You do despair at this question. It would appear there ia no limit. They'll all have been against it one day in the future.

THIS WEEK!

23 hours into Death Stranding 2, and I'm still in Episode 3.

Bloooooon!!!

I don’t want to alarm anyone but I just saw a ginormous kaiju hanging around in South Bristol.

Great choices.

I feel like I have another film in me this evening, but I don't know what. Scouring Shudder right now.

You've been busy!

Last four films watched, logged on Letterboxd. From most recent...Late Shift, War of the Worlds, Friendship and Dreams

Once of these films is not like the others.

Quite shocking real-world stats at the end, about the terrible projections for nursing numbers, worldwide.

Letterboxd synopsis for Petra Volpe directed Last Shift

This is a powerful film, one will stay with me for some time. I'll never complain about a tough day at work again. Leonie Benesch, so good in The Teacher's Lounge, is brilliant here. I'll confess to being left on the edge of tears more than once.

Things immediately picking up by grabbing my favourite seat in my favourite screen at @wshed.bsky.social , Screen 2.

Felt sorry for the poor person who subsequently came up to me and asked if I was 'in the queue,' and who then had to listen to an old dude reply along the lines of 'I don't know, I dont queue at bars.'😂

The polite smile failed to hide the clear alarm in their eyes.

This battle may be over...

This feeling immediately affected by people queuing again at the @wshed.bsky.social bar

When all is said and done, is there really anything better than a Sunday afternoon, alone, at the cinema with some great food and a glass of red?

This is an excellent film, but one which I'd almost forgotten about. Might need a rare rewatch soon.

Catching Late Shift today at the cinema.

I came away with mixed feelings. Couldn't help feeling disappointed despite elements I liked a lot.

Lining up a double bill of my own making at @wshed.bsky.social tomorrow, because I still haven't shaken the @cineredis.bsky.social afterglow.

Once again the people of our city showed the fascists that they should still be afraid of Bristol. We outnumbered them 10 to 1 and they didn't get anywhere near the hotel. Bristol is antifascist!

Bristol City top of the league with a thrashing of the team that thrashed us in the play-off semi-final last season.🤷

We're not fussed. We're sat here freezing, eating a BBQ

View of Clifton Suspension Bridge from the Clifton Observatory. The bridge is framed by luscious green trees and there is a beautiful blue sky, with few clouds

Up at the Clifton Observatory for a picnic and a perfect view of the Balloon Fiesta. Mass ascent later.

It's so bad that you wonder if it was so on purpose. Presumably not.

Essential viewing back on the big screen, Charles Burnett's cinematic masterpiece Killer of Sheep, magnificently restored in 4K.

“A lyrical portrait of a community on the margins… The film doesn’t ask us to feel sorry for its characters, to pity them, but it does demand that we afford them dignity and respect... Groundbreaking!” Oscar-winning director Sean Baker on Killer of Sheep

Back in UK cinemas in 4K

I'm so glad I have a VPN again because Shudder steps up several notches.

This is excellent

Great to see Wet Leg speaking out so strongly #FreePalastine
