Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Obsession - The sense of dread is palpable, as we see what is forced upon real Nikki. Farewell My Concubine - Epic scope, wonderful costume and set design and excellent performance from protagonists The Birds - Hitchcock threw a ton at this, it didn't all stick for this.

Farewell My Concubine - 4.5

Happy #LetterboxdFriday Sisters - clear inspiration from Rear Window, but made into its own thing The Voice of Hind Rajab - Impossible to rate, but essential viewing The Children's Hour - The portrayal of coming to terms with sexuality under the scrutiny of the neighbourhood is done so well

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Alec Guinness shines as all eight D'Ascoyne members in this darkly comic drama Atmospheric, claustrophobic and just a brilliant ghost story. Osment is genuinely incredible in this. The lines between reality and the imagined is so well done here and the twist is wonderful

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Iconic horror antagonist, decent enough film Almodovar balances both lightness and darkness incredibly well here, although perhaps threw a little too much into it. Bottoms has now become one of my comfort watches. Chaotic and hilarious.
Hellraiser - 3 stars
Volver - 4 stars
Bottoms - 4 stars

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Solid, if unspectacular. My least favourite of the Vengeance Trilogy Wonderful trilogy of central performances. Ending didn't work at all. Solid action flick with some heart.
Lady Vengeance - 3 stars
The Philadelphia Story - 3.5 stars

Looks as though Farage's stunt has backfired spectacularly already...

If Farage wants a byelection, he should pay for the byelection out of the £5m gift he received. Otherwise he should be barred from standing. What a waste of public money.

Rob Atkinson @robatk.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
So if Farage wins the by-election, I presume any parliamentary enquiry into him right now becomes null and void? Hence why he's doing it?

I do think comparing the money you didn't disclose to first a lottery win, then as earnings as a result of hard work, and then actually it was to provide security services does show a lack of faith in any individual line to hold.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Just the two this week. Rewatch of the Lost World, as I wanted some Dino carnage. It's chaotic to say the least! Love Ducournau's style and use of music, but the multiple types of genre being played around with didn't always pay off. A little too weird for my tastes...
