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.

I've just seen the spliced Trump footage on the BBC and I'm not surprised he's annoyed. That's clearly been edited.

There’s a lot of focus on Richard Burton today, but did you know that the actor and author Alistair MacLean were once involved in a punch-up at the Dorchester? (The Scot won). And that the two men are buried in the same graveyard in Switzerland? www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/past-time...

Keep thinking of when Disney tried to sue the BBC when Alexei Sayle’s Stuff parodied Snow White and the BBC legal person was heard to say, ‘Fuck Disney, we’re the BBC.’

Beebgate demonstrates two truths:
1 Right wing media hold everyone else to exacting standards of ethics and probity while holding themselves to none whatsoever.
2. You can’t curry favour with the right wing if you’re an entity they want to destroy.

Reading a Doctor Who Magazine Fourth Doctor vol. 1 Tom baker special and saw a reference to Spike Milligan's Q "The Pakistani Dalek" sketch. It's on YouTube and just as offensive as it sounds.

This sounds awful. And decades late. We had all sorts of this shite on our screens in the nineties, love across the barricades rubbish. Half this stuff doesn't even sound plausible.

This adaptation of Louise Kennedy’s masterly novel, set in 70s Belfast, sees a Catholic teacher drawn into a dangerous affair with a Protestant barrister. It really hits a nerve

I think a lot about the leaked signal chat, in which it was clear that folks were claiming presidential backing without any evidence. That’s how our government is running. People lying that they’ve talked to the president.
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

I guarantee the sails and most of the masts and rigging are VFX. I wish directors would just ease off on all this. Yes, yes, there are physical decks and ladders and cabins, we get it.
Guillermo del Toro refused to use VFX for the ship in 'Frankenstein' so they built one from scratch ⚓️
"The ship is a character ... I didn't want the audience to go, 'Oh, this is all digital' ... once you introduce that, it's like a license for people not to believe things"
