On the M1 Northbound, chasing the escaping sun

Now we just need a crypto minister and an Amstrad Emailer tsar and then we're all set

Depressingly, I know what this is from because I watched it earlier. The product of another filmmaker who's gone for the AI grift.

I did a thing on the crossovers between Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and 80s animated series Ulysses 31 - and how they prove that the trumped-up adaptation 'controversies' were a load of nonsense. filmstories.co.uk/news/the-ody...

"I'd give that 4-10 minutes if I were you"

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and 80s TV show Ulysses 31 tell us a great deal about the retelling of ancient stories. filmstories.co.uk/news/the-ody...

Not good enough. I want Burnham in a white uniform covered in medals. Haigh and Midgely flanking him in huge sunglasses. A visibly shaken Starmer reading out a statement in support of his predecessor. The lot

You see those scenes at the final whistle and it’s a delight that Argentina didn’t win.

Cynical, scheming, boring and then - finally, inevitably - violent. Properly shameful operation which shouldn't be whitewashed by being called 'streetwise'.

Never has a team more richly deserved to lose than Argentina.

Good

love them or loathe them, there's one thing you can't deny about the Argentinian football team: they're a bunch of cunts

Roughly once a year I remember this click hole post, and then I laugh till I cry

I love that this is in the Fast & Furious font.

Two World Cups, two tech grifts

Just watched A SCANNER DARKLY. Written & directed by Richard Linklater based on the book by Philip K Dick. This is a great film. Weird & unsettling, with a beautiful visual style. And it’s the closest adaptation of proper #PKD I’ve ever seen, capturing his twisted reality & dark humour. Great stuff!

It has more chance of becoming couscous

Oh look it's me waffling on about crap modern movie gunfights

If we keep playing like this then I reckon we could win the World Cup

This looks ace

Dinosseur, with these Ferocious Rocher you are really spoiling us.

England up 1 deciding to sit back and do nothing with 9 in the box for a half hour against Argentina in the World Cup

It's all about those pockets of space

The Odyssey is cosmic horror with a bit of action and drama on the side. I loved it. My review for @filmstories.bsky.social :

My brand thinks AI is a pile of shit. There, that took way less than 60 seconds.

The Odyssey is cosmic horror. And yes, that's a heartfelt recommendation.

Wrote a little tribute to Sam Neill's fabulous genre film work. Even Omen III contained some wonderfully blasphemous monologuing.

Feeling quite a bit of melancholy over Sam Neill's passing. But then I remember that he gave cinema moments like this. Rest in peace, Mr Neill. youtu.be/upNphtZCvjs?...

The Audible version is just one long exhausted sigh.
