Retired. English. Obsessions: Bridge, fantasy football, jazz, soul, R and B, collecting movies on physical media, cluttering the house with stuff relating to the above.
Many thanks to @pamhutch.bsky.social for an illuminating contextual guide to The Vamp at Fabrica Brighton this evening. As usual, entertaining and scholarly in an uneffacing way.

Four shining moments for me at @filmnoiruk.bsky.social Festival today. Gun Crazy obvs, but also the measured tension and sly red herrings of Plunder Road, the claustrophobic Beware My Lovely and the Neil-Branded Forgotten Faces with its lucid silent grammar. A memorable weekend, thank you.

I am not normally an impatient being, but I simply can’t wait for this

This first volume in an ongoing series explores the films of new wave icon Nagisa Oshima (Cruel Story of Youth, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence).

Just received my BFI Sep-Oct programme but haven’t got to read it yet as it smells too good to open. Might take up glue-sniffing at my advanced age.

After watching the fabulous Henry Fonda for President at #cineredis25 today I have impulse-bought the Bea Arthur series Maude on eBay. It will be queued behind Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and The Mary Tyler Moore box sets, also recently purchased.

I am not good at talking to people at events, but I wanted to say here that #cineredis25 is exceeding all my expectations. Just came out of Killer of Sheep an emotional wreck - thank you so much!

Tremendous evening at the BFI with 2 absorbing films selected by @rememberthispod.bsky.social
Audience levels disappointing. The Liberation of LB Jones - visceral, stark and shockingly contemporary. The Only Game in Town evinced how meticulous Stevens was even in his decline. Thank you, Karina.
