

The Knees Out crew here raising money for a great cause!! (It was so room in that studio oh my gooooood)

New Running Man looks cool, imo

This is today on WC Gaming!! Come hang out as we raise money for the Trevor Project!

Uhhhh I think I'm happy with this??? (NYT reader ballot thing)

Hug?

Legit masterpiece? Like, I know this response will be driven in part because it filters the Western and Samurai genres through a British lens, but MacLean does more than adjust those lenses for a different context - he's creating a neo-Gaelic mythology of his own. Adored this.

Off to catch an early showing of TORNADO this morn! Super excited. Loved Slow West

Haven't really been posting much lately because uhhh, I'm bad at it and also I don't really have the social media itch anymore, but positive news!! Ya boy is getting better each week AND he's going on holiday to sunny Spain on Sunday. I am going to mojito myself like crazy 🇪🇸

New S&A with the lovely @whatsewanbrewin.bsky.social joining Lindz to talk more Gene Hackman brilliance!! Check it out!!

I am loving the latest episode of @schlockandawe1.bsky.social, where the lovely and knowledgeable @whatsewanbrewin.bsky.social and @readandgeek.bsky.social chat about all things Gene Hackman and his place in New Hollywood cinema and its aftermath. RIP to a legend. #filmsky

First Light looks so good but uhhhh I think they've really whiffed it going with such a young Bond. Bond shouldn't have the face of a guy who knows crypto
