After deliberations @uncleloo.bsky.social & I have a #FThisMovieFest menu that will keep us happily snacking to stay awake to enjoy the great 1998 line-up. Hopefully without overindulging. I'd call this a "balanced" movie marathon diet with some popcorn, Astros/M&Ms & energy drinks on the side. ๐Ÿคญ

David Suchet making an appearance adds a whole star to this movie. #NowWatching A PERFECT MURDER (1998, Dir. Andrew Davis) #1998BuildUp #FThisMovieFest

Now that weโ€™ve announced itโ€™s 1998 month at @fthismovie.bsky.social, you should follow along with my โ€˜98 ranking on Letterboxd

There is peace: @uncleloo.bsky.social wins cause he guessed 5 of 6 movies; I only got 4. @patrickbromley.bsky.social threw a lovely curve ball as both of us expected the Covid birthday marathon to take Small Soldiers out of the running. Loving this 1998 line-up: www.fthismovie.net/2025/02/anno...

#FThisMovieFest

@bloots.bsky.social and I have had legitimate, heated arguments about the possible line-up for #FThisMovieFest because we're dedicated (read: insane) and incredibly excited (read: out of our fucking minds). @fthismovie.bsky.social

Not knowing what the #FThisMovieFest line-up will be, but wanting to watch a 1998 movie... it's like playing Russian roulette and I don't know if I'm brave enough...

Can neither confirm nor deny that this news is a promotional tie-in for F This Movie Fest on March 1 #fthismoviefest

Honestly, the only way to deal with a bully is to ignore him and take his toys away.๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿป Bring on the rise of BRICS and the fall of the dollar. Itโ€™s time already. Come one, call his bluff. America needs friends. If he pisses off the whole world no one will want to play with him. Oh boohoo.
