At the Tyneside Cinema for their 9pm screening of Eraserhead - really looking forward to seeing a midnight movie classic at a rare late-night cinema screening!

Restoring Shirley Bassey's vocals to the recent alternate Moonraker instrumental main titles from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social - personally far prefer it to what was used, and it really suits the vibe of the film

Particularly love the use of the Flight into Space motif!

This shot from Batman (1989) is one of my favourite script to screen translations, with the addition of that great expressionistic shadow:

The first DVD I ever owned was Freddy vs Jason and I regret multiple factors.
