“In Westminster, you are either right next to a rat or, as is more likely, you are actually a rat and haven’t realised” - Stewart Lee

"financial market investors will be worried" 😆 Ack! #Joke of the day, and its only #breakfast time. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Today's Q&A...

Essential viewing for any fans of Sophie Turner, #TV series STEAL starts with a financial-office armed-robbery, and its twisty plot wraps around conspiracy and spy-fi characters. #Steal #SophieTurner #heist #London #offices

Red Barchetta by Rush, Damnation Alley by Hawkwind, and even BladeRunner by Kim Wilde, are much better songs than most of this list. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f... #music #songs #literature #genre

Where's the Big Monolith? #sci-fi #aliens '2001' #movies

Today's amusement.

Booster for action-movies: Joe Carnahan's THE RIP, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and Angel Manuel Soto's THE WRECKING CREW, starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista. #Rip plods through its conspiracy & corruption. #WreckingCrew is simply loads of crazy fun! #films #movies #actioner #filmsky

Action-movie double-bill, with very different (dark & light) styles... Which do you think is the best, and why? #TheRip #TheWreckingCrew #movies #actioners #filmsky

Booster for #TheInternship, starring #LizzyGreene and #MeganBoone, directed by #JamesBamford. #action #movies #spy-fi #actioner #thriller #filmsky

New classic Crumbly.

After long-running TV crime-show THE BLACKLIST, actress Megan Boone returns to spy-fi in movie THE INTERNSHIP as CIA-agent/ mother of a rogue killer code-named 'Catalyst' (Lizzy Greene), who's like a Black Widow in blue-jeans. Ex-stuntman James Bamford previously directed DC TV super-hero episodes.

Amusing animation. #music #StealingSheep #Deadlock www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZyu...

Booster for sci-fi movies #GREENLAND and sequel #GREENLAND2:MIGRATION. #GerardButler #MorenaBaccarin Perhaps, Scott Glenn's character had the best idea about what to do in this broken world..? #SF #movies #genre #filmsky

Funny how this bloke looks exactly like he should be starring as a trusty DCI in a London TV crime-show titled McSweeney.

Paywalled, but a very good headline. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Prince Montoya... scourge of the Shire.

'John #Garrity... of the #GREENLAND Garritys?' Although director #RicRomanWaugh does a passable but uninspired job, on this watchable #disaster-movie turned #post-apocalypse scenario, I can't help wondering if the family #MIGRATION adventures might have been a lot better with #Blomkamp directing.

Is Gerard Butler the only actor to play Count Dracula, and the Phantom (of the Opera)? #GerardButler #Dracula #PhantomOfTheOpera #genreActors #horror #movies #filmsky

We're not sure... could they pretend to be asleep?

Yes, the global fiction of money, and populist fantasy(?) of economic 'growth', has to drop into second or third place. Green credits are the only possible future now! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This weekend's honest Truth. 🙂

"What does £1,000 look like? Do we have enough ponies to carry it?" 😀 Now re-watching ROB ROY, a fine drama starring Liam Neeson and Jessica Lange. Excellent supporting cast includes John Hurt, Tim Roth, Brian Cox, and Eric Stoltz. #RobRoy #movies #Scottish #history #bio-pic #highlanders 🎞️📽️

Diecast model of the Zero-X spacecraft from Gerry Anderson's puppet-TV show Captain Scarlet, and movie Thunderbirds Are Go! #sci-fi #puppets #GerryAnderson #Thunderbirds #CaptainScarlet #Zero-X #diecast

Booster for disappointing #Marvel #TV series #WonderMan. (see full thread in 4 parts) #comicbooks #superhero #Hollywood

As if it needed to be said: even the smartest people make big mistakes... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

1. Apparently disconnected from most of the familiar classic lore about Marvel’s superhero character, Simon Williams, the shamelessly overlong TV series WONDER MAN plays like Peter Berg’s HANCOCK revised and downgraded from spectacular action to basically Hollywooden soap with sitcom routines...

Publicity stunt..? Free, or paid for? www.theguardian.com/law/2026/feb...

Seems like a big news day.

At this rate, Two Minutes Hate: Season 1 will start on TV in the summer?

LARGO WINCH movies... did anyone else see them, and like such Euro #comic-book #spy-fi adaptations? Starring: Tomer Sisley, Kristin Scott Thomas, Melanie Thierry. #movies #filmsky #LargoWinch

Today's western re-watch... Ed Harris' quirky but trad-classic #Appaloosa, co-starring Viggo Mortensen, with Jeremy Irons, Renee Zellweger, Timothy Spall, and Lance Henriksen. #movies #action #rom-com #gunfights #horseOpera #shoot-outs #moral-dilemma #friendship #serial-killers #filmsky

Burt as Bowman!?

Just re-watched ROAD TO PERDITION... and only now twigged that the son grew up to play Superman on TV. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to... #SamMendes #RoadToPerdition #TomHanks #TylerHoechlin #movies #filmsky

John Woo's masterpiece actioner, 4K UHD, 30 March. #HardBoiled #JohnWoo #ChowYun-Fat #TonyLeung #action #movies #4K #CollectorsEdition #filmsky

Hope he's right, but I suspect he's probably wrong. Can USA recover (in just a few years?) from such 'leadership' failure, that so many people actually voted for? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Booster for #ThePeripheral #TV #sci-fi

I hope this offends him and his pet.

Daily duck? The gift that never gives...

Vital viewing for #SF fans #01. Whether you have read William Gibson's #novel, or not, this sci-fi TV #series is excellent, as dark yet compelling #futurism with plenty of great action scenes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Per... #ThePeripheral #TV #sci-fi #action #drama #WilliamGibson #VitalViewing

Could we all make some #money from #oligarchs' #greed by #betting on who will become first #trillionaire?

Booster for #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea #DrWho #SeaDevils #Stingray #TV #sci-fi #WW3 #Blu-ray

Booster for #TheVoices #horror #comedy #movies

"You'll never swim alone!" Seemingly inspired, by Aquaman & Marvel's Sub-mariner (?), to ret-con WHO's Sea Devils into WW3 on a TV-budget, TWBTLATS, drowns rom-com Splash in fish-family genre-soap that's quite laughably inept, on almost every level. Stingray had better acting! Blu-ray, 23 Feb.

AI is not science, or even tech... it's just the capitalists' war on genuine culture.

Iranian director Marjane Satrapi’s #surrealist #black-comedy, THE VOICES (2014), stars #RyanReynolds as Jerry, an everyday lonely #psycho, who just happens to work in a warehouse. He’s off his meds and soon collecting severed heads for his fridge at home... #movies #filmsky #TheVoices

Brad Peyton's #RAMPAGE was a fantastic #sci-fi #monster-movie about gigantic #mutations, a great addition to the #kaiju #subgenre. #movies #filmsky

Velcro slippers on?
