Sep 17th - The date of the giant vegetable competition at Tottington Hall. 📽️📅 Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

2 Screenshots from the movie "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" (2005): First, Gromit the dog stands in a greenhouse surrounded by ripening vegetables like bell peppers and tomatoes, looking wide-eyed and alert. Second, Gromit looks at a hanging calendar marked with red Xs, showing the date September 17 circled for the Giant Vegetable Competition at Tottington Hall, with illustrations of large carrots and other produce in the background.

Yeon Sang-ho’s hive mind zombie actioner COLONY just had its UK premiere @frightfest.bsky.social featuring Jun Ji-hyun in her first big screen role in over 10yrs.

Ridley Scott’s THE DOG STARS is aggressively unremarkable, stubbornly refusing to stray outside the lines of the decade’s most overcooked genre. Characterisation is threadbare and the narrative so scant that on the one or two occasions it does attempt something interesting, the tone jars horribly.

James Marsh @marshy00.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I see what you’re doing, Disney. No press screening, red rainstorm warning. But I will not be deterred, I’m heading out to see Ridley’s new movie and that’s all there is to it. And yes my feet are wet already.

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

He even signed it for me. Behold my very own Na Hong-jin original! 😅 #nahongjin #hope #koreancinema #나홍진 #호프
