The Rocking Horse Winner takes it over A Bullet for the General by a short head. BftG is a deep red spaghetti western set in revolutionary Mexico. TRHW is a truly spooky, atmospheric vintage horror which leaves the rest standing. #letterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky #moviesky

I can't pick a winner. Lon Chaney in the 1941 The Wolf Man was hugely influential but is pure ham and cheese. The Ghost Story was like a bad TV movie. Jack Nicholson in a small role steals the show in The Raven. #letterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky #moviesky #halloween #horror

Cats were a popular vehicle for political satarists: the perception of them as cunning. The title Dignitaries flags the work as satire, as does the contented smirk of the handsome striped cat who is toying with his victim before devouring it.

Starmer is a supporter of Zionism. The violence by Israeli football fans is an expression of Zionism.

The standout film of the week is the low budget adaptation of HP Lovecraft by Andrew Leman which captures both the cosmic dread and existential anxiety of The Call of Cthulhu. Carnal Knowledge is also pretty bleak in its own way. #letterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky #moviesky

Working my way through my Moviedrome unwatched list but a forgotten Italian masterpiece of the Italian Civil War (1943-45) and a "don't go knocking on the doors of strangers" slowburn, gory horror got in the way. You can't live on a diet of cult candy. Bella ciao

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Trump's actions, Starmer's support are a shameful indictment of the 'western democracies' driving our planet & its people into war, disease, poverty & climate catastrophe. If Bush & Blair's crimes had been punished, this wouldn't be happening. What is the point of the UN? We are the rogue states.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.
Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.
Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.
