But it works here too. I try not to use reaction gifs often but Olise dribbling the field like that and finishing it with such a great strike is some proper 90s R9 football. Love when a fun can be described as marauding. 000
Michael Morrison @michaelmorrison.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This is why I never board haunted ghost ships, avoids time slips. Incredible movie, Jenkins does it again.

Michael Morrison @michaelmorrison.bsky.social · 26/09/2026My brother and I were talking horror movies and he pointed out its odd given their fascination with crime and noir that the French New Wave directors didn’t make any horror. And he’s right, it’s pretty much a blank. But I did find Juliet Dans Paris (1967) a beautifully shot horror short… 110

Michael Morrison @michaelmorrison.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It’s too bad Jack Torrance is such a bad guy cause that corduroy jacket is sweet as hell, but he’s ruined it for casual wear. At least the burgundy but maybe it would be ok in navy or a nice hunter green? 000

Michael Morrison @michaelmorrison.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Finally the right decision has been made. I’d love a more specific criticism of Pipa’s behavior and a more forceful statement on women having a place in the game from the team that just won NWSL rights, but I’ll settle for this. 010
Michael Morrison @michaelmorrison.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Backrooms (2026) I loved the backrooms, didnt need the parts in the real world. There’s a 90 minute version of this movie that’s fantastic. But the production design is incredible. Curious to see what the director does next. 000

Michael Morrison @michaelmorrison.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We watched Miracle Mile (1988) and I’m so glad I didn’t know anything going into it. Wow. Its like the director saw After Hours and said “I’ll show you one crazy night.”The grandparents who go to Canters are the only reasonable people in the whole movie. Loved all the LA locations. 140

Michael Morrison @michaelmorrison.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Widow’s Bay is one of those rare shows that everyone raves about but it’s actually as good as the hype.
