The thing about Bridgerton is that the costumes are sumptuous, but the uniforms are rubbish. I spotted an infantry officer without his shako, and a French 5th Hussar cutting about London. Didn’t they know there was a war on? #bridgerton

All this fuss over casting in Nolan’s Odyssey. I mean the fuss is ridiculous, but why all the rage for that when there isn’t a single boar tusk helmet or Dendra panoply to be seen, and Odysseus and his crew are cutting about in a Viking longship? #Odyssey

Merrick was shot & killed as she slept, over two years ago. NatureScot has had all the evidence on its desk for over 18 months. Now we're being asked to wait "a few weeks" more. It's pathetic. #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/11/05/n...

NatureScot says “decision in next few weeks” on whether to impose General Licence restriction in relation to shooting & killing of golden eagle Merrick
The Scottish Government’s nature advisory agency, NatureScot, has been now been procrastinating for over 18 months on whether to impose a sanction on an estate in relation to the ‘shooting and kill…

Back on track tonight with The Haunted Palace. For my money, it’s the best Lovecraft adaptation on screen. Being Corman, he does have to shoehorn in Poe by virtue of some lines of poetry. Oh the horror…of the non-sequitur…Also, one of the best title sequences ever #halloween #corman #vincentprice

So, tonight I didn’t do a horror, cos it was family film night. So it was Superman 2025. And now we are all uplifted and happy…. #halloween #superman #noregrets

Controversial choice for day two. Doesn’t get much love, and the intro is an early equivalent to “Somehow, Palpatine returned…”. On the plus side, lots of angry villagers, the Second Doctor and Minder! #halloween #halloweencountdown #hammerhorror

Right. Let’s do this. I thought about starting the 30 days of Horror with “Demons of the Mind”, for the simple reason that I haven’t actually seen it..but decided to plump for the weirdly fay reincarnation story “Blood From The Mummies Tomb”. #hammerfilms #thirtydaysofhorror #halloween

First game of Pillage. Lessons? Terrain makes the game. This isn’t so much as a combat game as how your warband interacts with its surroundings. Even trying to clamber over crates can be dangerous, as Odo the Breton found out. Protect Berserkers, otherwise they become expensive door stops. Great fun

This is an excellent book. Well researched and written in an engaging conversational style which belies the darkest parts of Scots history. It ends with a warning- that history could easily repeat due to the double curse of othering and male violence to women #witchesofscotland

Scotland, just before 23:00. I love this land! Not so great for the undead though….

I’ve managed to get quite a bit off the painting table. Here’s some Oathmark goblin archers, a Frostgrave plastic mage (don’t know why, but he makes me think of Alex Lifeson) and some Bloody Miniatures ECW dudes #oathmark #orcs #frostgrave #ecw #bloodiniatures

Just finished the first batch of Hobday and Hicks orcses. As they were big lads with large choppers I decided to go with a ragey red skin tone. Lovely miniatures.. #orcs #warhost

'I had the dream again of the ghost bear hurling bones into the air. When they fell upon the forest floor, they formed strange signs that I could not interpret. It was as if I was on the ether again' - #CLNolan in letter to #ArthurMachen, 1906 @hookland.bsky.social 🖤🐾🌿

Goodbye to doomscrolling. This platform is a positive place to be, with peeps actually being nice to one another, where I can follow folk who want to talk whimsically about “stuff” and not want to burn books or other people. Unless it’s to pacify local deities and encourage the crops, of course….

Well, I didn’t think my first post on this platform would be political, but this is important. Attacks on the rule of law, by attacking lawyers and judges that a regime doesn’t like, is the very end of freedom. Good luck in your fight.
