@nivenj1.bsky.social - JD Tommy Lee Vance has had a makeover, not in a good way. Wasn’t so angry when he did the hit parade #whitehouse #henhouse #shitehouse

"He was an expert – simply the best there was during my lifetime – at rendering the true occult dimensions of life & drawing pathways through life."

The @ohmpods.bsky.social #MINHUNTER series - profile of Michael Mann's 1986 myth-making, genre-defining masterpiece #Manhunter is racing to its conclusion. Check out all the amazing guests, incl. @bilgeebiri.bsky.social @blacktopkid.bsky.social @lindseyromain.bsky.social @brndnstrssng.bsky.social

One of my best film experiences this year was talking to Blake about one of my favourite Michael Mann movies (see second post in thread).
His enthusiasm for cinema is a great antidote to the cheap & easy cynicism I see online.
Great company to be in as well.

In the absence of an official RBP Xmas card, this 1981 greeting from Greg Shaw's beloved Bomp! label was gratefully received this week from Mark "Radio Pete" Bliesener. Have yourselves a very cool Yule, y'all!
