Roberta Findlay includes a wall of her porn film posters in her not-good unreleased final film BANNED (1989).

As a cultural critic focusing on film, I see a work like Eli Roth's gen AI-powered Ice Cream Man has having more in common with, say, a bluetooth sound bar than a work of cinema. "But is it art?" you say. The answer is that, if you employ such methods of creation, then no, it is not.

More library music cues familiar from British TV in American exploitation films: from Al Adamson’s FIVE BLOODY GRAVES (1969).

Just found this in my phone which I made when I had a week-old baby who never slept and also Covid and was totally delirious. It’s a joke that maybe makes sense to about 6 people.

Jump to 50 seconds in and listen to the music they use. Trust me. Your flabber will have never been so gasted.

Special bonus feature:

It remains strange to me that there is no internal resistance to Badenoch’s Tory party death spiral. I guess there aren’t that many MPs to produce a rival faction.

Regret to report that there has been an outbreak of poetry on Facebook nostalgia pages which is not “Corned beef of my childhood”.

I hate the song Mr Brightside for a very silly reason. I grew up with a kid down my street who used to do this thing where he would say a funny rhyme and every time it sounded like he was going to say something rude, he would go off on a tangent to a different rhyme, and it used to get on my tits…

I remember Peel playing this and being amazed by it and running to buy the album. There was nothing else as good as this on it, of course.

BREAKING: A brand new “Christian men’s gym” in Georgia that bans women so pious men can have “lust-free workouts” lasted just 6 days before three men were caught “violating Leviticus in the locker room.”

Today reminds me there was a UK journalist who died and received fulsome tributes from many others. It was considered the height of rudeness when some pointed out none of the tributes had mentioned he'd killed his wife. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ka...

Got very drunk on Sunday, something I do incredibly rarely nowadays. Now in second day of chronic hangover.

Just a reminder that Hawkstone Lager and IPA are not produced by gentleman farmers in the Cotswolds, but on an industrial scale at Tennent's jakey piss production facility off Duke Street in Glasgow.

As multiple people have pointed out, the history of the LDS is the history of divine revelations occurring within an age of mass media, and please, make of that what you will.

The story of how the LDS accepted Black people is incredible. IRS: "So you refuse to ordain Black people as bishops?" LDS: "Yes, it's god's will." IRS: "As a racially discriminatory organization, you are no longer tax exempt." LDS: "Hang on... you are NOT gonna believe who I just talked to."

Cameron was told to build more reservoirs and he said fuck that. As with much of our current problems, the blame lies with that jizz faced public school bastard.

Singles charts are now meaningless because not every song is a single and listening to a song is not the same as buying it.

Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

Took all the cover shots earlier for my children to use if/when they make a hippy-dippy pastoral folk album.

My favourite bit in The Odyssey is when Odysseus gets home and can’t get into his house and John Leguziamo pops up and goes ‘we need a doorknob!’

I’ve said this before, but the correct reaction of the mainstream parties to Reform should have been to note that all the racist lunatics and morons were safely ensconced in an amateur-hour party that barely manages 25%, and work towards wooing the rest of the voters rather than chasing the idiots.

Was in Barrow-in-Furness today which is full of amazing municipal and industrial buildings which reveal its past as an industrial powerhouse. Was fascinated by this art deco beauty which turned out to be the fire exit of a branch of Next round the corner.

1/8. Some of the films that Travis Bickle passes (and, in one case, watches) in Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976) - shot in New York during the summer of 1975. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, USA, 1974) Return of the Dragon aka The Way of the Dragon (Bruce Lee, Hong Kong, 1972)
