Allegedly Cary Grant's love child, also live action reviewer for @ukanime.bsky.social, and general musings on film as prompted by random thoughts possibly best lost to time

Saw it Tuesday and an excellent, nuanced reflection of a time and place, with a lot of unassuming humour

Stwanwyck in the 1930's you can argue was peerless.

This needs a new blu-ray release and a lot more love, saw it twice in the cinema and many times more on DVD and it's a great movie

Or falls again, even - as it was a long time since I'd seen it and always that creeping dread it won't be as good as the memory believes it to be (or that I've changed as a person and in my taste), but it was. Hopefully the future brings even more HD Hayashi.

Love To Sleep with Anger, watched it as a young lad on The Moviedrome and it stayed with me for decades; as good when finally got the blu-ray; so glad we're getting a chance to see more of Burnett's film. Worth sharing Cox's Moviedrome intro to To Sleep with Anger: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwQ7...

Thanks for these reminders, finally got a ticket booked for this evening's showing of Angel's Egg. Keep meaning to, but the days not aligning, until now...

Billy the Kid is a strange but wonderful film, took a punt on the old Network DVD release and never looked back; on paper sounds terrible, realisation is superb.

Save the cinema museum fundraiser has again a generous donor matching donations for up to £5K, so another good reason if you can to drop them some cash to help them buy their home. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-cinema...

The Cinema Museum: HELP US BUY OUR HOME
After 40 years of uncertainty, we have a chance to secure our home. We need £500,000 to purchase our home and we have five months to do it!

You wouldn't think that Vinnie Jones could be charming in a film but somehow he is here, even if he clearly has a broccoli issue.

Save Cinema Museum campaign has another 10K matching this week so any thing you can share will be doubled: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/Onvr11K... also worth signing up to their newsletter for upcoming fundraising events - and of course, film screenings cinemamuseum.org.uk

Another day goes by and so another reason to help try and save the Cinema Museum. Also, by doing this you help stick it to the property developers for years trying to squeeze them out.

Likely six more than most of us, so if anything remarkable in that six... then again, older ones too, only recent film I've seen is Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma - recently made my friend's 16-year old a to-watch list before her film course and I was screwed when it came to the 2000s

Any films in particular you recommend seeing? Was thinking the latest Koreeda, and of course tempted by Gone to Earth, which somehow I've never seen

Final day reminder that a generous donor is matching all bank holiday donations to The Cinema Museum finally being able to buy their building.
100
bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Worth reposting daily, to maximise the generous matching donation. It's not just about the cinema museum and what they screen; they support ventures like @thenickelcinema.bsky.social saving the day of my The Outfit screening by oiling the print (described to much mirth) to allow it to be shown

bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
A properly good place, run by volunteers, whose kids back in the day even sold interval choc-ices in uniform. As well as being a haven for cinema goodness, and watching films

Pairing of Shishido and Aikawa here really worked; plot seemed like they mashed together the Siodmak and Siegel versions of The Killers, but in a genuinely good way. A lot of fun.

This is a properly bonkers and very entertaining film.

bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I can accept that, an all-nighter leading into an all-dayer, so add to my additions (while retaining Key Largo, which for the record I do like), Dark Passage (to get all the Bacall films in) and go rogue and add Three on a Match, mainly because I love it even if Bogart is only in a handful of scenes
010
bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
That's a good 'un, though maybe would be nice to swap out Key Largo for either The Enforcer (underrated, I feel) or In a Lonely Place. But maybe that's why I've never been asked to be a film programmer.

Also something to be said for boycotting Criterion Capital's other ventures like Zedwell hotels - which some US friends earlier in the year almost stayed at. Anything that hits greed trying to destroy culture should be hit where it hurts them: cold, hard financials

Apart from Oh Mr Porter (which I was surprised how much I liked) hard to imagine any of these getting a showing anywhere today

It hosts Kennington Bioscope, Women and Cocaine, early @thenickelcinema.bsky.social screened there, Zipangu fest back in the day (my first screening of To Sleep So As To Dream), giving some cash if you can to the Cinema Museum to help them finally buy their home: cinemamuseum.org.uk/donate/ is good

They did, some great double bills and inexpensive with it. Sadly the modern rebuild not in any way the same

Ring and Ring 2, on a double bill, for the first time. Riverside studios back when they did good stuff like that

Glad - or worried perhaps the insanity is spreading - someone else other than me feels Body Hammer is even better than the original.

Maddin's Careful; To's Exiled; Hill's Last Man Standing; Suzuki's Pistol Opera. How about a strand of pre-code films, you know you want to - Baby Face, Three on a Match, these always need more cinematic viewings

bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Fair to say this is a very entertaining film, very 80s in a good way, and I may have said a few words about it in the past, too: www.uk-anime.net/LiveAction/Y...

Yakuza Wives
Slick, entertaining, occasionally disturbing and willing to show the effect of violence on women, in its variation and that’s something perhaps that is quite rare.

Just today I got all the boxsets, bar the Long Island, as have all of those except one and worth noting though ships from the US, they add VAT etc. so rather than turn up in the UK and you get hit for some surprise eye watering customs fee, nope, straight to the door.

bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
Thanks, will keep a beady eye out. Love Maddin (again, another sacrifice for more of his work to get UK physical releases - I mean, Careful, how no one has ever put that out blows the noggin), so suspect this I will like.
001
bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
Dang, sold out. Well, time to sacrifice something (not anything cute that will cause public disapprobation - a scone or a leaf or something random, maybe) to the god of it better get a physical release by someone

bogartlost.bsky.social @bogartlost.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
Has this had any kind of UK physical (or upcoming cinema releases)? As I have to say each time this is posted my first thought is: I want to see this. My second thought is: I really want to see this. My third. Well I suspect will be obvious.

Saw the Hotel of My Dream at the JFTFP and it's a lot of fun, the central performance hits just the right notes in a film which stands and falls on it

An underappreciated masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned.

Plus later in the month a double of Kamikaze Girls (one of Third Windows best) and Mermaid Legend; they even have a showing of Love Exposure (sensibly with an intermission). Doing @thirdwindowfilms.com proud at the Nickel
