Physical media, baking, standing stones, these are a few of my favourite things.
My Letterboxd: boxd.it/3dAKD
- Early highlight from @slapstickfest.bsky.social is Buster Keaton en francais in The King of the Champs-Élysées. My first sound Keaton and probably the best. The intro by Polly Rose was also delightful. boxd.it/cZcFOF
- On the bus 🚌 to the 2026 Slapstick Fest! Three days of comedy double teams, classy French wit and *checks itinerary* Japanese zombie mayhem.
- #SlapstickFest26 begins TODAY at @wshed.bsky.social and #bristolmegascreen! Comment if you're joining us 👋 Tickets still available for some events via the link below 👇
- At @wshed.bsky.social for what I’m guessing could be an all time cinema experience. First my first ever Godard 😲 with Breathless which is one of my fav micro genres; French people do crime. Then I’m going to see Richard Linklater’s Nouveau Vague about the maki of Breathless. 😆 So much France today
- Got a really good #lastfourwatched this week, all cinema or film club in a pub basement watches. We get Joan Crawford at her most unhinged, the genocide in Gaza represented in microcosm, the most highly rated film on #Letterboxd and the 🤯 movie. #filmsky
- Reposted by David T H LewisIn solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
- On Sunday evening I had the honour to meet the great Lloyd Kaufman at a screening of Tromeo and Juliet. So wonderful to encounter this utter sunbeam of a man who is still so dedicated to us fans. And also the lovely Patricia Kaufman who is also delightful. #filmsky #Letterboxd #Troma
- #nowwatching Thirst (1979), an Australian cult/conspiracy exploitation film I first saw at @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social and loved it so much I had to grab a copy at the last Indicator sale. (P.S. @indicator.bsky.social plz add Razorback and Next of Kin to your ozploitation line) #filmsky
- It’s “Oops, all seventies!” in this #lastfourwatched An almost perfect run of communism spoilt by a last second Shaw Brothers. Three East German sci-fi glam disco sagas full of the glorious future of socialism followed by Chang Cheh showing how the disabled are still deadly. #filmsky #Letterboxd
- I’m going to get to see this live in about a month thanks to @slapstickfest.bsky.social so this lovely review is very timely for me. 👍 Sounds like I’ll be having a blast with Olive Thomas.
- Last night at @cubecinema.com for the farewell tour of Hellfire Video Club 😭 starting with the sweet restoration of Night of the Juggler by @filmsradiance.bsky.social An absolute glorious blast of NYC sleaze and action. One of those films that makes movies magic #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/cyFedn
- It’s #lastfourfriday We have suspenseful Hitchcock goodness, high stakes accountancy, a year in the life for some nice and ordinary people and the absolute worst porno I have ever seen. #filmsky #Letterboxd
- RIP Yuen Cheung-yan, member of the prolific Yuen Clan who was an actor, stunt man, action choreographer and director in some amazing films from the golden age of Hong Kong action and beyond. Did a memorial watch of a film where he was all of the above. #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/cpQrJx
- So Trump is sending in the military to invade Venezuela and is right now bombing Caracas. This won’t end well for anybody anywhere. If he actually puts boots on the ground I bet things will get out of hand very quickly.
- Plan for 2026: Do The Parent Trap for real but instead of getting my divorced parents back together I’m going to reunite the Coen Brothers.
- I think mine might be worse. 😕
- My first watch of 2026 is the amazing ping pong movie that isn’t really about ping pong. It’s about how you can succeed by being 15% less full of shit. #filmsky #letterboxd boxd.it/cnE6BP
- For my first #lastfourwatched of 2026 we have the ping pong movie that’s not actually about ping pong, brits trying to stop yanks from getting everyone killed, a new years caper in the far future of 1999 and the most 2026 film of 1987. #filmsky #Letterboxd
- I saw that at Mayhem Film Festival earlier this year and it was one of the highlights of the fest. A great piece of inventive filmmaking that gets so much out its premise. Go catch this at @wshed.bsky.social boxd.it/bobVf9
- Christmas time is a time of ghost stories traditionally, so I’m going to be honouring that by watching the classic Ghost Stories For Christmas while wrapping my Christmas shopping. (Which I have now completed) #filmsky
- Walking into 2026
- Thanks to @swsilents.bsky.social for a brilliant Great War double bill. The fascinating doc The Battle of the Somme (filmed at the actual Battle of the Somme) paired with Kubrick’s Paths of Glory is a great cinematic experience. #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/bNDfQX
- It’s #lastfourwatched Friday! We have a very interesting gender bender twist on Jekyll and Hyde, an unfortunately disappointing Stephen King adaptation, Alice Guy’s recounting of the Paris Commune and the story of the most Japanese man who ever lived. #filmsky #Letterboxd
- Just watched one of the more interesting Hammer Horror films, DOCTOR JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE. Absolute top tier period settings combined with a maybe progressive maybe problematic gender bender plot. More going on here than the usual gothic shocker. #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/bMv2Ih
- -French people do crime -staring Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing/Vincent Price/Boris Karloff -creative visionaries from Eastern Europe fighting communist censorship to bring you the most mind bending shit possible -Hong Kong stunt men nearly dying for that shot -Italian people do crime, very violently
- Last night at @cubecinema.com Party Girl Productions put on a barnstormer of a celebration for Cher! Song, dance, drinking games and Nick Cage were all on hand to help us appreciate the eighth wonder of the world. Can’t wait for the next showing!
