Not bad for a foreign film from 1988. I've already been twice, tempted to go again.

INFERNO. 29 MAY 2026. boardsofcanada.com

I'm here just to say I am also looking forward to the new Boards of Canada album Inferno very much.

New Boards of Canada and new Massive Attack? It’s a 1998 again!

I'll be watching Akira for the first time on the (very very) big screen on Saturday then my second time on a smaller (but still big) screen on Monday. Subbed then dubbed. I'm envious of my friend that I'm going with because he's seeing it for the first time. It'll be my umpteenth.

Mocking Trump's shitty AI post: fine, whatever. Retorting Trump's shitty AI post with more shitty AI: fuck off.

Toshio Matsumoto's Demons from 1971 is an absolute masterpiece. One of the bleakest, most evil, gut-wrenching films I've ever seen. I'm glad it has a small cult following but I can't believe it's still under the general radar. It should be as big as Kwaidan, Onibaba, Harakiri, House, Ugetsu etc.

I posted a tribute to Afrika Bambataa, how much I love Planet Rock and Leftfield's Afrika Shox which is where I first heard him and saw him in the Chris Cunningham music video on a 1999 PlayStation demo disc. Then I searched his name and found out he was accused of child sexual abuse. Fuck's sake.

Awesome looking new edition of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social, looking forward to the new Sunn O)))

I am slowly turning into an annoying hiking guy but I need this for my health. Yesterday I walked about 10 miles in the cold on steep muddy hills and today I feel fine. It's working.

Arco is v. derivative but I enjoyed it. It’s basically Ponyo + Back to the Future + Rene Laloux & Moebius + The Terminator + Terminator 2 + I, Robot + ET + Interstellar + WALL-E + that Futurama episode where Leela carves out a message on the cave walls for Fry in the future. A rip off but done well.

I'm hearing reports that Muslims may have voted in Gorton & Denton. A sad state of affairs, if true, and a sign of the dangerous radical sectarian extremism that Labour politicians, through no fault of their own, must contend with.

Feeling some lonely disappointment because a co-op video game series I've played through entirely with a friend for years has announced a new game but my friend is now too busy having a life getting engaged and doing things in real life instead.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Marty Supreme may end up being one of the major awards contenders that has to pick up the scraps while Coogler and PTA sweep everything but I think it may be my favourite film of the last couple of years.

When Mogwai performs Like Herod and Fear Satan live and I’m in the audience, they are the two best songs in the world. Great gig.

A superb interview with Tracey Emin on art, class, Reform, and surviving cancer now & abuse as a teenager www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

My family is bombarding me with shitty ChatGPT images of themselves. I don't know how to deal with this because the problem with criticising anything, no matter how tactfully, is they'll make me a pariah who believes I'm not allowing them to have any fun.

It’s a beauty! @lostincult.co.uk @gaminginthewild.com

I’ve been listening to Beyoncé Whatever floats your boat No, that’s buoyancy 😝

Recently I asked Drew Daniel of Matmos /Soft Pink Truth to consider a question: what good is making music while the world slides inexorably into disaster. In response he wrote an essay for tQ that should be of great interest to anyone creating art in the face of global events. 🔗in🧵...

This song by leftist Phil Ochs from the 60s feels like it perfectly captures the mentality of ICE today. youtu.be/KfM4f91je-0?...

Loving everything about Absolum, Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Planescape Torment. I am eating good with games after a long period of avoiding them.

Béla Tarr, 1955-2026 🤍

Today Americans must wrestle with the question, "Who likely brought more joy to the world: the guy who directed The Princess Bride or the guy who doesn't pay his bills and has definitely raped several women?"

I went to a nature trail with a friend this morning and we were wondering why there was such a huge police presence there, including a drone going over the water. We just found out now that they found the body of a person who had been missing for days there.

11 more months to go until I see Autechre again.

30 years old but Eutow still sounds like it was accidentally sent to us from the future.

Just my annual social media grumblings about how fireworks suck.

My taste in music has two modes and this pair of album covers summarise them well.

This lovely assortment from @delysiumzine.bsky.social just arrived. It's all beautiful. What a great effort by everyone involved.

This is really hitting the spot right now. "Wild Eyes" is particularly immense.

It doesn't matter how long they've lived, how expected it is, or what else is happening in the world, when a loved one goes it hurts like nothing else. Farewell dad. I love you.

To think that the roots of Labour were trade unions and socialist parties and now it's this shameful pandering to right wing racists, the surveillance state, and data collectors. Fuck this digital ID shite.

So basically he was one dense bastard.

26 years and I still listen to this regularly, and as loudly as when I first heard it as a teenager. It's a huge and important part of the UK bass canon to me.

Thanks to @alephg.bsky.social for pointing me to the best album I've heard in ages, a bunch of gorgeous and strange freak folk from Ireland with big Richard Dawson vibes. juniorbrother.bandcamp.com/album/pull-t... cc: @jackeason.bsky.social + @darknessfish.bsky.social who I think will like this.

Witnessing the news happening in America is so embarrassing. Thankfully I live in Britain where right wing reactionaries aren't given such a big platform. Oh.

Mecha Hitler said a few unsavory things about Jews, women, minorities, and called for the subjugation of anyone who wasn’t a straight white Christian man, but it’s important to remember he argued with civility.

Disco Elysium’s many music references speak to me. youtu.be/-bQjEKU_qd4?...

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

The worst thing about this take is it's forcing me to defend an Emerald Fennel film.

Björk - All is Full of Love SOPHIE - It's Okay to Cry Björk - Pagan Poetry Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy Two directed by Chris Cunningham and two featuring Björk, one of them I bet was an inspiration for the SOPHIE one.

Still an incredible album and it's about time it was rediscovered.

I love the fact that Cliff Richard's The Millennium Prayer (the worst song of all-time) has Robert Burns and Jesus listed as songwriters on its Wikipedia article.

Death Stranding 2 makes some big compromises that I'm not a fan of but I still love it. It is 100% industrial-grade Kojima full of raw emotions, complex themes, extremely dumb silliness, and jaw-dropping genre spectacle. That's why I play his games. Lies of P next?

I wish for extremely high levels of inconvenience for the boy wizard author. But not really. It's only a joke. Is comedy illegal now?

I don't wish ill on JK Rowling. I hope she lives a happy life and dies of natural causes surrounded by loved ones. soon.
