I went to see 28 YEARS LATER again after sitting with it for a few days and I have to say, I like it a lot. #filmsky #letterboxd

I watched the original Ishiro Honda GODZILLA all the way though for the first time last night. It’s even better than I imagined it could be. #filmsky #letterboxd

#NowWatching THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY Always love a bit of Jim Cummings. Did not know Barbara Crampton was also in this. #letterboxd #filmsky

#NowWatching 28 YEARS LATER Didn’t get a rewatch of the other films in due to being in France for a week (hard life), but I need aircon and have two hours to kill so why not? Expectations are fairly low-to-mid.

It’s gotta be APOCALYPSE NOW or ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. Both by the age of 10.

Dreamt that I was having an affair with Carmela Soprano last night. Maybe it was the thrill of having life-endangering sex, but that woman knew her way around the bedroom…

The closest analogue to this that springs to mind is when Bender Bending Rodriguez asks for his friends to throw him a funeral and then criticises everyone who speaks for not being sad enough.

It will drive that thing mad that I’ve heard nothing about his little parade whatsoever, because pretty much every major city turned out to protest and the news covered them instead. Really great work, America. That’s what freedom should look like. Now remove him before more people die.

I know a good word for violence used for political ends. It’s “terrorism”. That’s the definition. Regardless of anyone’s skin colour. Use it. It is appropriate. They are terrorists.

There are two really fun, visually exciting action scenes in BALLERINA. The rest is decidedly average and, once again, far too long. I don’t get how some of y’all hyped it up as one of the best Wick-verse films. It’s dead last, for me. #filmsky #letterboxd

Just the way I’m feeling.

#NowWatching TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY If you can’t improve on the central concept, expand on the action to make one of the most relentless, breathless, technologically significant action films of all time. There are issues in the script this time out, but not in the filmmaking.

#NowWatching ACT OF VENGEACE (AKA The Violator, AKA Rape Squad) A very mixed bag of exploitative titillation, female empowerment, revenge and dark, dark humour. I bloody love this film.

Freedom of speech and the right to protest are dead. Which means, so is democracy. It’s over.

I swear, I never wanna hear a single American talk about “the greatest country in the world” ever again until you put every last person responsible for the ICE situation on trial. You are living in an authoritarian nightmare right now, straight up fascist dictator shit. Disgusting.

I’m very late to this, but thanks to Pluto TV I’m really into Kim’s Convenience. Genuinely funny, heartfelt, well written and the cast is great - lots of supporting players that I’ve looked up to see how they’re doing. The final episode epitomises the way it wasn’t preachy or overly sentimental.

There’s a Manic Streer Preachers song called Miss Europa Disco Dancer that fades out to a repetition of “Braindead motherfuckers, braindead motherfuckers…” Anyway, Reform are leading in the polls and it made me think of that.

#NowWatching RED SUN Charlie Bronson, Ursula Andress, Toshiro Mifune AND Alain Delon? From Terence Young, director of multiple Connery Bonds? Doing Shanghai Noon in 1971?! Sign me the hell up. #filmsky #letterboxd

If you’ve seen more than a couple of Wes Anderson’s films, you already know if you’re going to enjoy THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME or not. I did. #letterboxd #filmsky
