JW: Enys Men (2022) Mark Jenkin crams his puzzle box film with gorgeous textures and colour, Roeg-like timeslips, fractured memory and ritual. A naturalist on a remote island is gradually embedded in past events, as pre-Christian renewal and decay weaves with tragic losses on sea and land. #Filmsky

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

General warning to check carefully anyone with a venerated jazz musician's name in their account name as the man in question is a pest creating multiple aliases (but always with the same profile pic) who seems to have a particular penchant for writing patronising replies esp to women. Block him.

JW: The Last Man On Earth (1964). Adapted from Richard Matheson’s ‘I Am Legend’ it’s an atmospheric, apocalyptic widescreen black and white chiller shot in Rome. Vincent Price is excellent as scientist Robert Morgan, doomed survivor of a contagion that’s turned the populace into the undead. #Filmsky

Purging anyone who reposts shit from X about the orange dictator and his tech bro lapdog. It’s too triggering and I won’t have it in my timeline. And if folk would actually use ALT text on these screenshots it wouldn’t be necessary to block people. I could just filter the posts out.

Taking a break. It’s so bloody depressing at the moment. Look after yourselves out there.

Julian of Norwich lived through a most turbulent era, rife with unrest and the Black Death, and more. But I take comfort in her refrain: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." It is a prayer, a hope, a longing.

Thunderbirds are GO… back to their original format! As Thunderbirds turns 60, every episode of the classic show comes out on Blu-Ray in high definition, in the original 4:3 format– just as they were meant to be seen & heard– complete with the original mono soundtrack. But that’s not all...

Julian Holloway obituary

First watch: Who Killed Teddy Bear (1965, dir. Joseph Cates). Wild, noirish psychological thriller about a nightclub hostess and DJ who is the target of obscene phone calls. Yet can she trust those who come to her aid, even the cops and female friends? 1/4
