Bonus bonus #MovieChallenge: An American Werewolf In London (1981)

Yep, still enjoy this. Good, solid, classic for a reason. Plenty of culturally insane moments which are all part of the fun.

4/5

Umm excuse me, why am I not tagged in this?

Bonus #MovieChallenge: Peeping Tom (1960)

It's obviously better than I think it is, but I didn't especially click with this landmark classic of British cinema history. It's fine, I don't always need to have a good or worthwhile opinion.

3/5

#MovieChallenge 2025 week 46: All of us Strangers (2023)

Oof. Just so sweet and sad and full of love. Andrew Scott's got such a heartbreakingly wounded and vulnerable big gay face, and he and Paul Mescal get to be so tender and intimate with each other. Really beautiful.

4.5/5

Zadie Smith.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Bonus^3 #MovieChallenge: Morvern Callar (2002)

I dunno, man. It's probably doing something brilliant but I was not feeling the vibes that Lynne Ramsay's putting out there. Samantha Morton's face is pretty special, though.

2.5/5

A ★★★★ review of Frankenstein (2025) People have been telling stories and making art that wrestles with the big questions about death and life and creation and purpose for about as long as there have been people. It's obviously a profoun...

Bonus bonus #MovieChallenge: Frankenstein (2025)

Might be my favourite thing del Toro's done, but then I didn't enjoy Hellboy or Pan's Labyrinth so am absolutely not to be trusted. Further thoughts on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/froodofhoops...

Bonus #MovieChallenge: Happy New Year, Colin Burstead (2018)

Not as toe-curlingly uncomfortable as I was bracing myself for.

3.5/5

#MovieChallenge 2025 week 45: Witchfinder General (1968)

Entirely disappointing. Full review on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/froodofhoops...

"6-7"?! Boy I say boy you gen alpha kids cant be doin' that! Your signifiers need signs boy! You've laid a rhetorical claim to an empty space son! You're creatin' a nihilistic dialectic! Your broccoli hairs obfuscatin' some much needed communication! Find some MEANIN', kid!

TOAD WILL NOW DANCE, AND HE WILL BE WONDERFUL.

In the font and color style of a Zohran Mamdani's political ad, the words "How to cook forty humans," as found on a book cover that's almost certainly had all the dust blown off it to reveal the full title now.

(Beartato and Reginald are reading books on Sailors' Wisdom) REGINALD: "Red sky at night, sailors delight." BEARTATO: "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning." REGINALD: "Red sky at dawn, a storm's coming on." BEARTATO: "Red sky at noon, a storm's coming soon." REGINALD: "Red sky at dusk? That counts as night. Refer to previous wisdom, all right?" REGINALD: "Red sky tomorrow fills sailors with sorrow." BEARTATO: "Red sky today? That's prob'ly okay." REGINALD: "Red sky on the ground: you're upside-down." BEARTATO: "Reader beware, you're in for a scare." Oops, wrong book. REGINALD (tossing book away): I'm getting nothing. BEARTATO: Same. (They peed outside. Turns out they were on a boat! The sky is swirling purples and greens with some yellow orange spirals). REGINALD: Curse you, sailors

Sailors' Wisdom

I don't like this fascist dystopia.

Robert,

This is just to say I have misunderstood the cow tools that were on the table and which you were probably saving for an amusing cartoon Forgive me they are crude so incomprehensible and lack something in sophistication (apologies to William Carlos Williams)

Can you imagine if someone released a computer game, or a musical album, or *whatever*, that was designed to sexual groom children, or encourage them to commit suicide or any of the things LLMs are doing on a daily basis, how quick the media and political condemnation would be?

There are no words for how evil this is

best ending of all time, let's be real

First, he ran *against* us, now he is *doing what he promised* - why does this man hate so much?
