Fascinating that these far right are terrorists if UK says they are; same thugs rioting outside a refugee centre in West Dublin are ‘activists’ & ‘concerned locals’. They’re not linked, they’ll say. Unless of course you open Twitter & see them upload photos of themselves, together, at various riots!

Just reminding you all that Francis Ford Coppola actually did offer the role of ‘Colonel Carnage’ aka Colonel Kurtz to Lee Marvin before Marlon Brando.

Rest in peace, Lee Tamahori.

So that was Thursday November 6th 2025. Crikey. Another day done, another day (more or less) here. So it goes. (Dated this very month in 1982, just 43 years ago, Warrior #7, with its painted cover featuring Marvelman by Mick Austin.) And so to bed. Sleep well, gentle sentients of Planet Earth.

He thinks the guy is acting out the YMCA lyrics shapes

"Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV."

Contrast this with the response of a president who was an actual decent human being.

“..You look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you... for the last time will you sit down”

Wtf?

I just got Gladiator II off eBay. The extensive making of materials are fantastic. Annoying that we can't get the same treatment for Scott's Napoleon.

This was inevitable.

Time is relative, but Interstellar is 11! 🚀 Docking scene, from storyboards by @gabrielhardman.bsky.social to screen:

As many have said, labeling rooms is what families of dementia patients have to do around the house to keep grandpa from walking into the wrong room.

[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!

Few films capture moral courage like The Insider. Released 26 years ago today, it remains a haunting testament to truth and sacrifice—rendered in Mann’s immaculate style. For us, this is by far Mann's best film. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cinephiliabeyond.org/the-insider/

‘…Spa and Resort’

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

I would love to see this on a big screen again, but nobody ever shows it.

An early piece from me for @cinephiliabeyond.org on The Stuntman, getting the 4K treatment next year: cinephiliabeyond.org/faustian-fal...

Radiance Films/Transmission are releasing The Stuntman on 4K next February.

Only in the States is he a "leftist" nightmare, over here he should represent an utterly straightforward slightly-left social democratic centrist. It merely shows how far Frottage and his ilk have corrupted our politics.

So terrified and jaded (and complicit) that can't even muster the bare minimum about someone with whom they should actually share common cause.

Many of us will have a happy sleep tonight while Debra Messing stays up all night realizing she outed herself as a complete racist to the world but her guy didn't win.

Arriving in Mamdani's New York like youtu.be/EtOMl6mFGR0?...

Finished Edge Of Darkness tonight. Swap Grogan for Musk, and plutonium for ai, and you have the new "high frontier" space /tech race to the bottom, chewing up the earth's resources for an ego driven fallacy.

Here’s a little something else to make Peter Hyams fans happy: 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT (1985) is coming to #4K #UltraHD next year as well! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social

Hear hear! A good story, and the effects are superb.

'Compassionate Leave', the first episode of Edge of Darkness, was broadcast on this day in 1985. Written by Troy Kennedy Martin, it starred Bob Peck, Joanne Whalley, John Woodvine and Joe Don Baker (with music by Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton).

@indicator.bsky.social I've contributed an essay to the @imprintfilms.bsky.social recent mega release of The Keep. Who at Indicator can I contact to pitch myself for other releases? I also did an essay for BFI's 4K Get Carter (which won a festival prize for best home release extras).

If you haven't yet seen one of *the* very best productions to ever come from the BBC - or anyone else for that matter - then you simply must...

Just ordered F for Fake and Performance in the Criterion sale.

Just watched ep. 5 of Edge Of Darkness- Northmoor. One of the most exciting, tense, surreal, brilliantly staged hours of television ever made. The mix of miniatures, sets and locations- fantastic.

This is sad and all too suspicious. Teen Vogue had some of the best political journalism in a sea of journalism lacking moral clarity.

Thank you! That has always been my *exact* reading of it.

Suddenly the Christmas ads have swarmed upon us.

Some thoughts on the late Peter Watkins www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

"What a binch of plinkers."

I bet she has the hairnet under all that.

It also has a "classic feature" on Rollerball

I had to! Nice vintage copy v. Cheap off eBay:

Oasis items on Antiques Roadshow. I've seen it all now.

Never going back to America
