It's #NationalFilmDay here in Canada and, deep breath, it's time to fill in a glaring blindspot. #NowWatching THE SWEET HEREAFTER

We have got us some serious July releases from @criterion.bsky.social #PhysicalMedia #4K #4KUHD I'm especially excited about 4K's of THE CRYING GAME and ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE.

For those who celebrate ... Enjoy! THE SWEET HEREAFTER for me tonight.

Time to revisit the “lost” Bond. #NowWatching NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.

Starting my day with some ha-ha. #NowWatching NIGHT SHIFT.

Despite the BOOGIE NIGHTS style album covers, if I'm in the right headspace, I can be a total sucker for a Bob Welch song. Don't hold your breath waiting on an apology. #NowPlaying www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwnX...

I was relatively well behaved during this past #WarnerArchive (via #MovieZyng ) sale. It's going to be a great weekend! #PhysicalMedia #FilmNoir #PreCode

Now a Sunday morning ritual. #NowWatching GOLDENEYE

Tonight. On the big screen. In 35mm. At the #PlayhouseCinema in Hamilton. It's going to be a good night. #Movies

There's something broken in my brain that continues to allow me to purchase mid-tier (imo) movies when they're cleaned up and released on a boutique label. As if the improved transfer will somehow make the actual movie better. I do this more than I'd care to admit. #PhysicalMedia #NoneTooBright

#NowPlaying the SIRAT soundtrack. By far my most listened to album over the past couple of months.

A very late start to a rainy Saturday. #NowWatching some CanCon. Bruce McDonald’s ROADKILL.

7:30 am on the first day of the long weekend and the dogs needed to be let out. My wife wakes me with a gentle (ish) elbow to the ribs and says “it’s your turn”. It looks like I’m up so I’ll start the day right. #NowWatching the @imprintfilms.bsky.social release of STORM CENTER.

SO good! "Beasley Street" sends shivers down my spine ... every time.

Saw a post that sent me down a #RichardThompson rabbit hole. Far too often, it's how my brain works. #NowPlaying www.youtube.com/watch?v=q80M...

KILLER track off a KILLER album that is the bookend to SHOOT OUT THE LIGHTS.

Best used record find in months. #PhysicalMedia #Vinyl #JulianCope

Does watching Bond two Sundays in a row make it a tradition? #NowWatching ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE.

When the dogs need to be let out JUST before you’re ready to get up but too late to crawl back into bed. What’s to be done? #NowWatching PRINCE OF BROADWAY.

I need for it to be Noon EST so that I don't impulse purchase a second @criterion.bsky.social order during the flash sale. #PhysicalMedia

I'm not turning a blind eye to a world set ablaze but in order to retain some sense of joy, I'm focussing on things that make me happy. March 24, 2026 ... @criterion.bsky.social flash sale perhaps? #PhysicalMedia

I'm ususally able to judge a film on its merits and separate the art from the artist, put it in historical ("it was a different time ..."), etc. but there is SO much wrong with YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE that I feel like I need a shower. #PhysicalMedia

@bobfreelander.bsky.social I just saw your @letterboxd.social entry for VINYL and am thrilled that you liked it as much as you did. It’s one of my favourite docs ever but has only been available on an OOP VHS … until now! One of my cinematic holy grails has been found.

A late start to my day. A day that I intend on focussing on my brand of self care. I’ll begin by #NowWatching WISE BLOOD.

The rain has stopped, the sun is out and the malaise has lifted. #NowPlaying www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGgM...

#NowWatching “The Man With The Power” from The Outer Limits, season one for the umpteenth time and just now noticed John Marley (Jack Woltz) from THE GODFATHER in a bit part. It’s the little things.

George Orson Welles: Kenosha.

Settled in for the evening and #NowWatching the @filmsradiance.bsky.social release of ILLUSTRIOUS CORPSES. Word on the street is, it’s pretty good. #PhysicalMedia

Thoughts on the @criterion.bsky.social June releases: Thrilled about the IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, HAIRSPRAY, DESPERATE LIVING and HIGH ART 4K's. MAGELLAN and WEST INDIES are a wait & see. The ECLIPSE, CHARADE & FIVE EASY PIECES upgrades I can do without. My DVDs & BR's will suffice. #PhysicalMedia

I’m at The #PlayHouseCinema in Hamilton, Ontario watching the #Oscar telecast. There was a lineup half an hour before the doors opened. I don’t know anyone here but these are my people.

It snowed again last night and I’m not all that receptive to the beauty of a snowfall this morning. It’s been a looooooong winter. I’ll draw comfort from hot coffee and the singular vision of @realgdt.bsky.social #NowWatching PINOCCHIO.

The coffee tastes so good this morning that I may watch two. We’ll see. #NowWatching DEEP IN THE HEART (AKA HANDGUN) from @funcityeditions.bsky.social #PhysicalMedia

After several days of false hope and optimism, THIS is happening. #snow #weather (or not to slit my wrists)

I had to post 5. GOODBYE COLUMBUS deserves all kinds of love.

I’ll have to pick a Hitch for tonight.

#NowPlaying THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW soundtrack. It's making work much more enjoyable.

I'm looking forward to watching the #Oscars in an actual old-timey theatre this year. Thank you #PlayhouseCinema in Hamilton. #AcademyAwards

Past #Criterion 50% off sales: 2025/03/18 2024/02/17 2023/03/21 2022/03/08 2021/02/23 2020/02/25 2019/03/05 2018/03/13 2017/02/28 2016/02/23 So 2026 is anybody's guess. My guess is Tuesday March 17. Have your picks ready. #PhysicalMedia

Finley’s new hairdo. He hates going to the groomer but on the way home, he knows he’s bringing it.

Is it 9:30? Is it 8:30? Did the clock on my microwave automatically update? I have no idea. I do know that the coffee’s been made and it’s time to visit an old friend. #NowWatching

It’s been 30+ years since I last watched GOODBYE COLUMBUS. It’s been at the top of my “needs a blu ray release” list (along with THE HEARTBREAK KID (1972)) since forever. The coffee has been made, the house is quiet and now’s the time. #NowWatching
