Well that was frankly marvellous - the first time on a VERY big screen. Nothing new apart from the very end though the slight changes in quality have been ironed out in the uncut Japanese version and it looks better than ever. I've never spotted Peter Cushing's natty red braces before! #Dracula

7.45 tonight for the cinema experience of the year! Uncut for the first time. Slightly tempered by a large sliver of sadness that my friend John J Johnson is no longer alive but I will be thinking of him as I often do especially when I see DRACULA! 💓

Good lord I remember why I rarely go to Cineworld. Can I get a lovely cup of tea I'm too early? No! You can have a slice of pumpkin spiced mocha latte beef taco sugar surprise for 25 quid!

Well despite doing a bare minimum to publicise it on the pages I've set up for it and flat lining in the UK, a novel I wrote seems to be doing well in the US. I guess it's story of tech bros gone ape, rampant inflation, insane leaders etc seems to be chiming a chord... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D3ZSGDHY

Sally Rooney: To publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence. After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

JOIN US!, tomorrow at 9pm BST, as Jean Rollin comes to #TheFilmCrowd for the 1st time. We're watching THE IRON ROSE, the tale of a couple who get lost in a huge cemetery, & their fear (& maybe something more?), takes them over. Haunting, surreal & dreamlike, one of Rollin's best. Link👇 #Gothtober

Reform UK councillors and candidates filmed making graphic threats of extreme violence, expressing racist and misogynistic views. Bromley councillor calling for King Charles to be killed. That's the kind of people Reform attracts. It has normalized hatred. What would a Reform govt unleash?
