My favorite part of the screening was overhearing a discussion between two Gen-X lesbians on the way out. "I enjoyed its raucous explicit spirit but he no longer has the je ne sais quoi that he did in the 90s" "susan, none of us have the je ne sais quoi of the 90s anymore"

I enjoyed Gregg Araki's I WANT YOUR SEX primarily because it was amusing to go to the mall & see Olivia Wilde lube up a big pink dildo and stick it in Cooper Hoffman's ass.

#bootlegfriday marks the end of summer with Sly Stallone in one of his signature roles. In First Blood he wages a one man war against a small town police force. Come for the action, stay for the post-Vietnam disillusionment. Please repost and we'll see you this Friday. youtu.be/8ytj49gtniM?...

I wrote about my years filming with ex-wino turned chessmaster John Healy, exploring his bitter exile from the British literary world despite writing a runaway bestseller: www.rte.ie/culture/2026...

In the arena - John Healy's long road back from literary oblivion

Ahead of a special IFI screening of his acclaimed documentary Barbaric Genius, filmmaker Paul Duane reflects on the life and literary legacy of the film's subject, Grass Arena author John Healy.

Back in 1988 John Healy published his memoir The Grass Arena about his life as a wino turned chessmaster. This August the sequel, The Glass Cage, is published. To coincide with this @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social screen my 2011 documentary about Healy. Please share if you can ifi.ie/film/from-th...

There is no such thing as great and British.

Job application SENT. 🤞🤞

I was in Belfast a few weeks back. Checks out.

Big Monster Love@bigmonsterlove.bsky.social · yesterday

I am going to sound like a crackpot here (it was ever thus) but I could swear people in Dublin are taller than people in Belfast and I can't think of any reason that might be were it true, which it is.

Need something mindless this evening. #nowwatching Masters of the Universe.

You have to laugh don't you? IS THE ENDANGERED SPECIES 20 YEAR OLD WOMEN.

I am very fucking ready for autumn.

I mean we literally have the great Cruel Jaws. Maybe a sequel to that using more repurposed shark footage from more recent shark films. But have a great b-movie cast like Scott Adkins, Bill Camp, Kaitlyn Dever, Dennis Haysbert, Kiefer Sutherland and Pam Grier.

weinberg@weinbergs.bsky.social · 7mo ago

let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

Breaking out the 4K. #nowwatching Zodiac.

All the "greats" who loved young ones are dying recently

The National@scotnational.bsky.social · 2d ago

BREAKING: Sunday Times and Sun columnist Rod Liddle has died aged 66 after a short illness

That "men should be allowed, without judgement or consequence, to do an amount of harm to women and girls that I personally deem acceptable" seems to be a genuine opinion still held by too many people in the year two thousand and twenty six is incredibly grim

Been a long time since I have seen this. #nowwatching The Night of the Hunter.

The great Neko Case having to deal with Hansard back in the day. Horrendous.

socmot@socmot.bsky.social · 3d ago

I despise Substack and have previously said I will never read it (and I don't). But I will break my rule just for this eally disturbing piece of writing by Neko Case, who was / is in a band, The New Pornographers, who were supported by The Frames in 2002. nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...

Been years. #nowwatching Darkman.

Thanks all for the suggestions. If you don't see yours there are a couple of songs I knew pretty well. This is a YouTube link as I don't have Spotify. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Lads, I want to put together a random bit quality playlist of songs inspired by you all but will likely not know. If you have a favourite artist, give me a deep cut that you feel should be better known.

We got the beautiful Linda and Agnès from the great people at Cats Aid. Couldn't have hand picked picked us better cats (which they kinda did). We have bought our tickets, please support if you can.

It's been awhile. #nowwatching The Last Waltz.

Feeling a proper 90s good budget film. #nowwatching The Hunt for Red October.

Three Bronson films, all better than the new Spielberg.

Apparently the unacceptable bit is not that 24 people died

Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · 6d ago

The images coming from Ceuta are unacceptable. We cannot allow anyone to come to our Union without abiding by our rules. Dangerous crossings must stop immediately. Smuggling networks must be dismantled. And returns must be swift, as our rules allow.

HUP Emer!
