My latest grab from @20thcflicks.bsky.social is Guillermo del Toro’s kinda unofficial sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon, that’s also an old school Hollywood romance. And yes, the fish is indeed sexy. 🐟 #letterboxd #filmsky boxd.it/9BFMMT

It’s the first Saturday of May, so Jack in the Green is back in Bristol. It’s always great to see these people returning with the summer every year.

Hahaha

For my #lastfourwatched we have the last film of #precodeapril a classic short adaptation of Shirley Jackson, the first ever horror film and Santo dealing with lepers in the Wild West (non porn version) #filmsky #letterboxd

Ever wondered what the story of Cinderella would be like if told from the perspective of the ugly stepsister, and was also a wince inducing body horror? Then get yourself down to @wshed.bsky.social and see The Ugly Stepsister while it’s still on. boxd.it/9xzVVx

Same here. #precodeapril has filled my stats with the grand stars of the thirties, plus it’s effectively doubled the number of thirties films I’ve seen.

I saw #SINNERS last night and I can say it’s an absolute amazing feat of the filmmakers art. Currently at the top of my films of 2025 ranking. Like the best films it expands your horizons, new history, music and ideas all there for the viewer. #filmsky #letterboxd boxd.it/9vJny7

It’s #LastFourFriday This week it’s the tail end of #precodeapril and the wonderously good Sinners. #letterboxd #filmsky

In the theatre to go see SINNERS! Ready to get my world rocked!

Here’s mine. Fun fact, every one of these was watched in the cinema.

BRB, gonna check to see if it’s on GOG…

Hot damn! I got to see the awesome documentary on Cliff, Mancunian Man, on a double bill with his delightful film GBH. So glad that an under recognised hero of DIY cinema is getting his due.

Got my copy of the Oscar Cook anthology put together by @johnnymains.co.uk Having seen the amount of love and effort he was pouring into this and finding the subject interesting I had to get a copy. Can’t wait to start it.

Hey @swsilents.bsky.social want to hear my idea for an addition to those lovely double bills you do? Antarctica! First Herbert Ponting’s THE GREAT WHITE SILENCE To be followed by John Carpenter’s THE THING How’s that for adventure at the ends of the earth? 🐧 🇦🇶 👽

My latest watch for #precodeapril is MYSTERY RANCH, the poverty row western elevated by also working as a gothic horror that Disney doesn’t want you to see. This is possibly going to be the most obscure watch for Pre-Code April. #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/9j1iTD

SOCKS! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘 SOCKS! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘 SOCKS! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘

#precodeapril continues with the film debut of Bette Davis, with a surprise appearance by a young Humphrey Bogart. But what got me pointing at the screen like Rick Dalton was seeing Karl Freund credited as cinematographer. German camerawork rules! ✊😎 #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/9iyRvX

I learned of #precodeapril literally 24 hours before it began due to the Bluesky algorithm feeding me @filmfan1971.bsky.social skeets in my discover feed. So there’s no way I could pull up a watch list, complete with theme on such short notice, right? Wrong! #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/FAYai

Remembering the great Richard Norton in the best way possible. By watching him fight Cynthia Rothrock on top of a flying saucer.

Yesterday I got to see a great double bill of films thanks to @swsilents.bsky.social and I enjoyed them so much I would up writing full on essays as reviews! 😂 I do love it when a film really challenges me like this, so thanks for the show. First Battleship Potemkin. boxd.it/9giKZL

Painful? Yeah, painful. RIP to a legendary badass. 😢

Just watched #Flow and I can report that it’s an absolute delight of a film. A film for the whole family that genuinely works for every member of the family. #filmsky #Letterboxd boxd.it/9fo3Pr
