Today is the anniversary of Thesiger’s passing and tomorrow is his birthday.
Apologies for not talking about more serious and important stuff on this app, but the world needs Sam Raimi movies too. So we're gonna be a little annoying this month with the aim of bringing you a little entertainment in a dark time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkdh...

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch GRIZZLY MAN (2005) in our Directed by Werner Herzog collection. Herzog's gripping documentary chronicles one of the most extreme-and ultimately tragic-experiments in human-animal cohabitation ever attempted.
Pluribus Pluribus Pluribus. Thank you, Vince Gilligan.
This is where I post from.
For my first feature for @latimes.com, I talked to director Clint Bentley, his writing partner Greg Kwedar, and Joel Edgerton about TRAIN DREAMS, an intimate epic I'd encourage you to see in theaters before it hits Netflix later this month: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
A review of Boorman and the Devil, a documentary on the making and disastrous reception of Exorcist II: The Heretic, the 1977 sequel to the The Exorcist.
"Can I handcuff a bloomin' shirt?"
SEND HELP. In theaters January 30, 2026.
I'd add VICTIMAS DEL PECADO (1951) directed by Emilio Fernandez, which recently got the Criterion treatment so it's easy to see. I hope LA OTRA and other Gavaldons get similar restorations soon.
"They all come here and eat the big dinner."
"Putin, NO!"
It tells a lot of stories and hints at many more.

I'm a simple man, so please explain how this isn't the best joke ever written.
I was 13 but yes, I still think about the sudden severing which befell young Michael Milton.
Thanks, Trevor!

From a few years back, the Mr. Peel's Sardine Liqueur look at THE SWIMMER. I always felt pretty good about how this one turned out. mrpeelsardineliqueur.blogspot.com/2018/09/sens...
OK, Bluesky. Let’s see those face cards. ⬇️
