I’m ride or die for Riz Ahmed, will watch anything he does, and I thoroughly enjoyed his take on Hamlet, but it’s to to beat Ken Branaghs 19 hour version. The Louis doc was good, but Christ those chumps were insufferable. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #Letterboxd #FilmSky #Films #Movies 🍿🎬📽️🎞️

The highlight here was Akira, in 4K, at the cinema, where I was literally the only one in attendance. A private screening all to myself. Paradise. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #Letterboxd #FilmSky #Films #Movies 🍿🎬📽️🎞️

I’m hearing Gerry Conway has passed. Waiting for it to be confirmed from a reputable source. In the meantime, whether it’s true or not, but ESPECIALLY if it is…I am once again begging anyone that hasn’t read it to read Cinder & Ashe, his 4 issue Vertigo-before-Vertigo mini with JLGL. Superb. RIP

I think the only two folks that follow me *and* are into wrestling are @pinkalpacas.bsky.social and @bwlkr.bsky.social …but for anyone that might care, here are my hype levels (and reasoning) for each match now that all the talking is done and we are hurtling toward #Wrestlemania #WWE #IWC

It comes around faster every year. Happy #RexManningDay to all that celebrate.

What movie(s) did you watch over and over again as a kid?

I don’t know if anyone will be interested in this, but spinning off a conversation elsewhere… There have been 2,257 days so far this decade. In those days, I’ve watched 3,868 films. Of those, 982 have been released this decade. Of those, these 41 are the ones I’ve given full marks. #FilmSky

@pinkalpacas.bsky.social and I have now watched every nominee in the attached 16 categories for this years #AcademyAwards My annual predictions will follow soon. But for now, I’ll say, every single nominee in International is an absolute banger. Watch them all, if you can. #FilmSky #Oscars

RIP Tom Noonan. Obviously, I’m a massive fan of his work as Francis Dollarhyde/the Red Dragon in particular, but it was always a treat to see him appear in anything. Too many to list the best roles, but if you’ve never seen it, check out his superb X-Files episode, Season 4 Eps 10, “Paper Hearts”

All nominees across the “big 8” #AcademyAwards categories (Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor & Actress) have now been watched. Annual prediction list of what *should* win in each and what *will* win in each to follow shortly. #Filmsky 📽️🎬🎞️🍿

The only thing worse than comic filing day is movie filing day. Just spent the last couple of hours filing the last 12 months worth of DVD, Blu Ray and 4K purchases into the collection. Photos before and after. Not easy to tell when so zoomed out, but the difference is HUGE. #FilmSky🎦🎥🎞️📽️🎬🍿

#FourComics that made me fall in love with comics. Like everyone else that has posted this, there are dozens, arguably hundreds, that could legitimately qualify for this…but these 4 were some of my earliest and are *deeply* imprinted in my comics DNA.

A big Thank You to Matt @theunrealitystore.bsky.social for the surprise delivery! I haven’t ordered any back issues from anywhere for well over 6 months, so when a comic-shaped package dropped through my mail slot just now, I was very confused. What a pleasant and generous surprise. Thank you!

The numbers themselves are not a surprise (and are also inaccurate, as there were 7 films not on LB to log), but the Most Watched Actor and Director are. #Letterboxd #Filmsky 🍿🎬📽️🎞️🎥🎦

8 days off work starts RIGHT GODDAMN NOW

No lying or making yourself out to be a cool kid. Post the first record you bought. If you can remember the shop or circumstances add that too. Local color appreciated. Roko - Hammersmith Odeon, Dec 2nd 1990 - Support act for Magnum. I was 10, taken along with my parents.

Rebuilding my home office, ready to return to work tomorrow after 9 days off, and I am, once again, reminded of the most accurate tweet of all time…

I have officially reached the age/volume of comics where “Filing Day” is no longer a single day. It’s taken 2 days to schlep all these boxes downstairs. Then tomorrow I’ll do the actual filing. Then Wednesday and Thursday (and maybe even Friday) I’ll schlep them back up. Time for a SERIOUS purge.

Just learned my Uncle Frank died last night. He and I had been largely estranged for the last 20 years due to family drama, but I always thought fondly of him. He was the fun uncle that let me watch films like The Shining, Silence Of The Lambs and Children Of The Corn at far too young an age. RIP

9 days off starts RIGHT GODDAMN NOW!!

Let’s go…

For the last couple of weeks, the new Spider-Man has been filming about a 10 minute walk from my front door. No big deal, I thought, probably just 2nd Unit stuff Nope, Spidey himself, Mr. Tom Holland was there filming yesterday!!

Today is the 25th Anniversary of the release of this masterpiece. Quarter of a century and I’m still playing it regularly. And @pinkalpacas.bsky.social and I are going to see a screening of *Nosferatu* (1922) soundtracked by Kid A and Amnesiac at the end of this month. #Radiohead #KidA

Been on a bit of a #Transformers kick recently thanks to @danielwarrenart.bsky.social excellent Image series and the first compendium volume of the OG series…so I went digging in my mums attic and dug out most (but definitely not all) of my original collection. Looking forward to messing with these
