Liberty: A great concept (Laurel and Hardy on the lam, mix up their trousers) is taken to the level of genius by an unexpectedly tense girder sequence on top of a building site. Plus James Finlayson as an irate shop owner. Stan's physical comedy chops are astonishing here. Plus a crab! Brilliant.

I hear this. The generic email I received back.
Email received from the Criterion Channel:

Thanks for your email. While we'd love to offer Criterion Channel globally, our streaming service is currently limited to subscribers based in US and Canada. This has been the case since we launched in 2019.

It sounds like your system somehow bypassed these restrictions previously but unfortunately that's not something I can help you with resolving.

I'm sorry we couldn't offer better news. 

All the best,

Step Brothers: I love Ferrell and Reilly but this film wouldn't be the masterpiece it is without Jenkins and Steenbergen. A ridiculous script/improv that nonetheless gets it right practically every time. Hahn steamrolls in when required with such terrifying energy. God I love it so muc.

Mary Steenburgen is just brilliant in this. And the cut to the Christmas sleepwalking. Astonishing.

The run McKay went on from Anchorman (I like rather than love) to The Other Guys is as good a 4 comedy film haul as there has ever been imo.

Fright Night: McDowell and Sarandon do some astonishing out acting in this stylish comedy horror, which is genuinely both funny and creepy as fuck. Great f/x, superb line readings and wonderful production design combine to often dizzying effect. Had a blast.

Going through photos earlier and I am admonishing younger me for not turning around and taking a polaroid photo of my VHS collection. So annoying that I can barely make the titles out. See what you can see.
Me looking very silly in front of a bookshelf full of VHS films.

Lucozade was among the kitties featured in this year's Stoneybatter cat crawl. Please keep an eye out.
Text alongside a photo of a back and white kitty it says: Hoping someone has seen our cat, Lucozade. He's been missing since Wednesday morning.

Last seen: around Ivar Street, Stoneybatter, Dublin. Microchipped. Really friendly.

He has a black collar with an AirTag that has not updated since Wednesday morning when it last pinged about 5km away in Ballymun.

That was a lot of fun and very different than I expected. Fine performances, very funny and knowing script and a mad, weird energy. Basinger absolutely waltzes away with the film. What a star. Great choice @louosaurusrex.bsky.social and thanks @wesleydolan.bsky.social. #bootlegfriday
