Still in a schlocky 80s creature horror mood so revisiting this in which I was obsessed with the VHS cover as a kid whenever I visited my local video shop.

An amazing charity shop find right down to its iconic 16-bit poster and just for a quid especially when it’s going for 30 times more on eBay.

Bonus points to @edgarwright.bsky.social for appearing in a promo before his familiar but enjoyable The Running Man explaining we were watching a captioned version of the film with descriptive text, I'm pretty sure this is the first time a director has ever done this.

As ever @realgdt.bsky.social instills so much sympathy and tenderness towards his creature coupled with a compelling Elordi, a triumph of gothic horror with breathtaking production design, shocking moments of gory violence, a magnetic Issac, and a heartbreaking ending.

Even in script form Gary Oldman’s only directional attempt is just as grim, gritty and compelling.

A beaut of a making-of book that nearly sprained my wrist whilst holding it when I took this photo but I expect nothing less from a @realgdt.bsky.social film ❤️

Revisiting Oliver Stone's The Doors (via The Final Cut) and whilst it's still a struggle being engaged by a stunning Val Kilmer's Jim Morrison's character who comes across as arrogant and difficult, the film is a triumph of 90s filmmaking with it's spectacular concert sequences.

Such sad news about the passing of Drew Struzan who was easily the most important and iconic film poster illustrator in the industry with too many incredible posters to mention but his alternative poster for Bladerunner will always be my absolute favourite.

A typically hard boiled, lean, mean, gritty and masculine Hill classic with a classic ensemble cast gritting hard boiled, macho dialogue through their clenched teeth and a glorious amount of shoot outs with an abundance of good old fashioned bullet squibs.

Gave up halfway through the Showa-era Gamera films as they were getting progressively worse and jumped straight to the Heisei-era and just as I hoped, just like the Godzilla films of that era, a superb reboot with excellent kaiju and tokusatsu effects, strong cast and storylines.

Revisiting Chazelle’s wonderful First Man, a stunningly crafted and acted look at the man behind one of mankind’s greatest achievements and more than most, a heartbreaking look at parental grief.

Feeling a bit teary eyed after watching the last ever West Wing episode, this is easily one of the greatest, just a masterclass in prestige TV drama ❤️

Zero Effect; A vintage late 90s neo-noir, a fresh, confident and original debut by writer / director Kasdan, a memorably unhinged and paranoid Pullman, a nice balance of offbeat character-led humour and a gripping low-key mystery plot.
