My new favourite UK theatrical release of 2026. Wish that I had caught this at the QFT!!! #FilmSky boxd.it/gWpu93

Also popped into No Alibis and grabbed some books… #BookSky💙📚

An enjoyable afternoon at the QFT… #FilmSky boxd.it/h0zZ3B

Well, Fatherland was a hit with both father and son at the QFT today… 🙏❤️

There's something very special to me about Price and Tierney sharing a screen. Dragonwyck, Laura, and Leave Her to Heaven are all great. This is a still from Laura, but Leave Her to Heaven is my fave. It's hard to believe such a story ever got made, and yes, Gene's finest hour among many fine hours

Bernadette Lafont in the Jean Eustache film "The Mother and the Whore" - BOTD

Pascale Ogier in Jacques Rivette's LE PONT DU NORD (1981) Ogier was BOTD in 1958

“Stand straight in what kills you & confounds you and believe..”

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I really liked this, the first E Strout I've read. She's a dynamite storyteller and I am becoming more drawn to nihilistic men of a certain age for some reason. The politics were a bit unsophisticated, but the last two or three pages were as moving as I've read for a while.

On Feb 1st 1975, Miles & band played 2 shows in Osaka, the afternoon show became Agharta, the evening show became Pangaea. Mellow psychedelic jazz funk, anyone? Mtume, Foster & Henderson lay down mad grooves, Pete Cosey brings the colour. Magnificent. 3/ Miles Davis - Pangaea #76From76

Once Upon a Time in Harlem is out in theatres, and it’s a great film that people should seek out but also, if you haven’t watched William Greaves’s Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, you should do so immediately one of the best works of 20th century art

If this is their last song, it is an absolute banger to go out on … ❤️❤️❤️❤️ music.apple.com/gb/album/whe...

In 1989, when I had feet in the prog and indie camps, I saw a cassette of this in a £2.99 bargain bin. At that price, I had nothing to lose... A big smile of a record. Just what I needed. 2/ Electric Light Orchestra - A New World Record #76From76

And Fassbinder’s classic, screened by the festival in 2005 in a similar programme responding to racism in Belfast at that time.

A small programme in the wider @belfastfilmfest.bsky.social in reaction to the rise in racist violence in the city. Can cinema be a tool for anti-racism? belfastfilmfestival.org/event/how-ca...

Ok, the evenings are drawing in, & I need a project. #76From76 is go. Like every year, great records everywhere. Will play each one, taken from a list of 100. Up first, a Joni masterpiece, Jaco Pastorius shines. 1/ Joni Mitchell - Hejira

Once again, I feel Chantal Akerman gently prodding me from beyond to go out there with my silly notions of structural film-making in this day-and-age. Easier now that the nights are drawing in. letterboxd.com/danielmudfor...

London friends. I will be reading some new poems, including my epic ex-boyfriend poem, at @insurgentpress.bsky.social Club VD @allgoodbookshop.co.uk this Thursday night and would love you to come ❤️

For those who love silent cinema, this playful documentary (using old lecture notes as its launchpad) is a fun watch. #FilmSky boxd.it/gXyIAT

All the Joan Hickson Miss Marple adaptations on BBC IPlayer?!?!? Don’t mind if I do… ❤️❤️❤️❤️

To the guy behind me at the stoplight frantically waving his copy of Vineland for me to see in my rear view mirror, the sighting of which caused me to manically laugh and put me in a good-ass mood for the entire day: HELL YEAH BRO

A real grower this – 'Punch Card' the recently released debut album by Formal Sppeedwear. Wonderful basslines drive the alt-pop 80s sound. Bits of Talking Heads, Fripp-era Bowie guitars, New FADS – but very much their own unique thing. Looking forward to seeing them live next week ❤️

I should have loved this but I didn’t. 3* for the stuntwork and cinematography. #FilmSky boxd.it/gWhG23

The new Wilhelmina Barns-Graham exhibition at Tate St Ives shows that she was one of the great 20th C artists. A triumph

FB vinyl pages continue to amuse, this time it's the clutching of pearls over including comps in the 9 albums list. Comps open doors, & sometimes a good comp is all you need. These nine were massive for me. #ninealbums #compilations #MusicSky

I’ve written a few thoughts on Five Little Pigs, 1942, by Agatha Christie, where Poirot embarks on a True Crime book to investigate a case! An excellent read 💙📚 #BookSky #Braille https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/759a70f7-6cde-439e-b392-b52fbe53a8a8

"...I saw 'Excalibur' on release - and thoroughly enjoyed it - 47 years ago. But not half as much as I did watching Arrow's 4kUHD..." My Letterboxd notes on John Boorman's magical epic... #FilmSky boxd.it/gVE6hX

Very fun pre-Halloween viewing… #FilmSky boxd.it/gVE4Wf

Happy #LetterboxdFriday 📽️! It's another film fest edition of good/great films for my #LastFourWatched. What have you been watching recently? The Debut (2026) Club Kid (2026) Rose (2026) Fatherland (2026)

THE EAR (Karel Kachyňa, 1970). Queasy, destabilising portrayal of fear, paranoia and semi-covert surveillance of a Czech government official and his wife, mostly set in their claustrophobic home, intercut with scenes from a lavish function that took place earlier in the evening. #FilmSky
