#TonightsMovie "Final Destination Bloodlines" (2025) Manages to bring new "life" to the franchise. Enjoyable.

Saturday nights are probably the loneliest.

‪ I finally got myself a Tom Baker scarf! (from vinted of course). Leia can wear it until autumn arrives!

New arrival... #Funko

#TonightsMovie "The Amateur" (1981) Thought I'd give the original a go. Sedate but oozing with late 70s/early 80s cold war bleakness.

#TonightsMovie "The Surfer" (2024) Not even sure if I liked it. was it a parable? a warning? or just crazy Cage shenanigans?

‪ Since my Mother died, I've effectively had no social contact outside of my part time job. I haven't seen my siblings in weeks. Crippled by loneliness some days.

#TonightsMovie "Streets Of Fire" (1984) I love the bombast and unique tone, tonight is what it feels to be young !

"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" 😞

#TonightsMovie "The Amateur" (2025) Workmanlike , strangely amoral, but enjoyable (although I've already forgotten most of the plot).

When I went back to work last week my voice was hoarse and squeaky all day. I realised that I hadn't spoken (out loud) to anyone in over a week. Modern life eh?

One of those films that you order as soon as it's announced 😍 (first "rattler" in years, disc seems thankfully ok, naughty Amazon!) @criterion.bsky.social

Same goes for political parties.

Early arrival from @rarewaves.bsky.social A true classic! @arrowvideo.bsky.social

Tiny building block BTAS Batmobile, enjoyable but diddly build (essentially all black pieces).

#TonightsMovie "The House with Laughing Windows" (1976) More gothic horror than #Giallo tbh but stylish and entertaining.

#TonightsMovie "Face Of Darkness" (1976) "short"(at 60mins!), interesting but crowded folk horror. On vol 2 of BFI's excellent "Short Sharp Shocks" compilations.

Discovered a rip in my favourite jacket. #tinyproblems

#TonightsMovie "Creature from Black Lake" (1976) A new @rifftrax.com classic ! youtu.be/CIKOanyd87A?...

#TonightsMovie "here" (2024) An interesting premise, but ultimately cloying and oversentimental.

Been after one of these water pistols for years. The nearest I'll get to a replica! #BladeRunner

I was in the front row at @mrmarksteel most excellent show at Sunderlands Fire Station. Clearly the couple to my left disagreed as they didn't return after the interval.

Recently rediscovered my 1977 bubblegum cards, still missing number 31. But with this smasing (and quite reasonable) purchase from Ebay, the set is now fully operational!

#TonightsMovie "Re-Animator" (1985) Classic horror comedy, this was the longer "integral" version.
