I live in Athens GA and I like movies and barbecue.
Pinned
Galactic greetings to all new Bluesky users! I’m Grant, I live in Athens, Georgia, and I like Athens, Georgia, Doctor Who, and fun old movies, particularly the ones with Christopher Lee, samurai, spies, or giant monsters. And barbecue. I like barbecue even more than you do.
I guess one advantage to Flashback not showing any old movies that I want to watch for the rest of the year is that we won’t have to see the godawful trailer for that godawful Cat in the Hat movie until 2026.

Farewell to a titan! We just watched Ran yesterday morning, and that is one hell of a performance.
RIP Tatsuya Nakadai
One of the best to ever do it. An expert at being a wild-eyed, haunted weirdo.

To celebrate Richard Burton’s centenary, I’m watching BOOM! today. It’s beginning as bonkers as I’ve read.

Happy to announce my availability for the post of BBC Director-General.
I know you expect “More Doctor Who” to be part of my manifesto, but no, it’s simply this: when trolls insist the BBC not be mean to Trump / Farage, my response will be: “Fuck you, make me.” This will make the BBC 200% better.

I really didn’t enjoy Sanshiro Sugata part two (1945, Kurosawa’s fourth film) very much, but I loved this dude’s trash talk.

When I was 10, I imagined not only having a "Shogun Warrior" of my favorite giant robot, Grandizer, but also his launching spaceship. I learned today there actually was one in the 1970s! It was a ride-on toy for preschoolers! Source: robotjapan.proboards.com
