Bold choices this week: - Harmony Korine — brilliant filmmaker. Always disturbing, always real and always takes you on a journey. - RWF’s last film. A visual feast. - Delightful and hilarious. Every frame is a work of art. - A crushing film. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Vintage vinyl of the London production of Chess arrived today in great condition. #theatresky Chess (1984) #ElainePaige #MurrayHead #BennyAndersson #TimRice #BjornUlvaeus

Remembering the legendary and commanding Paul Scofield, intensely talented Oscar/Emmy/Tony-winning & Grammy-nominated actor, celebrated for his impeccable craft of Shakespearean and roles in THE TRAIN, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, A DELICATE BALANCE, QUIZ SHOW, ANNA KARENINA, and so much more.

Delightful and hilarious! Every frame is a work of art. Alec Guinness (and his co-star teeth), Katie Johnson and Peter Sellers chew the scenery. A treat for the senses in glorious Technicolor. The Ladykillers (1955) #filmsky

Instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour, I decided to start SHERWOOD. #lesleymanville #lorraineashbourne

“First, they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent.” - Bertrand Russell, on fascism.

Dead Man’s Wire for the win - Michael Caine plays a ho - RWF was very focused with this one - What used to be a comedy has now become frightening - Essence of 1970s response to a crisis event at a time only traditional media did the work of reporting #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

An absolute favorite.

@letterboxd.social list of films that live somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind for various reasons or no reason at all.

Wonderful homage

#RiotWomen starts tomorrow on BritBox for U.S. viewers. It's fabulous! Here's my spoiler free #review oldaintdead.com/riot-women-i...

My theatre heart is full. I haven’t been to Broadway since 2019. Booked a flight and bought a few tickets today, including this adaptation that I’ve been dying to see 🎭

Viola Davis called her an alchemist. This compilation exhibits precisely why Dame Helen is indeed an alchemist of acting. @goldenglobes.bsky.social

Not my house but I know my way around.

First week of 2026 happened - Didn’t quite hit the mark - did not regret viewing - You will get to know the personal side of RWF - Was fun but with the cast and story it could have been so much more - Joe Spinell is top-notch - favorite of the week #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Tonight’s Bill - Kimberly Akimbo Broadway tour. Highly recommend 🎭 #theatresky

And here I stand both to impeach and purge

Would have been most interesting if Dame Helen and RWF hooked up to make a film or two. My most watched theme and nanogenre 😱🫠 @letterboxd.social #filmsky #letterboxdyearinreview

A week of great directors - Happy New Year from a favorite disaster flick 🥂 - Love a film based in NYC, Jill Clayburgh is a fabulous actor - Finally saw the famous Paris/Brando film - An interesting RWF film loosely based on the life of Sybille Schmitz #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

My most watched actors and directors of 2025 🎞️ @letterboxd.social #filmsky

May we all make our way off this 2025 upside adventure, unlike Shelley Winters. Here’s to hoping 2026 is a better year! Cheers to you all 🍾🥂 The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Dame Maggie Smith BOTD 1934. One of the most glorious actors to ever grace the stage and silver screen. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) California Suite (1978) Evil Under the Sun (1982) Gosford Park (2001)

An interesting film loosely based on the life of Sybille Schmitz, an actor who made films during the third reich and was shunned after WWII for obvious reasons. Note: I’m a Rainer Werner Fassbinder fanatic. Further commentary boxd.it/cgLAu1

Decades of great film 🎞️ @letterboxd.social list #filmsky

Random week - Great cast. That’s it. - Pretty decent 007 film. - Loved this one, where the camera becomes a starring role. - If you require a history lesson about a polarizing political figure, watch the Lindsay Duncan version. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

Don’t forget to put out your Joans and skeletons today💀 CHEERS 🥂 Oh, and it’s going to be 79 in Big D today 🫠⚰️

Lady in the Lake “review” — let’s not forget about Audrey Totter.

A week of intriguing discoveries - Appreciate Cronenberg pacing - Surprised by The Strays — a solid story - Keeper has my attention - Benoit Blanc has become a staple Fave 4 Perfs: Bukky Bakray, Glenn Close, Tatiana Maslany, Mia Wasikowska #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

The score by Duke Ellington is magnificent and has stayed with me for decades.

-The Romantic Englishwoman: Jackson + Caine = instant viewing -Daughters of Darkness: fabulous art direction -A Zed & Two Noughts: A rewatch and a favorite Greenaway -The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie: Enjoyed this chaotic fun and a great cast #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

I feel attacked.

This was a fun @letterboxd.social list to create.

BOTD 12/6/1900 Agnes Moorehead: From CITIZEN KANE to TV's BEWITCHED, Moorehead will always be scene-stealing Hollywood royalty to me! Emmy, Golden Globe, National Board of Review & NYFCC award recipient, this 4 time Oscar nom defines versatility! #filmsky 📽

Currently obsessed with the opening credits of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s The Third Generation (1979) #filmsky

A bizarre week The Third Generation: I’ve become a huge fan of a RWF film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You Won’t Be Alone: truly mesmerizing. A film first set in Macedonia Somewhere in Queens: semi-marketed as a comedy, but was not BUGONIA: last 30 minutes was mind-blowing #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Predictable 😆 These artists topped my listening this year. #SpotifyWrapped

World AIDS day celebrates the strength and amazing resilience of the HIV community while we remember those who are no longer with us.

I’m digging it.

Of course I liked it 🎞️ #filmsky

Fascinating film. #filmsky You Won't Be Alone (2022) Written & Directed: Goran Stolevski

Siouxsie Sioux in Pam Hogg. London Fashion Week. 2010.

The great Tom Stoppard RIP

Random week of death, witches, wonderful humans and despicable savages. Four favorite performances: Lauren Bacall, Paul Bettany, Jeff Goldblum, Udo Kier (RIP) #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

He was simply the coolest. RIP #udokier 🎞️ Swan Song (2021)

Another Woman (1988) 🎞️ An array of intense and unsettling acting moments by some of the greatest actors, all in one film. Cast: Gena Rowlands, Mia Farrow, Ian Holm, Betty Buckley, Sandy Dennis, Frances Conroy, Martha Plimpton, John Houseman, Gene Hackman, Philip Bosco

Picked up a few DVDs. It’s been decades since I last viewed them. Baby the Rain Must Fall - screenplay by Horton Foote and based on his play The Traveling Lady. Notable score by Elmer Bernstein. Another Woman, a glorious cast including Gena Rowlands, Betty Buckley, Sandy Dennis and Francis Conroy.

Heavy AF week! If I had Legs… - Not for the squeamish. Ken Park - Harmony Korine’s writing pierces through once again. Incendies - Extraordinary film. The moment I found out, my soul took temporary leave. One Battle… - Breathtaking flick. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Let us not forget the brilliance of Amelia Bullmore.
