La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 5hAll righty— #my9albums, artwork edition. These are 9 of the most beautiful records I’ve ever owned. 020
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 12hAgreed. I made a playlist for this year. open.spotify.com/playlist/6qT...open.spotify.com1980Playlist · Reaky · 32 items 130

La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Drop some MIRRORS Dead of Night Orphée Last Year at Marienbad The Apartment 020
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Awful that I had no room for Elvis and Blondie. 010
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 05/10/2026So lovely, this makes me believe everything’s going to be all right. 110
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#My9Albums My editions of the Fats and Miles albums had different sleeves, but all these were formative. 250
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 04/10/2026#NowPlaying Beck had Album of the Year in the bag until I heard Julia Jacklin’s The Gem. Astounding songwriting and performance, and sure to be a record that stays with me. 020
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Mister Krushchev said, "We will bury you" I don't subscribe to this point of view It'd be such an ignorant thing to do 010
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If I can have 5 more: Dracula (1958) Goldfinger The Servant 2001: A Space Odyssey The Man Who Fell to Earth 010
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I could put at least 3 Powell & Pressburger films on this list, and regret the absence of Hammer and Bond, but in the interests of representing the whole of British cinema: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp Kind Hearts and Coronets The Third Man Saturday Night and Sunday Morning The Wicker Man 350
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 28/09/2026He says “Scotland Yard” because his knowledge of the world stems from old movies he’s watched in bed on late night TV. 000
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I really liked The Wolfman—a proper period gothic. The father/son tussle is as rubbish as the one one in Ang Lee’s Hulk, but there’s lots of good stuff in it. 021
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Letty Lynton opens as Sternbergesque exotica, becomes a charming shipboard romance, then something more touching, before reaching an almost frightening intensity. The film’s grip lessens in the last stretch, but what’s come before is amazing. 0131
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Some have complained that there’s not much of a plot, but The Fog is a gorgeous mood piece. I would be an avid listener to Adrienne Barbeau’s late-night jazz station, even with the occasional breaks in programming to scream at her kid to get out of the house. 020
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I may have to watch this just to see Jayne Mansfield as a mob boss. 171
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I periodically do a run-through in the autumn—last was last year. 020
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Just talking with @adriandoran.bsky.social about how Frank Miller must have modelled Marv in Sin City on Aldo Ray. 110
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I haven’t seen it mentioned, but Vampir Cuadecuc pulls off the amazing feat of making something beautiful out of raw Jess Franco. 130
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The trailer with Popol Vuh/Kate Bush soundtrack pulled me in. 110
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Coach to Vienna, Twilight and Devil’s Trap look magnificently gloomy. I’ve snapped them up. 220
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The little town is atmospheric, but the only thrills are the spooked reactions of the heroine. Otto Kruger takes a spectacular fall down hundreds of stairs while in the teeth of a large dog, though. 040
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Woman Who Came Back (1945) starts alarmingly with a witch-burning flashback and an old biddy sending a busload of passengers to their deaths, but then settles down to become something like a contemporary Universal rural Sherlock Holmes mystery minus the mystery. 133

La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Very good—proper noir—in Tourneur’s Nightfall. 010
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 24/09/2026“Born Again Public Schoolboy Daniel Thomas” also works. 011
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Public schoolboy Daniel Thomas? Did two years in prison for attempted kidnapping Daniel Thomas? Born-again Christian Daniel Thomas? 010
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Problem is, Lichtenstein didn’t rip off just Heath—he plagiarised something like 30 or 40 comic artists, including the likes of Irv Novick, Tony Abruzzo and John Romita. David Barsalou has spent decades tracking down the copies RL has refused to acknowledge. www.flickr.com/photos/decon...flickr.comDeconstructing Roy Lichtenstein™ © 2000Explore Deconstructing Roy Lichtenstein™ © 2000’s 12,964 photos on Flickr! 2112
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Dolphin House used to be a great and inexpensive place to stay in London. Always used to think of The Sorcerors when taking a dip. 000
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The murder in Torn Curtain. I haven’t seen the film in decades, but this scene has stayed with me while the rest has evaporated. 000
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Starting here, I’ve gone into a Sorcerers deep dive on Bandcamp. Groovy jazz exotica. 020
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Bump the ages up a decade and switch in “Doctor Who”. 010
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The pace is more relaxed for comic artists these days (though still demanding), but knowing that the likes of Jack Kirby were turning out around 100 pages a month is staggering. And they looked like this. 1863
La Médiathèque @mediatheque.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Lichtenstein’s failure to credit any of his sources is a tell. 0110
