I made a 2000 playlist. No particular reason.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is an incredible follow up to one of the best films of last year. If the proposed 3rd film is as good then we are looking at maybe the best series this decade.

My strategy for getting through this insane week of evaluations and presentations? Focusing on the fact that we've booked tickets to see 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE on Sunday! I. Can't. Wait.

Weekend reading with Calamity Jane. Bliss.

Wild Bill’s reactions to today not being Friday… #CatsOfDeadwood #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #MustLoveCats @uncleloo.bsky.social @bloots.bsky.social

2000 was my first year at Varsity! So many movies that jump out at me from my first year of "freedom" memory bank. #FThisMovieFest

Stay in the driver's seat. It is YOUR life :)

For the fun of it, and for #FlashBackFriday I'm going down the first #FThisMovieFest (2012) rabbit hole. It was all about 1982 with this @patrickbromley.bsky.social curated line-up: 🎬 Fast Times 🎬 Blade Runner 🎬 The Dark Crystal 🎬 Star Trek II 🎬 The Road Warrior www.fthismovie.net/2012/01/here...

New Year’s Eve as done by the Calamity Jane and Wild Bill. May 2026 be meowellous, and your kibble bowl runneth over. #HappyNewYear #CatSky #CatsOfDeadwood #CatsOfBlueSky @uncleloo.bsky.social @bloots.bsky.social

Also that means, this year will be the 15th #FThisMovieFest! I am clinging to this as a flick-inspired light of happiness and hope in an otherwise dark world of despair. Celebrating movies with awesome people is always something to look forward to!

@uncleloo.bsky.social & I started chatting about movie years covered by @fthismovie.bsky.social Fests: 1980 1981 1982 (2012) 1983 (2023) 1984 (2016) 1985 (2014) 1986 (2019) 1987 (2017) 1988 (2021) 1989 (2018) 1990 (2020) 1991 (2013) 1992 1993 (2015) 1994 (2024) 1995 1996 (2022) 1997 1998 (2025) 1999

The world is so utterly depressing at the moment, and the news kind of kicks one in the feels, so I thought I would share a #lamejoke of the day: "Did you hear about the wig thief who escaped from prison? Police are combing the area to find him." Have courage; be kind. #HoldFast.

Me watching episode 1 of Stranger Things, S5... I remember it being better. It feels as if the whole ep could be 15min max. Also all the lights flicker for some time before anyone actually turns to check on the POI in that scene. No man, if they start this stupid it's going to be a hard watch.

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2026. May it be a kind and gentle year, with joy in abundance.

This does not bode well seeing as mine is 'Kindergarten Cop'. Suppose I should be happy it's not the movie on date of birth, because that was 'Friday the 13th Part 2'... 🤣

Also happy to say, saw most of these in the cinema! Can highly recommend the Ster-Kinekor SK Club membership: 4 movie tickets a month for R289!

My Top 10 Favourite* 2025 Movies: 1. Sinners 2. Black Bag 3. Blue Moon 4. The Monkey 5. Bugonia 6. The Phoenician Scheme 7. Weapons 8. Wake Up Dead Man 9. Mickey17 10. One Battle After Another * Favourites because these stuck with me for various reasons. 5 Honourable mentions...

Day 3 of staying in bed and just reading, napping, and then reading some more ... absolute bliss.

Boxing Day plans: Staying in bed for as long as possible while eating leftovers, drinking mimosas, and reading.

Wild Bill has decided he wants to be a herb for Christmas, because mom said he can be anything he wants to be. Merry merry to all furkids, fur parents, & everyone who simply loves animals. #CatsOfDeadwood #CatsSky #CatsOfBlueSky #LoveCats #MerryChristmas @uncleloo.bsky.social @bloots.bsky.social

Our Christmas Night Tradition... Eggnog and an unconventional Christmas movie. This time it's In Bruges. Broke my heart that one did.

Happy Hogswatch! 🎄 "Tis the season to be jolly... and other words that end in -olly". - Death in Terry Pratchett's THE HOGFATHER May the all things jolly not result in a visit by the Oh God of Hangovers. 😉

Anything to keep our furkids happy! Even if that means braving a busy nursery over the holiday times. 😎

The latest @karavanpress.bsky.social addition to our collection. And just in time for the start of the extended festive season reading hours. 📚🎄

Our little boy, Wild Bill, has to pull off this look still for another week... those eyes looking at me for help to take it off breaks my heart.

What a bunch of shady creepers.

We did a double bill #movie night to wrap up a crazy month... #BUGONIA is absolutely genius! Loved every weird moment of it. Will watch this again in a heartbeat. Brilliant, angry, and bizarre. KEEPER felt under cooked. Too long; way too many plot holes; a little boring. Writing felt rather lazy.

My criteria for choosing holiday escapism (naturally fantasy) books: - Has some form of magic; - has some form of library portal / alt world at the centre of the plot: - has some link to cats: - has some link to Ireland. If I can find one that ticks all these boxes that would be an absolute dream!

Weekend reading time with Calamity Jane... she loves a good book pillow. @catsofdeadwood.bsky.social @uncleloo.bsky.social #BookSky #CatsOfDeadwold #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #LoveCats #LoveBooks

Utterly ashamed of Etzebeth. Can't stand his hooligan behaviour. Don't care that he's a good player. He's not a good sportsman. Always at the centre of a fight, and loves an eye gouge. Utterly ashamed!

How to train your dragon. 😎 🏉 #SAvsWales #rugby #Springboks

"Mom said 'It's Boks time!'... so I got into the best box I could find. And now I'm not even getting any cuddles for my effort, because they're watching the #Springboks v Wales rugby match." - Wild Bill #CatsOfDeadwood #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #LoveCats @uncleloo.bsky.social @bloots.bsky.social

Hog House spoils! The best pastiche de nata in Cape Town! Perfect for a slow Saturday morning.

Wild Bill wondering what toy and treat Santa Clause will be leaving in his stocking this year, because he’s been a very good kitty! (Yes, indeed, they have their own stockings… W.B. and C.J. 😸) #CatsOfDeadwood #Christmas #ChristmasCat #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #LoveCats @uncleloo.bsky.social

Fuck the patriarchy post: I worked hard for my doctorate. I use it for work, but I never insist on it or rub it in people's faces. It does expose prejudices though: When a man sees my title, initials & surname in a work email signature WITHOUT FAIL they always assume I'm a man. EVERY FUCKING TIME!

Manhattans and the Bokke... a lethal rugby cocktail combo! 📷 by @uncleloo.bsky.social

I doubt it's a mistake or a blunder if it's the second time he does it. The outcry when he stepped in front of the queen was not subtle... he knew he did it then... Disrespecting others seemed completely on brand and intentional when it comes to the Orange Orc. truebluereport.com/trumps-royal...
