Hello film migration people! I have followed 60-odd of my favourite accounts from Twitter. Some have already followed me back. If you have liked my nonsense on the other place, please follow me back and maybe put the word about I'm a good chap. James Bond, movies, books, sci-fi, Star Wars, etc.

Lee Marvin #botd and Sam Fuller on set of The Big Red One (1980)
Both men served in WWII. Marvin in the Pacific, Fuller in Europe. They knew what they were talking about. Not a perfect film, but an honest one.

Just back from Crime 101 and glad to say it lived up to this review. I was already looking forward to it, a bit disappointed by the general lukewarm response to it. Cast all doing excellent character work, Hemsworth especially.
"This is an unusually class-conscious crime film to have been released by a studio or streaming platform. It’s the rare Hollywood movie that has a very clear idea of what it wants to say, faithfully replicating genre clichés while putting a nifty spin on them." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/crim...
Crime 101 review: Superlative heist thriller would make Michael Mann proud
A crime thriller that can stand tall alongside the best of its genre.

The history of the last generation has been right wing parties scraping a technical victory by the thinnest possible margin, then ruling like tyrants, then centre-left parties winning decisively and deciding the nation can only heal if they enact right wing policies.

The president is the only major world leader pulling every lever of govt to shield pedophiles implicated in the biggest minor trafficking ring ever uncovered and it isn't even a story, forget major or ongoing. US political media needs to be burnt to the ground and rebuilt from ashes. Irredeemable
1. The president is burning up the American middle class with the largest tax increase since the early 1990s, which itself is snowballing the price of everything from coffee to clothes to carpets to car parts.

Yet this isn’t a major, ongoing, attention-grabbing story.

I have to believe Hughes was taking the piss with this

"In prison, dinner was always a big thing. Andrew was doing a sentence for misconduct in public office....and he had this wonderful system for doing the truffle. He'd use a razor, and he sliced it so thin it used to liquify in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system."

Now get the King to pay for clearing up that massive fly-tip on his land.
BREAKING: The King has issued a statement following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

I hope they don't just stop with Andrew, and I hope he faces further charges.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."
A small acrylic painting for a Patreon supporter. Quite a lovely hole in the ground really. I think the movie version of Bag End certainly had a lot of people going 'yeah I'd be happy to live there'.
