Indie Cinema (Luxe Wisbech) manager with a beard and glasses - really helping beat the stereotypes. I love films, like photography and I own an unreasonable amount of tee shirts with female directors/creators emblazoned upon them.
253 down - 12 to go!

At the beginning of the year I decided to watch EVERY film featured in The Great Book of Movie Monsters.

This week I shall be finishing that challenge.

The final film shall be The Mole People as it’s the cover title for the book, so it felt appropriate to watch that one last.

Jesus. Diane Keaton. RIP to a legend who managed to carve out a lifelong career in an industry that frequently robs women like her of dignity and status once they hit 40.

Diane just threw on a turtleneck and said "fuck you, I'm still going."

Pass secured for Autumn Screening Days + Audience Dev Day. The highlight of my film year, and whilst I’ll be flying this one solo for the first time in almost five years, I’m still super excited to catch up with familiar faces and meet new ones too! And the added bonus of being at the Phoenix again!

As part of my (almost finished!!) Monster Movies challenge I watched Burn Witch Burn/Night of the Eagle for the first time and BOY is it a good ‘un!

Revisiting an old favourite this week, thanks to the excellent Network release on Blu (including retro tv ad breaks ❤️). Just super.

Yesterday evening I popped my ‘Indie Cinema Manager’ hat on and went along to the excellent South Holland Centre to watch 15.And.Killing.It (or at least the existing two episodes). It’s been put together by the Holbeach Film Company - not letting budget restraints temper their creativity.

In other news, this memory popped up of the EGX Fringe love show with the MGP folks. Was my first proper one without any alcohol in play. Was VERY worried about not being able to perform but by the end of it audience members had sat on my knee, I’d blagged free water and mocked a Pokemon story.

Finally catching up on watching Slow Horses. Why did no-one tell me that Jack Lowden was so fast!? Like a blonde Sonic the Hedgehog if this edit is to be believed.

Should reboot my interest in this. Finally binned Twi/X - following an experiment of what would happen if I didn’t engage and didn’t post anything. Answer? Whole thing has become a stream of flag shagging, racism, Islamophobia, transphobia and genuine fuckery. It takes work to keep waters clean.

I’ve been continuing with my year-long project of watching all 265 movies featured in the Great Book of Movie Monsters. This are the most recent watches - many for the very first time.

It’s going to be a VERY tough slog to actually source EVERY movie, but I’m working on it.

Haven’t been posting on here as much as I intended. It’s strange - but since semi-retiring from Twi/X I’ve been less engaged. I was following a well-curated bunch that in part has now been scattered to the wind.

Today was a tough day. Been a tough week. Just about broken me. Again.

There are precious few films that have me imploring a character OUT LOUD to do the thing that will make them happy.

Chuck Chuck Baby is one such film, both heart-warming and heart-breaking in equal measure.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
I’ve also come to realise I’ll never witness a more impressive sight than @bouncybhall.bsky.social continuing to eat his dinner while Sheepdog flooded the floor in thick eggnog sick next to him.

Had the double pleasure last night of screening Black Christmas alongside an informative and entertaining presentation from my friend Emily on the subject of Holiday Horror.

Made some Yorkshire pudding batter this week. Have been banging on about how good I am at it and - in all honesty - this was a sub-par effort…

Every now and then we run a show which appeals to the older guests in the area - and I do my best to always be on the door to greet them and help them in.

Today was no different (André Rieu) but standing in storm weather getting soaked was new. Comments from guests were as follows:

I didn’t have “get up earlier than necessary and fall down the last four steps of my stairs” on my 2024 Bingo Card, but there we go.

If there’s a better form of movie marketing than a pearls-clutching ‘mom’ criticising a movie for being unsuitable for children, I’ve yet to see it.

In other news - I’m about to watch that Jack Black Santa/Satan flick.

Have been watching a LOT of Detectorists & Loudermilk episodes recently to shift a funk I’m in and last night I dreamt that I had both Ron Livingstone and Adam Riches in the cinema for a screening.

Was great seeing our box office software melting over the last couple of weekends as folks rushed to book in. I’m not naive enough to think the worst is behind us, but this is VERY encouraging. Now if only there could be a push to make more varied titles and rep programming less restrictive…
AMC Theatres has added a queue to purchase tickets after seeing significant demand to go to the movies this weekend.

It is currently tracking to be the highest grossing Thanksgiving weekend for movies ever.

That cracking feeling of seeing yourself in a great photo - walking like you’ve never walked down steps before and are about to stack it.
