This is a superb film.

Cher is 80. Seen here performing I Got You Babe at The Summerisle Harvest Festival, 1973

It’s James Stewart’s birthday. Seen here in The Matrix (1946) Dir: Frank Capra

Hooray! Someone just randomly reskeeted this! Bit creepy, but attention is attention, and I’m a thirsty bitch.

If you voted for Trump in 2024. I don't like you.

1968. "Late Night Horror" is about to start on BBC2. We need a trailer. Thankfully Valentine Dyall is on hand to deliver the goods as only he can. I love this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bHu...

#RecipeOfTheDay positively makes my heart sing: it’s Spaghetti alla Carbonara! Nothing better, frankly. And before any of you get snippy about the presence of vermouth, I got inspiration for it from the white wine that the great Marcella Hazan added to hers🤌 www.nigella.com/recipes/spag...

I can do you one better

NO SUCH THING AS A VAMPIRE from LATE NIGHT HORROR has been found!!

This is a point not enough people seem to be considering. That a pro-EU party gets into power, that it persuades the UK's population that we're better off back in - and the EU responds "Lol. Fuck off." We had preferential treatment, we had opt-outs and we still fucked off in a fit of pique...

Folds like a bloody ironing board..

This needs to go on a t-shirt: "I'm seriously suggesting that at this time of grace political danger you keep your elitist cheese pictures to yourself" 💥

Watching season 2 of The New Avengers. The mortality rate among Steed's friends is extraordinary.

Liar, Liar, Liar liar, Liar liar liar, Liar liar liar liar liar, Liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar, Liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar. The Fibbernacci sequence

This racist stalker on X explains why he is confident in his sense of impunity for racist abuse on the platform. (He may be proved right about that, but let's see)

Labour on the doorstep: "We're the only party who can do this." Labour in government: "It's unreasonable to expect us to do this. Be more realistic."

Looks like TPTV are doing a short run of Hammer Horror: Quatermass Xperiment this Saturday, Quatermass 2 on Thursday 28th and The Curse of Frankenstein on Saturday 6th June!

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Moby Dick In A Lonely Place

@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social have the best movies; Terence Fisher's 1959 The Mummy is a Hammer horror classic, screening at the very civilised time of 4.35pm today. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee star in a tale of colonial guilt; 4 out of 5. #TalkingPicturesTV film-authority.com/2026/05/16/t...

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

I was annoyed that I couldn't find a database of David Attenborough documentaries where I could search for a specific episode by topic. So I made it. attenborough-100.vercel.app

You gotta remind them that binary sex is the dumbed down middle school explanation

Want some ALT text with that? (Now it's accessible AND searchable.) You're welcome!

Sad to see reports that the great David Burke has died. A fine actor with a wide body of work on stage and screen, including the Wilmer Sherlock Holmes series, Armchair Thriller, 2 Ghost Story for Christmas films, and, of course, as an impeccable Dr Watson to Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes.

Knock knock Who's there? Wes Streeting Wes Streeting who? Ah, politics is a cruel mistress.

I'm sorry to hear about Streeting. Nothing specific. I'm just always sorry to hear about him.

I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

I share the worry of trans people at the prospect of PM Wes Streeting. At Health he ignored the voices of young trans people and restricted gender-affirming care, causing harm to a generation. It is up to Labour to choose its leader, but members must also choose a better direction on trans rights

"And, as Wes Streeting prepares to make his leadership bid... by just a tiny amount..."

Possibly I should just transition...

Fao @rigg.lgbt

“Neurodivergent people have a hard time understanding humor.” Or maybe we understand it perfectly and you’re just not funny.

I really can't imagine Streeting as Prime Minister. Streeting with his shiny face like an over stuffed sausage. Some politicians, you can imagine when they're off duty. Ken Clarke listening to jazz with a cigar and a whisky. Ian Duncan Smith filing his issues of Soldier of Fortune...

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

I think Wes Streeting could genuinely be the person who unites a fractured Britain and helps us heal the country's wounds. Because whether Brexiter or decent human being, Tory, Labour, Green, Lib Dem, or Reform, left, right, or centre, we can *all* agree that Wes Streeting is an odious, toxic, shit.

David Cronenberg's Paddington in Peru

Andrej Zulawski's Dude, Where's My Car?

I’ll be giving a talk at @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social on 6 June about the archives of writers David Whitaker and Terrance Dicks, best known for their work on Doctor Who: yorkfestivalofideas.com/2026/calenda...

That Wes Streeting leadership bid in full:

Huge news! I'm co-producing Alexandre O Philippe's new doc IN SEARCH OF NOSFERATU. Our team (including @pattonoswalt.bsky.social) is scouring the world for uniquely aged prints of Murnau's classic. 🚨 CAN YOU HELP? 🚨 Any leads on old prints, VHS, etc, please hit me up! Our treasure hunt is global!

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

Tippi Hedren with one of the pet Tigers she lived with at her California home, in 1982. She later said she was “stupid beyond belief” keeping such animals as pets and letting them have the run of her house. Yup.

Leadership challenge's off, sorry.
