#Letterboxd last four Friday. #Filmsky📽️ An indie film I avoided for almost 20 years because I didn't like the trailer. Barry Jenkins' excellent first film, Lanthimos's return to form, and a pretty interest essay film.

#Letterboxd last four Friday. #Filmsky📽️ A disturbing horror short from Kiyoshi Kurosawa about a mysterious chime that makes you do terrible things, a Michael Ritchie baseball comedy they *couldn’t* make today, Challengers which was excellent and a British Invasion oddity with the Dave Clark 5.

LOL

Lol, The Acolyte is leaning into the sithirst so hard.

#FilmSky 📽️ My favorite first watches of June were two fairly new releases - The Beast (Bertrand Bonello) and Close Your Eyes (Victor Erice). Both phenomenal.

Favorite black and white film - probably a toss-up between Persona and Last Year and Marienbad.

Favorite black and white film

It's Letterboxd Friday! 📽️ These week, I've watched several films by Kaurismäki, Garrone, and Hamaguchi, which were all solid but fairly unremarkable, as well as Skinamarink, which did nothing for me.

Forbidden Planet (1956)

What's your favorite film adaptation of a Shakespeare play, Bluesky?

Hooting, hollering, firing my six-shooters in the air

Anne Rice’s ‘Interview With The Vampire’ Renewed For Season 3 At AMCdeadline.com Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire has been renewed for a third season by AMC Networks ahead of the show's Season 2 finale.

Happy 'The Boy and the Heron' on VOD day, everyone!

Oh look, another coping strategy for undiagnosed anxiety issues masquerading as a macho activity.

This is barbaric and these men must be studied for science www.gq.com/story/why-me...

Why Men Are ‘Rawdogging’ Flightswww.gq.com “I've got DMs on Instagram like, ‘Bro, you need to teach us how to bareback flights,’” says a pioneer of the swashbuckling trend.

Oh shit, Don Hertzfeldt has got a new film coming out. Apparently it's a musical called 'ME.'

OK, these are pretty spicy. Finishing even the lowest level was a bit of a chore. I can easily see how the 2x or 3x spicy variety could kill a Dane.

I have obtained the forbidden noodles.

HOly hell, today's episode of Interview with the Vampire is good.

Here's my #LetterboxdFavourites Duke of Burgundy is great and everyone should watch it (he said, for the second day in a row.) Persona and Marienbad are classics. Solaris is kind of a random pick - it could be replaced with several alternatives (e.g. Hertzfeldt's 'It's Such A Beautiful Day'.)

Hey folks, so thought I would do a #LetterboxdSunday and see how everyone's #LetterboxdFavourites are looking at the moment. Here's mine. How's yours looking?

I have obtained the forbidden noodles.

Quote skeet with one of your fav films that isn’t a huge hit 📽️ DUKE OF BURGUNDY - I honestly cannot recommend this film enough, I love it so much. Hard to describe because it might be best going in blind, but basically an examination of power dynamics via 70s softcore erotica genre pastiche.

Quote skeet with one of your fav films that isn’t a huge hit let’s get to know each other a bit more 👀 📽️ 📽 filmsky CLOUD ATLAS

Inside Out 2 *does* feature an anxiety attack, which apparently is all the rage in animated films these days.

Went to see Inside Out 2 with my kid and wow, the structure is IDENTICAL to the first - exiled emotions must travel back through Riley's mind, across pun-based environments (stream of consciousness, the sar-chasm) to protect a core part of her personality. If you liked the first, you'll like this!

It's Leterboxd Friday! 📽️ This week I've got a couple of classics of Italian neorealism, a pretty fun period piece by Greenaway, and one of my favourite new films of the year by the great Victor Erice.

RIP, Donald Sutherland. What a life in the movies.

It's all impact factor release day! 🧪 With all the calculation-driven fluctuations we've seen over the past few years, I have to wonder if Clarivate have done more than DORA to discourage the reliance on impact factor.

I'm a sucker for existential missing person films so Close Your Eyes (Victor Erice! 2023!!!) is pretty targeted to my interests, but it really is great. A profound, novelistic film.

Pollsters should quit making phonecalls and just count yard signs instead.

Oh man, loads of stuff on my MUBI watchlist are leaving in the next couple of weeks. Guess I'd better watch some films!

Letterboxd Last 4 Friday #Filmsky 📽️ The real stand-out here was The Beast - I'll definitely be rewatching that one. Also had some other fairly amusing recent releases, and a low-budget Argentinian horror from 2020 which is massively improved by an excellent ending.

Letterboxd Last 4 Friday #Filmsky 📽️ A couple of Hollywood comedies (Hellazpoppin’ might be the most unhinged Hollywood comedy), a great 70s film from Paul Schrader and Radu Jude’s Shadow of a Cloud about a priest who enrages the family of a dying woman by reading her the last rites.
