Since my last imagepost, I did one more thing at #LFF2025 ("Rental Family" Gala, review soon) but yeah, got to my average of seeing 5 films again and no movie was a dud. Another great fest, thank you London~ <3
Side of the BFI Southbank's entrance, alternatively known as the National Film Theatre, on an overcast last-afternoon in London's Southbank. Lights and lit-up signs have already been turned on in advance of the coming night. A colourful BFI London Film Festival 2025 banner adorns the side of the marquee. To the right side of an entrance into the Southbank Centre is a colourful wall adorned with BFI London Film Festival 2025 logos and above that, an electronic sign utilising a poster for the film "Rental Family" besides a poster for the festival with words at the bottom saying "American Express Gala". A red carpet adorns the floor that follows into the building and several people in front of the colourful wall mingle ahead of going inside. It's an overcast last-afternoon, rendered slightly darker looking by the lighting choice of the photo. Evening in London, the skyline surrounding St. Paul's Cathedral is our focus with the buildings lit up, a bridge lit from below with colourful fluorescent lighting and the river Thames illuminated by the reflections of it all. London Blackfriars train station, nighttime. An empty wide shot of the station with a sign signalling the name of the station and directions to the left and right to outside locations hovering above a set of metal chairs. The windows have a deep blackness to them that the lights of buildings from a London skyline decorate. As of when this was taken, there's no trains visible as of yet. (Fun fact: this was taken 2 days before the other photos, which were taken in my last LFF trip of the year on Thursday 16th October 2025.)

#LFF2025 "She's the He", a spirited transgender-orientated comedy-drama that absolutely deserves some nice distribution deals. Like...really, seriously, someone get this out there nice and wide! Review: https://letterboxd.com/adeioctober/film/shes-the-he/

Ended up doing two more outings for #LFF2025, bringing the amount of films I've seen to being back to average-numbers. Will that be it? We'll see. Reviews coming up, enjoy the snaps. x)
Screen at the auditorium at BFI Southbank with a colourful pattern on it, a BFI London Film Festival 2025 logo at the top and a message that reads: "Please test your AD headset now. If you do not hear music, let one of our team know." This was taken Sunday 12th October 2025, before a screening of the film "Little Amelie". The near-middle view from inside the lobby of the BFI Southbank, sith entrances to the Balcony Bar and to the Box Office & Cinemas sections. The Balcony Bar side has a silvery-coloured neon sign and is lit with a beige hue, while the other is lit with a much more reddish hue with the sections that the entrance lead to glowing a strong blue in this shot, the entrance's neon sign is red. Screen at an auditorium at BFI Southbank with a colourful pattern on display, a BFI London Film Festival logo and a black bar placed slightly above the middle that's displaying live captions. These live captions emanate from a row of people who are in front of said screen, one of them talking while a presenter and the rest of the people in the row look on. These are people associated with the film "She's the He" and constitute the writer-director and 3 of its actors. Taken Tuesday 14th October 2025. Nighttime view of the side of the BFI Southbank's entrance, featuring a weakly-lit BFI London Film Festival 2025 ad sign on the side facing us. City lights to the sides of the photo surround the view, alongside trees with increasingly autumnal leaves. The entrance is below a section of London Bridge, that has a long strip of colourful light glowing on its upper edge.

A really enjoyable, albiet physically exhausting, day in London yesterday for #LFF2025! Saw "Wake Up Dead Man" at the Royal Festival Hall and "Twinless" st Curzon Soho.

Dunno how many more I'll do yet but whatever happens, that day was ace. <3 Please see "Wake Up Dead Man" when it's out too.
Side of BFI Southbank building (in London, near Waterloo) with colourful. "BFI London Film Festival 2025" signage to its side. Taken on an overcast day with spacious yet lively foot-traffic surrounding. To the right is a mostly-green tree, near the middle is a statue of a man holding a sword valiantly and in the distance is the London Eye. A wide-angle shot of the inside of the Royal Festival Hall (Southbank Centre, London), a lavish and expansive theatre auditorium. A colourful, bright screen with the BFI London Film Festival 2025 logo on it is at the picture's centre, as people also attending this presentation make their ways in. Overcast late-afternoon in London, specifically in Trafalgar Square. A curved screen with multiple video advertisements curve to the side of a historic building (currently a large shop for Lindt chocolates). To the far-left edge of the screen is the Coca-Cola logo over bright imagery, above that is a Samsung TV ad and to the right side (our center) is an ad for the film "Tron: Ares",. on a frame that's actor Jared Leto's eye in direct close-up. Mostly darkened shot of the inside of a screen at Curzon Soho, as audience members make their way in for a presentation. Like the Royal Festival Hall photo, a colourful screen with the BFI London Film Festival 2025 logo is at the center of our view.

There is no ethical way to engage with Harry Potter.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

OK, I don't like "screenshot expose"-type posts these days but hey, uh...how do I react to this and unpack it?

Guy (ID scrubbed) who posts TV ads from the 70's-90's responded to my post questioning how he and his commenters avoid or only ironically talk about Caitlyn Jenner's current identity.
Comment on YouTube from "AIOctober" (god, I need to change that username, the A is for Ade). Text reads: "This is a great upload as always, but I'll be frank, kinda weirded out by the lack of acknowledgement of Caitlyn Jenner's current identity outside of snide jokes in the comments and I think while the commercial acknowledges her as her deadname Bruce as that's how she identified at the time, she came out three years before this upload (2015) so unless the upload was done simply not knowing or thinking about how her current identity affects how she is referred to when mentioning her in archival material, like...l dunno, maybe you could refer to her as her current self and include a "(then Bruce Jenner)" instead next time, yeah? Unless that was figured out later of course, I've not been fully on top of these uploads recently, just know that that's how the transgender community would prefer to be acknowledged in these circumstances, no matter what you think of Caitlyn Jenner as a person." Reply to comment made by "AIOctober" by a user, the original uploader of the 70's commercial compilation these comments are from. His identity has been scrubbed from the screenshot. The reply reads: "These commercials are from a time in 1979 when they were known as Bruce Jenner. Whatever happened after that and outside of the timeframe of my channel is not really a concern to me. If you want to call it "deadnaming" or whatever you are free to do that, but to me it would be revisionist history to do otherwise. No disrespect. I have friends who are trans, and I feel like this aspect of it is the most off-putting to me. You can't erase the past; it's completely antithetical to what I do on this channel."

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social
Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210" It reads: "Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz" At bottom is an illustration of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a kite wrapped around the dog house.

One of my best friends wrote about generative AI and good god, those news article links on the harm it's done and will do...we seriously will look back at all this and wonder how the hell we let all of this happen like it did, aren't we?

Great writing.

God, I love the new mix of "Free as a Bird" so much. Way to make one of the lowkey best songs ever made and make it even better.

Thought of @danacorn.bsky.social listening to it, given when I found her on BlueSky she was talking about what The Beatles mean't to her. :)

What I’m about to say may be a bit too far but….

The current animation fandom is as bad as modern CEOs

Using K-POP to attack Disney/Pixar films like Wish and Elio and then harassing the people who worked on FIXED???

They are no different than Bob Iger and Ted Sarandos.

Experimented by connecting my Switch 2 to my VCR and recorded gameplay.

Folks, I know this is a silly little video-enthusiast hobby and not a serious contemporary matter but...you ever squint to see what something is and when you get closer, it's still just as blurry?

Yeeeeeah, haha.
