If you're corrected about your approach when discussing marginalized experiences by someone living it, remember someone decided to educate you instead of blocking you.
It stings to be told you're wrong. I know this as an autistic who's less than graceful. But, learning >>> prideful lashing out.

Seeing Udo Kier's name in title credits always made me happy. You never knew if you would get subtle intensity or sheer insanity (quite often it would be both), but it was always a pleasure when he showed up.

Binge watching Physical Asia, whilst binging on crisps just as the crossfitters would want me to.

Periodically, this @pftompkins.bsky.social bit about the quality clientele he would encounter during his time working at a novelty hat shop will bubble up in my brain and then, having delighted me once again, will recede into the depths to await its next surprise visit...

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

What In the Grip of Terror nails, that most retro-style horror films don't get right, is the sound. It really sounds like it was recorded in the late 60s/early 70s.
It makes me hopeful to see what the new Amicus have in store for us in the future.

...and people wonder why Green Party membership is soaring.
🚨 | Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed that the YourParty membership sign up link posted this morning by Zarah Sultana was unauthorised.
Over 20,000 people had already signed up, with the standard rate being £55 per annum. These are set to be cancelled.

Butch & Sundance, The Sting, All the Presidents Men, Brubaker, The Natural, Sneakers to name but a few. Redford had movie star charisma, yes, but there was a significant quality to his acting to back it up and make his performances truly memorable.

A piece of shit fascist is killed by another piece of shit fascist for not being a big enough piece of shit fascist. That's right, innit?
And I'm expected to mourn and have sympathy? Nah, mate not doing that.

Fuck this government and anyone that voted for them. It's been a cavalcade of shit ever since they took power.
No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.
Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

I find no fault with this statement. Trash movies from the 60s are all of 70s-00s?
trash movies from the 70s are art
trash movies from the 80s are camp

trash movies from the aughts are nostalgia

There could only ever be one Ozzy. He was one of a kind and, given his lifestyle choices in the past, its lucky he lasted as long as he did. Glad he saw out his career on home turf with a great farewell gig.

💯 Yes. I'd love a new ensemble road race action comedy. This casting is a no brainer, and I'm sure they'd both be up for it.

One of the greatest joys of Poker Face, and there are many, is finding out how Charlie ends up at the scene of the crime. The "ah, so that's how" never fails to make me smile.
