Watching Copycat #Filmsky

Twin Peaks night

Watching Wake Up Dead Man #Filmsky

A weird quirk as my mother has aged is she has become increasingly incapable of watching a film with me without insisting we then watch the lead actor play a different role immediately after. "He's the hero in this and a bad guy in that, you won't believe it" - it's like she's just discovered acting

ah fuck Frodo has put on the One Ring somewhere in Cambridgeshire

Bought this book for my two mates’ babies for Christmas and I’m dying.

Didn't think someone of Kylie's vintage could top the charts anymore. Good to see she's doing well.

that UK debt crisis in full

Twitter might be bad now but the Count is still over there doing his daily count

Sorry state of affairs this

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke, inventor of the DVD.

I've been after a copy of this book for years - it covers Blaze's years in Iron Maiden and his first decade afterwards #Metalsky

Quite unwell still but I'm off to this tonight. Rolling Stones at the Max from 1990, the only concert film ever shot with IMAX cameras, from their iconic Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour #Filmsky

Dolores del Río in a publicity still for Journey Into Fear (1943)

My favourite bit of COVID was watching a group of teens sit socially distanced in a circle in the park, wearing masks, which they each removed and replaced in turn as they passed a spliff between them.

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Finally getting around to trying Stranger Things. Somehow had never got around to it before.

David Lee Roth hasn't been worth seeing live in 20 years but I'm always glad he's out there anyway because he's the only one we've got.

Long live physical media

Watching David Fincher's Seven #Filmsky

Given how expensive pensioners are to the state, under this MP's logic we should deport anyone in the business of keeping old people alive.

Watching the Diddy documentary on Netflix. I know the legal case inside out but there's a lot of other interesting stuff in this - recommended viewing even if you feel you know the story.

I don't think Netflix should get to eat anything else until it finishes all the prematurely cancelled shows on its plate

Ghastly, ghastly man

Massive shout out to Raised By Owls for selling the best band shirt I'll ever own #Metalsky

Netflix calling Casablanca a franchise is everything that's wrong with Netflix buying Warner Bros #Filmsky

Watching Pure Pwnage Teh Movie #Filmsky

"You see, what we're talkin' about here is an organism that imitates other life forms, and it imitates 'em perfectly..."

Most of this feels more Facebooky to me

I've been rewatching Pure Pwnage recently and it holds up remarkably well for a web show from 2004. Any fans out there?

They should bring back those oversized TV remotes that get struck by lightning and send you into the TV where you learn important lessons about life.

Watched Coyote Ugly earlier. Peak cinema.

Good job I have exactly 5 lava lamps

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free. Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

incredible quote lol

It's 2025 and Aerosmith just topped the UK album charts for the first time in their career, ever. Being a classic rock fan is so often about living in the past. Once in a while we get to walk into the present day. 6 decades on this Earth. 3 decades a fan. Still delivering.

Charming feature this. God the past is always weirder than you remember. Comforting, that.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Bluesky is one of the few social media services that still has something you might define as a culture, and I love it

Late night entertainment: Bring Me The Head Of The Machine-Gun Woman #Filmsky

Guys THEE weirdest two men approached us in the pub last night. I need to sen a voice note because there’s so many elements to this story but omg where have these incel weirdos come from?!

One of the smart things Playboy did in the early days (the 1950s) was refuse to let anyone downmarket advertise in them. They held out for high class stuff like expensive whiskey and fancy watches. When it eventually paid off it made them money *and* enhanced their own brand.

Kinda hoping whoever replaces her means some older stuff gets into the setlist

Why do people use AI when there are, stock photos for situations as obscure as "man disgruntled by fork"
