These 4k boxed sets get bigger every year. Not sure I like the look of that statue. Looks nothing like Cushing.

Needs podge. Then more shaping, and all the painting and flocking that follows. #miniterrain

This Film often has the piss taken out of it for being a rather sedentary piece about 2 people just talking a lot — BUT — it has one of the most brilliantly prescient monologues imho. MY DINNER WITH ANDRE (1981) Have a listen.

Hi. I'm in the UK and ordered a copy of this. I've emailed a few times trying to find out what's happening with this order. When will it be sent out, do you know? I had to chase the last order I made with you and nearly missed out entirely. I'd rather not miss out on this one.

You're not used to being shot at? Isn't that a good thing?

Having enjoyed the big, dumb film version, I read the original novel of 'The Meg'. You should try it some time. Location descriptions read like Wiki articles with a couple of the words changed to avoid being sued. It's spectacularly awful. How is it a best selling series?

The great annoyance that came out of my recent trip was dealing with #Lufthansa customer 'service', and the huge effort they will go to to avoid paying out on a promise made by one of their own customer service people. Their final, smug defence was, "Well, you can't prove what was said, can you?"

Three suitcases go into Austrian Airlines care at the same time - Sarajevo to Glasgow, via Vienna. The London to Glasgow leg is British Airways. One case gets stuck in Vienna, one in London, and one somehow between London and Glasgow. Yay... #travel #lostluggage

Also, he once told an interviewer that he couldn't talk about his war record because it was still covered by the official secrets act. I'm sure the reply to that is also 'like many others', or he simply didn't want to talk about it for entertainment's sake but, again, it sounds cool.

Yeah, but it sounds cool. 😉

Last morning walk in #Sarajevo for a while. Encountered this chaos goblin in the grounds of the main mosque, charging around, stalking leaves, living his best life. #catsofbluesky

His war record is *still* a military secret.

At night, when the grounds are closed for the day, the keepers of the main mosque in #Sarajevo put out food, and the occasional box lid, for the stray cats of the city. They have a safe place at night. Gorgeous.

In 1994 when they were taking off but by no means massive or wielding any influence within the music industry, Green Day took gay punk band Pansy Division on tour with them. People were very vocally homophobic back then (in England, section 28 was still very much in force - not repealed until 2003!)

Travelled to #Visegrad for thr bridge there. If you've ever read 'The Bridge on the Drina' you'll know why this is a special place. It's well worth a read if you've not. Sadly, there's not a lot in Visegrad apart from the bridge and related museums. Worth two half days and one night.

#Sarajevo is a beautiful place, but a hard one too. Before I post lots of tourist pics, I want to acknowledge what the criminal Serb forces did here, that they still refuse to accept they did. They committed a genocide here. Recently, they buried one of the architects of that crime as a hero.

I like when they staged the Battle of Waterloo for £2.50 and a packet of crisps.

Next time, ask if he can tear it up and bin it. You would do it, but you're a bit busy.

#InTheGrey, on Prime. A review. Impossibly rich people have a problem with a fabulously rich person. They employ a very rich person to solve the problem. She has two wealthy people who help her. They employ well paid people to help kill wage slaves. A couple of the well paid people die too. Meh.

It was the season's Exposition Episode. Lots of people standing around, saying the same thing over and over. Insufficient punching.

I think this is where my mild fez obsession began. My absolute favourite story of #DoctorWho, the Pyramids of Mars.

One of the many, many annoying and damaging things about this whole case is that it will once again make it harder for those with legitimate, trained assistance dogs to be treated correctly and get the support they need.

60yrs ago (8th Sep) the first episode of Star Trek played on NBC and so it is a very Happy Birthday to a series and franchise that means a lot to so many people. Here is some of my fan art of the original crew. Live long and prosper.

Really needs a 4k restoration by the #BFI. It's at least as haunting as Threads in many ways. There's a terrible melancholy to its portrayal of post-nuclear holocaust Britain, with its trivial social prejudices struggling to survive in the face of an impossibly dark (if surreal) reality.

Iain Lowson @embraagain.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

So happy to add this to my library. #TheBedSittingRoom is a piece of 1960's surrealist genius. It has the most incredible cast, including British theatre royalty. I was baffled by it as a kid, but learned to love it on later viewing. It's currently on Prime if you've not seen it. Recommended.

I have a huge pile of unread books. As is traditional, this means I am rereading books I've read before. Read through the Witchfinder collections (Mignola et al), and am now on Leiber's Swords series. To be fair, I've not read those since uni over 30 years ago, so I'm excused.
