@Glinner @DPJHodges One couldn’t make it up.

@DannyDrinksWine Collateral, Drive, the Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford, Under the skin 2013, In Bruges, 3 billboards outside Ebbing Missouri, No country for old men, Children of men, the Favourite, Pan’s labyrinth, Incendies, A Prophet.

Rewatching Black Narcissus. Aside from the story, acting, and direction it’s the colours that make it so great. Why ever did technicolour disappear? I don’t know why but it just looks right and improves every scene in every film it’s used on.

How insecure and self centred does a man need to be to report someone for harassment and then call the ensuing tribunal harassment too. Was she just supposed to suck the allegation up? Arse.

@AntigoneJournal I too have an ammonite and still treasure the 89 BC denarius that you gave away. It has not left my person since I received it and has been handled by scores of children in three schools.

@JoeBangles11 Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs tied equally. RD redefined cinema for me. The premise, dialogue, style, cast-all perfect and timeless. I think his best writing though is True Romance.

@Noirchick1 A matter of life and death. It doesn’t get more romantic than stopping time and proving one’s love in a celestial court or each offering to die in the other’s place.

@Dream_Eat3r @TheCinesthetic This. It’s one of the greatest gangster films. So good my Beloved got up early the next day to watch Part 2. I ignore any top ten gangster list that doesn’t contain it. Formidable.

Wondering how long @nhsfife will let the horror show continue. Embarrassing when you’re in the medicine business having a doctor who believes men can magically change to “biological” females at will. Do all doctors subscribe to this view or just the ones in Fife?

@mikemovies It always entrances me.

@WingsScotland Of course you don’t. I may not be an obstetrician but I do know you only need a gooseberry bush and then a stork or two. Imagine thinking you need a man and a woman. Crazy. Clearly you haven’t been to medical school.

@HistoricEngland Of course. It’s on the Monopoly pub crawl. I bet there’s loads of people who’ve been there and don’t remember a thing about the place or even being there though.

@FontanaRegi I’ve only just seen your reply. Hope you enjoyed it. It’s one of those films that I never get tired of and that I always finish happier than when I started it.

@ThePosieParker This year’s must see - Children of the Porn.

@WingsScotland I’m English and don’t have a dog in the independence fight. You appeared in my feed because you’re GC. As your reach has grown, I’d expect you to pick up GC followers at a much greater rate than Indy ones. And I think that will only increase.

@Blujay38006242 @Noirchick1 Thanks. That’s a shame. Apart from a full English, and I reserve that for Sundays, there’s no finer start to the day. Though corn beef hash in the US runs them a pretty close third.

@Flood20052023 @DannyDrinksWine There are three listings on eBay, two with English subtitles. Expensive but available.

@mikemovies Dire. I miss mid budget ordinary films. There’s way too much CGI and poor lighting. I yearn for film stars playing normal characters, directors being unafraid to take chances, cinema not streaming, and twenty good releases a year.

@DigiKintyre @WingsScotland I think you’re right about the gratification. I do believe though that he’s got a problem and needed mental health support and a dose of reality from those around him not the unconditional validation from his enablers.
