Well I made it to Litomyšl for the Jan Švankmajer: Reliquaries and Fetishes exhibition at Miroslav Kubik Gallery! What a thrill, got to meet a couple of bonafide movie stars in the White Rabbit and Little Otik. Also great to see some brand new pieces for 2026 - 92 and still going strong..!

Daily Brad Dourif character! 54. How did Criminal Minds go eight years before casting Brad Dourif as a serial killer who’s trying to turn people into living puppets? He’s Adam Rain.

Absolutely, renewal was a major question from very early on I believe, and whether Anna Torv even wanted to come back for a second season after how dull Olivia is in the first.

I love Fringe and personally, it keeps improving until the final season which goes off the rails a bit

Expect projects like this to become rare. WB and Paramount are being folded into Skydance. Evidence of their unique corporate identities will get scrubbed, as when Disney took over Fox. And the recent execs who were barely interested in history are being replaced with people who have zero interest.

31 movies that properly frightened me! 2. David Lynch’s Lost Highway. The trailer on a Blockbuster rental gave me nightmares as a kid. “As a matter of fact, I’m there right now.”

In August I spoke with Rick Baker about his career after he received a lifetime achievement award at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland! This was a real full circle moment for me. One of the first interviews I ever did when I was green was with Baker at TCMFF in 2012.

Favourite moment (banana split scene aside) is Fishburne asking Williams III “how do you sleep at night?” The answer, a hissed and furious “motherfucker, what makes you think I sleep?”

Watched Bill Duke’s Hoodlum yesterday and very much enjoyed. Laurence Fishburne is superb as Bumpy Johnson, backed by an awesome supporting cast (Chi McBride, Loretta Devine, Cicely Tyson, Clarence Williams III, Queen Latifah). Tim Roth goes BIG, Andy Garcia is hilarious. Big Untouchables vibes.

I am obsessed with Hope. A delirious, hilarious, gripping batshit epic with incredible cinematography and action, it has so many ideas it can’t sensibly fit them all into a 2.5 hour running time that flies by. I didn’t want it to end. Big swing brilliance that’s not afraid to fall on its face.

Bluesky cuties, consider this a good old fashioned call-out for work! I've landed safely thanks to your support, but financially things are still a little struggletown. This thread is really to remind commissioning type folks, producers and editors of the kind of work I do. Signal boosts welcome! 🧵

See THE INNOCENTS on a big screen! I must have watched it on a small one a dozen times before I finally caught it at the Cinematek in Brussels, with an audience. It was a whole new experience. Freddie Francis's widescreen cinematography! Everyone gasping in unison! Book your ticket now, if you can.

Second, a woman shines a flashlight onto a sealed stone well while a man beside her pushes against it in a dark, confined space. Third, in a black-and-white shot, a man in glasses and a suit examines an old stone well in the middle of a forest.

Had an absolute blast with Resident Evil. Giggled for 90 minutes in the best way. Lovely gooey surprises and, as a terrible gamer, it spoke to me. Were people really upset that it wasn’t about freaking Leon? A panicking dingus who’s bad at guns is the perfect lead for this, loads of fun.
